REAL SHADY Eminem was ‘probed by secret service’ over ‘threatening’ rap about finding Ivanka Trump in his car boot

THE US Secret Service investigated rapper Eminem about his lyrics criticising Donald Trump and apparently "threatening" Ivanka, newly released docs show.
In the song Framed from the 2017 album Revival, the rapper sang about discovering Ivanka in the boot of his car, sparking outrage at the time.


Buzzfeed first broke the news of the Secret Service's investigation into this lyrics following a Freedom of Information Act request it had filed in 2018 to find out if agents had been sent to interview the rapper.
The roughly 40 pages of documents that were turned over to website stated that the agency had interview the Real Slim Shady rapper because of the "threatening lyrics" in Framed.
On the track, the rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers, declared: "Donald Duck's on, there's a Tonka Truck in the yard / But dog, how the f**k is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?
The song later goes on: "...'cause I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde Girl / That m********in ' baton twirler that got dumped in the pond, second murder with no recollection of it...”
According documents received by Buzzfeed, on December 15, 2017, the day of Revival's release, a complaint was made that Framed featured "an inappropriate comment towards President Trump and a threatening comment towards Ivanka Trump."
That complaint came from a "concerned citizen," who turned out to be an employee of TMZ, the documents showed.
The note was sent to the Secret Service with a link to an article about the song.
Hours before that request was made, TMZ published an story about Eminen's criticism of the president, and it appeared from the documents that the website was seeking comment from the Secret Service about the lyrics.
No correspondences from other individuals about the song were shown in the heavily-redacted documents.
They did however note: “This is not the first time MATHERS made threatening comments towards POTUS and his family.
"In June 2017, MATHERS freestyled comments that were threatening in nature towards POTUS.”
As background evidence, the documents also cited a December 2017 interview Mathers had carried out with the website Vulture, where he claimed Trump "makes my blood boil."
On the album Kamikaze, Eminem's 2018 follow-up to Revival, the rapper's title track, The Ringer, hinted that Slim Shady had been investigate for his previous comments.
The lyrics go: "Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service / To meet in person to see if I really think of hurtin’ him.
"Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists / I said, ‘Only when it comes to ink and lyricists."
The documents – which refer to the rapper as Marshall Mather throughout – showed that Eminem and his legal team met for an interview on January 16, 2018.
The two-page summary of this interview was redacted from the documents, but it did mention that the discussion centered around lyrics in Framed and Like Home, another song off the Revival album.
There was also a section in the report that listed aliases, Eminem and Slim Shady.
Two days after the meeting, the interview was discussed at a Secret Service meeting and it was determined that case would be "NON-REFERRED” to a federal prosecutor, the documents say.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This...

When Life Hands You Lemons

 It's like this folks: sometimes your mind goes blank. Happens more than usual with me of course. Take this forum for instance. I wanted to post something today and couldn't think of a topic. At least not a non-sexual one and we know sexual ones lately have been frowned upon.  Then along comes one of our regulars and complains about something. Well, they might not say it was a complaint, just an observation, but it was a complaint. A minor one. It has something to do about being able to make something out of nothing. Sort of like me this morning, how to make a thread out of an empty head? But they (notice I am using the correct pronoun, not saying he or she), by what they said got me thinking. What I thought was: Not sure if that is the actual saying, if I remember correctly, I remember the saying going something like this: Umm, no, I don't think the saying I am thinking of goes that way either, maybe ONE of you good folks can remind me how the saying goes. Either way, when...
