Yeah, wouldn’t that really be something?? :laughing:

To add to the above, this is this thing put in historical perspective. About 10 days ago from CNN.

Couldn’t they just ‘forget’ to give her credentials for the meeting ?

“Ivanka Tromp - T-R-O-M-P ? Oh, U, T-R-U-M-P ? OK, no, I am sorry, Mrs Trump, I don’t see you, please wait outside, while we check.”

It’s not just shameless and corrupt for Ivanka to be running around the world talking bullshit. It’s also stupid. Does she not know what kinds of safety nets they have for people in Western Europe? How clueless can you be? She’s obviously inherited her father’s belief that you just say words at people to make them think what you want them to think, even if anyone else would know what you’re saying is laughable nonsense. She’s not as insane as he is—nobody is—but it’s a crime family and the nest of vipers did not randomly produce one fluffy bunny rabbit. She’s got her role in the long con the way all the rest of them do.

And after Memorial Day, it will miraculously become the ‘Summer White House’.

She’s putting on a facade of “caring” but is really only looking into business opportunities on the taxpayer’s dime.

Here’s another reaction, this time from n-tv (Germany’s 24 TV news, sort of Germany’s CNN…)

Es ist kein gutes Zeichen, dass Ivanka Trump zum W20-Gipfel nach Berlin kommt. Sie hat mit dem Leben von echten Frauen ungefähr so viel zu tun wie ein Eisbär mit der Sahara.

“It is not a good sign that Ivanka Trump is coming to the W-20 in Berlin. She has about as much to do with the lives of real women as a polar bear has with the Sahara…”

OBAMA’S BARRAGE OF COMPLETE SENTENCES SEEN AS BRUTAL ATTACK ON TRUMP

CHICAGO (The Borowitz Report)—In an appearance at the University of Chicago on Monday, former President Barack Obama unloaded a relentless barrage of complete sentences in what was widely seen as a brutal attack on his successor, Donald Trump.

Appearing at his first public event since leaving office, Obama fired off a punishing fusillade of grammatically correct sentences, the likes of which the American people have not heard from the White House since he departed.

“He totally restricted his speech to complete sentences,” Tracy Klugian, a student at the event, said. “It was the most vicious takedown of Trump I’d ever seen.”

“About five or six sentences in, I noticed that all of his sentences had both nouns and verbs in them,” Carol Foyler, another student, said. “I couldn’t believe he was going after Trump like that.”

Obama’s blistering deployment of complete sentences clearly got under the skin of their intended target, who, moments after the event, responded with an angry tweet: “Obama bad (or sick) guy. Failing. Sad!”

The trump administration is either the most ignorant and unprepared administration this country has ever thrown together or the most corrupt. Because trump and his associated haven’t learned from their colleague’s past mistakes (Think the Conway/Ivanka live TV commercial), corruption seems like the only explanation.

An administration filled with so-called top-notch business people should easily be able to determine if advertising for the POTUS is a violation of ethics laws. Does it make you wonder just how ethical they were before being “hired” to work in the trump administration?

Maybe running the country is quite different than running a business? I think we, as a nation, have finally got our answer to that question.

It’s not “either…or” – it’s “and”.

This is the old link from Jan/Feb — to which the WH response was “none of your bidness”.

Is there a new one going? If so, I’m all for it!

Yup, have never been able to get my hubby to stop using “ice bear” in English…

One can hardly blame them. He’s going to get a lot of them killed if he’s not stopped.

Gawd knows I do. I think it’s that he tiptoes up to the truth then uses his attitude to make it seems almost like reporting. He’s fooled lots of people.
