And the cherry on top of this lovely sundae is that her brand has tanked utterly.
The move could open Trump up to legal action.
Micturition Man: Meh. What’s one more lawsuit?
No this is real and this could start adding up to bigger real things.
This is a true abuse of power - not a conflict.
So who will hold him accountable?
GOP: Hello, hello, anybody home?
This was a clear violation of the law by Trump’s chief Propagandist Kellyanne Conway. To paraphrase from Mitch regarding KellyAnne - She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless she persisted in violating the law. And McConnell and Ryan remained mute.
Oak trees from tiny acorns grow.
Sometimes those acorns have to pass through the intestines of a squirrel or a bird.
But in time, trees can spring up. They did for Nixon.
My money was on Spicer or Conway first out the door, but hell Little DiJiTs is trying to do himself in, big league. Waiting to see him distract his way out of this one. I’ll be a little nostalgic if he goes because what comes next ain’t gonna be any prettier.
I have the feeling that the lug nuts on the wheels of the Klown Kar are starting to work their way loose.
A few more bumps and the wobble will get more noticeable.
And Drumpfie is aiming the Klown Kar at every single damned pothole. Bless his pointy little head.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer tyrant.
Ummm…how about that hotel a few blocks from the White House that he’s not allowed to have according to the terms of the agreement?
The thing is that while Trump, Cruella DeVille and the Grinch Chaffetz are revolving in the mud of the silliness of the Ivanka line, she has already moved on and she is already where it matters and where she can make tons of untraceble money, the woman is greedy, hypocritical and likes to play “mosquita muerta”, but she is not stupid.

“This is what a kleptocracy looks like.”
“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what your country can do for The Trump Organization LLC.”
Trump: If this goes to court, and even if I lose this ridiculous case, govt will pay my fine. So its govt paying itself. Does it really matter?
I know she’s not.
I really figured she would move on because she could see what was happening before it got to this point and probably tried to talk to him and didn’t get anywhere.
She and her disgusting capo of a husband seem to me somewhat at a loss at trying to get past President Bannon to get any influence over PeePee.

Oh HORSEPUCKY. They are doing these things PRECISELY because you don’t expect them to…and while you are aghast at their lack of ETHICS they are doing something even MORE egregious. Personally, I don’t think they were hawking Ivanka’s clothes. I believe they were trying to punish Nordstrom for having the balls to call them out on their inane immigration policy.
And Ugg note Donnie need both his teenie hands to grip one lug nut. Har har har.
Kind of small beer. When the oligarchs came in in Russia they took over everything that wasn’t nailed down. Given that the US controls about a third of planetary wealth, and the kleptocrats now have the monopoly on violence, the sky’s the limit. Probably some stirring up things in the Middle East like Iran to keep the public’s eye off the domestic bulldozing activity. In return, Trump or his successor will seek some sort of fealty from the ascendent oligarchs. For example, the Kochs, certainly first-tier kleptocrats and king-makers in the GOP, could like Boris Berezovsky, end up on the outs and even forced into exile. Trump is not Putin, although he has some mafia ties. This might encourage a frightened oligarch to try and take Trump out. Whatever we’ve been watching the past three weeks, it sure isn’t like anything we’ve seen in the past 239 years in the US, but sure looks a lot like Russia in the 1990s after the collapse of the USSR.
Perhaps Repukes will remember Clinton was sued while in office. It set a great precedent for the orange man. The law of unintended consequences.
