Ivanka: Find Something New to millions of unemployed!

In finding something new, DO NOT turn to be a HATCH Act Violator from being a Nepotism Violator - Duhhh!

Find something else…
RESIGN and LEAVE the governing to NON-NEPOTISTS!

Addendum:

Crooked Orange Father and Tone-Deaf Daughter H-A-W-K-I-N-G their :black_heart::black_heart::black_heart: Goya!

Ethics Violators!

Looks like a very bad upperclass imitation of the cover of “The Who Sell Out”

Hey Goya, there’s a precedent for Ivanka’s marketing appeal…

Well to be fair, this will probably hurt Goya in the Latino community.

“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said.

Sounds familiar.

My wife just saw the picture in one of the Spanish language morning shows that are really popular with the mostly apolitical Hispanic homemakers. And she was pretty upset, Goya has lost her forever. Probably thousands more like her.

Robert Unanue should call the Carlyle Group and ask them if they are still interested in buying Goya.

Two observations:

Ivanka’s tweet will only hurt sales, as “whitey” won’t run out to buy Goya products because of this and Latinos will be turned off.

Where is Walter Shaub when we need him?

I am sorry but this article’s breathless claims about possible ethics violations has me laughing out loud. I can’t get “Ethics? We don’t need no stinking Ethics” out of my head.

This article is like an article about Jeffrey Dahmer jaywalking on the way to his latest “dinner.” Of course, Ivanka is selling Goya Products while a White House official. That is who she is and what she does. The rules don’t apply to her.

I know it’s been said before, but the look of Ivanka and Jared are really the stuff of nightmares.

One more observation:

Ivanka is holding that can of beans like her dad holds a bible.

The picture is already on the Spanish Language morning talk shows, complete with heaps of disparaging commentary, those homemakers that had not heard of the Unanue stunt, know all about it now.

That’s nice. Too bad nothing will be done about it.

They’ll have an opportunity to try something different after January, though, and that should gladden some hearts.
