Trump family whining is not newsworthy.
January 24, 2020 Idiocracy, Trump Administration
The New York Times reports:
Ivanka Trump, a White House adviser, was presented at this conference of global elites as a principal second only to her father, even as she traveled as part of a delegation that included all of the presidents most important economic advisers.
She said that she would continue to be focused on the areas where Ive helped the president move the ball. I gave up my life to move to Washington to try to help Americans, and Im proud of what weve been able to accomplish.
Ms. Trump has become a fixture at major international gatherings since she raised hackles at her first one in 2017, when she briefly took her fathers chair at a Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

billion $ note on the 666 property but that money really came from Saudi Arabia and with
that money the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia bought Jared. After which Jared gave up
Khashoggi to the Crown Prince by passing along highly classified intel and Presidential
Dailey Briefings. And after the killing of Khashoggi and Tump, Pompeo, and Jared helped
to cover up the murder and then Trurkey's Erdogan had the goods on Trump and company
so then Trump gave up are allies the Kurds when Erdogan asked him to.

(70,598 posts)This is so big and with so many moving parts that I can't get my mind around all of it.
I think only Vlad Putin, the Russian FSB, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Israeli intel,
and maybe Trump's consigliere, Bill Barr understand all of it.
The installation of Trump into the White House was part of the biggest crime in our history
and Trump is the biggest crook in our history.
BTW Please call your senators today and beg them to support the rule of law. Especially
the Republicans ones. Hell, Trump threatened to kill and put republican senator's heads
on pikes if they don't support him.

(61,700 posts)I had lost confidence in trump on national security (outranks economy) and that I wanted "Vice President Mike Pence, a very principled, ( ) moral, ( ), and Christian man to assume the presidency." "I don't feel safe" was my message, and I pumped up Pence to them.
BTW, I absolutely detest MP, but he can't turn into a dictator. It isn't in his nature. It is in trump's.

(70,598 posts)It is all about getting enough pressure on the GOP senators but so many of them have taken
Russian/NRA money and or know that the elections have been very dirty they see their only play
as being to stick w/Trump.
From the Rude Pundit.
"And, frankly, Republicans are more obsessed with 2016 now than Democrats are because they know, they fucking know, that Trump's victory is illegitimate and they have to do everything in their power to not let that fact become viral."

(118,378 posts)of his wifes name. When The New York Times profiled the newly-elected Governor Clinton, it noted that he 'is married to an ardent feminist, Hillary Rodham, who will certainly be the first First Lady of Arkansas to keep her maiden name.' The Arkansas Democrat reported, 'Despite the fact that she keeps her maiden name, the wife of Arkansass new governor, Bill Clinton, claims shes really an old-fashioned girl' ... Clinton himself later told The New Yorkers Connie Bruck, 'Hillary told me she was nine years old when she decided she would keep her own name when she got married. It had nothing to do with the feminist movement or anything. She said, "I like my name. I was interested in my family. I didnt want to give it up."' Bill Clinton lost reelection in 1980, but decided to run to reclaim his seat two years later. Thats when Hillary Rodham decided it was time to take on Bills name, to assist the effort.

Blessed be the wealthy who lord above me, may they allow me to eat their excrement and drink their bile, for their exudes are holy scripture and to believe in them is to live happily forevermore.

(16,903 posts)YOU flew to Ivory Coast and other exotic places, leaving little children home with the nannies.
YOU flew to Paris last week with your mannikin husband, to SHOP.
YOU make the choice to be constantly in the care of BOTOX doctors, hairdressers, fashion designers.
YOU have enriched yourself beyond your wildest dreams by receiving patents from China which ordinarily take 19 months for clearance, but you got in 90 days or less.
YOU have patents to sell your everything from TV sets to baby cribs, baby furniture, DIAPERS, clothing etc.
YOU are a pariah..
