Trump lives rent free in their heads.

Fair question... and since you're so interested in fair minded and honesty, can you go on record with the things Trump and/or his people & family do that are wrong?

I'm not particularly fond of the way he calls people names. Otherwise I don't have much of a problem with him.

Yes anymore this is news for those whose TDS is so out of control
They have nothing better to do but be obsessed.

This isnte problem with TDS.
It makes swear off any logical thinking for
Emotion outbursts of nothing.

The more it grows the more irrational the person becomes till you get threads like this and half the other
Nonsense that gets posted.
 
Since all the hits, slurs didn't effect Melania who continues to have a good standing in the polls I guess the next step was to go after the President's daughter.

I think it is time for several around here to get a life. Just another tactic that shows the absolute desperation of some.

You are really really looking desperate. Grab your teddy, and your blankie and crawl up in a corner and weep, because that is all you have left.

They're already testing the waters when it comes to attacking Barron now. Nothing is sacred with these demagogues.

Exposing repeated & blatant corruption by the First Family? “international definition of corruption."

Even though, its blatantly obvious that this isn't corruption and these people were just talking out of their asses to spite the first family.

I think we are witnessing a sick, degraded form of mob mentality.

...quick, someone mix liberal & lemming-ism into a singular word.

This line of attacking against Ivanka is moronic.

Agreed, I have no problem with legitimate issues brought against the Trump family. But this problem here is simply them reaching for something "anything" to be upset about. No matter how obtuse or dishonest they might present themselves as.
 
Rogue Valley said:
I myself don't think so. Ivanka is a multi-millionaire who can easily afford designer clothes and accessories.

In accepting her government appointment in January, Ivanka promised not to have anything to do with her designer companies and brands to avoid any conflict of interest.

The Trump WH even chastised KellyAnne Conway for publicly pushing Ivanka's brands....

White House rebukes Kellyanne Conway for promoting Ivanka Trump products

Yet both Donald and Ivanka push their business brands in public constantly. They can't have it both ways, claiming to embrace certain ethical practices while purposefully violating those very practices everyday.
Click to expand...

Yet that here is still not the case, Ivanka is simply wearing her fashion line.
Were she doing her best to pitch the clothing line every time you see her on the screen, then yes there would be an issue. Donald on the other hand is a whole other issue separated from Ivanka and not actually relevant here.

While Conway on her own has made no such agreement as well and she is just being brought up because she opened her mouth.

But by this definition, are we to assume that Obama was corrupt as well?

If they actually existed, then no.

But Obama got his pass, so why can't she?

Refresh my memory. When did Obama go on national television or Twitter and make comments about a retail chain that was breaking ties with his family member's product? When did his senior adviser go on national television and advise the viewers to buy products from an Obama family member's product line while standing before the seal of the White House?

Most liberals are obsessed with Ivanka Trump and spend most of their time and energy trying to find out what she's wearing. I wouldn't be surprised of Mueller's team has surveillance on her just to spread news about her wardrobe to gossip columns.

Is that how liberals spend most of their time and energy these days? Thanks for letting us know. Most of us assumed they spent most of their time and energy figuring out ways to stop the President and the Republicans from advancing their agendas, not wondering what Ivanka Trump is wearing.

When was the last time liberals advanced their agenda? They've lost over 1000 federal and state and federal seats in politics. They're gossip queen party and shift their priorities to appeal to tweenie communists and unemployed 30's somethings who live in their parent's basement trying to "find themselves".

Thanks for letting us know that liberals spend most of their time worrying about what Ivanka Trump wears. Looks like they aren't the party of no after all.

Obama would repeatedly quote and push his own books. We can all admit however, that Conway committed a pretty big faux pas in the realm of politics.

As long as Trump does not push such information while he is on the podium, then there should be no issue with him just running his mouth on twitter.

Can you post some links to Obama, while he was President, telling people to go out and buy his books? I don't remember him doing that in his official communications platforms.

Sorry, but according to Trump's last Press Secretary (aka the man who spoke for the President, Sean Spicer), Trump's Tweets "should be taken as official statements". You can't have it both ways.

When did Democrats go from the party of the working class to a party that gives even half a damn about something this petty?

And for the most part, the only ones that "pushed" Obama's books was Fox News.
 
JacksinPA said:
So you support her multiple conflicts of interest?
Click to expand...

As far as the OP, yes. Complaining about her wearing her own brand of clothes is about as stupid and petty as it gets. As far as any other conflicts that would be a case by case basis to see if it is simply TDS or actual conflicts.

That's right, these days they're more of a Party of Woe.

And, increasingly, the party of "So...?"

They'd be helping themselves by looking ahead and rebuilding...if they want Trump out in 2020, I mean.
