From impeachment. I bet the other choices told him he would have to liquidate and he can't because he's broke and properties won't bring in what's owed. Maybe they can share a cell.

a blind trust that would manage it all without his input and whatever is in the trust after his term is over then becomes his.

Being his counselor sounds like she should spend the time advising him, not talking on TV.

I mute the television every time Conway appears. Nothing she says has any relationship to the truth. With Trump's need to have one of his family or Conway with him in all meetings, I'm wondering if it's to hide the early stages of Alzheimers. After all, Reagan was able to keep his Alzheimers secret for most of his second four years.

The company that owned Consolidated Freightways, a unionized trucking company (and the original owner of the Freightliner truck manufacturing company) decided they wanted to bust the Teamsters Union. So, they created a nonunion carrier named Con-Way, transferred as much of CF's work to Con-Way that they possibly could, and finally shut down CF...on Labor Day 2002.

from Breitbart into the white house, I just wonder if they are going to change that name into another name!!!!

And just think his economic adviser is the "guy" (Carl Icahn) that took the TWA pension fund to buy TWA and then screwed the employees, just like how the serial predator stiffed mom and pops, lawyers, casino's, state taxes, federal taxes, you name it


See how they do this, and why isn't it being reported as such, two peas in a pod

in Trump world, that means "look the part". Scraggly bleached hair and a lower jaw you could sit on......interesting take on what is considered good looking.

I'm still asking if she loves her children. DonnyPutin wants nukes and she's "a mom" with four kids including twins. How sweet. Sigh. I knew her big priority is repealing abortion. So have them kids before we get in the bunker baby! (how big is their bunker is another question I have-I guess she's got priority boarding now)

I dislike Conway but I have to give the devil her due.

She did her job as campaign manager well.
