Good thing that we stopped HRC w/her "liberal agenda" and dirty emails.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s daughter and son-in-law, brought in at least $82 million in outside income while serving as senior White House advisers during 2017, according to financial disclosure forms released Monday.

Both Kushner and Trump have given up daily oversight of their companies as they work as unpaid senior advisers to the president.

But while Kushner divested some holdings, he and his wife have maintained large stakes in businesses with domestic and foreign ties. Kushner’s family real estate company has properties around the country, including thousands of apartment units in states including New Jersey and Maryland. Trump’s eponymous clothing and accessories line is produced exclusively in foreign factories in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and China.

Rumor only but Ivanka's clothing and accessory lines are not hit by the new tariffs.

Grifters.

Legal question

Will Paul Manafort be able to keep his hair piece in prison?

BTW Manafort spent $1,000,000 on clothes in a few years so I don't think
Manafort will be very happy in prison garb.


BTW "LOCK 'EM UP."

Please tell me what exactly did we get out of "the deal" w/N Korea and is it true ....

.... that Trump didn't tell the US military or S. Korea about "the deal" before
he went ahead w/it?

Because this never gets old ... epic troll

https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1005245390503936000

After being kicked out of Germany Trump's grandfather ran a brothel
in the Klondike in N.W. Canada during the gold rush and Justin Trudeau
gave Trump a framed picture of the whore house in front of the press.

It took Trump 24 hours to realize he had been trolled by Trudeau in front
of the whole world and then Trump started w/his "he is weak" tweets
about P.M. Justin Trudeau.

How the hell do you get a Canadian mad at you?

Old Canadian joke. What does a Canadian do if he bumps into
a sofa? He apologizes. I have been to Canada a # of times and
outside of people from Nebraska that are some of the nicest people
I have ever met.

Jesus, this is a nightmare.

BTW we have a trade SURPLUS w/Canada and the auto industry has
been working cross border w/Canada for over 80 years.

Georgia Congressman Tweets D-Day Tribute Featuring Nazi Troops

Georgia Congressman Tweets D-Day Tribute Featuring Nazi Troops

A Georgia Congressman tweeted and deleted a D-Day blunder.

Rep. Drew Ferguson, who is running for reelection in Georgia’s Third District, marked the 74th anniversary of the allied invasion of Normandy with an image of soldiers for Nazi Germany and a tank with the Iron Cross, a symbol of the German military.

The tweet also featured a quote from Harry Truman, who was not yet president on June 6, 1944.

“The heroism of our own troops.. Was matched by that of the armed forces of the nations that fought by our side.. They absorbed the blows.. And they shared to the full in the ultimate destruction of our enemy,” reads the Truman quote – which is engraved at the National World War Two Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Thanks to Earl G for posting this story.
