Hucksters First Lady Melania Trump seems to have unintentionally tipped her hand on how she plans on using her tenure as First Lady – namely, to cash in. Salon.com, February 7, 2017, reporting on the $150 million lawsuit she filed against a British newspaper for reporting and retracting allegations about canoodling in Slovenia before her marriage, which reports, she says, caused her to lose a “unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to make $150 million selling branded “apparel, accessories, shoes, jewellery, cosmetics, hair care, skin care, and fragrance” products © 2017 Kwiple.com
Hucksters say Go buy Ivanka's stuff, is what I would tell you. I hate shopping but I'm going to get some myself today. … It's a wonderful line. I'm going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online.

Hucksters say My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

Sleepers at the wheel say This is not a Muslim ban. Supporters of Trump's executive order that “temporarily” bans refugees and travelers from seven majority Muslim countries from entering the United States, while allowing entry of Christians from there and not applying to majority Muslim countries from which perpetrators of terrorist acts in the U.S. have come, or to majority Muslim countries where Trump does business, such as Egypt, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates © 2017 Kwiple.com
Surely you jest In a conflict of incest, Trump gives spawn Ivanka an office in the White House, a top-level security clearance and government communication devices to pursue her unpaid oathless role as Trump brand ambassador. Even Nixon didn't do that for his pet, Checkers. © 2017 Kwiple.com
 
Trumpists say I have total confidence in Justice Thomas's impartiality in every aspect of the work of the Court. Each of the nine judges should feel free to make every single judicial decision they make with total independence and complete freedom, what cases they hear, how they hear them, how they rule,  whether and when they recuse themselves, and whether and when they retire. Mitch McConnell, opposing any ethics standards for Supreme Court justices, including ones preventing them from ruling in cases where they have conflicts of interest, like Thomas, who voted to prevent evidence of his wife's attempts to overturn the 2020 election to be turned over to Congress © 2022 Kwiple.com
