Amid growing pressure for stores to drop the first daughter’s brand, it is no longer being sold on Belk, Jet, and ShopStyle.

Belk, a department store popular in the South, also told BuzzFeed News the brand’s disappearance was based on performance.

...we can assume the tRump* and his family derive a great deal of their incomes from the prostitution (licensing) of their name, which the tRump* is dragging through the mud, whether he admits it or not.

Memo to Mamilia: Save your time, save your money. Your *brand* was toxic long before it ever got out of bed.

Memo to Ivanka: This is only the beginning. You father's "friends" may have foisted his Presidency upon us, but they can't make us buy your stuff.

Memo to Jared: You are among Philistines. Steve Bannon is a rabid and virulent anti-Semitic hater, no matter how much he smiles to your face and pats you on the back. You are his useful Jewish idiot. If there were an American Auschwitz, and you were not the boss' son-in-law, you'd be on the next railcar.

not whining about some company making a business decision that affects your daughter.

Hint: Nordstrom is not the old Soviet G.U.M. retail store. It's not a government operation. You don't get to tell them what to do.

It makes you look like a vindictive person who thinks he and his family are more important than proper governance. Do stop doing that, won't you. Pay attention and don't do stupid things, please.

There's a good lad...

base is, and it's probably not in the rural flyovers. They did the right thing, and it looks like others are following. This looks like the way to get to Trump. Boycotts, good old-fashioned boycotts.

If he feels assured that there is solid enough voter suppression in place that the people who oppose him do not matter. That's what his "investigation" into voter fraud is about. He's going to try to rig the game even more.

Soon to be profiting of the military. Currently profiting by siphoning tax dollars to Trump Plaza and Mar-a-Lago.

This is fucked up.
