1. How special they are!

Privileged is as privilege does.

[kentuck]

2. And Donald just got 38 trademarks approved in China!

He can even offer massages and escort services at his new hotels that will soon be built in China.

[madokie]

4. Is a certain one

of the grifters going to head the escort services? Inquiring minds want to know

[vlyons]

5. I think that would be Melania

n/t

[George II]

15. The White House Madam?

[NewRedDawn]

7. God knows

she has had plenty of experience.

[madokie]

9. Possibly employed as of now

maybe I shouldn't say that but what the hell. dRumpF is fucking us right and left so all retorts are on the table

[Mr. Evil]

13. She must be the actual 'Trump card.'

Maybe dolt45 uses her as the icing on the cake to seal the deal. Men in that world are pigs and many would probably agree to anything to have a tumble with her.

[vlyons]

28. She's just arm candy

Another way to show how rich and powerful and manly he is. He can attract a beautiful woman, who is probably a gold digger from the Got-Go.

[lunatica]

41. Surely it's his heroic demeanor and his breathtakingly sexy looks!

[pablo_marmol]

62. I wish I had his breathtakingly sexy looks.

But lo --- I'm just a caveman.

[dalton99a]

17. Indeed.

[littlemissmartypants]

30. Why stop at simple escort services when you can

Trade human capital? I'm guessing there are plans for human trafficking in their protocols. Gotta have a captive audience, may as well put them to work. With such high ethical standards that plan's execution would assure them hitting their personal best. I can see Barron now, holding the whip, sipping sweet tea while dressed like Colonel Sanders.

We have no idea the schemes this cartel has coming down the pike. What we do know is that none of them are legit and no true democratic public service is involved in the execution of their plans.

The pussy grabbers are here. They can't help themselves. "Once you touch one part, you own it all," they say to themselves.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

40. Great minds think alike ...

See my reply below.

Imagine the US government linked to Chinese human trafficking. Wow.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

39. Escort Services deal in human trafficking ...

...I wonder if there's anything dirty there.

[littlemissmartypants]

42. .

[madokie]

3. Thats all Grifters know

their day is coming

[Barack_America]

6. Careful with "hot brands".

They leave a mark.

[Blanks]

27. The hotter the brand...

The uglier the scar.

[Cha]

8. Oh yeah the big stupid mouth

[Ligyron]

10. How the hell did this happen?

6 months ago all we heard was that Trump's brand was going down the toilet. People living on Trump properties wanted his name the hell off them and it was actually being removed on some with the new projects to proceed under another name, Scion. Yup, Ivanka was finished too, nobody wanted her cheap Chinese made garbage. I read it in the papers and right here.

6 months ago all we heard was "Oh, Hills has this in the bag". The "reputable" polls all had her winning. The big question was just how many Senate seats we'd regain and lets get excited over the distinct possibility that some gains even look likely in the House. I saw it on teevee.

A year ago it looked like a progressive agenda was just going to keep getting better and better with a soon-to-be-appointed Supreme Court Justice sure to be on our side for decades. The RW legal strategy before the court was dead along with Scalia.

Now I wake up every morning with a sick feeling in my stomach as soon as I turn on the news or come here. And there doesn't seem to be a lot we can do to stop this madness short term. Then, after I slap myself awake with some coffee, I realize we have a lot of work to do and the only thing to do is soldier on, practice Street Epistemology on the brain-washed masses and register new voters.

I'm fairly confident long-term that we'll turn this thing around and that the demographics will eventually kick in and bury those Fascists. I just doubt that at my age I'll be around to see it.

[7962]

25. And Ivanka's sales are up triple digits too. Go figure.

So much for the boycott

[Hekate]

54. What boycott? Those of us refusing to buy her trash weren't buying it in the first place.

[7962]

55. This boycott, among others:

http://www.businessinsider.com/ivanka-trump-related-businesses-boycotted-2016-12

It was big news at the time

[dhol82]

56. Really?

Wow!
Must not have been really that great to begin with if it exploded 300% with only trump supporters flocking to the brand.

[7962]

59. Research provides the answers

I'm just pointing out a similar story to the OP

[Orsino]

11. If a Trump says the brand is hotter than ever, that means it's not. n/t

[mopinko]

12. we have winner. ding, ding, ding.

apparently they havent explained the emoluments clause to the little ones yet.

[Alice11111]

64. WTF does it matter? The Repubs are flaunting it in our faces

and laughing it up. The only thing they know or care about the Constitution is a bastardized version of the Second Amendment.
I got your sarcasm. Still, No one cares about the Constitution, other than to use it as an instrument of repression. Hopefully, some of the courts can survive long enough to live through this.

[mopinko]

14. someone needs to explain to the darling little one

about emoluments.

[DK504]

18. Why haven't they?

Seriously, why haven't they? And why aren't we pushing this everyday?

[Fast Walker 52]

23. Impeach the bastard already!

Uggh!

[logosoco]

16. IF that is even true. I would not believe it just because he says so.

And I am thinking that that star alignment is going to shift and that the Trump brand name is going to be Mud soon.

[Achilleaze]

19. Hot-Brand Republicans. Disgusting.

sleazeball republican grifters exploiting the Office of President to fatten their already fat asses.

[smirkymonkey]

20. God he is an ugly bastard.

Almost as disgusting as his father.

How can these sleazy, stupid, corrupt motherfu**ers be getting away with this? It infuriates me!! I want to see their empire crumble. I want to see them suffer and shamed. I want to see them shunned by everyone. I want to see Donald as a broken old man, alone and ignored in a broken down, crumbling ruin of one of his vulgar residences.

I hate them so very much.

[coco22]

33. Right! Lmao!

I hate them too. The media refused to report about these greedy mfkers now they have a runaway train.

[llmart]

45. Took the words right out of my mouth...

ugly inside and out like his father. Well, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

[jazzcat23]

49. Oh Yeah!

I'm right there with you smirky! I'm more horrified that not one congress creep will stand up against any of this shit.

[Nay]

65. Honestly, you'd think someone with this amt of $$ could at least afford shampoo.

That greasy hair, Jesus. It's simply disgusting.

[3catwoman3]

34. Definitely takes after daddy.

Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

[niyad]

38. backpfeifengesicht

[Hekate]

53. Every single one of them

Though in Ivanka's case I'd settle for a sharp slap across the face by an employee with no maternity leave.

[niyad]

68. I like your thinking!!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. It's like we elected the Clampetts if the Clampetts were grifters.

The tRump family has zero class.

[Mc Mike]

35. Granny Clampett would never countenance these derelicts.

Even Jethro wasn't dumb enough to fall for team drumpf's moves.

[Fast Walker 52]

22. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sunlei]

24. The IRS audit office will be happy to know money flows in again.

[Raster]

26. "The stars have all aligned..." YOU ENTITLED, STUPID FUCK...

...Before factors far beyond your control intervened Uday, the tRump* name and brands were taking a nice, slow turn around the toilet bowl... and all deities willing, the roaring sound you'll hear won't be crowds cheering, but the sound of you and your grifter family hitting the sewers at breakneck speed.

[iluvtennis]

31. +1000nt

[Javaman]

29. all born on home plate, thinking they hit a grandslam. nt

[gordianot]

32. As much as I despise Trump and the Trump brand.

Golf seems to be the Trump vehicle for dismantling the American government.

[Mc Mike]

36. Spoken with the insouciance that is typical of true repug emoluments clause-violating

high-crimes felons.

Cheney and li'l bush would be so proud.

[Vinca]

37. Well, Putin wasn't a billionaire until he was installed as the leader of Russia.

Trump knows he's going to milk the treasury for ever dime he can get and the bonus is all the company business getting done based on dealing with the POTUS. It's a crime family.

[Angry Dragon]

43. Trump ....... your name is GREED

[world wide wally]

44. How do you NOT get sick of this shit, let alone defend it?

[coco22]

46. Kick..

[zentrum]

47. Wow.

See? The rich really are different than you or me---more corrupt.

[Brother Buzz]

48. Radioactive waste is hot, too

I'm just saying.

[JudyM]

50. We can all agree they certainly deserve a hot brand.

at a minimum.

[Maru Kitteh]

58. Yeah, but it should look like

[font size = 5]666[/font]

Right on the 'ol forehead.

[JudyM]

60. Right!

[Hekate]

51. It's all about them & they see nothing wrong with that.

The next time someone says that schools and government need to be run like a business, can somebody please clock them?

[gademocrat7]

52. They are all greedy thieves.

[FakeNoose]

57. Just keep talking, little creepy Eric

Give us all the ammunition we need to finally put your Dad in jail.
Or at the very least, get him out of office.

[Solly Mack]

61. That family is disgusting.

He's essentially bragging about bribes. Because anyone that says the sons don't talk business with their father is a liar. And anyone who says that people aren't hoping to gain some influence or favor by doing business with the Trump Organization is a liar.

Pay to play all the way.

[TheFrenchRazor]

63. if this sh*t isn't illegal, it should be. we are becoming a mafia nation. nt

[calimary]

66. I knew it. From the moment he threw his stupid "MAGA" hat into the ring,

what I suspected was - all he wants is to slap the presidential seal on his golf courses and hotels and sell merch for premium prices. All he wants to do use that title to make more money - specifically to line his own pockets.

Sure beats having to hit up the Russians again for more shadowy loans he can no longer get from legitimate American banks. Legitimate American banks stopped lending to him because he's had so many bankruptcies that he's considered a bad risk.

[coco22]

67. I hate the whole family..

I hope they are all prosecuted!
