A Conway Getaway
The backlash to her Ivanka ad must have astonished her,
And now the Ethics Office says Trump should admonish her.
This Kellyanne Conway antic
Goes far beyond ethics,
But don’t hold your breath waiting for Trump to punish her.
Year: 2017
Flynn’s Veep Sin
When you call up the Rooskies to negotiate sanctions,
You can be pretty sure several spooks are a-listenin’.
But when Mike Flynn briefed Mike Pence,
He lied to him, and hence
Lost his job over the euphemism, “incomplete information.”
What Did the So-Called President Know – And When Did He Know It?
In his resignation letter released last night, National Security Adviser Michael Flynn said he was quitting his post because he had “inadvertently” lied to Mike Pence about whether he’d discussed Pres.Obama’s sanctions against Russia in a phone call with the Russian ambassador in a phone call in December.
From the administration that gave us “alternate facts,” now we have inadvertent lies.
But there’s much more to this story — and what lies beneath what is publicly known now could have devastating consequences for Donald Trump:
White House Aide: Donald’s Powers ‘Will Not Be Questioned’
On “Face the Nation” on Sunday, White House aide Stephen Miller gave America a taste of things to come:
The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.
Watch the reaction from the cast of “Morning Joe” above.
Sanders: Trump Is ‘Delusional’
We have a president who is delusional in many respects, a pathological liar.
— Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), quoted by the Washington Post, adding that “it is very harsh, but I think that’s the truth.”
More Iowans Disagree with Trump Travel Ban
51%
A new Des Moines Register poll finds that 51% of Iowans disagree with President Trump’s executive order pausing refugee resettlement and barring travel to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Nordstrom: Ivanka Sales in the Tank-a
32%
“Sales of Ivanka Trump’s fashion line tumbled 32% at Nordstrom last fiscal year, with the declines deepening in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election,” according to internal Nordstrom data reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. “Amid calls to boycott the brand, Ivanka Trump footwear and apparel sales fell more than 70% in the second, third and fourth weeks of October compared with a year ago, the Nordstrom data show. The declines have moderated somewhat since then, averaging 26% year-over-year in January.”
The Tax Plan Cometh
The hit on the rich will be nominal,
The effects on the lower brackets, abominable.
With a guy from Goldman Sachs
Rejiggering the income tax,
It’s no wonder Trump says it’ll be “phenomenal.”
