I can't believe what this incompetent, unqualified, arrogant, dumber-than-dirt family has gotten away with so far, and the republican party has done nothing but enable them.

It's such a joke, I can barely get my mind around it. They are so out of their league. And the master idiot himself thinks Ivanka would be an unbeatable presidential candidate. God help us all.

hold a pen in his hand and sign their tax cuts, appoint assholes to the bench, and cut as many regulations that cost money for corporations. The GOP is only interested in the relentless acquisition of money by any means.

Even if the Senate sucks him off again, that won't change OR wipe away the Mark of Impeachment. All we need is a House vote, and we have the numbers in the House NOW! Plus one "R" - Justin Amash.

They had diamond-in-the-rough intelligence, wit and charm. They were not mean or cruel, either. Edith Bunker was a similar character.

Trump views these trips as a method of payback for his cabinet being such suck-ups and covering up for his criminal ass. He's done this several times, to different parts of the world, all on the taxpayers' dime. They had to have a special armored bus follow his motorcade around London to haul all of his relatives and cabinet members around. Really. I think he made them all promise not to take up any of his precious camera time, though. Every time I saw Huckleberry Sanders she was hiding from the cameras when they panned in her direction. It was quite comical.

I love the amateur fashion critics openly asking why she's wearing a sanitary napkin on her head! (From the angle of this photo it looks like a flattened white banana - OR a queen-size maxi pad to me. Maybe that's how she gets a feeling like she's royalty?)

‘Why does Ivanka have a maxi pad stuck to her head?’ and other hilarious quips about the Trumps’ UK visit

And she's supposed to be the fashionista of the family. SHEESH. I've seen her wear more trainwrecks than Phyllis Diller. And Phyllis Diller always deliberately costumed herself as wildly ridiculous and tacky for her standup act. Only thing Ivanka's missing is a feather boa.

While understanding the humorous intent, the truth is that people who live in trailors are not automatically "less than," and the physical appearance, including their chosen wardrobe and hairstyles, of this particular family of grifters is not real good at all.

They have it in their heads that she is going to be the first female president. I am not kidding about this. I don't personally know many trumpers, but the two women that I have a passing acquaintance with have both said to me, independently of one another, that "she is going to be the next President because she is so sharp." I kid you knot. Right from the start of his stolen election, I could see that he was setting her up for this.

dictatorial dynastic family here. As crazy as that may sound to the rest of us, his base would probably would find that acceptable. Impossible to understand a value that is prepared to sell out their country.
