    Basically, this is why at the last minute Trump rescinded his restriction on post-administration lobbying: so he can get some himself.

    Oh look, another account Twitter has to block.

    The Trump Supporters around here who've created 154082 alt accounts really do take after their idol.

    Almost certainly the same as holding up a piece of cardboard with "WILL RALLY FOR MONEY" written in Sharpie.

    Kellyanne Conway Accused of Posting Topless Photo of Her 16-Year-Old Daughter on Twitter

    Kellyanne Conway, ex-counselor to disgraced former President Trump, allegedly posted a topless picture of her daughter Claudia, 16, on Twitter on Monday.
    Reached for comment, a Twitter rep told Variety the company’s teams are investigating the incident. Kellyanne Conway could not be reached for comment.
    According to screen captures posted by users on social media, Kellyanne Conway’s account (@KellyannePolls) shared an image of her topless teenage daughter using Twitter’s recently launched Fleets feature, which deletes posts after a 24-hour period (similar to Instagram and Snapchat’s stories). The Fleet was removed but not before Twitter users documented it.

    Christ. There was a story today regarding an interview on Fox News about how reporters are purposely not giving Biden tough questions (unlike Trump, of course).

    Look, people, Trump never got actual "tough" questions but to a dumbass like Trump who complains about "tough questions" and saying he doesn't get questions like "What is your favorite milkshake" to which he cannot formulate a response, then every question is a fucking tough question.

    Doesn’t for fox still pretend to be news? Don’t they have reporters in the room who could ask those “tough questions?”

    I think the person they were talking to from like fourth watch or something feels he's the only one asking tough questions. Biden could just do what Trump did and ignore reporters he doesn't like.

    I’m no expert in law, but I’m fairly certain his use of the seal is in violation of this https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/713

    It specifically says any likeness, so even if they cropped out the text around it, it still looks like the seal. And he’s made the document look as if it is an official government use of the seal. Pretty sure he’s going to get into trouble for it, or at least told not to use it.

    Trump also started out having an adversarial relationship with the press. When all his press conferences involve attacking or trying to silence journalists is there any surprise that they'd push back?

    Not that they were especially hard on him, anyway. He was for the most part treated with kid gloves and given the benefit of the doubt way more than he deserved. For the most part he wound up communicating via Twitter, since he could do that without anyone questioning him.

    I think you guys are way overthinking this. I mean, as a former President, I'm sure he's entitled to continue using the seal.

    The symbol appears on the website for the Office of Barack & Michelle Obama.

    The symbol appears on the website for the Office of George W. Bush.

    The symbol doesn't appear on the website for the Clinton Foundation, but it does appear on William Jefferson Clinton's post-Presidency letterhead.

    Frankly, all ex-Presidents engage in some level of grift. Usually it's quite harmless, only taking money from the rich. Yes, Trump is likely going to squeeze that teat for every last drop. But let's engage in a little bit of objectivity here.

    There are far, far, far worse crimes that Trump has to answer for and we shouldn't lose sight of those with this distraction.

    Pretty much this. The only odd thing about this is the official name which is...pretty fuckin pathetic. But hey, I guess he had to use some of those hundreds of millions he grifted from Republican donors to "fight the steal" to give jobs to a bunch of the ex-WH staffers who are sufficiently loyal and were unable to find jobs anywhere else.

    @Breccia - another accomplishment to add to the list

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/mark...rs/ar-BB1d4QoE

    U.S. Suffers Sharpest Rise in Poverty Rate in More Than 50 Years

    Economists Bruce Meyer, from the University of Chicago, and James Sullivan of the University of Notre Dame found that the poverty rate increased by 2.4 percentage points during the latter half of 2020 as the U.S. continued to suffer the economic impacts from Covid-19.

    That percentage-point rise is nearly double the largest annual increase in poverty since the 1960s. This means an additional 8 million people nationwide are now considered poor. Moreover, the poverty rate for Black Americans is estimated to have jumped by 5.4 percentage points, or by 2.4 million individuals.
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
