Professional liar Kellyanne Conway stepped in it this week when she went on Fox & Friends to encourage Americans to buy Ivanka Trump’s crappy clothes made by poor factory workers in third world countries after Nordstrom announced it would no longer be carrying the First Daughter’s products.
“It’s a wonderful line,” Conway touted. “I own some of it. I fully–I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody! You can find it online!”

On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz called Conway’s actions “unacceptable” and said he was referring her for an ethics investigation to see whether she broke the law by violating a federal regulation that bars government employees from using their public office to endorse products. (Spoiler alert: She did!)
How about we take this to the next level?

In the mean time, memers have been busy making light of yet another truly ridiculous situation from inside the White House.

..& still, Trump & the Conservatives won & the Alphabet Gays & Hillary lost. Keep focusing on these single issues, guys. Because they’re non-issues & you’re just desperate for something you can convince yourself is a win.

I think we can focus on more then one issue but nice try.

So wait. The Reps bring up the issues and cry over them and that is ok. The Dems respond and we are bringing up non issues. OK. Trump is the one crying over everything. He has to hold his Daughter’s hand over her business. He can’t handle a court ruling against him. He is scared of everything…but the Dem’s are the on focusing on non issues. OK!

Actually the NON ISSUE was Nordstroms deciding to no longer carry a FAILING brand. The ISSUE is the illegality of the White House using position to promote sales/argue the decision.
You’re a self-hating gay, so why not be gone? You have no power here! Hahahaha

You mean like the time Republicans lost their sh1t when Michelle Obama wore a sleeveless dress. Like that?

The most interesting aspects of the lemonade story:
The pair persuaded their bodyguard, their parents’ driver and household staffers [they copied their father and conned working-class people] to buy enough lemonade to cover their costs [poor business failures] under the ROI terms of the loan their father gave them to start their little business.

“The lesson, she says, is that the kids ‘made the best of a bad situation.'”
No! The lesson was, “Hey, it worked! We can pressure people to buy our stuff when they can’t afford it! (Especially if they work for our parents and we have power over them!)”
It was the first time someone said, “GO BUY IVANKA’S STUFF!!”

I want to see a “Harambe died so you can go buy Ivanka’s stuff” meme
