Professional liar Kellyanne Conway has moved on from defending Donald Trump‘s erratic and unconstitutional behavior to promoting his daughter’s crappy fashion line from the White House press briefing room.
While speaking to Fox & Friends yesterday, Conway decided to take a moment to plug Ivanka’s rapidly declining brand.
“It’s a wonderful line,” she 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!”

How about we take this to the next level?

Critics were quick to point out that Conway’s remarks appear to be in direct violation of the executive branch’s ban on employees using the government’s platform to endorse products or companies. It also prohibits them from using public office for private gain of oneself, one’s friends, or one’s relatives.
All this comes on the heels of a tweet Donald Trump sent yesterday from his personal Twitter account and then retweeted from the official POTUS Twitter account attacking Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka’s line:
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
As a result, Nordstrom’s stock briefly plummeted; however, the it fully recovered within just four minutes, and ultimately closed out the day up 4.1%.
A similar thing happened back in December when the Donald tweeted about Vanity Fair, calling the magazine “way down, big trouble, dead.” The publication gained 13,000 new subscribers, a 100% increase in its average daily subscriptions, and saw a huge bump in online traffic.
We’re thinking that perhaps the Trump Administration should switch up its strategy. Instead of telling people to buy Ivanka’s crap, they should tell them not to buy it, and then maybe the public would listen.
Probably not, though.

Kellyanne Convolute, in a whacked Administration, is starting to feel like a 1970’s late-night, B-rated, horror-suspense show sponsored by La Brie’s Waterbeds. It’s always shocking to see the characters in their brown hooded-robes, even though, clear, they were evil from the start. Women she-devils always amped the dungeon scenes. Stay a moment won’t you and enjoy a word from our sponsor, Tom La Brie of La Brie’s Waterbeds…

as if the inbred toothless homeschooled Trump supporters could afford any of that made in China crap

I said it after he won the election that it would only be a matter of time before he was using his position to hawk his (and his families) wares. If he continues to get away with it it will be a mockery of the office of President.

Too late on the mockery part… this was a farce from the word go with Clinton and Trump running, and a hawkish establishment Democrat lost to a thumbelina-handed RINO who is so thin-skinned, his suits work as protection for his organs rather than simple clothing.

I guess “love trumps hate” doesn’t apply in this neighborhood.

This is a far cry from the outrage and embarrassment from Billy Carter and Billy Beer. Or Roger Clinton for that matter.
It’s disgusting that HRC was vilified while being a private citizen and getting paid for speech engagements. Oh, the horrors. Instead we know have a family that uses the White House while they are in it as a potential cash cow. And all those moralists on the right have no outrage at all.

Will anything happen after that violation of this ban? Seriously, can she just get away with it because she works for the POTUS?

Next Kellyanne Contrarian will walk up to White House visitors and spritz them with Ivanka’s perfume.
