Continuing Daddy's Legacy

Failure is a family tradition.

Forbes:

Ivanka Trump’s latest memoir on empowering working women is so far a moneyloser for its publisher, Portfolio, a division of publishing giant Penguin Random House, Forbes has found. 

From its May 2017 release through the end of the year, Trump’s book Women Who Work sold 31,900 copies, according to data from NPD Bookscan, which tracks 85% of the U.S. domestic book market. That means the book, which advises women on how to excel in both their social and professional lives, has raked in about $1.1 million. Portfolio received an estimated $566,000 from all the sales, while it paid a $787,500 advance to Trump prior to her joining her father’s administration as an advisor. The First Daughter will receive another installment of her advance in the upcoming months. Altogether Forbes, with help from publishing experts, estimates that Portfolio, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has lost at least $220,000.

Expect amazingly great things, and end up getting Kansas.



We are so Kansas-ed.

Today's Outrage

In case it escaped your notice, The Feds posted a SURPLUS of $113 Billion this past April, and another one ($116 Billion) for June this year.

Makes me wonder about some things: first is why the GOP wasn't jumping up and down taking credit because of their steely-eyed courage for having stomped the fuck outa poor people and unemployed workers.  Second, if we have a surplus, isn't time to cut Mitt Romney's taxes?

But then this:

Oh - now I get it.  They'll get around to it - they're just not done yet.

BTW - did you catch the part about Repubs voting in favor of the spending of tax dollars that directly benefits themselves?  Poor kids have to skip even more meals now so Michele Bachmann can collect a few thousand greenbacks for not planting any Jesus Weed again this year.

So what is it the 'conservatives' are so fond of grousing about?  Something to do with "undeserving people who will vote themselves a share of other people's money"?  Isn't that it?

Bend over and grease up, America.

The Parade Of Fail

Exactly

If they're not as deliberately ignorant as they seem to be, why are they constantly providing evidence that they are?
