First Ladies Come Under Attack

by Leave a Comment

It’s so unfortunate that we attack a person’s spouse when the real target should be the policies of the president him/her self.

In 2009, an uproar over Michelle Obama show her bare arms seem to make news.  In 2016, Melania Trump’s past history of modeling raises even more criticism.

The children and spouses of major political figures should be off-limits when talking about political policies.

Trump’s Investment in the Dakota Pipeline

by Leave a Comment

Lorraine Chow, “Trump has not spoken about the DAPL but holds stocks that are directly funding the Dakota Access Pipeline. According to Trump’s financial disclosure forms, The Guardian reported that he has invested between $500,000 and $1 million in Energy Transfer Partners.”

Kelcy Warren, CEO of Dakota Access LLC, has donated $103,000 to Donald Trumps presidential campaign.

It is anybody’s guess that Trump’s decisions will line his own pockets.

Trump family calling for an FBI Investigation of Anti-Trump protests.

The Observer, a news site owned by President-elect Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, posted an op-ed calling for an FBI investigation into the “political thuggery” of anti-Trump protests taking place in the wake of the presidential election. [1]

But it is alleged that Trump actually paid “actors” to hold signs during Trumps presidential announcement.

New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump’s event. [2]

Here’s the alleged full email from Extra Mile, with contact information redacted.

Hi there—

We are working helping one of are [sic] associates out at Gotham GR – http://gothamgr.com/ with a big event happening on TUESDAY 6/16/15.

This is an event in support of Donald Trump and an upcoming exciting announcement he will be making at this event.

This event is called “People for a Stronger America.” The entire group is a pro-small business group that is dedicated to encouraging Donald Trump and his latest ventures. This event will be televised.

We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement.

We understand this is not a traditional “background job,” but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.

This event is happening LIVE and will be from 8:45AM-11:30AM. LESS THAN 3 HOURS

This will take place inside / interior.

The rate for this is: $50 CASH at the end of the event.

We would love to book you if you are interested and still available.

Trump Loses Lawsuit and Has To Pay ALL Attorney Fees

by Leave a Comment

 

The attorney fees are almost 10 times what the original balance due to a painter by Donald Trump.

Yes, you can fight back to “big money” and folks who take advantage of small business.  Donald Trump is no friend to small business.

Sampson writes, “According to the Miami Herald, Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto ruled in favor of a local paint store in a case regarding Trump’s unpaid bills. The case, heard in a Miami-Dade County courtroom, resulted in an order for the Trump’s National Doral Miami golf resort to pay the small family business almost $300,000 in attorney’s fees.”

Twitter was, well, all a twitter about the odd looking Trump/Pence logo released this week after The Donald selected Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana as his running mate. Two Republicans chose another route to commemorate the not so blessed event with a new phrase, “TrumpUpPence”. Please share.
