It is when you're sleeping with the president

I think you may have Ivanka confused with Melania..

I certainly hope so.

[Big RR]

No, why else would he want her? Didn't he make some lascivious comments about her during the campaign? https://www.mediaite.com/online/donald- ... -daughter/

Seriously, I was confusing the names--sorry.

So does Donald.

Please stop. My lovely breakfast and fabulous coffee is threatening to reappear.

My sickness begins when I wake up and realize Trump is still president.

[Guinevere]

As I said in another thread, he sickens me every day. But that notion is ultra-sickening.

[Big RR]

No argument there.

I've had the unpleasant experience of becoming very well educated on child sex abuse statistics and modalities during my years as a victim's advocate and criminal attorney handling numerous such cases. Considering the number of risk factors in the family setting and the personality and known sexually assaultive behavior of the suspected perpetrator, I would frankly be more shocked if Ivanka hadn't been molested by her dad, than if she had. When I saw the way he touches her in public, I felt instant pity for her.

Not to throw any fuel on this fire, but what are those marks on the back of Ivanka's left arm?

[BoSoxGal]

Looks like fingerprints to me; I'd wager that Trump first held her upper arms before moving his hands to her hips, and the camera caught the residual marks from that pressure on her skin. She's very fair and a firm touch on fair skinned people often creates a momentary flush on the skin.

eta: Yup, I just found this photo from the same event;



He's known for his firm grip.

Trump is such a job creator - so much better than O'bummer!

President Donald Trump loves to talk about creating jobs, and now has more than million jobs to point to.
With July's jobs report, employers have added a total of 1,074,000 jobs during Trump's first six full months in office.
That essentially matches the 1,084,000 jobs created during President Barack Obama's last six months in office. Both round to 1.1 million, and the 10,000 difference is well within the margin of error of the Labor Department estimate.

Any comments wesw?

Anybody?

Bueller?

Kudos to Newsweek for having the 'fake news' guts to publish this cover:

BSG, I'm calling BS on this until further notice — or until the source of this "statistic" is known and subject to verification.
Unless you are counting the number of people who are actively employed in blogging, volunteering, and otherwise engaged in trying to get Trump the hell out of Dodge.

It's front page news all over the country today, BB. Same federal labor statistics as those put together by the DOL under every President in my lifetime. I suggest you call bullshit on your own ignorance.

So let's see .... does this include the seasonal hiring of people who are making minimum wage — if they're lucky, and with no benefits other than maybe an employee discount at the concession stand — at the amusement parks, water slides, and summer vacation facilities across this great land of ours?  The same people who will be OUT of a job after Labor Day when they drain the pools and batten down the hatches for winter?  Somehow I think of being employed as having a job that allows you to buy a home, raise a family, and put food on the table without having to hold down three of them in order to make ends meet. A job like my old man had, for example.

And what do they base these statistics on?  The net change in the number of people who are no longer on the unemployment rolls?  If that's the case maybe I should bow down in homage to the Great Cheeto as well, for I guess I am one of his 1.07 million 'successes' since I too was unemployed for a month and collecting UIC (unemployment insurance compensation) for about three weeks back in January of this year.  But somehow I thought it was because I went out there and shook the bushes looking for work and had the skillsets my new employer could use that got me hired, not because of anything the big blowhard in the Oval Office did for me.

The Department of Labor uses the same methodology as always.

Most of the job growth over the past six months is due to the policies put in place under Obama, not Trump - after all, he's not actually done that much in way of putting policies into action.

My point in posting the DOL report was to show that Trump hasn't increased Obama's numbers much - except in golfing days and days out of the White House.
