Anybody in his right mind should be angry about what Republicans have done not only to the country, but to democracy itself.


Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy: Plot To Sabotage US Economy with Frank Luntz

On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration.

In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.

The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich

During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation. These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.

Melania isn’t the only member of the Trump family accused of being a copycat.

Luxury Italian shoe company Aquazzura has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in New York against Ivanka Trump, IT Collection LLC and her manufacturing partners Marc Fisher Holdings LLC and M.B. Fisher LLC, alleging they copied a popular shoe design.

Melania has been widely criticized Tuesday after her speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland Monday night was found to include verbatim phrases used by First Lady Michelle Obama when she addressed the 2008 Democratic National Convention.




The lawsuit against Ivanka Trump and partners claims the defendants infringed on Aquazzura’s fringed sandal the “Wild Thing” with the “Hettie,” also a fringed strappy shoe. Aquazzura’s Wild Thing is priced at $785 on Net-A-Porter; Ivanka Trump’s Hettie shoe is priced at $145 on Amazon.com Inc.
