The Inevitable New The Inevitable Trump Mocking Thread

This would be hilarious if it weren't so telling of how far down our country has come with a carpetbagger, reality TV, con-man being elected to the highest office by an unaware and uninvolved electorate.

Vice President Mike Pence appeared to have overestimated his audience’s opinion of the American president on Friday when he spoke during an event at the Munich Security Conference.

The vice president was in Germany as part of a delegation of U.S. lawmakers to the annual conference that dates back to the height of the Cold War.

″I especially want to invite all of you to thank Senator Lindsey Graham for leading this delegation,” Pence said.

A strong round of applause followed.

“And to [...] all of you I bring greetings from a great champion of freedom and of strong national defense, who must work with these members of Congress to strengthen America’s military might and strengthen the leadership of the free world,” he continued. “I bring greetings from the 45th president of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.”

The crowd did not react.

When German Chancellor Angela Merkel finished an extended critique of Trump’s “America First” policies, she received an enthusiastic standing ovation. (Ivanka Trump, an adviser to the president and his eldest daughter, did not join in.)

While the conference has traditionally given world leaders a moment to come together in pursuit of shared goals, this year’s tone has highlighted the division between the U.S. and other superpowers.

Wait. Ivanka was in the audience when Pence spoke, yet didn’t applaud her father?
 
Has eminent domain ever been previously used to build a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border?
Yes. In the final years of President George W. Bush’s administration, land owners in Texas had their property seized through eminent domain to build a border fence along the border with Mexico.

In 2007, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security filed more than 360 eminent domain lawsuits against Americans who owned land along the Mexico border, from Texas to California, The Texas Tribune reported. Ten years later, some of those lawsuits are still going on.

We’re looking statesmanlike and genuine family values photos of President Trump. For some reason they’re not coming up easy. I’ve searched “Trump family at weekly Sunday services” and “World leaders not laughing at Trump” but I think the libtard media has suppressed them.
 
Too funny,

Retailers, Fashion Brands Struggle With Racial Insensitivity
By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO

Antonio Calanni, ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers and top fashion brands like Gucci and Prada keep apologizing for products that smack of racial insensitivity.

The big question is: Why does it keep happening?

Experts say many of these fashion companies live in a sort of bubble and lack the diversity in their staff that could vet their fashions. They also blame the increasing pressures facing the industry to push products from the design board to the stores and online in weeks rather than months without taking time to thoroughly review products.

"There is such pressure on speed that there is no time for consideration," said Allen Adamson, co-founder of Metaforce, a marketing firm. "When you are moving this fast, there is no time for perspective."

Just as quickly as mistakes are made, so too are they amplified over social media as shoppers take to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to voice complaints.

In the latest example, Katy Perry's fashion line this week pulled two types of shoes — which featured protruding eyes, nose and red lips — that critics likened to blackface. The singer and company said they were saddened that it was being compared to blackface and had envisioned the designs to be a nod to "modern art and surrealism."

Last week, Gucci removed a sweater off the market after complaints that the oversized collar designed to cover the face resembled blackface makeup. In a statement posted on Twitter, Gucci offered a mea culpa and said that it planned to turn the incident "into a powerful learning moment for the Gucci team and beyond."

The latest blunders followed apologies from Italian designer Prada, which said in December it was no longer selling a line of accessories that featured a character with brown skin and exaggerated red lips. And last year, Swedish retailer H&M pulled an ad that featured a black child donning a sweat shirt with the words "Coolest monkey in the jungle."

Experts say that companies are not keeping up with the pace and complexity of global expansion.

"The fact is, all retailers live in a global village today, whether they realize it or not," said Sonia Lapinsky, managing director in the retail practice at AlixPartners, a global consulting firm. "And even if massive, global movements like the diversity movement and other 'woke' movements don't yet seem to be of the highest importance to all retailers, in every segment and in every corner of the planet, those that think that way are most likely doing so at their long-term peril."

Adheer Bahulkar, a partner at consultancy A.T. Kearney, agreed, saying that brands need to pay attention to issues that might not be noticed within their own culture but that are "highly sensitive in another culture."

Acknowledging their mistakes, some companies are now trying to rectify the problem. Gucci, for instance, announced Friday it will hire a global director for diversity and inclusion, a newly created role. It also is promising to launch a scholarship program to cultivate diverse design talent.
