    Did she say anything that was not true? I think that you have a legitimate complaint about the last little plug for her last statement about buying Ivanka products, but I don't think that this had much to do with why Ivanka's products are performing so well. Lefties are the ones who are responsible for the success of her products.

    Emoluments clause? C'mon... This clause was out of concern from the 1700s that American ambassadors, while away, could be corrupted by gifts from rich European powers. It's not like Ivanka is getting expensive gifts from other countries that might lead her to corruption. The only folks who are giving Ivanka a great gift that helps her business would be the lefties right here in the USA who have launched her products to more success than she would have seen if lefties would have just left it alone. The emoluments clause is really reaching, and comes off as desperation. Have you looked at how often this clause has been used?

    If you have questions or concerns about this moderation action, please use the Report button to let us know.

    Are you implying that members of our community here are stupid? His comment does not appear to be directed toward any posters here, unless of course you are taking a position here that some of our lefty posters here really are stupid. If I was a lefty poster and saw your comment, I would report you to a mod for insulting other posters. I don't like lefties, but I would not insult them the way that you just did here.

    This is an oxymoron when debating politics. The lefty interpretation probably won't be the same as a righty interpretation. I like to research to prove both a lefty and a righty interpretation.

    What about the emoluments clause? I like a lot of your points in this thread, and have been trying to evaluate each of them objectively. I suspect that Ivanka is getting something out of being the first daughter, but I don't know if it is going to be tangible enough for the opposing political powers to lock onto. The whole thing appears to be politically motivated in the political war that is going on, so I am pessimistic towards both sides in this situation. My subjective side Thinks Ivanka is hot, and I want to see her benefit from all the political BS that is going on, but I can also appreciate your points when I look at the whole thing objectively.

    Ignore List

    It looks like you are only ignoring lefties, which means it will be hard for me to make the list. Just so you know, ignoring something voluntarily causes self imposed ignorance. I don't agree with any of the folks on your list, but I really value their input in the community. Without them, we would have an echo chamber here of righties singing to the choir. Silencing folks who you don't like, or ignoring folks you don't like is lefty behavior.

    Very good point. I don't know why he felt that he needed to enforce what he had to say with his big badge. I think your ignore list is a dumb idea and all, and I even agree with Chris poking you in the ribs about it, but if it needs administrative authority to support it, then it has no merit.

    Starman, be advised that you have been placed on my list of people who I don't ignore.
