HORRORS!!!!! – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:   I will take time out from the important work of watching the big snowstorm outside to report on a NEW THREAT to America, a threat so vast that it may bring down the Republic.  I refer of course to President Trump's tweet defending his daughter, Ivanka, after Nordstrom stopped carrying her clothing line.

Can you imagine?  A father defending his daughter?  If this be treason...

Why, CNN rushed to defend our democracy with its grim panels of grim faces announcing the severe conflict of interest.   Why...why...Trump mentioned Nordstrom by name.  He attacked A STORE!  How dare he, and, of course, as we're now being told every day by CNN, in reporting on Trump, this was unprecedented.

The hell it was.  FDR went after "economic royalists."  He may not have called them by name, but everyone, including the news media at the time, knew who they were.  President Truman tried to seize the steel mills.  There's a long list.

Why, Trump is using the White House Twitter account to help his daughter's business.  Conflict, conflict!  Send in the cops.

Yeah, and Hillary Clinton made $95-million in recent years selling access to government.  They called them "speeches," but no one pays half a mil to hear a speech.  These big shots knew what they were paying for.

So, we are in a crisis.  The president defends his daughter.  He has brought down the house of Lincoln.  The statue of Abe at the Lincoln Memorial was seen weeping.  Jefferson left the Jefferson Memorial, to seek a safe space on a college campus. 

Let us fear for the Constitution.
