the elections. In other words, additional funding is not needed at this time, but could be needed next summer.

Critics Stumped RNC Lists ‘Honorable’ Ivanka Trump — And Omits Title For Her Siblings


Such a title is usually reserved for judges and high-ranking officials like presidents and governors — and federal appointees confirmed by the Senate. Ivanka Trump is a real estate owner and former clothing manufacturer who was named a White House adviser with no political experience by her father.

Critics on Twitter pointed out that Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were ordered to undergo mandatory charity finance “training” as part of a court settlement following misuse of Trump Foundation funds — a less than honorable deed.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, Housing Secretary Ben Carson, deputy assistant to the president Ja’Ron Smith and retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg were also given “The Honorable” titles by convention organizers.

I kept wincing at that "honorable" title. There is no honor in him or anyone else trump has chosen to ruin our democracy.

because they found him a despicable human being -- and did TV commercials for his opponent. To no avail. The good people of Arizona thought, shoot, if his family thinks his a worthless lump of human excrement, that's good enough for me!

And DeJoy, having a bad day, stumbles through his answer because he is willfully clueless about the USPS, its problems and its importance, but he does point out Gosar's empty headed question as, well, an empty headed question.
