onion is an onion and it stinks

 An ONION is an ONION is an ONION, no matter how many levels you peel away, it still STINKS! 

Better hurry. You have 11 days to secure the headgear last sighted on Melania Trump on the balcony of the White House during Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s state visit to Washington in 2018. Yes, the Former Flotus Fedora — originally the finishing touch to a white tailored ensemble by Michael Kors — is available to the highest bidder on melaniatrump.com. For those who dared to think that it was over for the Trumps after the presidential election of 2020 — be that politically or sartorially — here comes further soul-shrinking evidence that it is not…. Former first ladies do not normally hock their cast-offs. Indeed, it’s an unprecedented act. Instead — if they have been worn on an occasion of state — they are bequeathed to the National Archives. The website states that “a portion of the proceeds derived from this auction” will go to charity, but a request by The New York Times for clarification on this matter from Melania’s office has not as yet been answered.

Really? Sen. Marsha Blackburn Is Trying to Disqualify A Black Judicial Nominee for Speeding Tickets. He currently works for Butler Snow LLP and has been nominated by President Biden to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. Despite that long list of accolades,  Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) had the nerve to say she had serious concerns over Mathis’ nomination for a few reasons. According to Huffington Post, there was just one: n. Marsha Blackburn Is Trying to Disqualify A Black Judicial Nominee for Speeding Tickets.

Andre Bernard Mathis is a bad brotha. He was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He is a lawyer who got his bachelor’s degree from the University of Memphis in 2003 and graduated cum laude from the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in 2007. Mathis has served on the Magistrate Judge Merit Selection Panel for the Western District of Tennessee and on the Sixth Circuit’s Federal Defender Evaluation Committee. 

 Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) had the nerve to say she had serious concerns over Mathis’ nomination for a few reasons. According to Huffington Post, there was just one: “He has a rap sheet with a laundry list of citations, including multiple failures to appear in court,” said the Republican senator. “In Tennessee, we expect our judges to respect the law. If Mr. Mathis thought he was above the law before, imagine how he’ll conduct himself if he’s confirmed as a federal judge.” … Those horrible crimes? Mathis got three speeding tickets more than ten years ago, one of which was going five miles over the speed limit. Mathis explained to the committee he forgot to pay them and didn’t realize his license had been suspended until he got a notice in the mail from the Tennessee Department of Motor Vehicles. Once he received the notice, everything was paid and resolved. (The Root)

 

So MELANIE (I still call her that name because if her husband had referred to her by that name, I guess it is good enough for me), has gone back to GRIFTING…she was never one to be a role model as First Lady, so I suppose her selling her attire for a big buck is just part of her SHAM or is it SHAME…Like Husband like wife, two Snake Oil Perfectionists! And then we have Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Blackburn feigning righteous indignation about appointing judges, in this case, who happen to not be white. Marsha had no problem confirming Brett Kavanaugh and his silly White Frat Boy antics like accused sexual harassment. No Brett was totally innocent and never mind the bevy of women who declared to differ. And Marsha had NOOOOO problem in supporting TRUMP, who has been accused of breaking almost every civil and Federal law possible!
