Ivanka had a trademark protection approved in China so companies there couldn’t sell branded knockoffs. Thousands of other US companies do the same as it protects your business and controls who can legally manufacture products using it.
I don't know why that isn't on the front page of every newspaper but I'm pretty sure that MAGA tweet is trying to deflect attention from the actual news rolling across the global wire.
Took awhile, but the reality of Ern being fully dishonest is now here. Every. Single. Time. with these Leftists who rely solely on Democrat propaganda for their information.
Ern's outside sources are DNC press releases run through the MSM. Same word salad that Ern spews here on the Tug; conclusions without any actual factual support. From Russian collusion through the covid lies, Hunter's laptop and then the dementia patient is sharp as a tack to suddenly he isn't competent enough to stand trial or run for president but he still sharp as a tack and competent to be president to the whitewash of Kameltoe's record all swallowed by our supposed top elites to leftard bottom feeders like Ern and mello.
Too bad they didn't pay me a million dollar consultant's fee for an opinion on whether putting the money into a pile and lighting it on fire was a better investment than doubling down on EV school buses for the kiddie's and the chicoms.
"Millions" Wasted On Electric School Busses As Maryland Pivots Back To Diesel

A school district in Maryland is finding out just how costly virtue signaling can wind up being.
Maryland’s largest school district in Montgomery County found out via an Inspector General's report that implementing electric busses “led to millions of dollars in wasteful spending”, according to WTOP.
The wasteful spending was caused in part by late deliveries and maintenance issues, according to the IG report.
The report said that at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in October 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) announced that its 326 new electric buses would save 6,500 gallons of fuel daily and cut costs by 50%.
And then reality set in. Since entering into a $168 million contract for the buses, MCPS has faced significant delays, WTOP reports.
The county’s Office of the Inspector General reported that the buses were consistently delivered late. Dozens of buses scheduled for fiscal year 2022 arrived only after Christmas, instead of at the start of the school year as required.
“MCPS’s failure to hold the contractor accountable to the terms of the contract and their decision not to include provisions to offset incurred expenses has led to millions of dollars in wasteful spending,” the IG report said.
A similar issue occurred in fiscal year 2024. Of the 120 buses slated for delivery, only 37 arrived by the end of September, 69 between October and December, and 14 more between January and April.
The report also highlighted mechanical and charging failures, which rendered many buses inoperable for extended periods. From February 2022 to March 2024, buses failed to complete routes 280 times, with repairs taking an average of 13 days, and more than half exceeding five working days, according to WTOP.
Consequently, in October 2023, the school board approved the purchase of 90 diesel buses for over $14.7 million to address the shortfall.

Let’s focus on the real issues like that scandal.

Same shit, different day. Twitter conspiracy, Burisma. Yawn. Let's get some new material, boys.
You really are a mule.Your “news” article is pure speculation by an “unnamed source”.
You would think people would learn by now to be suspicious. Very suspicious. You would think.
I’ll take the video of SleepyJoe bragging about getting the Ukraine prosecutor fired. Not to mention the untold amount of detail on Hunter’s laptop.
You are a captured lemming. Swallow harder.
I thought "the global wire" implied that this story is everywhere, cuz it is. Attack the sources though. There's hundreds.
Believe what you want to believe and shun the rest. Standard fare.
My point isn't even about the story. It's about the deflection from the story. This is also standard fare. It's predictable and boring.
The Tug is extremely siloed in the curated Twittersphere considering what is shared here. You could use some outside sources.

Who says government isn't an efficient allocator of your tax dollars?
Biden and the globalists accomplish what even Clinton couldn’t do.
Belfast Catholics and Protestants joining arms.
The Irish might save the world.
100s of sources yet you show up with “unnamed source”. And I live in a silo?
Maybe follow your own advice.
Here’s my advice: Fuck off.
.
Let's play spot the fascists.
CallMeBigFaggot thinks this is staged.
.
See ?
.
Another scapegoat firing.
Who the FUCK is running this administration?
Uh, not the dementia patient. Seems more like a DEI move by Kameltoe, hater of Jews and America and lover of totalitarian Muslims.
