Much of her life has played out like a Canadian stereotype: from her favourite food of moose stew to extolling the virtues of hockey moms and her love of snowmobiling.
But after a White House spokesman refused to rule out the possibility that Sarah Palin could be the next US ambassador to Ottawa, few in Canada seemed to be embracing the prospect of the former Alaska governor taking up the role.
“Sarah Palin as ambassador?” New Democrat MP Charlie Angus asked on Twitter. “Well that would show how little Steve Bannon and his pal @realDonaldTrump think of Canada.”
Others dismissed the idea as simply fake news or alternative facts, while some wondered if this was an early April Fools joke from the White House.
“Appointing Sarah Palin as the US ambassador to Canada is, like, ultimate trolling,” noted one. “If he makes Sarah Palin the US Ambassador to Canada. I say we keep our oil and hockey players. BTW … does she speak Canadian?” Asked another.
Oh good Canadians have a sense of humor.
Well if Sarah Palin actually becomes the ambassador to their country they are going to need it.
So do I think this might be an actual possibility?
Sure. After all Donald Trump clearly has not let ignorance, racism, or mental illness disqualify any of his administration picks so far.
And would Sarah Palin be willing to take the job?
What other choices does she have right now?
But there is really nothing to worry about even if she does.
Ambassadors have virtually NO power, and as for embarrassing the United States, what more could she really do in that area that Donald Trump is not already doing?
So let Trump appoint her if that is what he wants. It would just once again put her in a position to be mocked by the worldwide media and who does not enjoy that?
Are Canadians too polite to boo her in public? I sure would.

DeleteCNN has been co-opted and reversed its ban on Kellyanne -- WH threats? Koch Bros? This is all playing out like The West Wing TV series warned.
How long before Tapper (who tries to get answers out of her) is also fired? I haven't watched CNN for years, so am not surprised, but gutted yet again: nothing seems to point to any progress out of this quagmire...
Bill Moyers also says, "...feeling a tiny bit more hopeful about my craft. On my rounds, I even fancied that in protest against the vilification constantly aimed at them by Trump and his thuggish enforcers, perhaps CNN and the other big guys on the block
would pull out of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner this spring, that godawful spectacle where journalists and their corporate masters — those with much business pending before the government — preen and prance with the privileged and powerful.
All are one, on a night of reveling reminiscent of the court at Versailles when it was the seat of power in the kingdom of France."
(That The Red Cross was so tone deaf to their fancy dress ball theme this year at Mar-A-Leggo -- Versailles -- is appalling, no matter who won the election as the theme was undoubtedly set up before the election.)

Kellyanne Conway Breaks The Law By Using The White House To Sell Ivanka Trump’s Clothes
ReplyDelete...By telling people to go buy Ivanka Trump’s fashion line, Conway violated the ban by using her position for the financial gain of friends. She also endorsed a product while serving in an official capacity, and misused government property by selling Trump’s fashion line from the White House briefing room.
Kellyanne Conway broke the law, and her behavior was exactly what experts were worried about when they discussed the Trump family’s conflicts of interest. An employee of the federal government is using her position to enrich a friend on government property. The violations don’t get any clearer than what Conway did.
Conway broke the law, and her ethics violations need to be investigated immediately. President Trump and his corrupt administration must be held accountable.

Ethics Watchdog Files Complaint Over Conway's 'Product Endorsement'
DeleteThe Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) on Thursday filed a complaint with the Office of Government Ethics and the White House Counsel’s Office charging that Kellyanne Conway broke the law by urging Fox News viewers to buy Ivanka Trump products.
“The law is clear that public officials should not use their offices for their own private gain or the private gain of others,” CREW Executive Director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement announcing the complaint. “It’s hard to find a clearer case of that kind of misuse of office than we saw today.”
The liberal government watchdog group alleged that Conway violated regulations that bar federal employees from endorsing products, in addition to breaking a law that bars the use of federal funds for non-official purposes.
During an interview on Fox News Thursday morning, Conway urged viewers to buy Ivanka Trump's products as she defended President Donald Trump's tweet slamming Nordstrom for its decision to stop carrying his daughter's clothing and accessories line.
"Go buy Ivanka's stuff is what I would tell you," Conway said. "I hate shopping, I will go get some myself today."
"This is just a wonderful line," she added. "I own some of it. I fully—I'm going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody, you can find it online."

White House: Conway has been 'counseled' for urging people to buy Ivanka's products
.... Conway’s comment on “Fox & Friends” appears to violate an Office of Government Ethics regulation prohibiting the executive branch from endorsing companies or products. That OGE regulation also prohibits the use of public office for private gain of friends or relatives.
“Kellyanne has been counseled and that’s all we’re going to go with. She's been counseled on that subject, and that's it,” Spicer said Thursday when asked if the White House believed Conway had crossed an ethical line.....

ReplyDeleteCNN Demolishes Trump By Fact Checking His Lie Filled Tweet Live On The Air
ReplyDeleteAfter Trump had tweeted an inaccurate statement about an interview that the cable news network had just concluded, CNN responded to the President’s false statement by playing the tape and tearing into the President for calling the network fake news.
Video:
...CNN showed how every network should handle Trump’s attempts to bully the media through his Twitter account. The networks have an advantage over Trump. If they choose to do so, they can respond in real time, and fact check the President.
President Trump thinks he is at war with the media. He seems to believe that bellowing or tweeting fake news is going to cause the networks to buckle in fear.

The Mysterious Disappearance of the Biggest Scandal in Washington
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the Trump-Russia story?
The biggest election-related scandal since Watergate occurred last year, and it has largely disappeared from the political-media landscape of Washington.
According to the consensus assessment of US intelligence agencies, Russian intelligence, under the orders of Vladimir Putin, mounted an extensive operation to influence the 2016 campaign to benefit Donald Trump. This was a widespread covert campaign that included hacking Democratic targets and publishing swiped emails via WikiLeaks. And it achieved its objectives. But the nation's capital remains under-outraged by this subversion. The congressional intelligence committees announced last month that they will investigate the Russian hacking and also examine whether there were any improper contacts between the Trump camp and Russia during the campaign. (A series of memos attributed to a former British counterintelligence officer included allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.) Yet these behind-closed-doors inquiries have generated minimum media notice, and, overall, there has not been much outcry.

DeleteDonald Trump’s Tweets About a Judge Find a Critic in an Unlikely Place: China
ReplyDeletePresident Trump’s public criticism of a federal judge who blocked his immigration order was condemned across the political spectrum as an assault on judicial independence. Now the president is being taken to task from an unexpected place: China.
Judge He Fan of the Supreme People’s Court of China published a scathing blog post about Mr. Trump’s reaction to Judge James L. Robart’s recent ruling blocking key parts of his executive order that barred visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Judge He said that Mr. Trump had breached the principle of an independent judiciary, and that people who attacked judges were “public enemies of the law.”
“Even if you control the armed forces and have nuclear weapons,” Judge He wrote in the post, published on Sunday, “your dignity has been swept away and you are no different than a villain.”

Delete2:18. Yes,9 this month. He's a February baby. Remember the Valentine's t shirt pic of infant Trig. Happy Birthday,handsome little guy.Poor child. Now he has No hope of any normal life. No life skills,non verbal. Lives in diapers. In a "home" because not one Unemployed family member gave a shit .Sarah,you whore,you'll burn in Hell for this.

DeleteSARAH PALIN JOBS MO (Modus Operandi)
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah Palin is offered an ambassador job, she will take the job so she can have a new title.
When there's work involved Sarah Palin will quit her new job and continue to use the titles she has collected
If Sarah Palin can pull off her scams like she has done before, she will collect per diem to sleep at home, she will lie and say that her children, grandkids and parents were invited to an event in Canada and submit the bill to the United States of America government.
Request taxpayers money to redecorate her ambassadors office and turn it into a bordello.
There's more, no need to tell you since we all know if it ain't nailed down look inside those black trash bags she used when the Wasilla Hill Billies flew the coop with the RNC clothes.
How can Sarah Palin be an ambassador and leave Wasilla and leave Track alone to fuck some other girl and beat her up when she becomes pregnant?

ReplyDelete“As for that Ambassador to Canada talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the Ambassador to Canada does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that ambassador slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.”

I could see Melissa going after that reporter with the podium as she screams That's the silliest thing I've ever heard!
I'm pretty sure that Track is no longer allowed in Canada due to his substance abuse and domestic violence record. Therefore I'm sure that if offered, she'd take it, just to "get away" for awhile. Even I can think of at least one hilarious SNL skit involving Palin as the Canadian Ambassador........do you think that Trudeau would agree to host?

Conway's Endorsement of Ivanka Trump Brand 'Unacceptable': House Oversight Chairman
By ALEXANDER MALLIN ZUNAIRA ZAKI
Feb 9, 2017, 2:59 PM ET
Multiple legal experts and former White House officials say Kellyanne Conway's endorsement on TV of the Ivanka Trump brand violated ethics rules governing executive branch employees.
Responding to the barrage of criticism, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday that Conway "has been counseled" regarding her remarks....

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is being considered for job as ambassador to Canada. She's presently on a flight to Europe to meet with us. #sarahpalin

Maybe they can rerun the "Where's Sarah" buttons that the Alaska legislators used when she was an absentee governor. Cause ya know, she'll be an absentee ambassador, too. Save the Canadians the fee for the button set up.
ReplyDeleteEasy D.
ReplyDeleteLmao
Actually, this would be the nail in her coffin.
ReplyDeleteWhile she figures the money will save her and the prestige is a big deal, in essence it would get her out of the country and bury her. No more media attention.
She'd love it because it would be a figural post with nothing to do.
But...I doubt she'd be invited to any parties or events. She'd be a pariah AND out of the country and the spotlight.
It would be the worst thing to happen to her and effectively end what little "career" and influence she might have left.
I hope the rumor is true and I hope she takes it.
Good bye Sarah. In four years it will be Sarah Palin who?
Trump is smart. There's no way Trump would make Sarah Palin a Secretary in his administration like he mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThe Senators would tear Sarah Palin a new asshole during her questioning.
A safe bet for Sarah would be an ambassador job since she would not be questioned revealing her and her family's dirty chonies on all the networks.

Palin, being one of the stupidest women alive with a family that inter-breeded with sheep, was chosen by Senator McCain to be his running mate when he ran for President against Obama. it's said he burns himself with cigarettes every day to remind him of that mistake. -- yeah, i made this part up.

ReplyDeleteyeah, like, bloated.
DeleteSarah is fat, cross-eyed, dirty, bald, and stinky.
DeleteUS News:
ReplyDeleteRep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat and the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, jumped on Conway's Thursday comments, sending a letter to committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz urging him to review her statement for "potential disciplinary action."
"This appears to be a textbook violation of government ethics laws and regulations enacted to prevent the abuse of an employee's government position," Cummings wrote.
On Wednesday, Chaffetz said he wasn't bothered by Trump's tweet, telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "most people can relate to the fact that a father, a doting father with very successful children, is going to look after those children, and if he sees something going wrong, he's going to call it out."
But on Thursday, the Utah Republican said Conway's remarks were "clearly over the line, unacceptable."
"That was wrong, wrong, wrong," he told NBC News. "It is wholly unacceptable – no if, ands or buts about it."
A Good Idea, Even if It’s From Republicans

Gryphen, just have the decency to admit that if she's appointed, she'd be the gosh-darn - excuse my French - prettiest ambassadors to Canada we've had in the last 3 months. At least one of the top 5 prettiest, anyway.
ReplyDelete??????? What do you think this is, pre-2008, when Palin started going ugly?
Delete@12:32 PM Crossed eyes are not pretty.
Deleteyeah that cracked out whore will be a hit!
DeleteI think y'all are missing the ;)
DeletePalin? Is this a negotiation tactic by Trump to get our oil for free if he keeps her?
ReplyDeleteI'd bet that someone in the Palin camp planted this story to keep her name in the news and to remind Trump that she's a "loyal follower." I can see the comedy writers in Canada having a field with her as ambassador. Comedy gold.
ReplyDeleteoh I am guessing the same thing. problem is that ol sarah draws attention like shit to flies? shrug...

1. Trump doesn't have any respect or affection for her and wouldn't appoint her to anything.
ReplyDelete2. Canada wouldn't welcome her.
3. By the Guardian's own standard this is fake news.
4. Sarah Palin is desperate... but she can't fall back on her embarrassing public stunts for attention because she still believes that sooner or later Trump will toss her a stale crust. Sooo, she's damned either way.
Canada! RESIST! Lock her out!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Fred's boy have against Canada?
Some people sure are bound and determined to keep this blog focused on anything but Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteGosh I wonder why that could be.
Maybe people would rather talk about current events than that washed up old hag from Wasilla.
Deletefollow the money and you will find out why.
DeleteI've long assumed that either the washed-up old hag is bound & determined to re-invent herself, or the torch has been passed to the MOH & his lovely bride. Either way it would be kind of a drag if people didn't let the old baggage fade away.
DeletePlease don't let 'em get away with it, G. Memories are short and not everyone was paying enough attention to realize what a grotesque freak show the Wasilla Hillbillies have been. As long as they continue to interject themselves into a public area, it isn't just okay to say vigilant...it's a civic responsibility.
Did you ever stop to realize that Palin is old news and essentially irrelevant 4:22? Even in the unlikely event she somehow does become ambassador to Canada, she is irrelevant. You are just obsessed. That is what you need to understand. You are obsessed with Palin.
DeleteAnd beyond that, do you really think THIS blog is going to somehow be the be all end all of Palin lol? So much that dark underlying forces are trying to change the conversation here lolololol?
Yeah and the "O/T" troll got his ass handed to him waaay up yonder in a couple of threads. Called him alicia ;)lol

DeleteIt's fun watching her fail. Just when you think you've seen it all, Sarah announces on the world stage the completely unrelated topic that one of her kids messed up.
DeleteThe alternative truth is trump plans to appoint sarah as ambassador to Mexico, then in exchange for having her recalled, Mexico will pay for the wall.
ReplyDeletegood one

ReplyDeleteWhy exactly did you resign from the governorship of AK? :)
Oh jesus... Get over yourself, nobody cares. Gryph knows this too but he still needs what is left of her carcass for clicks from whoever is still infatuated.
Delete@9:40 PM Yet you are here responding? Get over yourself, troll.
DeleteIf you don't care so much, 940p, why in the blue blazes do you comment so many times on every. single. Palin. thread.
DeleteAnd since reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit, let me use little words:
1) Sarah Palin has never been held accountable (oops, big word, sorry) for the things she has done, and
2) As long as there is any chance that someone like the MOH might try to ride to political power on her coattails, G and everybody else needs to make sure she that nobody forgets how vile she is.
But if you really don't care so much, 940p, by all means, stop reading already. We won't miss each other.
Palin probably started this rumor, jonesing for a job, like her pathetic begging to be VA secretary. Her megaphone and all that BS. As if. Ambassador to the US's great Northern ally is way easier than the VA job, but still much too hard for her.
ReplyDeleteMain thing is that appointing her to anything at all, does nothing for Trump. She's poison, just what he doesn't need.
After I read about the rumour that Palin is (?) under consideration, posted a link to your blog on the Facebook Overtime with Bill Maher. Also posted your photo of Palin with the 'Fuc you Michael Moore' photo. Right after that, Maher's Facebook page, as well as Michael Moore's page, became inaccessible and my accounts list of posts to those pages disappeared. Because my access to all other groups I belong to remain accessible, I must conclude Facebook is censoring access to selected group pages. Beware!
