Deplorables are mad at Samantha Bee for calling Ivanka a cunt, but were fine with Trump:
-Calling Sally Yates a cunt
-Calling Mexicans rapists
-Calling NFL players sons of bitches
-Saying he grabs women by their pussies
-Calling African countries shitholes
Save the outrage.

SHE really is such a stupid SCHLEMPE and a FOTZE!
After sharing a dubious 'Chinese proverb' on Twitter, Ivanka is widely mocked in China and the U.S.
Yesterday Ivanka Trump was doing her best to hype the meeting between Donald Trump and murderous North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. From Singapore, she shared a “Chinese proverb” with her followers on Twitter:
One problem … nobody can find the origin of this so-called ancient proverb. And when we say nobody can find it, that includes millions of Chinese who’ve been searching high and low. From NPR:
After a thorough search of the Analects of Confucius, Taoist texts and everything in between, nothing definitive has come up. But that hasn't stopped millions of Chinese social media users from making wild guesses like these, straight from Weibo, one of China's most popular social media sites:
- 临渊羡鱼不如退而结网 — It's better to knit a fishnet instead of standing by the river and hoping for fish.
- 观棋不语真君子 — Don't give advice while watching others playing a chess game.
- 勿以善小而不为 — Don't ignore small acts of kindness simply because they seem trivial.
- 己所不欲,勿施於人 — Don't force others to do things you don't want to do yourself.
- 吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸 — If you haven't tasted the grapes, don't say they're sour.
As you might imagine, her tweet is also being widely mocked by the Chinese.
A lack of a clear source for Trump's tweet has some people speculating the first daughter either made it up or, a more likely explanation, cut and pasted the saying from an unreliable website. In the meantime, the search for this "proverb" through ancient Chinese texts has become something of a viral Quixotic quest in China, filled with many a sarcastic comment:"Did you get that from a fortune cookie?""估计是 fortune cookie 上学来的...""Don't mistake something as a Chinese proverb simply because it's written in Chinese characters.""不能因为某句话上面配了个鬼画符的"中国字",就觉得那是句中国谚语。——鲁迅""Many foreigners make up Chinese proverbs much like we make up English ones.""都想多了。其实,很多欧美人说的中国谚语,都是他们自己编的,如同我们也编了他们的不少谚语。""I think Jack Ma said that.""我想是马云说的。""A Chinese proverb from Ivanka has killed the brain cells of Chinese netizens.""伊万卡一句中国谚语,累死了全中国网友脑细胞啊。""You can call any old [s***] a Chinese proverb on the internet."— Confucius
Fortune cookie diplomacy seems about right. Back home in the states, the reaction was, to put it mildly, not a laughing matter.
The era of Trump family diplomacy cannot end soon enough.

Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***' C U Next Tuesday!
On Wednesday night's Full Frontal, Samantha Bee did a segment on the New York Times report that the government has lost track of approximately 1,500 migrant children who were torn away from their parents at the border and handed off the Department of Health and Human Services. Bee called out Ivanka Trump (who works at the White House when she's not trying to promote her brand in China) for tweeting a tone-deaf picture snuggling with her child as people were worrying about the missing children.
"You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another: Do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c***! He listens to you! Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fuckin’ stop it."
Rather than be angry about the fact that over a thousand children (CHILDREN!) are missing, the Outrage of the Day™ was over Bee's use of the C-word.
Both of the women's names were trending all day. Pro-Trump people were so outraged that Bee ultimately apologized.
Here are the best reactions to this whole day of outrage.
(Warning: the word is explicitly spelled out in a lot of the tweets below!)
