    Man jewelry. For the status conscious ape in all of us.

      Well put.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        100 grand for a watch? Presumably it's accurate enough to tell us whether indeed one is born every minute.

          To be honest, it's more likely to trigger my inner Robespierre.

          I was only joking

              And just like that, political families and their speaking fees are jaw dropping and outrageous.

                        Maybe FuCa should ask her for an interview.

                          Do you think that Hannity from Fox News paid her?

                            I would suspect it to be unlikely.

                                When doing publicity for a book, one does not usually request payment. When approached by an oppositional media outlet and their cynical reach for ratings, I can understand it.

                                  That’s when you say no. Unless you’re the kind of woman for whom it’s always just a question of price.

                                    There's nothing unethical about requesting an appearance fee. CNN is free to say no.

                                        Thousands of copies of Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in a country that the former president has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices — China.

                                        Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March.

                                        The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible, according to databases that use customs data to track exports and imports. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.

                                          I wonder if his 60% tariff on china will have an exception for bibles…
