because of all of the opprobrium being heaped on Ivanka of late , I bought a bunch of Ivanka's stuff from Lord and Taylor since they are so far still carrying it.

Appropriate opprobrium:

Bill's fashion = Steven Seagal in the 80's.
Hillary's fashion = Steven Seagal right now.

Yes. But that’s just Adele’s white privilege.

Looks like he dodged a bullet & escaped a lot of future opprobrium from the American mainstream:

I think Hillary deserves greater opprobrium. This shows much about her character.

Give a democrat a podium
And he spit without odium
Bald faced lies
And even cry
About Trump’s supposed opprobrium

Sorry, no thread today. Had my daughter at the ER late yesterday with a 103 fever.

Not the flu. It seems to have broken now.

In other words, “Clinton” is a synonym for “opprobrium.”

She measured normal this morning. She spiked up to 102 last night, but it is hopefully past now and she can get back to school tomorrow.
