On Thursday, as the House of Representatives voted to proceed with a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, his Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump first daughter, daughter first met the extraordinary circumstances of this historic moment with an unusual reaction of her own: She acknowledged that the dumpster shes sitting in is actually on fire.
surrounded by enemies and spies catching and perverting every word that falls from my lips or flows from my pen, and inventing where facts fail them. -Thomas Jeffersons reflections on Washington, D.C. in a letter to his daughter Martha.
Some things never change, dad!
Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) October 31, 2019
She did so in the most self-aggrandizing way, of course. Ivanka is capable of donning a mask of decorum, even a designer skinsuit of faux humility, when it serves a purpose. But in those moments of stress when her position is directly challenged, her Trump tends to show. In this tweet, Ivanka cast herself as Martha Jefferson Randolph, our third presidents daughter who also served as first lady since there was no pesky third wife in the way, and her own dear daddy as Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father whose face is on the nickel, not on a giant diapered-baby balloon that hovers like a revolting apparition over all the best political protests.
Yes, she compared an author of the Declaration of Independence to the author of this tweet featuring a clumsily photoshopped good dog:
In a sweeping subtweet aimed at everyone from House Democrats to the media to government employees who bother to tell the truth, according to Ivanka her father is surrounded by enemies and spies catching and perverting every word that falls from my lips or flows from my pen, and inventing where facts fail them. (I cant unsee the word pervert now, can you?)
...
Things have to be hot in the White House this week for Ivanka to break her own protocol of relentless self-promotion and emoji-laden administration cheerleading to post such a desperate message of direct support to her increasingly unhinged father, who spent Thursday morning weathering the public roll-call of his many facets of corruption inflaming his carpal tunnel as he rage-tweeted about witch hunts, CNN, and the Federal Reserve, among others.
Ivankas tweets that dont feature photo after photo of her being a #WomanWhoWorks, nodding solemnly at an issues table or smiling through a factory tour, generally fall into two categories: insipid Jared content and shameless correctives to her fathers grotesque actions and words and their fall-out. On Twitter, Ivanka is something of a human Poo-Pourri, deployed strategically to trap and cover the smell of her fathers latest debacle. Even the dumbest, smallest stumbles can be met by one of Ivankas stealth rejoinders. The internet mocks Trumps janky photoshopped-dog tweet? Ivanka posts a very normal one honoring the canine hero, the very kid of tweet Trumps less goonish supporters surely wish he would have gone with in the first place.
...
Ivankas job since childhood has been to make her father look better than he is, and it has paid off for her professionally, culminating in her current role in his administration. This is not to be confused with actually making her father a better person, or even convincing him to make better decisions, though some continue to be confused on that point.

Theres a common type of bra called a t-shirt bra with just enough lining to prevent the, um, show-through problem and all brands from economy to high end have them. You cant tell me that fashion mavens like Ivanka and Melania arent aware there are options to avoid those kind of pictures.

(4,103 posts)That whole Trump brand thing never made any sense to me, I found it to be nothing but a source of comedy, but here Trump is in the White House because he is able to make idiots think he cares about them.

(15,345 posts)This is evidence that America...and possibly the entire fucking world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.
Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teater, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything
My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.
I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE NANO-SECOND of my serious thoughts.
These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Paris, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER
Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.
I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously
This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.
