(19,204 posts)their other choices were Limu Emu (with or without Doug) and Larry the Cable Guy. Limu Emu and Larry cost quite a bit more than Ivanka.

So so sad it has gone to hell in a confederate MAGA hand basket.

Anyway, glad she's not speaking at any WSU.

Ivanka Trump called Wichita State University and WSU Tech's decision to cancel her commencement speech "antithetical to academia" after the schools canceled her speech amid criticism of the White House's response to protests against racist policing.
WSU Tech, a Wichita State-affiliated technical training school, announced Thursday that Trump would deliver a commencement speech to graduates Saturday afternoon during a virtual graduation ceremony for the school's 750-plus graduates. After backlash from Wichita State faculty, students and alumni, the two institutions released a joint statement late Thursday canceling Trump's speech.
Trump released her commencement speech, which she said was recorded on May 18, on YouTube and shared it to her 8.9 million Twitter followers on Friday evening. In a written statement, she encouraged students to "dream big and aspire to make the world a better place" and condemned the decision to cancel her address to graduates.

(15,359 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 Teeter, 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 Bakersfield, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER in our lives.
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.

And if you're lucky, some of you young ladies will marry as fine a man as Jared.
The thing about Jared is, you look at his eyes and it's almost like he's not really alive. See he has cold eyes...black, kind of like a dolls eyes, but when he grifts... those black eyes roll over white...ah, and then you hear that terrible high-pitched screaming
Be best! Oh wait, that's daddy's side bitch's line...
Thanks Ivanka"
