But she looks like Ivanka? That's all the qualies she needed.

The vetting is Does she look like Trumps daughter Will she let Trump fuck her

That’s pretty much it

I think it comes from the conservative mindset that someone competent and capable in one field will be similarly competent and capable in other fields

Simply put: They believe in a hierarchy. Some people are imherently better at everything than others

She was competent and capable in her previous role of being an ass kisser. Because she was able to butter Trump up, it was assumed she would be good at any role, and she had "the look" Trump wanted (she looked like his daughter)

It's just "is she hot", that's all they care about. Also, their idea of hot is terrifying.

Background checks at fast food restaurants are more thorough than the vetting process that goes into Whitehouse staff in this admin. Would not be surprised if it's chock full of spies.

If you wm has skills for this job (or maybe you already do) would you be willing to apply of the last person quit because the president used her as decoy when there was a real threat.

I think only dumb people would still be interested. Looks like they had to wait to even find her.

In a sane world after all the "fallout" from finding out they did zero vetting with a lot of iSSe goons you'd think they'd start doing a tad better for higher profile positions.

But then again in a sane world iSSe wouldn't exist and this orange kid diddler would be fucking locked up in jail

Half a mooch is now a Zacharia

Idk, 5 business days seems like a full working mooch?

Might even be better now .?

We should start using sliced avocados

You really gotta give up pretending or imagining anyone is holding republicans to the same standard as Dems

It's like the "only democrats have agency" thing. We as a society don't seem to hold republicans to any sort of standard. They're like a fire that burns or a plague that spreads. You can't expect a fire to be polite.

Except they're not an elemental force of nature. They're people. People with names and addresses and free will. They should be held accountable.

This really is Biden's fault if you get down to the basic facts...

LMFAO, this is awesome

Who the hell dresses like a flight attendant for their first Whitehouse press appearance? (Besides her)

Even Solomon Grundy had a better run.

got my crypto wallet ready for the totally-not-a-rug-pull Zacharia coin thats bound to show up in the coming weeks

Already working on that book

Supporting Trump was always about making MAGA feel good about themselves, feels not reals. Trump's actual policy outcomes almost never mattered.

Perhaps the main policy point of Trump was anti foreign adventure, alongside being anti-immigration and anti-inflation. And now Trump has started an optional war in Iran which is arguably even stupider than Bush II's Iraq War. Which has caused inflation to sky-rocket. And the national debt is spiraling out of control. And yet, 76% of Republicans still approve of Trump. I don't think most people realize how literally insane the loyalty of the Republican voter base is.

I wonder if any of trump’s supporters remember that

The bulk of them don't have memories longer than that twar held her position.

.45 of a mooch. She's not even half the mooch he used to be.

I keep wondering how Tuesday to Friday works out to "five days"

Between the way he talks about Ivanka, the way he interacts with her in public, and those creepy-as-fuck pictures of the two of them together, it was already obvious to anyone with half a brain that he desperately wants to bone her

Hold my beer.

Dang, he's still so crisp and tasty

I'm getting to where I think a full Steven Cheung denial is the best possible endorsement of truth available. His tears of indignant rage just seem to light the last candle on the cake of whatever exposé is going around this time.

Big Cheungus!

Never forget!

In all fairness, if you know going to be asked tough questions, you want a propagandist that can gaslight on the spot, not a slackjaw going "DURRRRRRRRR, me laaaawwwwwyerrrrrrr HURRRRRR"

Ah well, valuing loyalty > competence strikes again, shocking nobody. I might actually watch SNL this weekend, though.

Do you confuse the President with your husband?!?

Do you swallow?

Were you once normal looking and at least somewhat attractive but have since morphed into some weird jigsaw blowjob machine animatronic?

Given Trumps history, its possible she was doing a lot of "jobs" for Trump when she was much younger.

I wonder how right wing tabloids plan to spin this, as they were talking about her like she was a golden goddess

And seriously maybe Trump get distracted too by their breasts, which is why he doesn't notice that everything coming out of these people's mouths is unbelievable crap (including his own).

At least that would probably become yogurt.

I personally believe, that, US americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have the answer and I believe that our education like such as South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US, it should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

Amen.

the homewrecker, i almost forgot about her.

This week the Washington Post released an exposé of the donors to the ballroom fund. You know, the one Trump swore would be used to pay for the new ballroom project that he would help fund himself. The one that never abided by actual donation laws but remains controlled by a PAC that steers the cash into a private account belonging to Trump, all with zero transparency or oversight. The one that has taken in over $350 million in unnamed donations so far. That one.

Absent from the list is Trump himself, who has said that he is helping to pay for the project.

Later in the article:

But the documents show that the vast majority of the funds raised came from companies and wealthy individuals with interests before the federal government.

Companies or executives of firms that have had contracts with the federal government during Trump’s second term accounted for about half of the total, The Post found.

It's well worth reading for the donor list alone, but those are the highlights. This is the c/Politics discussion: it contains both the original WaPo link (paywalled) and free options to read the content.
