from her father?
If Trump doesn't want to talk anymore, shouldn't he hang up? Or let COS Mick Mulvaney take over? Or VP Pence?
Justifiably there is malingering outrage of how First Lady Edith Wilson read government documents and signed bills on behalf of her husband, Woodrow Wilson, when he was disabled by a series of strokes. She was effectively the unelected President of the United States.
Ivanka is unlawfully performing the duties of the presidency.

(9,426 posts)right there, on daddy's lap, so she just took over the conversation. By this time, the world leader had probably given HIS phone over to an underling after listening to tRump ramble on and on. ABC interviewed Hunter Biden. When will the tRump "kids" be put on the spot about their overseas dealings?

My frustration is that my congressman is a tool of this cabal, and representing my voice in Congress is prevented. My Congressman should be transparent, not a Republican tool.

The so called "commander in chief" has lost control of 50 nuclear weapons......

(11,885 posts)Looks like trumps setting up Pence to use as an excuse to replace him on his ticket, then insert her as his VP. Trump dislikes and doesn't trust Pence, he trusts her for protection , and setting her up to let her do everything for him then, while he plays more golf, and gets more corrupt deals for himself to profit from. That's why he's including her in these calls, he's grooming her to replace Pence., and be assured she'll pardon him. This family is a criminal organization, and they should be in prison, not corrupting OUR government.

(10,721 posts)Secondly, the media has a warped sense of what constitutes fairness.
A simplified example of what I mean: If candidate A commits 100 crimes and candidate B commits 1 crime, the media will strive to spend equal time on the crimes of each candidate. 50% of the time on 1 crime and 50% of the time on 100 crimes. Because, you know, that's fair.
