It only means a truly despicable human being can learn tools of the "trade" from the very best institutions... They can't make her or anyone else become, what they are determined NOT to be.

And the care of the person.

None of that rubbed off on her.

Saying that going to Georgetown invests a student with ethics is like saying that going into a barn makes one a cow.

What a waste of an education.

I think some of these high-education Trumpists are just mostly cynical and selfish. Here's this recent graduate who is earning $189K or something like that. She can do that for a year or two, and then go and be on Fox News. She already has the bleached blonde hair and the penchant for wearing cocktail dress to the office. She'll fit right in at Fox.

Perhaps she was at the lower end of her class. She does not seem overly bright and constantly checks her briefing books. This seems unusual for a Georgetown, Oxford, Harvard graduate. With those credentials her mind and memory recall should be razor sharp. Maybe?

Budding spin person for the right wing. Not a natural like Kelly Anne and the Orange con man liar and cheat, but she will fit in perfectly at Fox.

I know this is trivial. But I find that caked on makeup look really distracting. She looks unhealthy. And she's a new mom -- she should glow.

As Congress tries relentlessly to squelch religious liberty and remove God from our public buildings, our schools, and our heritage, let's choose instead to honor the written word of Rachel Joy Scott this April 20th: "I am not going to apologize for speaking the Name of Jesus. I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put in me. If I have to sacrifice everything … I will."


The evangelical Christians who infamously carried Trump to victory now surround him, insulate him, advise him and steer his policies.
