1. Man I feel so much better.......

[Kahuna7]

12. LOL. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

2. She is protecting him because she knows his mind isn't working properly.

[Horse with no Name]

5. she is protecting their "brand"

that really is all that matters.

[Achilleaze]

21. + 1000

Crass complicit republican grifterette

[riversedge]

28. +1

[herding cats]

47. This!

That's exactly what she's doing, along with feeding her own inflated ego a bit. She's very much her father's daughter. They're more alike than many people realize, she's just not as unhinged as he is...yet.

[Alice11111]

25. That's for sure. She stays right by his side. She couldn't

Even take maternity leave herself. He was unhinged.

[True Dough]

3. Obligatory

[Botany]

4. And it just keeps getting more and more weird.

My guess is Ivanka doesn't want the daddy is batshit crazy meme to get more fuel.

BTW what are Ivanka's qualifications anyways?

******

This was a coup and we have treason.

[Brother Buzz]

38. I heard she's a whizz at spelling and grammar corrections

[chia]

6. Cue the Twilight Zone music

It feels like the American system of government as we knew it has already died and we're living in some sort of zombie alternate political universe and everyone's pretending that everything is normal.

[smirkymonkey]

53. That's exactly how I feel!

Almost as though I am walking through a nightmare that I can't wake up from.

[chia]

64. Do you feel like you just want to walk up to people and grab them by the shoulders and shake them

and say "WAKE UP!!!!!"

[smirkymonkey]

69. Yes!!

It's like the Emperor's New Clothes. Everyone is gushing with praise over the Emperor's new clothes and you are the only one who can see that he's naked. You yell out to the crowd "He isn't wearing anything" but people still insist that his clothes are the finest they have ever seen and they convince both the Emperor and each other that his attire is truly exceptional.

You are just standing there, dumbfounded, because you can't believe that other people can't see what is so clear to you.

That is pretty much how I feel about Trump, but at least I have some reasonable people in my life who agree with me. But the fact that so many people cannot clearly see the horror that is Donald Trump makes me feel insane sometimes.

[chia]

71. simpatico...

Exactly, and that goes for public figures (in government, in media) and everyday encounters with regular citizens. If Hillary was doing the kinds of things that Trump et al. are doing, those same would be screaming from the rooftops.

Speaking of Hillary, she was slammed by Time Magazine's Tim Elliot in a quote that was twisted off its context like an unripe peach:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/05/02/this-one-clinton-quote-shows-why-her-supporters-hate-the-media/?utm_term=.5c43b666d3e0

Which reminds me again how complicit the press has been in the ascension of Trump. Why in the world should Trump and his minions be decrying the MSM when the MSM helped him get where he is?

I have to be so selective today about the media voices to whom I'll give any part of my trust.

[Tanuki]

58. .......

[dalton99a]

62. Perfect depiction.

[chia]

63. Okay that's perfect

Thanks for that. I think.

[we can do it]

7. Jared writes, Ivanka reads and dumpt signs.

[Alice11111]

33. Pretty much it. Much better Ivanka, than Bannon.

She and Jared did challenge Bannon about the NSC, and got him out, and control to McMaster. They may not have been elected, but it I think they mitigate the damage at times.

Too bad they don't take his phone away. Don't get it. He says he doesn't email though, but still the unhinged tweets can do real damage.Remember when they took Obama"s Blackberry and he was a very cautious person.

[WinkyDink]

8. It's tres amusing to imagine the R-W conniptions were this done by, say, Chelsea or Ron, Jr.

[RedWedge]

9. Unacceptable.

[kacekwl]

10. You mean a trump may

actually read some of his crap.

[tanyev]

11. Ivanka, if you didn't think Daddy was capable of doing this job,

you should have used your considerable influence to keep him from running. Complicit, indeed.

[Raster]

24. He had to run... the Russian money candy store was threatening to withhold lollipops...

...If Jarvanka* are anywhere near as smart as they and others make them out to be, they BOTH SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that tRump* does not now have --and probably never did-- the mental acuity to serve as POTUS.

[Freethinker65]

13. Cognitive decline progressing worse than expected, Ivanka?

We, as a family, went through this ourselves with my dad. Ivanka will need some respite soon. She cannot be the primary caregiver and de facto leader of this country.

[Hekate]

32. He needs watching 24/7 as he already gets in trouble when Jared is off davening. Who fills in ...

...for the two Enablers-in-Chief when they are in foreign lands or with the kids?

[Alice11111]

36. It is obvious.

[Ilsa]

48. Nailed it. Now, what will anyone in charge do about it? nt

[Docreed2003]

14. So he's no longer capable of reading and understanding his own EO's???

It's amazing that there's no pushback our outrage over this from the media yet. Just amazing....

[PJMcK]

37. It's already clear that he doesn't read the Executive Orders (n/t)

[Docreed2003]

39. True...this just cranks the absurdity up to eleven!

[Lucinda]

15. ...

[PoorMonger]

16. If True

Then we can publicly blame and shame her for every terrible EO he puts out.

Should we start calling her president Ivanka yet?

[2naSalit]

26. "resident" maybe...

or first wench? I despise the whole clan at this point and want them out of my White House and out of the country.

Czarina seems to think she's got some kind of intellect...

[Hekate]

30. She's the Crown Princess of the Mad King. Bannon's still trying to play President.

Actually, I'm not sure where Bannon is these days, but he sure was potus in the beginning.

[Ilsa]

49. "This is my internship for when I run in 2020." nt

[Deb]

17. Does the GOP base know they elected a woman for President?

OUTTA OUR HOUSE THIEVES!!!

[Xolodno]

18. Woodrow Wilson.

Looks like we got ourselves a second unofficial female President.

[underpants]

19. What, spellcheck? Shouldn't lawyers and policy people do that anyway?

Trump doesn't understand that simply agreeeing and praising your boss/father doesn't make you smart.

[hatrack]

20. "I'm really, really trying to learn", she added - straight from the NYT

“I do believe that in time I’ll get to the right place,” she said. “In the short run I’ll have missteps, and, in some cases, I’ll take shots that I could have avoided if I had publicly said what I think.”

“I’m really, really trying to learn,” she added.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/us/politics/ivanka-trump.html?smid=tw-nytpolitics&smtyp=cur

Reassuring, isn't it? Butterfly Princess Grifty Sof-Tone (TM) is going to really, really try to advise Daddy President!

[Ilsa]

51. Oh great. Another trump who repeats adjectives, adverbs, superlatives, and interjections.

really really

How long before we're hearing very very, horrible horrible, etc?

[FakeNoose]

55. She got her law degree from Trump University

... which is to say ... no degree at all.

[procon]

22. What's she looking for... fashion tips? nt

[Sculpin Beauregard]

23. I can't wait until the whole crime family is penniless and in prison.

Think Ivana is up to raising grandkids?

[irisblue]

34. not without a nanny, maid, assistants. Not alone

[Hekate]

27. Daddy belongs in assisted living, Ivanka, and we did not elect YOU.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

29. At least she's not signing them... yet

[irisblue]

31. We did not elect that woman. She is a private citizen. She has no right

No f-ing right to do this.

[WinkyDink]

42. As President, Trump can probably ask anyone he wants, to read any E.O.

[Tanuki]

35. Much like FLOTUS Edith Wilson after President Woodrow Wilson had a massive stroke

and became incapable of carrying out the duties of his office:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Wilson
..."President Wilson suffered a severe stroke in October 1919. Edith Wilson began to screen all matters of state and decided which were important enough to bring to the bedridden president. In doing so, she de facto ran the executive branch of the government for the remainder of the president's second term, until March 1921.[1][2] She was the first First Lady to assume presidential functions."....

[Alice11111]

40. Regan also was propped up at times near the end.

I guess it helped him with the Iran Contra testimony, as he really couldn't remember. Inadvertently, he taught future defendants the best way to answer.

[samnsara]

41. shes eiyher reading them to her dad cuz he cant or...

..they are afraid that since trump doesn't read them, someone will slip something in. Here sign this.....

[JudyM]

44. Exactly. The good sign here is: WHO don't they trust?

[Blue_Roses]

70. Exactly

I for one am glad she is doing this even though it's the most bizarre thing...

[Solly Mack]

43. lol. That just screams faith in daddy's competence. lololololol

[Mr. Ected]

45. Let me get this straight: he neither writes nor reads these Executive Orders

Executive. Orders.

This guy delegates everything except his last name.

[VOX]

50. "Delegates everything but his last name."

Terrific! You rock!

[Ms. Toad]

46. The good news is that at least someone will read them before they are signed. n/t

[Bleacher Creature]

52. Ha ha!! Very funny!!

Wait, this isn't a joke?

[blueinredohio]

54. She has to read them

to make sure they make sense. Everyone knows he has dementia but when they are used by other people (all his kids, Pence, Bannon, and the rest of the republicans) who use him to further their own agendas isn't that elder abuse?

[unblock]

56. Will she review launch orders, too?

[brush]

57. So she's taken over the presidency from Bannon, huh? Neither of them was elected to anything.

Why would she have to review EOs?

That's just about an open admission that trump himself is unable to understand the orders himself.

He should be the one reviewing them, right?

[3catwoman3]

59. She is to her father what...

...Nancy was to Reagan.

Could she at least PLEASE get him to stop showing off his fucking signature every time he signs one? Like a 2 yr old with his finger painting from preschool - "Mommy, Mommy! Look what I did today."

(Or maybe more like the toddler who was left alone in his crib too long and has smeared poop all over the wall.)

[erpowers]

60. Trump Mentally Unstable

Is this another sign that Donald Trump is mentally unstable? Is she doing this because she knows he does not understand the executive orders he is signing?

[L. Coyote]

61. Just because she doesn't have dementia doesn't mean she's compentent at American law.

To review executive orders you need a total knowledge of the body of related law.

[Thrill]

65. This shit seems like a bad joke

But it's real

[Efilroft Sul]

66. Yeah, but only until Melania moves into the White House.

[Equinox Moon]

67. Who is Jon Cooper?

And how does one tweeted comment make this the definitive truth?

[Demtexan]

68. Just call her Madam President.

Her dad is to stupid to be president.

[NastyRiffraff]

72. There was one person who should have been the first woman president

and it's definitely not Ivanka.

I'm still mourning what we almost had, and lost.
