(14,173 posts)that Ivanka had to put her foot down about marrying a Jewish person? That her father wasn't initially very happy about it? And that even now, he privately wishes it did not happen so he could REALLY say what he thinks.

Breitbart had to be told to cut back on criticizing Jared.

(14,173 posts)That saw dollar signs everywhere when their father was elected. And the prestige of being the First Family. Their silence is deafening though.

It comes packaged as part of the embryo that is raised in a gluttonous and hostile-to-others world.
Maybe they feel some shame but I think the fear of losing the golden flows is far greater.
Once Putin and other oligarchs stop lending money to the poor Drmpfs, the little rats will leave the ship. Fortunately the daughter can probably land a gig in a pleasure house - for a few more years; sons and sonny-in-law will need to show their acumen/chops to real businesses.

(21,635 posts)The white supremacists identified thus far include a lot of minimum wage workers who drove and flew long distances to get there - something that's very hard to do at $7 or $8 an hour.

(49,001 posts)But in fact, I haven't heard any of the nazis and supremacists, or even anybody there at all, say they were paid to be there and try to prove it.
Those guys you are talking about were not minimum wage. For example, the cook at the restaurant in Berkeley surely does not make $8 per hour or even Cal minimum wage.
If you have any credible proof of your assertion, please show it. Or reply to say that you can't show anything.

(15,242 posts)We all do make presumptive associations and statements. Of course it is very hard to get evidence of money or directives flowing between parties. We can hope/guess(or not) that our powerful intelligence agencies know everything but they can't tell us, etc.
However I do know that when a gun bill was coming up for a vote in my little state, buses of outside-of-state hunters (or actors in orange) were brought in to protest.
I'm not really sure why the Koch's and Adelman-type characters want to foment this type of hatred. This is a major question that needs to be answered. Since they only operate to increase profits - perhaps long-term - can they benefit by civil disruption and/or civil war? There must be some learned dissertations that talk about following the money in these cases.
