Looks like Ivanka is getting a very high security clearance. Certainly not the usual. Her qualifications are business gal. Daddy's favorite child and daughter.

So.What exactly is her role?? Is the grand plan to groom her for prez?? as in the first lady prez of the US??

just musing........ but it is a rather curious situation.

her role might be to "report back to daddy" ....?? After all dandy is not the most stable of persona with a good peppering of paranoia.

curiouser and curiouser.

Remember when Donald Trump appeared in Indiana to announce he’d saved 1,100 jobs at that Carrier and United Technologies were planning to send to Mexico?

His fans cheered and chanted, hailing him for saving all those jobs. Except, as the Washington Post later mentioned, those numbers were false.

United Technologies confirmed Friday that the first wave of about 50 layoffs happened last week at its electronics plant that had about 700 workers in Huntington. The plant in the northeastern Indiana city is slated for closure.

Steps are also being taken toward about 550 job cuts anticipated at a Carrier Corp. factory in Indianapolis, where Trump's intervention last fall curbed job losses but didn't halt them altogether. Layoffs could start within a month at a 350-worker Rexnord industrial bearings factory in Indianapolis, according to United Steelworkers Local 1999 President Chuck Jones, who represents workers at the Carrier and Rexnord plants.

Meanwhile, over in Southern Ohio, where Donald Trump’s promise to bring back those coal jobs took a hit this week as not one, but two coal plant closures were announced:​

WTF??? If they aren't keeping jobs, that means Trump is MAGA just by handing out taxpayers dollars to corporations with zero return benefit.

I got $100 that says none of the forum Trumpites can explain how the Carrier deal helps the average American. Any takers?

It is that alternate reality that the Trump gang lives in A stratosphere so rarefied that they lack the oxygen for functioning brain power.

Gotta wonder how long they can keep up this BS before the public wakes up and starts to demand some serious governing.
An aside but Trump is a security risk of the worst kind. and no one is interested in harnessing him in..IF that were even possible now.

he has to take the paycheck, congress demands it, and THEN give it out

"For these reasons, the first Congress refused Washington’s offer to serve without pay—and in doing so, consciously set a precedent for the future. It did not want to risk that Washington’s refusal would become the norm rather than the exception. As representative John Page of Virginia put it, “the Constitution requires that he shall receive a compensation, and it is our duty to provide it.” Note that Congress did not try to evade the spirit of the Constitution by providing him a token salary. Congress voted Washington an annual salary of $25,000; the president backed down and accepted the payment. It was an implicit recognition that future presidents could be corruptible, and should be bound to the public interest as tightly as possible.

Well, you've managed to refute one of the Dumpster's broken promises. Are you going to deal with the other 11? I'm guessing you're not.

A Last Chance for Resistance



The current administration’s budget proposes to give the war industry, the domestic policing agencies, the fossil fuel industry, Wall Street, billionaires and the national security and surveillance agencies more than they could have imagined possible before the election. These forces, as in all fascist states, will be the pillars of the Trump regime. They will tolerate Donald Trump’s idiocy, ineptitude and unbridled narcissism in exchange for increased profits and power. Despots are often buffoons. Appealing to their vanity and ego is an effective form of manipulation. Skilled sycophants can play despots like musical instruments for personal advancement.
Trump, like all despots, has no real ideology. His crusade against Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs, and the billionaire class during the presidential election campaign vanished the moment he took office. He has appointed five former Goldman Sachs employees to high posts in his administration. His budget will bleed the poor, the working class and the middle class and swell the bank accounts of the oligarchs. He is calling for abolishing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts and the cutting of programs that provide legal service to low-income people and grants to libraries and museums. If Trump’s budget is approved by Congress, there will not even be a pretense of civil society. Trump and his family will profit from his presidency. Corporations will profit from his presidency. Wall Street will profit from his presidency. And the people will be made to pay.
