Hope Hicks Not Able to Perform Her Job

[RandySF]

PERSONAL NOTE: I don't like Hop Hicks for numerous reason, but I cannot judge her for her personal life as I recall watching a dear friend enter into a relationship with a guy we (the woman included) knew to be a total piece of crap.


Wall Street Journal: “In the West Wing press office, communications officer Mercedes Schlapp told some staffers to come to her with questions because Ms. Hicks was ‘dealing with a lot’ and ‘not able to perform the duties of communications director right now,’ according to three people familiar with the meeting. Two people described Ms. Schlapp’s move as a power play, while a third said Ms. Schlapp was only trying to protect the communications team.”

1. I wonder if...

...she has a black eye? Her make-up, hair and attire are always so perfect...

[janterry]

2. Then take a leave of absence

She has dated three people in the WH, no? We all know this is a mistake. At least one was married during her relationship.

She's a big girl. This way of life is a choice. Sure, she might figure it out eventually. But this is the WH. If she can't do it right now, take a leave of absence. Quit. But this isn't the time or place to close up shop and 'not be able to do your job.'

18. Hicks is no babe in the woods

She might do Stephen Miller next

28. No creature on this Earth could ever be that desperate.

[Joediss]

29. Agree

If All these people in the white house , including the president are ingrant to the rules , then they should not be there. I'm tired of repugs saying that he not use to these rules or regulations because he or she was a business person. Well if you aren't familiar with these rules, you never should accept the position. And if you put yourself in that position, then you ought to suffer the consequence. Everybody else out in the real world can't use this excuse and get away with it.

3. Aren't office romances supposed to be a big no-no?

I'm 71 and retired now. But during my professional career in Corp America, I completely avoided office romances. During the romance, women are called sluts to climb the corporate ladder, rather than be promoted on merit. And when the romance falls apart, there's tension in the office, and the woman gets gossiped about in very ugly terms.

[Dave Starsky]

10. I think it depends on the dynamics.

If it's a supervisor/subordinate situation, then it's absolutely inappropriate. If it's two people on the same team or in a small department, it should also definitely be avoided.

But if it's two people working independently in different areas, I don't see a problem with it. But, then, I say this as someone whose marriage is the result of a workplace romance.

13. My marriage, too, is the result of a workplace romance, as is my brother's.

Going on 27 and 30 years together, respectively.

And I completely agree with your assessment of when it is and is not a good idea.

That said, before getting married, I dated a lot of guys at my company. Most of them were perfect assholes, but none developed into anything awkward. Also, I stayed away from guys in my own department, and certainly away from guys who had any kind of authority over my job.

I think these days most people realize that it's almost impossible to meet people other than the ones you work with, especially in orgs where you work long hours and socialize within the company.

[Dave Starsky]

16. Absolutely.

You just reminded me that my brother married a lady from work, too. Twenty-two years and two kids.

There really isn't a better way to get to know someone's personality, reliability, likes/dislikes, etc. It's a hell of a lot better and safer than Tinder and the like.

[IluvPitties]

19. I married my colleague!

[Scarsdale]

4. So sad. Is Hope

still able to steam tRump's suits while he is wearing them? Reportedly, that is one of her duties. Someone in that inner circle is about to be Schlapped. I wonder if Ivanka will take over that very important job? We all know Maleria does not get close enough to trump to perform THAT duty, unless of course it comes with a huge paycheck.

[7962]

12. "about to be Schlapped..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You've won for this day, my friend. nt

[dewsgirl]

5. I wonder Ms.Schlapp is Matt Schlapp's daughter? I saw a

Pic yesterday of Hope Hicks in the oval office. It was her and a blonde, they looked like they were going clubbing. She had thigh high boots on and a mini skirt, it was posted by one of the correspondents from the pool spray.

[Zen Democrat]

8. She's his wife. Not a blonde.

[dewsgirl]

9. Thank you, you couldn't see the blonde's face, she was wearing

Jeans. Maybe it was casual Friday at the WH. I thought it may be Kellyanne.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. Looks like the crypt keeper to me

[dewsgirl]

24. She sure does, whoever it was had scraggly blonde hair like her.

[mnmoderatedem]

6. Well shit...

no one knows what her job even is.

[joshdawg]

7. She can't do her job?

Awwww. Cry me a river!

[magicarpet]

11. High drama Soap Opera at the West Wing....

...... will team tr-dump ever stop splashing around in the toilet and finally run this government like responsible adults ?

[dawnie51]

14. This is the plan......

in this continuous reality show. We are all living in The Truman Show now, but it's being written and produced by Dump and Co. And a large portion of America loves it. Meanwhile, the treasury is being looted and Russians are mingled in everywhere.

[Generic Brad]

15. Lendowski & Porter were probably her beards

There have been rumors that she has been having an affair with Trump. If so, why would he want her dating anyone else? That could also explain why he is reported to be blaming her for this latest debacle.

But then again, maybe they were not beards. Both times a relationship of hers is brought to light, the guy got fired.

[Dave Starsky]

17. I think she just has very flexible hip joints.

If you catch my drift.

And I think you do.

[BannonsLiver]

20. Which job is she unable to perform?

Because with that crowd, that could mean several things.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. Knob?

[MrsCoffee]

25. Impossible. I bet he has an innie.

It would explain so, so much.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. Microphallus

[MrsCoffee]

27. Exactly.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. Lookee....NSFW?

Art!

[MrsCoffee]

32. Oh my eyes...

Ouch.

That's unseeable now!

[Gabi Hayes]

33. I love the veinage

And his blue veined flute is too tiny to add any!

[MrsCoffee]

34. And that brown line running down the inside of his left leg.... ugggggggg.

Intended or not, it seems accurate.

[DFW]

30. Is the WSJ impying that Hicks is no longer Trump's girlfriend?

Because if she still is, I would suspect that her problem is that she is dealing with too little, rather than "a lot."

[MrsCoffee]

35. Lol. nt

[kentuck]

36. Hope Lewinsky.

Her reputation has probably been ruined forever.

[mercuryblues]

37. Screw her

I am sure her boyfriend's exes couldn't perform their jobs on several occasions. Right after he gave them a beat down. She helped cover for him.

[gopiscrap]

38. if she can't do her job either take a leave of absence

or be fired
