mentioned in the news now. I want all of them to go down. My family gives Ivanka a pass because she is beautiful and appears to be more moderate compared to Trump. Bull..she is every bit her fathers child or else she would not marry someone as crooked as Jared. She also would not be silent when he says/does despicable things. I dont think any of them deserve a free pass.

(14,176 posts)She never really thought much on her own. A clothing line? Of course, every other wealthy socialite with a name was doing it too. Hardly a big leap. And I'm sure she has had a very minor role in the actual designing.
I see her as more of a weakling, ignorant, and frightened at the world outside her bubble. So she has clung to her daddy, and is so used to putting on blinders around him, just accepting all his assholery all her life, to be able to live in luxury. She has no qualms with her fathers actions or words, because she literally does not possess the where-with-all to even know HOW to form her own opinions. She is one of the first members of the Trump cult. She is so brainwashed and frightened of her own father that she has convinced herself that her brother is right, and that everyone else is wrong. I'm not saying she is innocent. She knows her family is a crime based family, knows her father is a despicable person, but, like any great cult, it gives its followers the mental ability to convince yourself that everything is just fine. She is still complicit, because she has the intelligence to fight through the brainwashing and do the right thing, but chooses the family's ill gotten wealth and acceptance by her daddy over any moral obligations.

(8,445 posts)Just like her father, she bluffs her way through life. No substance. She didn't attain anything she has through hard work.
She might have repukes fooled by throwing out a big word here and there (often misused), but I think most genuinely intelligent people can see right through that facade.

(86,775 posts)They better have their passports taken away so they can't flee to points unknown. Jared has been trying to skip out on a summons or the like for weeks, fucking weasel. I suppose they could be extradited but what fun is that? I want to see them perp-walked out of the penthouse.

(8,445 posts)I'm always baffled when people say that Melania is beautiful. I see nothing remotely attractive about her.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)such a subjective thing, but I confess being unable to understand why someone couldn't understand why others consider beautiful women by current standards to be beautiful is baffling to me.
Perhaps you're a visitor from the middle ages when very different standards of beauty prevailed?
When eyes and eyebrows were extremely downplayed, admiration for extremely high foreheads caused hanks of hair to be pulled out religiously, small mouths were admired, and wide mouths and big smiles were considered downright vulgar and ugly...? That would explain it.
My god, she's stunningly gorgeous!

(8,445 posts)I saw a photo of Melania without makeup. She's just a plain Jane. She wears expensive makeup and clothes, but underneath, she's just nothing special. JMO

(58,785 posts)being hunted, totally expected.
I've heard that it can work, depending on circumstances. Showing potential prosecutors that being found out caused illegal behaviors to cease may cause them to pass on prosecution and move on to more important targets. Conversely, challenging the justice system with continued malfeasance is probably not a good idea.
