Ivanka to the rescue!

I have MSNBC on in the background and just heard Greta Van Sustern say that Ivanka Trump Kushner will be moving in the WH as an adviser to Daddy Dearest. She'll have an office in the west wing, but not be an official employee of the federal government.

I wonder what Jared told her about how things are going in the WH? I would not be the least bit surprised if this is a move to cut Trump away from Bannon, Miller and company. They're not delusional like Donald and can see his administration is in free fall. I do find it ironic that Ivanka's good pals are Chelsea Clinton and hubby.

She will spend her day "managing" him.

It's simply beyond words that this man is president.

Given the past two months of catastrophic amateurishness,
I'm not sure how much more damage Ivanka can do.

Looks like Ivanka will be working on Saturday after all. Next she'll be living in the WH.

Bannon and Crypt Keeper Miller.

As for Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka, as of Inauguration Day, they hadn't spoken since Election Day. It's been awhile since January 20, though (it seems like years, doesn't it?).

could get a high level security clearance until all the intrigue surrounding that "luxury hotel" in a rundown, wrong-side-of-the-Potemkin Village neighborhood in Baku, Azerbaijan gets straightened out.
