Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rips Ivanka Trump Over Viral Video of Awkward Conversation with World LeadersBy Tommy ChristopherJun 30th, 2019, 9:16 am
Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined in on the internet dogpile over First Daughter Ivanka Trumps viral video encounter with world leaders, remarking that being someones daughter actually isnt a career qualification.
On Saturday, a BBC reporter posted French government video of a candid moment between French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde that was presented as if Ms. Trump injected herself into the conversation.
Lagarde, in particular, appears irritated in the clip, although she also tweeted praise for Ivanka. The clip went viral, and led to a tidal wave of internet mockery, which AOC joined in on Saturday night. Retweeting the viral clip, AOC wrote It may be shocking to some, but being someones daughter actually isnt a career qualification.
It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on, she continued, adding The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldnt hurt either.

(63,221 posts)She is too stupid and to entitled to know just exactly how out of her league she is. You can tell by the body language of the others that they are politely trying to freeze her out.
I am embarrassed for her, but she and her family, especially her father, do nothing but embarrass this country every single time they go abroad. They are always so inappropriate and vulgar. It is amazing that people tolerate them the way they do.
Kind of remind's me of this

(14,173 posts)That is how tolerant good people are with these kinds of cretins. We focus on this new upsurge of intolerance in society, which is understandable, spearheaded by none other than the POTUS himself. But this situation has also re-defined tolerance. We all perhaps have a relative or a friend in a circle who we must tolerate annoying behaviour. I find it fascinating, maybe not in a good way, how much we will stretch our accommodation to include assholic behaviour. Most of us grew up conditioned to respect others, not act like bullies, or be a whiner, or complain you are being picked on, after a certain age. When its coming from the highest offices, it throws things upside down.
Thats where assholes like Trump and family come in. He takes advantage of average people's good will. He reliys on that tolerance so he can always be one step ahead into rudeness insults lies. He can switch back and forth, while most civilized folks can't or don't. Its a kind of advantage he always has.

I'm pretty sure some implants use silicone, not silicon. Silicones do contain organic groups.

Promise to refrain from ever posting about implants ever again.

Shes supposed to have designer-level taste and style? Lordy...
What will be stuck in my mind for the rest of my memory will be that 60 Minutes interview with the whole trump clan (klan?) right after the Russians stole our election for him. There was Ivanka seated in the front row with daddy and Melania on what I think was a sofa. Her brothers either were standing behind them or seated on tall stools.
Leslie Stahl, I think, was the interviewer. She asked donald something related to his post-election transition plans. But Ivanka was easily viewable on the shot. She was sitting demurely and watching. Then after a few moments, she brings one forearm up, bent at the elbow, and with a subtle sweep, moves that hand across to her opposite shoulder - and parks it there. Wrist sticking out. Which allowed her forearm a very obvious showcase.
There was a reason for that casual and nonchalant repositioning. You immediately noticed the slim gold bangle bracelet she had on that forearm arranged right smack-dab in the middle of her share of the shot.
Very soon thereafter, some observant individual had spotted a post on Ivankas fashion website or Instagram that said (paraphrasing here) Notice that bracelet Ivanka had on, during the 60 Minutes interview? Its yours for $10,000 from ivankatrump.com!

Notice she names Queen Christina specifically, but not Ivanka.
On edit: My bad. She does name Ivanka, not just lump her in with "many others." I am not adept at reading hashtags.
