A pampered Princess all her life, Ivanka Trump has no idea how the world works.

(18,318 posts)The republicons and the phoney christians made sure public education would become a place not worthy of a good learning environment. When you stop teaching how to use critical thinking skills you have lost the battle.
That's why the church can manipulate people into giving them their hard earned money, all the while preaching hate instead of love. Love doesn't exist in their universe. Jesus would be so this is not what I was teaching, fools!

I would love to be a fly on the wall and hear what they really think of these two grifters.

(14,689 posts)And in another "Imagine if you will" moment....
Can you imagine the reaction, not just on Fox News, but all the MSM, of an elected President Hillary Clinton dragging Chelsea and Bill around on important international meetings like this, and allowing her daughter top security access and a paid salary as an "advisor"? And getting into photo ops with world leaders looking so entitled to be there.

That is a straight up old school ASS whooping by AOC LOL
True Dough
(26,674 posts)the vast majority of those responses to Morgan took him to task for being sub-human.
Takket
(23,715 posts)it is amazing drumpf is supposedly at 40% approval, or maybe its just because she does so well with white/elderly fox viewers who aren't on twitter? because when i read comments on political issues the "left" replies usually outnumber the right about 20:1

Ivanka is fucking trash . so because Ivanka is trash you have to attack someone for having been a bartender ?
JI7
(93,617 posts)which IVanka lacks as we saw in that clip . which is why they have to try to attack some random brown woman who made it on her own.

And no, Ivanka would never have worked as a bar-tender, she doesnt have the brains or dexterity to mix a drink, and she would always be afraid of ruining her nails.
Ellen Forradalom
(16,187 posts)Rupert Murdoch made him editor of News of the World--the paper that folded over the phone hacking scandal--in 1994.
While working at Daily Mirror, he was in charge during the period that the paper was implicated in the phone hacking scandal.....[C]omments made in Morgan's testimony about phone hacking were "utterly unpersuasive" and "that he was aware that it was taking place in the press as a whole and that he was sufficiently unembarrassed by what was criminal behaviour that he was prepared to joke about it".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Morgan
So yeah. He'd be a failure as a bartender. That would require honest work.

Oh right, you thought it was shameful that Democrats in congress were pointlessly spending their valuable time just "investigating," instead of "acting!"
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=12237162
"Its time to take some action," you said about those Democrats who are just "investigating, "This is life or death for people."
Getting into Twitter wars with tabloid TV hosts on the other hand... Change of heart?
Bluepinky
(2,549 posts)Im upset that people, including children, are living in horrendous conditions, are forced to drink water out of toilets and are sick and dying. If youre okay with that, thats your choice. I dont know what else to do but verbalize my frustrations.
Im not on Twitter, dont follow Piers Morgan and dont care about him. I havent attacked you, and Im requesting you not attack me. Put me on your ignore list if my posts make you angry.
ehrnst
(32,640 posts)But were indeed exasperated at 'other' Democratic leaders who were merely "investigating" instead of paying attention to 'life and death' issues.
That has to be embarassing, I understand. Using the "ignore" feature might be a good idea for you to deploy if people remembering what you post is bothersome.
Bluepinky
(2,549 posts)If so, Im not embarrassed by my previous support for him, I think he stood a good chance of beating Trump in that election. Hes not my first choice this time, unless he wins the primary. Whoever wins is who Ill vote for. As of now, my top choices are Warren, Harris, Buttigieg (and Biden, if he has the best chance).
We need to start impeachment hearings on Trump before the election, preferably ASAP. Even if an impeachment vote isnt taken, the hearings will show that the Democrats are taking action and will air additional crimes committed by Trump et al. He wont be able to keep saying he hasnt done anything wrong. Also, I think waiting for the next election is a mistake. The GOP is planning to try to steal the next election, we cant assume a Democrat will win.

(2,274 posts)Is without a doubt one of better "come back" artists I've ever seen or heard. Why would anyone in the world even TRY to get the better of her on social media is beyond me. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez gives this old white guy hope for our country as few other politicians do.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)She doesnt say I think this or that. She just tells the simple truth which overwhelms her enemies. They cant handle it because their intent is to put her on the defensive which they cant because her response is not about any biased opinion she may harbor. She also doesnt attack them personally the way they attack her. She wins every time just on the merits of the truth she states. She cuts Gordian knots, cuts to the quick, exposes the basic essence of any argument, refuses to be backed into any corner because she owns all the corners, and invariably exposes the truth.
You just cant argue with her when your approach is to belittle her because she truly has no time for that crap. She slaps it away with a single swing and returns it with a bullseye rejoinder, not even bothering to make it subtle.

As always, Im proud of my work in restaurants.
I also worked for Sen. Ted Kennedy, piloted literacy projects in the South Bronx, studied Development Economics in W Africa, served as an Educational Director & won international science competitions before I ran for office, too.

Working people that GOP dismiss as just a waitress/cook/etc contain multitudes, & are just as capable & intelligent as anyone.
Classism - judging someones character by their income - is disappointing to see from them.
