The definition of a* succès fou.*
Without the succès. Poor old thing was never any good at following through.
Well, not yet. However, once Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell get on board with knocking that so-called “Constitution” law off the books we can get on with ruling the country with a tiny iron fist.

Well, maybe. But I still think we ruled out putting him into an induced coma too quickly.
This.
Czarcasm,
Any acknowledgement?
Ah, but did those sons have secured phones and computers?
Hilary Clinton during Bill’s Presidency?
I thought the reason for giving Ivanka an office in the WH was self-evident – when Donnie wants a blow job he doesn’t want to have to wait for her to go all the way across town.
OK, I admit it – I’m tired of going high all the time when they always insist on going low. So I’m going to take the Pub stance on this:
I’ve heard that she’s fucking him from a lot of people. Many people. I’ve heard it bigly.
I don’t know that it’s not true.
Conway: “Jake, there is nothing wrong with the love between a father and a daughter. It’s a beautiful thing, and it just reinforces the genetics that have made President Trump one of the most successful businessmen in the history of humanity. I don’t know we keep bringing up the vote. Mr. Trump swept the Electoral College by a larger margin of any candidate since Oliver Wendell Holmes.”
Tapper: “Kellyanne, I don’t…you…Oliver Wendell Holmes was never elected to the presidency. He didn’t even run for elected office. He was an appointed Supreme Court justice!”
Conway: “Jake, you can continue to try to delegitimize the president with this ‘false history’ narrative, but Neil Gorsuch is the most qualified nominee for the Supreme Court since Circeo.”
Tapper: “We weren’t talking about Neil Gorsuch, Kellyanne! And Circeo was an orator in Rome nearly two thousand years before the Supreme Court even existed.”
Conway: “Well, I don’t know what you’re upset about, Jake. Clearly Mr. Trump welcomes people of all nationalities and convictions as long as they aren’t infiltrating our great nation to blow up federal buildings in Oklahoma or rape and murder housewives in Chicago.”
Tapper: “Are you referring to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and mass murderer Richard Speck? You realize that none of those people were immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, right?”
Conway: “I don’t know anything about that, Jake, those are your words.”
Tapper: “Fuck me sideways. I don’t even know what I’m doing here.”

No, parents were stricter back then. They had to choose one of the other. If they wanted both they could get a job mowing lawns on the weekend and buy it themselves.
I know you’re trying to mock Trump here. Still, ew. I’d prefer we leave this sort of thing to the Pit.
Coincidentally, I came across another example today. When Rutherford Hayes was President, he used his son Webb as a White House assistant.
I also found out that Hayes’ family and friends called him Rud.
They shoulda called him “Happied”. Then they could celebrate his arrival.
Well, his return, anyway.

Ya got that right!

I may have already been ninja’d, but I believe that a widowed President some time in the past had his daughter carry out hostessing duties of FLOTUS.
Well, it’s difficult to conceive of her knowing any LESS…
HEY-OHHHH!
With your permission, I would like to recommend for your perusal the collected works of Jackie Collins, with particular emphasis on the character named Lucky Santangelo.
Hilarious, even if you did screw up the famous Roman rhetorician (Cicero. Circeo, IIRC, was the sixth Marx Brother).
Trump isn’t a widow. His wife just prefers to avoid him, for now. (I can’t say I blame her.)
First Ladies generally have offices in the East Wing. Their duties involve coordinating the busy White House social calendar & each one usually picks a “project.” Not Ivanka. Of course, Hillary Clinton did far more (or tried)–at the time, the Republicans were miffed.
This whole Ivanka caper is not my biggest problem with the Trump Regime. Just a tacky little sidebar. She does know something about fashion–I shudder to think how Daddy Trump would dress without her influence…
