Ivanka Trump to take official position as "Assistant to the President"

Am I the only on who sees this as a net positive?

Trump has never had any clue what he’s doing, and has always run questions through his daughter, his son-in-law, his barber, his toupé’s barber, and the reigning Miss New Jersey. But at least now one of those has to go through the motions of getting a clearance; and a secure, monitored email account; and an office in the white house where in theory we can better keep tabs on her.

Plus, considering who we have in office, aren’t we better off having hand on the rudder who’s at least young to have actually used the internet?

Sadly, I thought the same thing.

Then, even sadder, I thought about this:

Of course, WWLLD is a very ambiguous acronym in DC Comics.

I shortened it to What Would Luthor Do since people didn’t say What Would Jesus Christ Do.
Anyway, Luthor could have taken lessons on shittiness from trump.

And then after he was driven from the White House over some truly comic-book-epic-level scandals, he had nowhere to go.

So at least Trump is a slightly better planner than a comic book supervillain.

Had to read the summary in Wikipedia on Luthor’s removal from office.

That is some next level villainy. But I read it and replaced Luthor with trump and Talia Head with Ivanka (or a son) and it didn’t really seem that far off from a possible reality.

Then I read this line:
"Luthor serves fewer than three years"
Hopefully it doesn’t take 3 years to unseat trump.

Sure its not identical. But even her biggest claim to political fame, her child-care proposal, was more shitting on the poor because it only helps married women. And don’t forget she married Kushner who is basically a bannonite.

Yes, “better than Donald Trump” is the faintest of praise.

How does an apparently Orthodox Jew manage to support a verschluggener anti-Semite?

Though in G W Bush’s case it was more or less a stroll (while his thuggish supporters did the fighting in Florida).

Amazing how something that I’ve heard and read about a thousand times can still sicken me.

Is there a history of Democrats putting their family members in the White House as advisors? Trump is up to two now.
