Unfortunately Kushner is in thrall to Trump from what I have read. I believe there was an article going around a while ago describing how much Kushner looks up to his father in law.

Yes. I have the same position. I mean you can have sympathy for someone and think they’re still not a good human being. Sympathy doesn’t mean blameless. I dislike Ivanka and I think she is a bad person by supporting Trunp either because she believes it or did it for money. But I can ALSO feel bad that her OWN father…

I’m sure she engages in a lot of mental gymnastics to justify it, but she’s hardly being “dragged around”; she’s a grown woman with her own (wealthy) husband, family and lucrative fashion brand. And she, indeed, has sung her father’s praises—news clips abound of her insisting what a “smart”, “terrific”, “great”…

#3 seems to be false or she’d have been at the Tower this weekend. Her husband is the one Donald turns to for advice. The idea that Trump listens to any woman, even Ivanka, is laughable. He does not consider women to be his, or any man’s, equal.

Your first paragraph makes me roll my eyes. She can walk away from her father’s money. If her business ability is what people say it is (it’s not, but let’s pretend), she should be able to get it financed on her own. She, her husband and children would not be out on the streets or on public assistance if she…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—I have no sympathy for her. She could have (and should have) jumped clear of this train wreck a long time ago. Instead she and her shitty husband did shitty things to enable her shitty father to spew more shit.

From what I hear, her “rich guy” is more like someone with a rich family and was only too happy to cozy up to Trump to become personally rich independant of his family. No support for her independance to look for there.

At a certain point in the growing-up process, a person has to accept that their parents are human beings with flaws. Ivanka’s continued apparent denial and defense of just how damaged and flawed her father is indicates either that she is okay with his horrific behavior or that she has failed to grow up in this very…

For real. She obviously aligned herself with his politics, so I don’t feel bad for her if that hurts her business or if she has to answer for his positions for years to come.

If refusing to get on the “aw, poor wittle thing!” bus, destination: Ivanka makes me a callous ass, then I will happily admit to it.

She’s a fucking adult, but doesn’t know how to stand on her own two feet without being propped up by her asshole father. Most people learn to distance themselves from such toxic family members, including parents, at a much, much younger age. She only has herself to blame for perpetuating the campaign’s lies so that…

She is an intelligent person with free will. She’s not a slave to her father. You can be an empathetic human and also refuse to pat the heads of evil.

She could stop defending her father, and better yet, publicly tell him to stop it.

I doubt it. If she had a good therapist she probably wouldn’t be so intimately involved with his campaign. In many ways she has taken the role a wife would traditionally take during a campaign.

Ivanka is fine, completely fine. We know from her brother that she is a “strong, powerful woman” who will not allow herself to be sexually harassed. Or, she might be doing what her father suggested she would do if she were harassed on the job and be looking for another father. Either way, she’s fine. Don’t worry, it’s…

Nobody said she’s asking for it. We’re saying she doesn’t deserve pity. She knows what kind of person her father is, and she’s still trying to sell him to the American public. Fuck. her.

She’s actively defended him in print against claims of harassment made by other women during this campaign. It’s not like she’s been tragically blindsided by this information.

Word. Not trying to pile on. I get that you get it. But I just can’t a miss an opportunity to say: fuck this morally bankrupt, greedy, spoiled little turd. Respectfully.

Ivanka has stated that her Daddy always told his children that they should find something to do that they absolutely love and that he would support whatever they decided. They all decided that their passion was a guaranteed position in Papa’s Lifestyle of the Rich and Grifting Enterprise. Ivanka chose her position.…

Sure, but her job depends on her Dad, and if she wants to inherit, she’ll need to keep him happy.
