1. BAM!

[mcar]

2. NYT strikes again

Another Trumpco puff piece.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. THIS.

9. For reference to Maggie/NYT

A great thread rebutting Maggie Haberman's Hope Hicks story

3. Truth in sarcasm noted n/t

[EveHammond13]

4. she is living with wife-beater Rob Porter in NYC

[Grasswire2]

5. Is she still getting paid by the RNC? Or working for a media enterprise?

Can't keep up.

[dalton99a]

8. She is chief communications officer and executive vice president at Fox

[sop]

10. Proof, yet again, we live in a true meritocracy

n/t

[SeattleVet]

19. Meritocracy?

Where was the /s (sarcasm) tag?

I think that the proper word is 'kakistocracy' (a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens).

[sop]

22. What? You don't believe this 30-year-old former fashion model and party girl

landed a job as White House Communications Director, then as chief communications officer and executive vice president for FOX, for any reason other than her emminent qualifications? Some cynics might say it was because Hope was so good at steam pressing Trump's suit and pants as he wore them, but I certainly don't believe that.

[Progressive Jones]

33. She blew right into that job with ease... nt

[whathehell]

42. Maybe you should blame the stupid men who hired her,

then, instead of her for having the temerity to be pretty?...Just a thought.

[xxqqqzme]

21. Oh, I initially read

that as mediocrity.

12. I like that Tiedrich better every time I see one of his tweets. n/t

[dmr]

13. Ain't that the truth

[Billy Ray Joe Bob.]

14. Broken system

Our justice system is broken. Imagine the average person saying, 'nope I ain't coming, screw that subpoen'. You would be behind bars so fast.

[Marcuse]

15. !

[patphil]

16. Now now, don't be too hard on the girl

she's just ethically and morally challenged.

[whathehell]

37. Nah

let's trash the girls!, especially the pretty ones -- they're easy targets, and much more "morally challenged" than the Trump boys, anyway, right?

[CDerekGo]

17. Often wondered

How these folks who ignored Congressional Subpoena's would ultimately be handled. Jailed, slap on the wrist, Arrested, but turned loose within minutes, only gaining time in front of the tv cameras?

But as Mr Tiedrich has stated, no POC have so far been subpoenaed, but then again, I'm talking about 45's staff, besides Omarosa, that could never occur.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. Getting real sick of this slide into a feudalistic society. nt

[LittleGirl]

20. Have you ever seen a photo of her besides Don Jr?

She is the spitting image of his twin.
Begs the question of she is Don Jr's sister.

[whathehell]

23. Aw gee, Jeff, you're just a privileged white MAN..

You really think you're in a position to preach?

[JI7]

24. sure he can. he compared the way she is treated to the way a black person is

he didn't claim white men were the ones being treated unfairly.

[StarfishSaver]

25. Yes, he is

Who better to call out white privilege than another white person, man or woman?

[whathehell]

34. Men of ALL colers enjoy more privilege than Women of all colors

so the "better" person to call out a 'privileged white woman' is actually another white woman, not a 'privileged white man'..
His own internalized sexism may distort his viewpoint, and he's already got his work cut out for him with his own group.

[StarfishSaver]

35. Black men do NOT "enjoy more privilege than Women of all colors"

You should do some research to disabuse yourself of this false notion.

White people of any gender should call out other white people of any gender when obnoxiously exploit their white privilege they display white privilege.

[whathehell]

38. Black men in this country got the vote BEFORE white women

That's a fact, and I can document it -- Can you do the same with your assertion? -- I doubt it, but I invite you to try.

[StarfishSaver]

39. You're joking, right?

Yes, the Constitution was amended to guarantee a black man's right to vote 55 years before it was amended to guarantee women's right to vote.

But here's the thing ...

Once women got the right to vote, white women were able to vote immediately, without restrictions or impediments. They did not have to fight for the next 100 years to actually exercise that right, they didn't have to have an Act of Congress passed in order for them to be able to vote and they weren't lynched, beaten, forced to take literacy tests, pay poll taxes, run of town when they tried to register and endure countless other indignities and threats to their lives. Black men and black women did.

In fact, black men and women are STILL fighting for that right that white women take for granted.

[whathehell]

41. Not in the slightest..

FIFTY FIVE Years, is a very LONG Time to excercise a right denied to another supposedly "privileged' group, geographic 'impediments' notwithstanding.

[StarfishSaver]

43. "Geographic impediments"?

You mean Jim Crow, lynchings, beatings, torture, firebombings, and the like?

No big whoop, I guess. Especially since black people could have just moved somewhere else to get around those "geographic impediments."

If you're joking, it's not funny. If you're serious, I feel sorry for you.

Either way, I'm not going to waste any more of my time discussing this with you.

[whathehell]

44. I believe we were talking about voting rights?

My use of the word "geographic" refers to the Jim Crow assaults on the voting rights of the AA community in the South.

[EffieBlack]

40. If you're gong to try to be a smartass

At least try to make sure you know what the hell you’re talking about.

[EffieBlack]

36. You can't POSSIBLY be serious

At least not if you live in America and are paying the least bit of attention.

[extvbroadcaster]

26. So true

I hate those interviews with "Trump voters" - they are always asked inane questions and they come back with nonsense about supporting Trump as President or how great the economy is. How about asking them what would happen if THEY ignored a subpoena?
Well, they would be arrested and thrown in jail. But Trump and his cronies can ignore whatever law they want. So it's one standard for them, another for everybody else. How about asking Trump voters if THAT is OK?

30. I still think she got that job because she's a real looker.

I still think trump fancies making her a conquest. He likes having attractive women around him because it probably makes him feel virile. And he fancies taking them to bed. Especially her.

The first time I got a look at her, what crossed my mind was "he wants to ball her. Maybe hasn't had the opportunity, but I bet he sure wants to."

[saidsimplesimon]

31. Nah, look at Kellyanne, medusa,

ugly hag, yet she is still in the "catbird" seat and the pretty bobble is history. This also applies to Steve Bannon. Evil has no gender preference.

Alert law enforcement - there's a dangerous criminal in our midst. How do I know? She looks guilty!
