THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS for Princess Ivanka as she's in "extremely frantic damage control mode."

IVANKA TRUMP DESPERATELY TRIES TO REHAB HER IMAGE ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR
When Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner first took jobs in the White House in 2017, they presumably assumed that eight years later, they‘d return to New York and be crowned the king and queen not just of an exclusive social set but the city—nay, the entire globe. Vogue would put them on the cover of the September issue. Billionaires would beg them to sit on the boards of their companies to lend an air of credibility. People would scream, “I love you Javanka!” as they walked down the street. Politicos would constantly beg them to run for president. Penguin Random House would get into a bidding war for their memoirs, telling The New York Times, “That $65 million we dropped on the Obamas? Peanuts compared to what we’re shelling out for these two.” When being introduced at major conferences people would say, of Jared, “And now please welcome the man who brought peace to the Middle East!” World leaders would do whatever the opposite of pulling a “Who the f--k is this and why is she here?” face when approached by the first daughter.
Instead, they’re being unceremoniously booted out of the place after just four years, with significantly worse reputations than when they started. To be clear, no one was falling all over themselves to get an audience with the couple before Donald Trump was inaugurated but they weren’t reviled among the people whose opinions they presumably once and probably do still care about, with just a narrow portion of Manhattan reportedly looking forward to their return, and an open invitation from Staten Island to take the ferry out and put down roots. “Everyone with self-respect, a career, morals, respect for democracy, or who doesn’t want their friends to shame them both in private and public will steer clear,” a former friend of the couple told my colleague Emily Jane Fox, which probably has something to do with kidnapping and the possible prison sentences and the whole not-giving-a-crap-if-New-Yorkers-die-of-COVID-19 business.
Not surprisingly, the outgoing first daughter appears to be in extremely frantic damage control mode, attempting to prove, via tweets that should come with fact-checks, that the Trump administration isn’t the worst collection of people in modern presidential history. For instance, on Tuesday alone, Ivanka wrote this:
…which might sound impressive were it not for the fact that there’s a reason greenhouse gasses are down and it’s that her father (and husband) royally screwed up the country’s pandemic response, leading to the deaths of 250,000 Americans and a situation wherein no one can go anywhere.

It's far too late to repair the damage. They've all shown their asses and that can't be unseen. They're lives have been irreparably changed due to their association with Capt Trumps administration (if you can call it that). At least they'll have lives. That's more than can be said for the roughly 270,000 (probably more) who've died due due to their maliciousness and incompetence. Not to mention all the people who've survived with permanent damage to their probably shortened lives.
Tots and pears to the Plastic Princess and Wanker Jarred.

Albert Einstein estate corrects old Ivanka Trump tweet: No, he didn't say that
Jessica Estepa

Back in 2013, Trump wrote on Twitter, "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." She attributed it to Albert Einstein.
But after the tweet resurfaced over the weekend, the representative for the theoretical physicist's estate decided to step in on Monday.
"We can confirm that Albert Einstein never said this quote," Greenlight wrote on the Einstein Twitter account. It then suggested a handy read for anyone who may want to quote Einstein in the future: The Ultimate Quotable Einstein.
