A very long article inside Hope of 45 fame. Long but interesting. Stay tuned to see where she lands finally

......it is already clear the moment that Trump won.....that all....Hope is lost......

It's unsurprising that absolute loyalty was rewarded, and that a person with zero interest in politics would literally work just 10ft away from the Oval Office.

I liked this snapshot paragraph of the clusterf*ck that got elected:

from the article wrote:
Political genius wasn’t required to predict that the White House would respond to the Porter news by somehow making it even worse news. The story about Porter and Hicks became the story about Porter and the women who said he abused them. That became a story about the White House covering up Porter’s secrets, which became a story about Hicks and Kelly, which became a story about Hicks and Trump, which became a story about security clearance and Jared and Ivanka, which became a story about Kelly again. Eventually, it was just a story about who populates our anarchic new government and whether or not we can trust them.

Sugar, daddy?

I don't get it - she's pretty, and superficially at least seems relatively normal. Why is she hooking up with married creepy guys like Lewandowski or wife beaters like Porter? (...and what she sees in Trump...hoo boy!)

:dunno:

Oh well, not my problem.

Electra Complex?

Cory seems like the type of person you should want to just avoid at all costs. But I can see why 45 likes him, but don't understand what Hope saw in him.

For as long as he’d been in politics, Lewandowski had been defined by two qualities: his ruthless pursuit of an enemy’s destruction and always having an enemy. This was true even when it was small ball; in New Hampshire, he once fucked over a local official by claiming that his fantasy-football league, with a grand prize of $200, was an illegal gambling ring. By the time Lewandowski was done, the official had lost his job and was the subject of a criminal probe.

.....Hope....springs.....eternal.......???

What I find strange is that prettiness somehow inoculates women from being bad actors or a**holes in many people's eyes, whereas ugly people don't get a pass. I see other people doing this and I admit that I have to fight this tendency myself. To fight this tendency I think about Ivanka Trump, a world class a**hole married to one of the same.

I hope you didn't misinterpret my comment. She may well be an a**hole. I just don't understand why any single, young, good-looking person of either gender who's not in dire financial straits would end up catting around with a series of older, violent and/or married creeps.

:dunno:

I can only presume there's a backstory there...
