I'm gonna run out of disgust pretty quickly.

    When Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, called Donald J. Trump shortly after the Nov. 8 election, they talked about domestic policy and infrastructure. But when Ms. Pelosi raised the specific subject of women’s issues, the president-elect did something unexpected: He handed the phone over to another person in the room — his 35-year-old daughter, Ivanka.

That might actually be good news, as long as she keeps thinking being the limousine liberal Trump is a good brand. I mean, we have no reason to think his daughter will have less influence than actual members of his administration.

I'm grasping at straws a bit here.

Yeah. Apparently meeting with Al Gore was her idea.

We now live in a world where we're hoping the President's unqualified children and inlaws hold more sway over him, not less.
