Is She Really an Adviser If Trump Won’t Take Her Advice?
“It was Groundhog Day, dystopia edition, yesterday morning when the president banned all transgender servicepeople from the U.S. military, unfurling yet another reversal of an historic Obama-era policy. It was another sweeping and instantly-controversial ban, and, as it’s being widely noted today, another big, fat failure for Ivanka Trump.”

The Hug That Wasn’t? Ivanka Turns to Stone Under Threat of Rubio’s Affection
There’s a caption contest on Twitter for this photo of an eager Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) hugging Ivanka Trump without actually touching any of Ivanka’s parts. The contest was started by “AltEPA,” whose Twitter handle is @ActualEPAFacts, and who is worthy of your “following” consideration.
The shot makes you wonder just how tall “Little Marco,” as Ivanka’s dad calls him, is. A search came up with this article detailing the heights of the 2016 presidential candidates, along with heights of the past presidents. It offers this caveat at the beginning:
For the record, Rubio is listed at 5’10” in our chart but we have heard from well informed Florida sources that he is more like 5’8″.
Judging by the photo, we’re going to say those Florida sources are onto something. Ivanka, from what we could find, is 5’11” in her stocking feet, and Little Marco’s eyes are about level with her mouth.
Got a caption of your own for this shot? Leave it in the comments section. FYI, “Daddy does it too” was already used on the Twitter feed.
Workers Who Make Ivanka’s Line of Clothes Receive $1 Per Hour

Done In In Berlin
As Trump’s special advisor, Ivanka should show some aptitude,
But at a women’s conference in Berlin she ran out of latitude.
When she characterized her father
As a woman “empowerer,”
The German crowd just hissed and booed.
New Name, Still Lame
Who is this designer, Adrienne Vittadini Studio?
Does anyone who’s in the know even know?
If you filled your shopping cart
In the aisles of Stein Mart,
You’d know it’s the rebranded brand of Ivanka Trump’s clothes.
Ivanka and Jared Worth $741 Million
$741 million
“Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, will remain the beneficiaries of a sprawling real estate and investment business still worth as much as $741 million, despite their new government responsibilities, according to ethics filings released by the White House Friday night,” the New York Times reports.
A Conway Getaway
The backlash to her Ivanka ad must have astonished her,
And now the Ethics Office says Trump should admonish her.
This Kellyanne Conway antic
Goes far beyond ethics,
But don’t hold your breath waiting for Trump to punish her.
