Morning cousin Mike.
You pretty much summed the situation with the GOP as it currently stands between the moderates and “conservatives”. To us out here in la-la land who want things to change, well we get confused.
I’d like to make an insert about Ivanka Trump, who I adore.
I was just so impressed by how artful she acted when that asshole on the Jet started making trouble, kind of like Humblegunner every time he sees me. Indeed Ivanka is a very well-behaved female. You don’t see her making silly Tweets like accusing Abe Lincoln of stealing a MAGA hat and wearing it for selfie.
I have heard that Ivanka is for women’s rights, a main being the ability to deduct the costs of child care.
I worked my whole life and paid a fortune for babysitting. I can’t remember if I could claim my babysitter but if I could it was not near what I paid.
But you can’t work without having your children cared for. Isn’t that a cost of employment?
I guess what I’m saying is there are some so-called liberal, or women’s issues, that are good ones.
Not to mention she takes pride in her appearance and has perfect taste.
I am going to give her wide berth and see where it all goes.
I see these attacks on Ivanka and her husband as a way for the Trump haters to sow discord and divide and conquer. They stress the out-sized influence the couple has over Trump and that their liberal views will hold sway. I tend to ignoring it and concentrating on what Trump actually does. So far, so good.
A massive new entitlement for childcare costs, as Ivanka has advocated, is a horror. It is not the federal government’s business to be funding that. And it is not good for the government to pull more mothers away from their own childcare. Her horrid plan would pay for whatever fancy nanny’s and whatnot parents making up to $300K a year opted for.
And the rest of the taxpayers would be footing the bill. Terrible!
