Please tell us in minute detail how Ivanka Trump “throws a spell” over the president. Does she do hypnotism? Does she dress as Svengali while the president gets into his Trilby costume? Does Ivanka wear an Ace of Spades costume that triggers Trump to drop bombs? Or are you one of those people who thinks there is a little incest going on - you know, the way the low-life disgusting leftists write on their little DU blogs. Please tell or give some links!

There is no such thing as an apolitical general officer. It is rare for an apolitical officer to put on one star, much less two or more.

I happened to be in the same area as an annual meeting of the CFR several years ago and I was shocked at the number of flag officers in attendance - in uniform, no less.

She gets what she wants from him. Beats me how.

One of her big issues is paid maternity leave for all women. Pure welfare give away bullshit. It's a ridiculous thing to expect from a conservative. It never came up as an issue in the campaign. But during his address to congress in January, boom, there is was.

She isn't going anywhere

Schwartzy has nobody to blame but himself. He started to believe his own “press” and eventually turned himself into a pathetic “has been” .
You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy.

Nothing tangible to suggest Trump will turn into Darnold Trumpnegger, but there are worrying parallels, especially the liberal family members, and starting with a big policy defeat.

What is more worrying is that there was no policy defeat, but President Trump acted like there was.

Candidate Donald Trump came out with a very clear seven-point plan for health care reform during the 2016 campaign. For some reason he put his political weight behind a fifth-rate AHCA bill in 2017 that had almost nothing in common with his 2016 campaign proposal. And when intelligent members of Congress who recognized a House bill with the support of 17% of the American people as one of the worst losers they'd ever seen didn't support it, President Trump decided (for some baffling reason) to call them out over it in one of his signature Twitter tantrums.

Meanwhile, the seven-point health care reform plan from 2016 has been removed from Trump's website.

Yep...It seems that some in here try to pass their own insecurities and frailties onto Trump...

He isn’t like them...He is his own man...PERIOD

It's a ridiculous thing to expect from a conservative.

It's a ridiculous thing to force on any business owner.

Do you remember during the campaign being told how Jared and Ivanka would be senior admin advisors? I don’t.

• Purify yourself before any spell.
• Bathe. Take a long bath, getting your skin completely clean and soaking the tension of our your muscles.
• Dress appropriately. If you have robes or other special garb for doing magic, put that on. Otherwise pick simple but formal clothes that feel light, comfortable and clean. You are asking the divine forces for a favor, so try to dress with a certain amount of reverence. If there won't be anyone around, some wiccans swear by performing magic in the nude.
• Meditate until your mind is clear. Do some basic deep breathing to improve your focus and discard distracting desires.
• Anoint yourself with the proper oils. Different essential oils can be used for different purposes, so if you like find one or more that seem appropriate and dab a little with your fingers on your forehead, and perhaps your hands, hair, face and chest as well.
• Purify your space. If you are going to be working inside, make sure you won't be disturbed and tidy up the location where you intend to perform your spell. Visualize negative and distracting energies dispersing as you clean.
• When the space is clean physically, purify it spiritually by burning some incense, sprinkling some salt water or holy water, or playing a few clear notes on a musical instrument.
• Setup a circle or altar. You need a consecrated space to perform your ritual. This can be either a circle to protect you from the interference of negative spirits and energies, an altar to focus your dedication to a specific deity or element, or some combination of these two. You will perform your ritual within the circle or in front of the altar.
• Draw a circle big enough to sit in, or a five-pointed-star within a circle (called a pentacle). You can draw it physically or just trace it in the air with your finger or a wand. Visualize protective energy coming out of your arm as you draw, sealing off the circle from in a bubble of light. You can mark the cardinal points on the circle or the points of the star with candles, stones, or some other set of significant objects.[1]
• Create a small raised platform on which to place a figurine of a deity or some other symbolic representation of the divine. It doesn't have to be complicated: a stack of books will do, if you treat it reverently. Consider adding candles, crystals, an incense stand, or a couple objects close to you spiritually, such as a small heirloom or your book of spells.
• Invoke the divine. Verbally call on a higher power to bless your spell. This can be a general prayer to call on the help of some deity or force, or something specific you wrote for this spell. Your invocation can also include gestures, music, dance, or ritually lighting candles or placing objects.
• Focus your energy on your desire. Visualize the object of your spell and imagine light flowing from you into it. Visualize your wish coming true. The more vividly you can see these energies in your mind's eye, the realer they will be.
• Recite your incantation. For each spell, write a short verse describing your wish and asking it to be granted. It doesn't have to rhyme, but rhymes, alliteration, cadence and other poetic structures help with focus and memorization.[2] Speak the incantation clearly and confidently while you visualize.
• Seal the deal. A good spell should have some element of "casting off" an item to represent your will going out into the universe. Tear or burn a piece of paper with your wish (or a symbol representing your wish) written on it; toss away a stone or symbolic object; snuff out a candle; or pouring out or drinking a potion.
• Give thanks and clean up. Say thank you to any specific deity you invoked. Ground your excess energy by visualizing it flowing into the earth. Undraw your circle, if necessary, and dismantle your altar if you aren't going to use it again. Gather up your tools and leave the space. Your spell is finished. Consider doing something mundane, like having something to eat, to center yourself.

Oh, so you admit you don’t have a clue “how she throws a spell”. In fact, you just made that up, didn’t you?

Ivanka Trump making speeches or going to conferences and giving the usual boiler-plate stuff on womyn’s issues may very well be a way to give her something to do. Meaningless. If the president decides to impose some sort of European socialist benefits on womyn in the workplace, then I’ll squawk. Until then, I support the president and wish hysterics would shut up for 5 minutes.

[miss marmelstein]

That’s called a Magic Circle, Laz. I once wrote a play that featured it. Perhaps that’s what Ivanka is doing. Trump stands within the circle that she draws in the Oval Office perhaps. More likely Valerie did it to Barry, though.

[Lazamataz]

Just tryin to be he’pful X)

[miss marmelstein]

As always, you put everything in perspective. I think. Or maybe not. Now you have me confused...

[Poison Pill]

If the president decides to impose some sort of European socialist benefits on womyn in the workplace, then I’ll squawk.

He proposed it directly to Congress in a major policy speech that was broadcast nationwide in prime time! Are you waiting for John Koskinen to personally take the money out of your pocket? I think half the people on this board are just trying not to pay too much attention?

[TheStickman]

“There’s a core of anti-Trump folks here who believe in every conspiracy theory fit to print. They are everywhere - they must sleep with one eye open - and they’re on this thread right now. Jim got rid of one yesterday and maybe we’ll see more heads on the chopping block.”

Amen & AMEN!!! Mr Robinson’s post yesterday was a welcome reminder that FR is a pro-President Trump forum.

[Poison Pill]

It's a ridiculous thing to force on any business owner.

Amen brother!

[miss marmelstein]

The president proposes a lot of things that don’t come to fruition - a mere bag of shells thrown at a gullible congress. Meanwhile, in real time, he is getting government regulations out of our industries, encouraging businesses to stay in the US, the “mandate” is not being enforced, the economy is revved up, the pipe line has been approved and other good things are happening although it’s early and I’ll have to google the rest. Please try and tell me these are all the work of a liberal president and his Svengali daughter and his flak-jacketed (that so bugs people here!) son-in-law.

He’s not perfect by any means but he’s a hell of a lot better than anyone else we could have had.

Calm down.

[miss marmelstein]

Yes. I wish people took that posting from Jim seriously. I looked through it and didn’t see the usual names there - they went to ground. The one person who stuck his head over the parapet got banned. LOL. Jim can be a mighty intimidating fellow!

[Poison Pill]

Oh, so you admit you don’t have a clue

I don't care how. But one day Jared and Ivanka are just part of the campaign family photo op squad and the then then next they are BOTH senior advisors. That is not just something "meaninless to do".

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, go soak your head. I get tired of you never-trumpers.
