Princess Ivankatoinette. So regal. So predisential.

The stand-ins for other heads of state, however, were government ministers or senior officials, not a family member with no previous foreign policy experience.

From what I’m reading this isn’t just an ugh-they’re-so-tacky thing. It’s a huge, huge breach of protocol that would never have happened in previous administrations. Even if she were the god-damn princess she thinks she is, this would not be a thing for her to do. And the reason we know about this is the Russians leaked a picture of it first. They’re tweaking Trump’s nose, we’re humiliated in front of the rest of the world, and it’s a day that ends with “y,” over and out.

Too bad all the other duly-elected heads of state didn’t leave en masse to protest this grotesque breach of protocol.

“I don’t profess to be a political-savant,” she said. “I leave the politics to the other people and work on issues I deeply care about.”

SO now I’m supposed to believe that the de facto First Lady cares about - African migration and health???

WTF is going on here???

And mattinpa beat me to it - this pic was tweeted out by the RUSSIANS. Yanno, Rump’s supposed best friends. Even they thought it was a bridge too far in terms of disrespect.

Framing the image, both hers and the family.

It looks like she’s sitting between Xi and May. There are just no standards anymore, except perhaps for the “quaint” collection of left of center recalcitrants who insist on proper qualifications and temperament to hold public office. Perhaps, one day these sorry defenders of a democratic way of life will die off and a new era of glorious, sunny chaos in governance will shine forth on the land. And the kakistocrats will inherit the earth.

The inner workings and dynamics within this family are surpassing just about anything that was ever dreamed up in Dynasty and Dallas.

The abrupt cancellation of this series cannot come soon enough.

Well Princess I comes from the King of Money Grubbing, Image is Everything, and I Don’t Talk Good, so she’s got the Image Is Everything down pat.

Ah yes. ‘I’m not political, I just go where Daddy sends me.’

I doubt that he will recognize the humiliation from the Russians. After everything that he has taken from them, why should this bother him?
On the other hand, where was he? Remember when Secretary Clinton was late returning to a debate and T just couldn’t deal with the fact that she…had gone to the bathroom?
You remember his rant: “I know where she went-- it’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it,” Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. “No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting.”
You don’t suppose he was going to the bathroom, do you? Is that just disgusting when women do it?

Hey, if we’re going to have an unelected, inexperienced, vapid, blow-up vinyl sex doll owned by an obsessive rich guy incomprehensibly representing us at a major international conference, then we may as well have a song about a blow-up vinyl sex doll owned by an obsessive rich guy. And a great song, too!:

Just reminding the short attention span-having American Fuhrer that the KGB does in fact still have his tiny balls in their purse. In case he had forgotten.

Does anyone know a place to see a screenshot of the photo before it was taken down?
