Dear Ivanka,
Do your unpaid interns also qualify for maternity leave?
Sincerely,
TPM reader.
And how does Trump intend to get this past Paul Ryan?
This is mean, but I donât think sheâs attractive at all. Sheâs a very average woman, in good shape, who had some work done. Maybe itâs wrong for me to mention this, but itâs quite obvious that her âstunningâ looks are supposed to attract voters.
He plans on bullying Ryan until he does everything he says or heâll find some way to fire Ryan.
To be honest, I suspect that Trump, if elected, is going to spend about six months as President before quitting and forcing Pence on all of us.
Ryan will do whatever Trump tells him to. The real question is, how does Paul Ryan intend to get this past the âFreedomâ Caucus?
We should celebrate Trump for having a ârevolutionary planâ that is crappier than what the Democrats have been trying to get through for decadesâŚand which is worse than what Hillary Clinton kicked off her campaign with more than a year and a half ago.
That is why it only focuses on mothers. The Freedumb Caucus would never go for paid leave that includes fathers, and the evangelical caucus would never pass paid leave for teh gay. Notice this will also rely on the unemployment system which is run by the states. Try passing this in Alabama or Texas.
But she has that vaguely eastern European look that seems to drive Trumpâs little soldier wild.
These people think that any question constitutes ânegativity.â I guess the fact that every policy ever proposed (with the exception of North Koreaâs ban on sarcasm) is subject to questions. For example: what does this do to help families who have chosen to have one parent stay home to be a caregiver? Are they compensated? Will they have to claim that they are âpayingâ the stay-at-home parent? What about childless people? Do they have to pay through taxes for other peopleâs choices? Are there limits? Will I get a tax rebate for the total amount, regardless of whether I send kids to Little Hellions Childcare Barn or if I hire a nanny per child? Wonât that cause rampant inflation in the cost of childcare?
I am sure Mark Halpren and the rest of the press weenies will be celebrating this ârevolutionaryâ proposal all day long.
Trump reiterated that her father should be âcelebratedâ for his âreally incredibly planâ before quickly wrapping up the interview.
Translation: âDaddy should be applauded whenever he doesnât come across as a complete asshole.â
That is brave. Some gross anonymous man on the internet critiquing a womanâs looksâŚgroundbreaking.
please change title to read MARRIED mothers.
Itâs quite a big difference from mothersâŚ
For me the real problem with the plan is it covers only a small slice of mothers, mostly upper middle class mothers, who can take advantage of tax credits. Remember 1/2 of all Americans donât pay income tax already.
Should have stopped after âThis is meanâ
Nobody criticizes the looks of Uday and Qusay? They are all rather ugly fuckers.
You mean Beavis and Butthead?
And that it only covers women. And that it discourages employment of women. And that, like everything associated with Trump, it sucks. And that is empty pandering. And that Trump is a Nazi.
Yup, Our Paid Leave Plan Focuses Only On MothersâŚmiddle class and wealthier mothers.
