Don’t Look At Us! French ‘Not Responsible’ For Memes Spawned By Ivanka Vid | Talking Points Memo

The French presidential palace released a statement clarifying its rationale for posting a video of Ivanka Trump interjecting in a conversation among world leaders, including British Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron. The French government also brushed off responsibility for the memes that were spurred by the footage.

There were memes about the stupidity and vapidity and uselessness of Ivankadonk long before the French posted that video.

But we love you, France, for doing so, since the memes have never been so wonderful!

“Ivanka was one of the keynote speakers”

I have finally found one reason to maybe accept a religion. So I will not feel like poser when I keep having to say “Good lord almighty, why?”

“Ce n’est pas notre faute si elle est un trou de cul…”

(although that’s Quebecois French, Google translate would probably give you something a bit softer…"

Had the same thought. It’s a G20 of (mostly) white guys, but where are the women in this Women’s Empowerment meeting? Ass-backward approach.

But Ivanka is the last representative one wants at such a meeting. She actually thinks her empowerment is self-earned, and women should just do what she does, according to her book. She is an unelected, unconfirmed aide to the Mango. As such, she should remain in the background, yet she thinks she is a designated Princess.

And folks wonder why the IMF Chief refused to look at Ivanka except for a brief glance that said WTF?

UK May says some stuff that people will support social justice only with economic arguments, where Ivanka jumps in, “It’s the same with the defense side. In terms of the whole ecosystem, it’s very male-dominated.”

Makes no f’n sense, World Leader and Princess Ivanka.
