Former staffers describe how Linton would glide into the anteroom outside Mnuchin’s office and chirp, “Where’s my hubsies?” Recalls the ex-official: “And they’re like, ‘Um, he’s on the phone with the chief finance minister of France, but if we need to interrupt him. . . .’ ”
wow. |
“It was so strange because I thought Washington was going to be so grown-up and everyone was going to be so nice,” Linton tells me, brushing a lock of hair from her eye. “Then people were saying to me, ‘Watch your back in DC.’ Why? Really? I have to watch my back in DC?" ^^ Didn't she sum it up here? She is beautiful, raised wealthy, and married someone in a high position. What's not to hate? :sarcasm: She might act too haughty for someone in that position, I know some of the past people who held that position, and they seemed to live a more modest and humble lifestyle. But consider that she was raised differently. Which is fine, but D.C. people tend to resent that type. I only know what I read in the article OP attached. |
I read that, also. Consider that she is not from here. Not only that, she is from L.A. Her life was different before now, that's all. She might not be as bad as some of the Washington people portray, and there may be incentive for them to hate on her because she is different. |
I dare you to defend her public service position reasonably or make a compelling case that it doesn’t undermine our ability to project meritocracy and anti-corruption abroad. |
Ivanka and Jared are totally RINOs if even that. It's just so telling how DC Liberal haters have viciously ripped them to shreds for not hating on her father in the way they deem appropriate. It's just laughable that you think she's a "threat to your core values" Boy you attribute a lot of power to her. That says way more about your insecurities than her. |
She is a Senior White House Advisor who sits in for the President at global summits and makes “royal tours” abroad purporting to represent us. She has considerable access and influence with lawmakers here and abroad. She IS powerful. She is not a threat to AMERICAN values because she is too Republican/not Republican enough (I lost track of your thread there) but because having her in that position shows the President’s willingness to defy norms against nepotism and his disregard for her unethical business practices. While he shares them, at least he was duly elected. Your defense of her is weak and unconvincing. |
My defense of her? I pretty much "nothing" Ivanka T. She's the President's daughter who is basically given a cushy job near the top to gain experience, just like she did at Daddy T's company straight out of school. She's certainly paying out of her nose for the privilege, in the level of abuse she gets in DC from rabid Liberals. They are trying HARD to take down both her dad and her husband. It's not a fun and cushy time.
I'm not even a R - I lean conservative at times, at most. I just think it's hilarious how jealous and threatened by her DC liberal females are. It's transparently obvious. |
| Predictable that she hangs out with Amy Baier - that they are friends. I know Amy and her social crowd. Seem like the group Linton would want to be friends. Total NWDC crowd - live in Wesley Heights/Foxhall/Kent/Spring Valley area and are rather vapid, overly made up, a bit skeletal and have their kids in specific privates. Some have older husbands but most don't. These youngish women tend to think they are trendy and cool and maybe they are compared to old Dc (cavedwellers and all) but they arent really that interesting or smart. |
I despise her but she’s not nearly as problematic as her husband. While I deeply regret the damage she is doing to our image at home and abroad, at least she is not blithely dismantling the geopolitical system. The point I have been making the whole time is that Louise Linton and Ivanka Trump should not be in the same category because objections to Ivanka are substantive and important. Louise Linton isn’t hurting anybody. |

Oh, poor sad and useless Louise
she needs to go back to la. |
Compelling retort. Really, where was the backpedaling? |
|
I'd honestly forgotten about her until this article came out. Then I was like, "why is that name familiar?"
She'd been better off not doing it. Most, like me, had forgotten the Instagram fiasco and the photo with the gloves & money. Now everyone is once again talking about how insufferable she is. |
Louise might need to get out of toxic DC, true, but all of you Liberal idiots should consider joining her in Commiefornia. |
I don't know about that. Here is another interview with her from just last month. Louise Linton is Super-Duper Sorry https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a15895367/louise-linton-march-2018/ Check out the picture! |
God, seriously! |
