[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t Greenland just deny their visas? Deny them entry. That would send a strong message.[/quote]

Because the IS has a military base there (space force!)

I do not care about first and second family member travel. It’s always happened and it should be diplomatic.  I do care about her going at all in this specific case, and certainly while dragging a kid, to a country that is telling he not to come because it’s “highly aggressive”. That is not diplomacy. She shouldn’t go. And since there will be strong Anti-American protests in Greenland, she shouldn’t take the kid. That’s just decent parenting.

Was she ordered to go or is she fine with this?  Who makes these kinds of decisions about where political  spouses travel and what they do?  Could she refuse this trip?[/quote]

Real talk though: wouldn't you take any possible opportunity to get away from JD? I would...

She's shady af, and problematic in her own right, but who wants to hang out with him if it's not absolutely mandatory?[/quote]
I mean…she married the guy. I really have no sympathy for her. [/quote]

+1. When you let Amy Chu arrange your marriage— at Yale Law School, FFS- you should go in with open eyes and clear head.  She isn’t a victim here.  The marriage was transactional, and presumably she is getting something out of the marriage. [/quote]
Exactly. I condensed your quote a little bit but this really sums it up for me. This is a transactional marriage for them both.

Usha has basically nothing going for her that would lead to power by her own merit in modern conservative politics. She is painfully average looking and has absolutely no charisma or star power. I said in another thread that at the Kennedy Center board meeting last week, she sat off in the back looking terrified and meek while the other women were all front and center. She just would not make it in politics on her own. Full stop. I don't doubt that she's smart and hard working but that's not enough in the modern GOP.

JD was not particularly handsome when he was younger, and he comes from a very rough background. It would've been hard for him to find a wife willing to accept his daddy issues and meth head family members.

I don't feel any sympathy for Usha and find the "Oh, well she's a friend of a friend of a friend so I feel bad for her :(" mentality prevalent among liberal white women to be very odd. She is the one who floated the idea of JD running for office to Megyn Kelly years ago. This was all her doing. She wants to be right here, riding his coattails, because she couldn't do it herself.

You don’t see her as a victim? [/quote]
