I was wondering about this. How can Ivanka be involved in trumps government? She's his daughter, aren't there laws against nepotism in American politics?

She does seem to be playing the role of First Lady. I guess trump realizes that even the near-sighted alt-right American people that voted for him are not going to respect talking points from a cyborg.

"Federal anti-nepotism laws prevent relatives from being appointed to government positions. But the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel recently said the president’s “special hiring authority” allowed him to appoint Kushner to the West Wing staff. Gorelick noted the office also made clear that the president could consult family members as private citizens, arguing that this is what Ivanka Trump will be doing."

What a load of shit.

This just in..Mitch McConnell seen last night by Schuylaar..is basically dying.

His color is all wrong..lips, eye rims..blood areas are oxygen starved purple. That's how you look when your organs start to shut down..it looks like congestive heart..he'll eventually take on water in his extremities.

I correctly commented on Scalia and it was only a few months later. He was a little different though..I could hear the rasp in his voice of 'death rattle' in his podcasts. His breathing was quite labored.

Cos lots of private citizens get offices in the West Wing.
