So many good lines, but I think this is my favorite: “What is off-putting about them is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance,” this veteran told me. “They think they are special.”

this is my favorite:
A key problem seems to be, as one Washington veteran told me, that Kushner and Ivanka don’t have the necessary self-awareness—don’t understand how to behave when you roll into Washington as the creature of someone else. Most such people take a seat a little off to the side, at least until they get their bearings. “What is off-putting about them is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance,” this veteran told me. “They think they are special.”
"But if her main value in Washington is her access to her father and she is unable to sway him, then she is simply a 35-year-old former real-estate and retail executive in over her head."
Burrrrrrrrn.
And if Kelly had anything to say about it, even her access to him will be limited.
Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts. But still. Let me have this for today, lol.
Yes, do pop over and school Cecile Richards as she's been in Texas politics against shitty men since was in the womb. Ann Richards must be raucous laughing somewhere. We all hear her.
Eta: "They do not grasp their essential irrelevance."
Truer words have never been spoken.
YES! I didn't read the thread before reading the article & that's the exact quote I copied! “What is off-putting about them is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance,” this veteran told me. “They think they are special.”
She truly gives new meaning to the phrase "brand new."
"Ivanka's surrogates reached out to the organization with an idea: stop offering abortions and the White House would advocate increased funding for Planned Parenthood clinics."
Is she actually that stupid? Really, I'm actually asking.

I'm sure Jared's Middle East peace negotiations are probably going the same way. Hey Abbas, let the Israelis have all your territory and we'll advocate for a two-state solution.
