Here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot in the past week: while I’ve never had any time for the “family values” Republicans and their brand of misogyny, I think we’re now completely past the moment in time when any Republican can EVER say anything about importance of families and the sanctity of human life. Not when their party is ripping babies away from mothers and putting small children in cages. Speaking of, Ivanka Trump has made “families and children’s issues” one of her signature issues. She has not said one f–king word publicly about the caged children. Apparently, she vaguely brought it up with her father, which we only know because Trump vaguely brought it up in a meeting:

Ivanka Trump met with her father, President Donald Trump, on Tuesday to discuss the images of immigrant families being separated at the US-Mexico border, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley told CNN.

“She offered the President her support and she said she would talk to any member of Congress to help find a legislative solution to the issue,” Gidley said. After the meeting, Ivanka Trump called House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, both Republican lawmakers with whom she developed a close relationship during her push on the child tax credit. She agrees with her father’s sentiments that he hates the family separation issue and doesn’t want it to occur, although she has remained publicly silent on the topic.

Her private conversation with her father was first revealed by the President during a closed-door meeting Tuesday evening with House Republicans.

“He mentioned Ivanka talked to him about that,” New York’s Republican Rep. Chris Collins told reporters after the meeting. Collins continued: “His daughter had seen the images and said for a lot of reasons we should be dealing with this. And that is what this bill does.”

This is Ivanka wanting you to know that she watches the news and wanders into the Oval Office to say “daddy, can we do something?” And he says “no” and then he starts ranting and raving about something else. When really, the best way for Ivanka to get his attention would be to start a conversation about her breasts.

Before she was working for her father’s real-estate company — and then his White House — Ivanka Trump tried to make a go of it in modeling. It was a career in which Donald Trump, famous for bedding and wedding models, so keenly wanted his daughter to succeed that he told friends at the time Ivanka would be wise to get breast implants, according to a new book on the Trump family.

“Donald wanted it for her, bad, to the point where he suggested to friends that breast implants might help her along,” author Emily Jane Fox writes in Born Trump, which was released on Tuesday. President Trump’s sister, Maryanne, was so mortified that she petitioned one of her brother’s friends to talk him out of letting her niece get plastic surgery.

“When his friend confronted him about it, he denied that [Ivanka] was getting implants,” Fox writes. “At the end of the call, he asked, ‘Why not, though?’ ”

Not that it even matters in this horror show, but Ivanka has had a ton of plastic surgery, all bought and paid for by daddy. Of course she got a boob job. She’s also had her eyes done and some other face work. Anything to please daddy.
