As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

Pain, ID is such a beautiful state. But I've always sorta thought of it as a bit 'Utah redux' when we've been there. Friendly people but very right wing for the most part.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think Ivanka grew up and very early learned to swim in "shark infested" business waters. She is well aware of what's going on around her, and I believe she holds her own. She's not inexperienced or being "cuffed along" at all. She is in it with two feet planted and knows exactly what she wants and what she is doing. She is, IMO, a full partner in this.

Fascinating statement from the US State Department inside that piece.

"Those responsible for the criminal repression of peaceful democratic activity ... will be held individually accountable for their actions by the Venezuelan people and their institutions, as well as the international community," the statement read."

Wendy Murdoch WOULD say that, wouldn't she? Besties and all.

Frankly, I'd rather my daughter not sell her soul to get ahead in business.

Yes. Serious besties, apparently. Smile
