‘Sit this one out’: Ivanka Trump’s complaint about ‘elites’ hilariously backfires
Ivanka Trump complained about coastal elites to defend her father — and was swiftly met with furious mockery.
The White House adviser and eldest daughter of President Donald Trump shared a video clip of former Republican strategist Rick Wilson ridiculing the president’s “credulous boomer rube” supporters, and complained the attack was derogatory and unfair.
“You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided,” Ivanka Trump tweeted. “The arrogance, mocking accents and smug ridicule of this nation’s ‘Real Elites’ is disgusting.”

Other Twitter users accused the Ivy League-educated nepotism beneficiary of hypocrisy.
Team “Fuck Your Feelings” is out in force today with their fake rage and their “duh elites hate u fer lovin’ Trump” piffle.
So delicate.
So soft.
So fragile.
Dare I say…snowflakes?

The evening gown and shoes you wear to a single party in DC costs more that what most Trump supporters earn in a year.
Maybe a little introspection would do you some good.

Are you, Ivanka, calling other people elites?
How much money did you and Jared grift this year?
How many staffers in your household?
How often do you go grocery shopping?
And btw, those who choose to blindly follow a man who has lied 15k+ times deserve to be ridiculed. pic.twitter.com/0k2a85SMsP

As opposed to the WH that demeans women, locks up children causing major psychological damage, cannot be trusted to even administer a Charity honestly and supports white supremacy. Yeah America don’t laugh at dishonest Donald Trump and his complicit daughter.

I'm never surprised to see multimillionaire Trump family members casually stoke the fires of their culture war by pretending to be common folk oppressed by an imaginary class of "elites" and threatened by gathering hordes of "Other." What amazing me is how well this con works.

Mocking accents? Are we supposed to be using accents? That's not really fair to those of us from New Jersey. (Also, Ivanka Trump condemning elites is way richer than she is.) https://t.co/j2a7oHjl48

Jared Kushner vows there will be ‘no drama’ in Trump’s second term: ‘It’s high-competence’
Jared Kushner vowed on Friday that a second term from his father-in-law, President Donald Trump, would be both efficient and drama-free.
The senior White House adviser claimed that Trump's re-election campaign was running smoothly, much as the president's second term supposedly would, while speaking with organizer Matt Schlapp at the Conservative Political Actions Conference (CPAC).
"The way that you see the campaign being run, there's no leaks. There's no drama. I would say it's high-competence, low-drama," Kushner said. "Everything is very efficiently run, and I think that's exemplary of how President Trump would run his second term in office."

William Barr promotes Christian tyranny in latest speech
I’ve said it before, and if you’re reading this, you’ve very likely heard the same thing darkly muttered among liberals and progressives if you haven’t said it yourself: I never thought anything could possibly make me miss Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. And yet, with his willingness to throw away our norms, checks, and balances, to politicize the Justice Department, to sacrifice the rule of law itself on the altar of Trump—current Attorney General William Barr has done it. As authoritarian as he was, invoking Romans 13 to defend the Trump administration’s indefensibly inhumane policy of caging children separated from their asylum-seeking parents, Sessions had at least enough genuine concern for the rule of law to recuse himself from the Mueller investigation, against the tweeter-in-chief’s explicit wishes.

How the religious vote in 2020 could tip 6 swing states
Let's look at the bad news from this Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) tracking survey first: despite remarkably lousy-but-stable favorability numbers (41% approve, 55% disapprove), Pres. Trump has a strong chance of being re-elected in November, unless the situation changes significantly between now and then.
To understand why from a religious perspective, consider three factors: partisanship, race, and region. Republicans, whites, and residents of the South and Midwest are most likely to support Trump. White evangelicals tend to be conservative, giving the president a strong base in the South—this much is not surprising. Less obvious is that after Mormons, white Catholics and white mainline Protestants are Trump's strongest supporters in the religious economy.
