She has exactly one skill.
"Yes sir Mr. President."
Yep. The only necessary quality is unflinching loyalty.
She must give good helmet.
Only the best
She's a millionaire several times over already, and calls the great non-woke state of Florida home, so it makes sense she'd be prosecuting criminals in Virginia.
Or, in her case, illegally filing false charges to please a fascist dictator who is using the government apparatus to punish his enemies.
If she were to jam her toe really hard into the corner of a table, I wouldn't feel bad at all. Or, y'know. Whatever.
Where do I wait in line to get one of em gov jobs..
At the plastic surgery clinic.
Just learned about Mar-a-Lago face bc of Lemmys TIL!!!
First, be a blonde woman tRump wants to sleep with.
Ivanka?
Too old.
I hear Monica has a tip.
Isn't it interesting how all the women he hires tend to be the type you know he's attracted to?
aren't they too old for him?
Fair point
Whaaaaat?? I . . . certainly don’t know what you mean!?
He hires only the best! And I think we can all agree beautiful women are the best, huh? Right? You’d have to be some DEI-obsessed sleazebag Democrat to suggest these lovely ladies go through some kind of vetting process to ensure a good fit for both them and the government.
Next you’ll be wanting to give them the right to their own bodies! Ha! Liberal!
What's your point here, that she's attractive or that she's been scantily clad at some point? It's a bit of an obnoxious post if it's the latter.
I think they were just copying and pasting the resume she submitted to Trump to get her White House position.
My dream of being a US attorney is dwindling by the second.
I was curious because some earlier article called her a model and beauty pageant winner (technically true, she won 3rd place eventually) but didn’t reference her legal credentials which appear to be “Insurance Law”. Since that’s not a thing I’m assuming it’s some slip and fall sort of deal which just underscores not only how she was appointed but why she was appointed.
none of which indicates what she’ll actually do, but since her remit is odious in the extreme she’s either going to knowingly break the law or be fired out of trumpworld.
Yeah, tbh I don't really want to come across as too judgy myself, assuming other posters are accurate she doesn't appear to necessarily be qualified for the job but equally I'd be against shaming her for participating in pageants/lingerie pics etc.
It’s like - it’s so bad, but you have to keep reading.
