She claimed she'd face undue hardship because it's during the school week.
What?
She's got a husband. I bet she still has a nanny - she mentioned having one in her book. She's got two brothers that aren't going to be testifying at the same time.
The kids will be in school for 8 hours, and literally any one of those people could watch her kids for the remaining time. Normal people have to deal with this all the time.
She's literally using her own children as a shield for her lies, those poor kids.
She learned it from her father.
I wonder if she also looks at her children the way her father looks at her.
She definitely has a thing for the puer aeternus, maybe she's just making sure they never grow up.
Who learnt it from his father. The shit Apple didn’t fall far from the shit tree.
His dad was a pimp in Seattle, https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/northwest/donald-trumps-grandfather-got-business-start-in-seattle/
None of these people ever faced any actual hardship in their entire entitled lives.
I bet she gets up early and makes their lunches for them.
She probably hand bakes cupcakes for the parent teacher conference, and writes each teacher’s name in icing using a plastic bag with a hole cut in it.
she mentioned having one in her book
You read her book? Seriously, thank you for taking one for the team. How bad was it?
I haven't read the article, so I'll continue to assume the baby sitter was intended for Jared.
Although, would you want those two Trump brothers watching your children?
Ivanka is likely to be less coy about her father’s business dealings, according to Mary, who believes that the heiress will “tell the truth and throw him under the bus,” since she’s “legitimately wealthy” without her father and doesn’t need to rely on him.
Lemme go out on a limb and predict that this won't happen.
Yeah doubt that'll happen. Though this next quote seemed pretty accurate.
“They’re going to have to walk a very thin line between obfuscating in a way that’s not perjury and appeasing their father’s ego so that he doesn’t throw them under the bus when he testifies, which of course he’s going to do no matter what they do,” Mary Trump said ... referring to the two sons.
Yeah, where are these reporters getting these theories from? This is a mafia family.
She could probably arrange a temporary babysitter be flown over from Saudi Arabia.
What scares me about Ivanka is that if she stays in politics she's likely to be Trump's heir to the Maga throne. Sure Trump is an idiot and will die soon, but she's smarter than him and can be president, as lots of "centrist" will jump to her over her dad
Somehow I get the impression she’d rather stay far away from political office after dealing with dad. Don Jr is more likely to try and fail on that front. She’d rather find a good sweatshop in China and start a new clothing line.
Yeah because the smart rich know where the real money is. Child Labor not politics.
I was going to say “she might actually be a better human being” and then realized the low bar I was setting.
Yeah, Ivanka. What are you? Poor?
Ew
I actually thought she meant her school. Which maaaaybe, kiiiinda made sense (apart from her helping fucking up the lives of many Americans.)
But it's her kids' school? What a lousy, lousy excuse!
Guaranteed daddy told her to use that excuse.
Yup, it plays well with his audience - she's just a poor stay at home mom doing her best to take care of her kids, and the evil radical left is dragging her into their witch hunt, harming her kids
Yeah it's bullshit, but it's good bullshit
Yeah it's bullshit, but it's good bullshit
It's... it's not good bullshit though.
Disagree. It makes them look like victims. Which is exactly what their followers want.
Her husband gave up untold US security secrets for $2 billion. Anyone paying attention won’t be swayed by the childcare bit.
No, but it's their base they are appeasing, and they do not pay attention.
the best outcome i can hope for is that this whole mayonnaise family is barred from running for office in case any of them were thinking about it
It's gonna be a big week I think.
The warm up with the sons didn't disappoint but it seems like ivanka is less likely to perjure herself.
Oh, it's gonna be a big week. My son will be born. I'm not joking. Sorry.for capturing your comment, but I have to let the world know. Besides, there still are good things happening.

Dont name him Donald.
What the.... I'd rather Name him Fartsgerald Dickworth than Donald.
"Daddy why did you name me Fartsgerald Dickworth?"
"Well my dearest son. It was either that or Donald."
"But dad Donald is a nice normal name, the kids at school wouldn't tease me if I was named Donald."
"Here my son. Sit down at my knee and I will tell you a tale that will scare you to the bottom of your Dickworth."
Just gonna one up you here bro, my mrs is due this week too, but she has a son and a daughter on board!
I don't want to one up both of you guys, but my wife is making enchiladas tomorrow. So things are going really well around here. Sorry if I stole your thunder.
Congratulations!
Please don't give your son a pun name, or an "original" name from a recent movie.
You just reminded me of trying to enjoy a video game while some dipshit yelled at his crying baby, Khaleesi, to be quiet so he could focus. The last thing he heard before being booted from the raid was, "The character's name is Daenerys."
Ivanka may be less likely to perjure herself, but she’s also much more likely to intentionally throw Donald under the bus to save her own skin. She already feels the noose tightening around the entire operation, and is desperate to distance herself.
Truly a LOL moment!!
I swear, this family will pull anything out of their ass to delay when they know they're guilty as hell.
Bro I just want to admit that I find woman who commit a crime and act innocent really fucking hot.
the bad thing about finding Ivanka Trump hot is that now you have something in common with his father, Donald Trump.
