I take issue with Ivanka Trump enabling her incompetent father.


Yeah, she has a lot to lose if she doesn't: being "fired" for Ivanka means the money's shut off, being a family pariah, out of the Will and/or Trust, going independent of the Trump name and connections, etc. plus the same for her husband. Blackballed in the future by her own father.

I refused to enable my elderly father (93) when he was making mistake after mistake and refused help. He wanted me and my sister to cover for him. Stupid yet significant stuff like driving carelessly and getting into regular fender benders. Driving after a cataract operation from midtown Manhattan to NJ with less than 50% of his vision (because he also had a remaining cataract on the other eye). Setting the house on fire. Not paying his bills for six months. Not training his puppy to be housebroken and not to chew everything. Not cleaning up after his dog. (See the prior statement.) Leaving his dog in his car when the interior heat was above 120 degrees on a regular basis.

When my sister (who works for a veterinarian) tried to impress upon him that the dog shouldn't only eat "people food", shouldn't be left in a hot car, should be walked regularly, our father went to his lawyer and replaced her as Executor to his Will with the law firm itself. I tried to do work behind-the-scenes to avoid conflicts, but it was near impossible. Sometimes I just did cleaning and recycling garbage, but he'd yell at me to leave him alone.

When our father left for a trip to Florida in the dead of winter without notice, I called the police with a Silver Alert request. They refused to help me.

When he inadvertently started the house fire, the Fire Dept. felt sorry for him and put on the report that it was an electrical issue. And while Dad was delighted to be let off the hook, my siblings and I would remind him that the fire didn't start that way at all, that he caused it.

My point: When Dad died, he disinherited all three of us. Likely payback for not enabling him when he really needed our assistance. Would I do it the same again? You bet your ass I would.

Take your word salad and shove it.

Trump is more than competent.  He keeps winning and it gets better every day.

If mccain and the rest of the eGOP would quit getting in his way we would be poised to return to a greatness we have not seen in many decades.

The REAL crux of the issue.  The OP hates his dad b/c the old man would not enable a liberal, lazy, America-hating jerk.   The entire post is fake news invented to make dad a dottering old fool.  Of course if the OP was true it would have been easy to get a conservatorship established.  Why did that not happen?  B/C THE OP MADE IT ALL UP!!

My feelings for DU-folk aside, I believe this is what psychamobabblers call, "Projection".

The ironically-named DU OPer deserves an F- in handling seniors. And yes, I've BTDT, got 3 T-shirts (including my MIL, who lived with us her final 4 1/2 years). Hopefully dear old Dad left his $$ to a more worthy relative, friend, or "Fundamentalist" church.

This really should tell you all you need to know about this DUmmie.  Even the police think she is an idiot.

no_hyp is describing the typical American-family, I guess.  So his opinion about Ivanka should go unquestioned.  Phooey!  Is Ivanka like 3-years-old or something?  She's been running her own business for years.  I especially hate DUms who haven't a clue about the Trump Empire before 2015, nor of the New York real-estate menagerie since the 1960's.

     It's entertaining to read a DUmmy's perspective on their own lives. What a bunch of bitter, nasty, ugly failures. I'd cut your sorry asses out of my will, too.

     I don't like Trump much, but I'll take him and his daughter over the lot of whiny suckass DUmp babies. **** you all.

[BadCat]

**** you, DUmmy.
She can do anything she wants.

WOW, what a sob story. 

You should get a job writing soap operas.

So you were cut out of the will for a sick dog, a dented up car and a half burned down house.
 It sounds like he did you a favor.

Ivanka has a net worth of over $300 million and that isn't counting any inheritance. Her husband is worth another $400 million or so.

President Trump knows how to play the tax games. By the time he's ready to go, he'll be a pauper on medicare, and the feds will see very little tax revenue from his vast wealth.

I take issue that you're even breathing, you worthless sack of rotting goat rectums.
Now STFU and die already.
