Chile’s First Lady Irina Karamanos doesn’t want the job, but she’s having a hard time quitting. Scott Ott thinks she’s on the right track, and recommends these United States of America should fire the First Lady. Should this unelected (and unpaid) presidential spouse have a staff and a budget?

“I’m the government.” “L’etat c’est moi.”
This is fluff. What you really need to look into is Homeland Security and the new secret system of getting foreign nationals into our country.
Mayorkas has devised a way to provide the illegals with their papers in Mexico. Then they get in vans with their suitcases, enter the US, “legally” through our US ports of entry. With those “PAPERS” they are not considered to be illegal. They also don’t have to pay the cartels and don’t take the risks others have to take. Smells like elites take care of their chosen, special foreign elites or operatives, doesn’t it?
So, Bill wants to hire another president’s mistress / moll / girlfriend to be a hatchetman? Sounds like a good idea.
In a David Eddings book (in the Tamuli series, but I forget the exact book name) one country was described as a republic. It elected people, but they very much did not want to serve. All of their stuff was sold and put into the national treasury and if the government did well, they got more back than they started with. They couldn’t just raise taxes though, those were fixed at a percentage. One character from the country, describing this to others said that sometimes people worked themselves to death for the benefit of the country, though I think that was supposed to be taken with a grain of salt.

A smart socialist scientific researcher is a very scary sounding thing. As an anthropologist and political scientist there is less danger than if she was a politically motivated biologist in a virus lab but still I worry.
Once the cops were in the room Paul Pelosi thought he was in control and being a lefty he could not see DePape as evil or even wrong, he sees him as confused, oppressed and possibly disabled. He thought the cops would back him up. Yet it appears they did not even know who Paul was! In several states it appears that the police do not have a list of politicians addresses that tells them this address is important, don’t shoot the Senator!
I am of the opinion that someone connected to Nancy Pelosi was trying to go the next stage beyond transvestites. The list of sexual grievance groups is getting short, and the militant nudists are on that list with the biggest “apparent” numbers. Sexologists lie about the nudist movements statistics. Then the state DNC backed down, or just got busy, and DePape took it badly. Because Paul Pelosi knew Nancy was negotiating with Gypsy Taub’s group he lowered his guard and either let DePape in or let him past the first line of security into the yard.
Gypsy Taub’s in jail for trying to chat up one of her sons school aged friends. She’s on Pedophilia charges. She has several kids and DNA tests are needed to find the father. DePape fathered 2 of them.
We may not have voted formally for a particular First Lady, but if we voted for her husband, we knew we were also endorsing their marital relationship as one with which we did not have a major problem.
Some day there may very well be a same sex couple or a transgender person voted into the office of the President. Do we vote against that situation, or do we vote for or against the other political policy positions the candidate espoused, outside of their personal family relationships?
If a given First Lady has a policy agenda that she wants to pursue (or to avoid) then perhaps she should report to the corresponding official office. To decorate the white house, report to the WH architect (or whomever?). To push for particular features of education practice or policy, report to the Sec. of Education, etc. If he/she is qualified, and wants to promote thorium based molten salt nuclear reactors, then report to the DOE? Or push for a MSR being used on a submarine as a proof of principle, perhaps within DOD?? And if the role is substantial enough, then she should also be paid accordingly. No freebee 2 for 1 schemes, etc. TANSTAAFL!
As I think about it a little more, how is the use of the WH for personal weddings within the first family group also not a version of an emolument, forbidden by the Constitution? It is a venue paid for by the people, not the bride/groom/family involved, except probably for related costs beyond “renting a location”.
I most definitely voted for Melania Trump. After 8 years of having to look at that Wookie.
I detest Moose Obama with a vengeance and share your sentiments. When people would object to her (his?) being called a Wookie I would explain that we were just being nice using that designation. Because “Yeti” is a mythical creature whereas a Wookie is only fictional even though Yeti was more appropriate.
I have never seen a wife of a POTUS with less class, taste and discernment. Of course those things would be too much to expect from what amounts to a glorified hood-rat.
I’ll give her credit for one thing though. Even though she had Barry’s balls removed and embedded in lucite, she kept them well dusted and displayed them on the mantle where everyone could see them.
The salaries may be 1.3Million, but the total activities, including travel on behalf of POTUS is significantly more than that. As a non-elected, non-accountable, citizen, FLOTUS should never be making policy type speeches on behalf of POTUS.
There are actual cabinet members for that.
Throughout the discussion I was thinking about the movie “Dangerous Beauty”, based on the true story of Veronica Franco, a concubine in latter 16th century Florence, Italy. There’s a scene in the film where the wives of the noblemen corner her and want to know how she is aware of the goings on in the war between Florence and the Turks and they do not. Why do their husbands correspond with her and not them? How she answers is worth seeing the movie.
Probably a decent film by the look of it, but not going to make it to my list anytime soon. Want to give away the response?
It’s PG-13 and involves a banana
Hmm – I have a feeling there is no dialog, just an example of her, ahem, skill that gets the men talking.
You could write scripts, sir. Shockingly, it’s not as creepy as it sounds in the movie.
Just tell us what she said. OKAY? Busy people do post here.
“We are the President. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated”
She is the “pusher robot”. Down the stairs Joe goes!
I was thinking more along the lines of the movie Hannibal when the male nurse pushed the guy in the wheelchair into the wild hog pen. As soon as usefulness is over.
A la the movie Dave I have been expecting Joe or Kamala to have a stroke any time. If they happen before Christmas, Nancy would be POTUS.
***<<<shudder>>>***
Wouldn’t that be a Christmas Miracle. She is still 3rd in line until January.
That word “miracle” you use … I do not think it means what you think it means — 🙂
Isn’t a miracle supposed to be a good thing? Something so wonderful that the only explanation is Divine Intervention? What is the antonym for ‘miracle’? The mirror negative of a miracle, something so bad as to only be explained by infernal supernatural causes?
‘Disaster’ doesn’t quite cut it, disasters can be bad but still have explainable natural causes. There must be a word for the diabolic opposite of a miracle but I can’t for the life of me think of it.
Whatever it is, that’s what Ninny Pelosi would be as POTUS. Two years of Skeletor the Wicked Witch would be about enough to destroy what’s left of the Republic and I’m pretty sure “miracle” is not the word that applies.
“Doom” is all that I can think of but while that’s an accurate application of the described circumstances it’s not quite the meaning I’m looking for either. Doom seems a little shallow to me.
Here’s one for you
And another
And then this, which might be the most appropriate.
Ok. I quit. This is too much for a Tuesday. Rocket Scientists and Black Budget Stealth Ninja Global Mercenaries meme- battling before my eyes over best word to describe a really, really terrible thing that would make so many people happy. I am digitally bowing before the two of you….it’s only noon, I must be low blood sugar, gotta eat….before I pass out laughing!
it’s after lunch and I’m baaaaack! Loaded with carbs and loaded for that bear in the woods…
“Ron”….were you speaking of this miracle? A gem I remembered although I’m not sure it’s on BWDC. Had to go to YT for it.
But by Miracle I really me a sequence of unlikely events that have no discernible link, or least the MSM would say that.
KH – oops, FJB – double oops, and just like that, Nancy is THEFIRSTWOMANPOTUS(TM).
No way could there be any untoward circumstances, so it would have to be a Miracle. QED 😉
5 bucks says that karinejeanpierre (gotta say it fast with no pauses) asserts her way to be 3rd in line. So many firsts would be accomplished in that one move.
Whose word salads are worse? karinjeanpierre or Kammie-H
Kammie repeats the same thing in different order.
karinejeanpierre says um, oh, eh, um oh a lot.
The Significance of the Passage of time compels me to Shreik Kamala repeatedly while twisting hy head 720 degrees and projectile vomiting.
Yeah, I get it, I was just pullin’ your chain because I’ve always thought of “miracle” in the context of something good. Ninny Pelosi as POTUS is about the furthest thing I can think of from “good”.
It’s all your fault for using “miracle” and Ninny Pelosi in the same comment. 😉
I think the word “curse” would fit. Not as in cursing, but as in someone casting a curse on someone. Not natural, but bad.
Given how many lies have been told about the Pelosi story, do we even know that Paul was beaten with a “hammer”?
“Nine times out of ten it’s an electric shaver. But every once ine a while….”
I’m genuinely shocked that Jill Biden’s “office” sucks up only $1.3~ million. A veritable drop in the bucket overall, but any money spent on the “First Lady” in any fashion is wasted. She’s not accountable to anyone (especially in Jill’s case) and what in blue blazes does a “Chief of Staff” for a first lady do? Hobnob with the Press Secretary? Play Scrabble all day? Draft speeches that nobody delivers?
Bring back William Proxmire’s “Golden Fleece Awards”, this time with a vengeance.
Lots of peddies and mannnies. Oveheard in First ladies office: “We did the blue polish with the sprinkles last time. Let’s do the Ukrainian pinky-blast, nuclear gloss this time! It’s so Jill!”
