Lara Trump appeared to be hammering the final nail in irony’s coffin as she called for meritocracy when it comes to filling White House positions.
The comments came during a Saturday appearance on Fox News, as Trump blasted Vice President Kamala Harris as an “embarrassment.”
“She was not chosen based on merit,” she said of the vice president.
“She was chosen based on virtue signaling and pandering to get votes from women and minorities. And what a bad way to ever choose someone for any position. It should always be based on merit, it should only be based on merit,” she argued.
How about we take this to the next level?

Harris, of course, was a United States senator, California attorney general, and San Francisco district attorney prior to becoming vice president. Meanwhile, Trump’s sister-in-law Ivanka Trump and brother-in-law Jered Trump were each hired by her father-in-law despite having absolutely no experience in government.
The distinction was not lost on anyone:
This is about 50/50 stupid, and ignorant.
It was at least worth a chuckle.

Put aside this asinine attack, this lady is only being asked to comment on Fox News bc of the family she married into and her willingness to go all in on whatever the crazy father in-law wants. She has no skills except crazy.

She seriously has no idea what conscious awareness is. People like her are the reason we’re going backwards in national intelligence instead of leading. The irony is strong.

Anyone not entirely devoid of intelligence and decency would be ashamed by this blatant hypocrisy.

Honest question. Did anyone under Trump get a job based on merit? Cause I can’t think of a one

Lara worked on the board of a company through which the trump political operation spent more than $700M.
The campaign paid her $180,000 a year through Parscale’s private company. Jr’s girlfriend got the same financial perk.
The youngest family member was the only not grifting.

There is very little one can add to what has already been said. They are all grifters. Well trained, read indoctrinated by the orange turd. And I am staying on point. Thieves of the first league.
And then the GOF (Grand Old Failure) party talk about kids being indoctrinated to turn them gay?
Dumbass f*cks.

Leave it to Benny to use a disaster that killed 435 people as a punchline.

You’re disgusting, MarcyTheBenny. People died.
We need no more proof of your moral bankruptcy. All your opinions are the opinions of one who joked about the recently deceased.
Trash.

My dearest friend Bosch, you are so right. But what is so amazing is that Sebs told me last night not to give oxygen to the number one troll on Queerty. A pathetic sad lonely troll getting a fix out of trolling just normal folks with an opinion. A troll will never debate your opinion but only post insulting comments. So, no more providing oxygen to the warped one.
BennyTheHill
Bosch:
I see you’re virtue-signaling again. Won’t work anymore. Americans hate you and your politics
white-queer-african:
“Sebs told me last night not to give oxygen to the number one troll on Queerty.”
Talking to your imaginary “husband” again?
And yet here you are giving me “oxygen” AGAIN!
Bosch
@WQA
Yeah, you’re right. But it’s so much fun watching him get frustrated!
He needs a lot of attention though, doesn’t he? He just goes down the list and responds to every comment he sees. His imaginary boyfriend must feel so neglected.
white-queer-african
A troll will post any drivel to get a reaction from normal level thinking folks. It is the only amusement they have. Sexually frustrated. Lonely with no friends. Shun by society. Low self-esteem. Poor appearance and of low intelligence. Google search their bible.

@BennyTheHill
Congratulations for admitting you recognized, and admitted, that it was you who WQA was referring to when he spoke of the number one troll on Queerty. Did you think no one would catch that, or maybe hope no one would? Either way, you failed miserably.
BennyTheHill
Kamala was chosen because the leftists and Democrats select people according to their quota and affirmative action metrics.
The American people HATE affirmative action and quotas.
Just ask any Asian American applying to Harvard or Yale. They earned their spots due to their intellects and academic achievements The ‘people of color’ at those ivy league universities got their spots through affirmative action.
Furthermore: Many blacks and Latinos also oppose affirmative action and quotas because they don’t like people thinking that they only got a spot at an elite university because of social engineering.
Bosch
Nice save.
Aren’t you late for a KKK rally or something?
BennyTheHill
Bosch:
I believe what the VAST majority of Americans believe: Affirmative action and quotas are wrong.
Now, if you have a problem with that, then you have a problem with MOST of your fellow Americans.
Leftists are morons and out of step with the American people.

So, if it’s true that you are a libertarian, then you’re a pr$#k by definition. You reject the Constitution, have no empathy, reject what many believe. Just to be clear, I’m not appealing to logic, but expressing to my general disgust for libertarians. just another tin man searching for a heart.
Den
BennyThe Breeder opines, stupidly:
“Better than the Party which gave us The Alzheimer’s Patient: Joey Biden, Shrillary Clinton, The Hag of San Francisco: Nancy Piglosi, and Race Baiter Extraordinaire: Maxie Waters.”
You have been asked before, but clearly do not understand that claims require proof or are no more than demonstrations of your gullibility and stupidity: Provide even one link or actual indication that Biden suffers from either Alzheimer’s or any other form of senile dementia. Interestingly, Trump in his rally this weekend was once again demonstrating aphasia when he had difficulty getting “truth social” out, as well as a few other phrases. You might want to look up aphasia as it seems unlikely you have any knowledge of our understanding of dementia and its forms.
As for your adolescent and sexist reference to Mrs. Clinton, the right has wasted many millions in taxpayer money investigating their delusions about her as if they had any reality. She was exemplary in her testimony. By contrast those many right wingers currently under investigation refuse to cooperate, lie, claim forgetfulness until they see videos of themselves, plead the 5th and so on. You seem actually to be quite adolescent, posting like a 12 year old might. What is that about?
Are you stupider, and even less mature than we believe you are?
Den
“Just to be clear, I’m not appealing to logic, but expressing to my general disgust for libertarians.”
A well founded and widespread disgust, shared by most folks with a healthy connection to reality.
I recently saw footage of a Libertarian event where the audience booed a speaker for suggesting that regulation such as LICENSING DRIVERS might make sense! These people could not be duller if they tried to be.
Den
BennyTheFool opines, stupidly as usual:
“Furthermore: Many blacks and Latinos also oppose affirmative action and quotas because they don’t like people thinking that they only got a spot at an elite university because of social engineering.”
While those who you carry water for, lie for and desperately try to eat the feces of have a stated agenda of eventually overturning Loving v. Virginia and Brown v. Board of Education!
In the past 25 years, black participation in the work force has increased 50 percent and the percentage of blacks holding managerial positions has jumped fivefold. In 1970, women comprised only 5 percent of lawyers compared to 20 percent today. Twenty-five years ago, the student population at University of California, Berkeley, was 80 percent white compared to 45 percent today. I am sure YOU oppose these gains. Seeing so clearly what you are, your opposition makes sense. Despite these strides, severe inequities remain. Nearly 97 percent of corporate senior executives in the United States are white. Only 5 percent of all professionals are black though blacks comprise 12.7 percent of the work force. Hispanics hold only 4 percent of white-collar jobs but make up 7.5 percent of the work force. Again, knowing what you are I am sure these inequities please you.
And though about 30% of blacks oppose current affirmative action regulation it is not for the reasons you probably imagine. It is because it pits one minority against another as well as ignoring class differences and historic sources thereof. We know why you oppose it, as well as why many white folks do. And it is not flattering to you or them, indicating an intellectual and empathic failure.

The Failure 45 crowd believe that “truth” can be generated by:
1. Fear-mongering
2. Scapegoating
3. Bellowing!!!
4. Repeating oneself over and over again until the listener is indoctrinated

These are the same leftists who spread misinformation about the Jussie Smollett hoax, Hunter Biden laptop & emails, and Nick Sandmann.

“brainwashing and grooming little kids in grades K-3 with LGBTQ+ propaganda in grades K-3.”
Uh oh! Someone is drinking and posting!
Mr. Stadnick
Meritocracy? She must have confused that long word for another long word, hypocrisy.
Den
BennyTheLyingFool opines stupidly:
“Like the Alzheimer’s Patient currently occupying the Oval Office thinks he got the job on merit after failing 2 previous times running for President (1988 & 2008).”
We know Trump had to take a test used to determine if someone is suffering dementia, AND HAS TO THIS DAY BRAGGED ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS AT THE END AND HOW HE ACED IT. We see quite regularly at this point examples of aphasia, both in the inability to construct full senetnces and the failure to get words out (without the history of stammering that Biden has). Biden has demonstrated no such impairments…So you are simply lying.
Trump has tried for the presidency three times. did not get the nomination the first time, about 20 years ago, and failed to win the popular vote in his two subsequent tries. He gained office through a weakness of the outmoded Electoral College system. You claim not to be a supporter of Trump, but as with so much of your other posts, I suspect this is another lie.
In my faith (I AM actually Jewish), bearing false witness (mendacity) and Lashon Hara (“the evil tongue”) are considered the greatest transgressions against the community. You engage in both constantly with obvious glee. This tells everyone who you are and what you are.
dbmcvey
She thinks she got her job on merit and not because of who she married.
BennyTheHill
Like the Alzheimer’s Patient currently occupying the Oval Office thinks he got the job on merit after failing 2 previous times running for President (1988 & 2008).
Did you see the video of Obama visiting the White House recently on the anniversary of that sham: the “Affordable Care Act”? Even Obama IGNORED the Alzheimer’s Patient from Delaware and LITERALLY brushed him aside.
Obama was cruel, but right.

LOL this idiot woman. Trump put unqualified people in every single postition of his administration and 3 unqualified judges on the highest court. Jared was put in charge of the Middle east peace for which he said he read a few books and didnt even talk to the Palastinians. You cant get anymore unqualified than that except maybe for Benny the troll

LOL! Exactly. Failure 45 led the most “merit-free” administration in American history. He obviously agreed seeing as how he was firing people faster than he could hire them.
