    How little vetting must have gone into the decision? Dubious claims of being an attorney aside, if they had done any sort of mock press conference her complete lack of public speaking ability should have been evident.

      Background checks at fast food restaurants are more thorough than the vetting process that goes into Whitehouse staff in this admin. Would not be surprised if it’s chock full of spies.

      In a sane world after all the “fallout” from finding out they did zero vetting with a lot of iSSe goons you’d think they’d start doing a tad better for higher profile positions.

      But then again in a sane world iSSe wouldn’t exist and this orange kid diddler would be fucking locked up in jail

        I don’t want to stick up for Ivanka since she is a garbage person but Katie looks like Temu Ivanka. Or like if you were going to make a porn that’s thinly veiled Ivanka fanfic. I’m not even a fashion girlie but that girl looks kind of a mess. Like she just rolled out of bed, smeared on some brows without her glasses and stumbled up to the podium. Don’t get me wrong, their insides will always be the ugliest insides ever, but those outsides are no prize. I’ve legit seen junkies on the onramp who looked more put together.

      I think it comes from the conservative mindset that someone competent and capable in one field will be similarly competent and capable in other fields

      Simply put: They believe in a hierarchy. Some people are imherently better at everything than others

      She was competent and capable in her previous role of being an ass kisser. Because she was able to butter Trump up, it was assumed she would be good at any role, and she had “the look” Trump wanted (she looked like his daughter)

      It’s just “is she hot”, that’s all they care about. Also, their idea of hot is terrifying.

      If you wm has skills for this job (or maybe you already do) would you be willing to apply of the last person quit because the president used her as decoy when there was a real threat.

      I think only dumb people would still be interested. Looks like they had to wait to even find her.
