People who say Doug Emhoff is a sex symbol are as stupid as those who claim that he’s subservient to his wife and is sacrificing his ambition to hers.
Emhoff is a very rich person. He was rich way before he married Kamala. He was a lawyer for Walmart, Merck, and many other extremely wealthy clients.
The “job” and the ambition of very rich people is to get even more rich by administering their assets. Pulling a salary, like we, the plebs, do is not crucial. Emhoff has a gigantic investment portfolio. Making sure that investment portfolio grows is his career. What do you think advances that goal more, having the intimate loyalty of the President of the United States or going to a job?
Emhoff is being a shrewd businessman (as well he should) and not some weakling cuck in supporting Kamala’s presidential bid with everything he’s got. Let’s not project our middle-class realities into these stratospherically rich people.

To the average American, a guy like Emhoff is a lazy cuck because they don’t know that he was a lawyer for rich clients, that doesn’t look like work to most people. To most Americans, work is where you get up and go somewhere and do something to make money. Being a corporate lawyer to rich corporations and getting dividends from investments doesn’t seem like work to a lot of people. While people complain about athletes and entertainers being rich, they can see that they have a talent and do something to earn money

Exactly, people project their reality on Emhoff. This is a mistake we often make with very rich people. We think they are like us but with more money. But they are not. Their thinking is very different, and this is, in part, why they have so much more money.

Unless he has blackmail on her, or they truly have deep bonds of affection, his wife becoming statospherically more high status than he is will be a be a problem. Hence the cuck means. Is Ms Harris stupid enough to dump him two years in to trade up? Is she spireful enough to punish *him* for it. Sure.
Unlike Prince Phillip, he is not a good-looking soldier. And let’s face it, if he could do better than Cackles McDayDrinker, he would have.
But then, maybe like Mr. Clinton he does have plenty of side pieces and the goods on her.
As you wrote, those who have conquered my country are not like us.

There’s no “more high status” within a marriage. People work together on a joint project which is their life together, including their financial status. Wealthy people’s marriages are so much stronger than working class’s precisely because they understand this.

There’s wealthy and then there’s oligarch wealthy.
(Aside… How would you know them well enough to understand their marriages? That has to be a fascinating story.)
I am projecting common human nature onto this crew, to be sure. If you want to argue that they are lizard people, or possessed, I won’t write you off as a loon, like I would have in the Before Times.

What do you think “doing better” would look like for Doug Emhoff? And what would “trading up in two years” look like for Harris? I’m curious.
[Aside: Prince Phillip? Isn’t he…dead? And that was a marriage made for maximum status and power on his end, if anything. Just high comedy invoking the looks of any member of the BRF in any kind of physical attractiveness comparison. BRF looks are graded on a steep steep curve. Even the ones that marry into the family. If any BRF member born into the family has them, they get it from the parent that married in. ]

Let’s speculate!
Doug Emhoff had a gigantic investment portfolio.
There is no Schedule D on their most current joint tax return.
We know this because they publicly released their joint tax return.
Here’s more on previous financial disclosures from 2021;
Copies of Presidential tax returns here: https://www.taxnotes.com/presidential-tax-returns?from=0&year=
There’s copies of Trump’s tax returns released by the Ways and Means Committee on December 20, 2022 (voted on by party lines). 2 pages of his 2005 return leaked in 2017; and the NYT said it received an anonymous info dump of Trump’s tax returns in 2020, but has not made those public. Trump has never voluntarily released any of that information.
The tradition of presidential candidates releasing tax returns is voluntary.

This is my point exactly. People are projecting their middle class realities onto a lifestyle they can’t begin to comprehend.

Their most recent tax return looks like an upper middle class couple’s.

I promise that after she completes her term in office, it will look like the Obamas’ does these days. Emhoff would be an absolute moron to not want that. And he’s clearly very intelligent or he wouldn’t be where he is.

…Your point is that Doug Emhoff’s investment portfolio directly benefits if Kamala Harris becomes President?
We should actually already see this financial benefit when Kamala Harris became a Senator and later as she became Vice President. Why wait? Schedule D is where you report long and short term capital gains. But you knew that.
Which industries/stocks in his portfolio does Emhoff have investments in that you think would benefit further from a Harris presidency?
