It's Thanksgiving Week, which means that the tryptophan haze has caused us to produce a shorter look back at online chatter in a week during which the stock market tanked, romaine lettuce was revealed to be potentially poisonous, and California remained on fire. There was, as that list might make clear, a lot going on over the last seven days despite the holiday, so let's get to it, shall we?

But Her Emails (Reprise)

What Happened: Ivanka Trump failed to learn the most obvious lesson from her father's 2016 presidential campaign.

What Really Happened: What's that saying about history not repeating, but rhyming? Perhaps we should ask First Daughter Ivanka Trump.

Lock her up! Lock her up! That's what folks are supposed to shout in response to women who use personal email accounts for government business, right?

That certainly sounds just like what Trump used to complain about in reference to Hillary Clinton, but surely there are particularly nuanced differences that make this entirely different. Anyone?

For those who love headlines with a point of view, you might be happy to know that CNN described the defense by Ivanka's team as "ridiculous." Of course, the story was widely reported on by the media, because of course it was. (Even a Fox News contributor called it "unforgivable.") But how were the Twitteratti feeling about all of this?

Perhaps we should focus on the important things and ask the President of the United States what he thinks about this whole problem. After all, he must find it somewhat hypocritical to have one rule for Hillary Clinton and another for his daughter.

OK, fair. Haven't we all done some emails at some point or another? Who amongst us can cast the first stone? But, of course! It’s totally different and "fake news."

The Washington Post wasn't the only organization looking into the matter; indeed, the Post story relied on the efforts of American Oversight, a non-partisan ethics watchdog that was happy to share what it had found on social media.

So, let's review where we are…

For anyone wondering what the incoming Democratic House is going to do about this:

Oh, and it won't just be Democrats that will be looking into this.

The Takeaway: Perhaps we're all focusing on the wrong part of this whole story. What if Ivanka really didn't know any better? What could that mean for everyone?

The Fate of Jim Acosta's Press Pass

What Happened: The White House's war against the media took an unexpected couple of turns last week in the wake of a lawsuit filed (and, seemingly, resolved) by CNN the week before. You can say a lot with a letter, it turns out.
