It’s a Family Tradition
Prince Jared Kushner of the Trump White House has gone into the Saudi Arabia business. The New York Times offers an in-depth look at how Jared got himself manipulated by the Saudi’s.
According to the Saudis, it wasn’t difficult. Jared is dumb, in debt, and desperately needs his ego fed.
CNN grabs the best tidbit from the Times reporting —
The President’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, continued to have private conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to The New York Times.
Kushner offered the de facto Saudi ruler advice “about how to weather the storm” following the death of Khashoggi, the Times reported on Saturday, citing a Saudi source familiar with the conversations.
Holy damn crap. If this isn’t illegal, it ought to be.
Jared is going to jail, just like his daddy.
Oh hell, I’d settle for him being parachuted buck nakkid into the middle of Riyadh.
In my pre-retirement life, I saw a surprising amount of family centric crime. For instance I arrested a father and his son for DWI at different times during the same year. Some years later I arrested the grandson for DWI. Of course walking drunks get arrested over multiple generations commonly, sometimes during the same incident.
Perhaps Daddy Kusher’s Saudi and Russian connections should be examined by a federal grand jury.
1“Holy damn crap. If this isn’t illegal, it ought to be.”
Depending how the emoluments clause and conflict of interest are applied, Jughead is guilty of a number of state and federal crimes. At the very least he, Flynn, Donnie and so many others in this maladministration should be prosecuted under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. (“FCPA”).
Or, with Ivanka as his parachute have Jughead dropped nakkid from several thousand feet above his 666 property. Pieces of him are as likely to strike a Saudi there as in Riyadh.
2Naked? Nah! Let the boy have his bulletproof vest and Ray Bans!

I’m sure they discussed such topics as, “is a dead bird in the hand, worth two dead birds in the bush?
4I’m “enjoying” the “Trump, Inc.” podcasts.^
Listening to “Pump and Trump” you get a snapshot of a criminal enterprise family. No surprise, I know…

6I’m gonna go out on a limb here and make an assessment that can probably never be verified.
7Jared thinks he’s provided invaluable council too someone who considers him an equal. Same superior intellect. Same position of ultra influence and unassailable power. One criminal mastermind to another. One crown prince to another. Probably believes MbS will be grateful enough to forgive some of his debt.
And MbS knows the truth.
He’ll let little Jared enjoy his delusions of grandeur/notoriety as long as he’s useful. As I see it, MbS has pretty much the entire resources of, and is pretty much in control the entire military and intelligence establishment of probably the wealthiest country in the middle east.
Lil bit different.
Say that reminds me. To anybody who has seen the bit, I think on John Oliver’s show, where they show the few clips available of Jared actually speaking, but dubbed over by Gilbert Gottfried?
That’s how I imagine MbS views Jared.
And as far as lending any support for Jared if he gets in a tight spot?
He wouldn’t piss on Jared if his hair was on fire.
Sorry Mama
I’d like to see the whole tRump crime family become serious liabilities to the two most vicious heads-of-state since Mao, PolPot, Stalin and Hitler.
8Then all of them get lured by some easy $$$$deals into secret ‘meetings’ on some Indian Ocean island with Polonium Vlad and MboneSaw operatives… and then it’s ‘Shark Week’, the well-fed little buggers feasting on lots of bite-sized pieces.
P.P., since I’ve just re-watched a favorite film, “The Lion in Winter” with Hepburn and O’Toole, your last line brought this exchange to mind:
“My God, if I went up in flames, there’s not a living soul who’d pee on me to put the fire out.”
“Let’s strike a flint and see.”
We could try it with Jared and find out….
9My God! I thought Donnie Jr and Eric were in the simpleton category and no one could be any dumber. Well, well . . .
10stupid is as stupid does and forfeits.
jennifer Rubin, conservative columnist for the Washington Post, posits that if in 2020 a Democrat wins the Presidency, 10 minutes before Trump is about to finally vacate the WH, he formally resigns by letter leaving Pence the interim President who will then pardon him. Hmm. . and I think this is when the dagger comes out. Pence 1.)either cannot be found anywhere, 2.) makes an overlooked but litigous mistake in the pardon, or 3.) finally has his revenge by refusing and walking out alive. I am basing this on the fact that Pence isn’t the halo-wearer so many people think he is. In a previous life before politics he ran a radio show based on hate.
11Dumb? Check. In debt? Check Desperately needs his ego feed? Check.
No wonder that Ivanka likes him: he’s just like her Daddy.
12Off topic but…
Thanks to Mueller’s team and SNL we call all refer to the sitting president as Individual #1.
So my little bride and I will travel to New Yawk soon and have added a quick trip to Individual #1 Tower to the itinerary.
13A Solstice miracle/ dream.
Demented donnie and his crew pull the NRA down with them.
Election fraud, money laundering, ah what else may be found under the solstice tree?
Cheery on top would be present head of NRA finally do hard time. Ollie north looking for 2nd pardon from criminal activity.
14Maggie:
I think you and Miss Rubin have gotten it right. Pence is every bit as douchebagish as Donnie, but is nowhere near as big a malignant narcissist. And smarter. He’s bound to know that history would regard him as just short of Benedict Arnold in the traitor hall of infamy. So I’m gonna make another prediction, if that situation were to happen. Pence wouldn’t just let it happen. He’d make it happen. His political career is over. The only thing he’s got left is his legacy. Which so far is purty bleak. But if the only meaningful thing he’ll be remembered for on the national level is his decision of the fate of the Golgothan?
I think not only will he not pardon him, he’ll have an executive order drafted in advance directing the Justice Department to proceed with criminal charges against the former Douchebag-in-Chief.
And I think that when he informs the weaselheaded f*cknuggett of his predicament, it’ll be with a satisfied smile on his face.

15The smell of burning hair is one of my least favorite things in life, but I have to admit, I’d probably endure it to test the flint theory on Jared.:-)
P.P., getting heavier and heavier intuition that the Golden Gibbon is not going to end well at all! Still can’t quite picture the “how” as there are now so many variables on “how”.
16I just luvs that “weaselheaded f*cknuggett” epithet. Although it’s not fair to weasels, who are a lot like those crazy ferrets (bro had a pet one, hilarious lil booger).
