Jeez, you can almost hear the boot-licking going on here. Priebus, Bannon and Scaramucci have no shame.
Donald Trump’s presidency will be nothing short of a vicious rape of all norms of a functioning society. It is likely that in short order, that society will fail catastrophically. This is all hands on deck.
Alexander Hamilton, my butt. Not one ounce of shame.
“Jared is one of the smartest guys that I’ve met,” Scaramucci replied. “He went to Harvard.”
Funny how an Ivy education is looked down on by the baggers until one of their own is a graduate.
“I see Jared as like the Alexander Hamilton of the new administration.”
I see him more like the Galeazzo Ciano of the new administration.
(But then I’ve always been a sucker for happy endings.)
I posted this article below in another thread yesterday which informs us of Kushner’s in-depth profile. We are talking about another vindictive guy who may play a significant role without his accountability clearly defined.
So here’s the thing. Trump can call on anyone as an advisor: Obama used to have academics come in all the time to bounce ideas off of. That’s not the point. Bill Clinton relied on Hillary a fair amount. That’s not the point. The point is appointing him to a paid position. That runs afoul of the nepotism laws. Scaramucci’s invocation of JFK and Bobby Kennedy is the point because those laws were modified after JFK named his brother as attorney general. Kushner can advise to his heart’s content, but he can’t receive classified information unless he has a clearance, and he can’t get a clearance unless he has a job that requires one.
He’s a real estate guy - what the fuck does he know about the government?
Snakes in the Swamp!
Like father, like son.
Unfortunately, he can get a security clearance if Prez Trump says to give him a security clearance. The president is the ultimate authority here, doesn’t matter what red flags a background check turns up.
Ryan pled ignorance. “I don’t have a deep understanding of how they work,” he said.
Paulie Boi’s stock answer on any particular subject…
If you read articles about him, his classmates said his grades were not Harvard material. His father gave a huge donation to Harvard prior to admission. If he is the smartest man Scaramucci has met, he must have low standards. It is not appropriate for a unfit, inexperienced man like Trump to have inexperienced help around him. What a sad state for the country.
pretty sure that can’t happen but if you can cite some regulation or literature, besides WEB Griffin, that would support that claim I’d be interested in reading it…
He praised Kushner as … “a three-times listener, 0.5% talker.”
What the fuck is he saying? He has to listen 3 times to understand anything? He only speaks one minute out of twenty 200?
Nepotism has always been rampant in the politburo.
Nothing just like his father in law. This man trusts no one but family. What has the electoral college foisted upon the country???
I hear they’re trying to get Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore legislative assistant positions in Peter King’s office. The pay is not great but they are still young.
Knowledgeable sources deep inside the Trump transition revealed that Mr. Kushner is being asked to work for the incoming administration so Mr. Trump can have more “alone” time with Ivanka.
