This moron actually thinks he is president, and that the president controls when elections happen.

Kushner Cleans Up Remark

Not much there, it seems to me, but, just on general principles alone, it’s good to keep these people on the defensive.

Sadly, this young fellow seems to never have had good role models in his life who could help him have, shall we say, a bit of humility? He might be one of the brightest bulbs in the package at the White House, but there’s a much bigger world out there, with many other packages with far greater brightness.

I can’t help myself. I can only despise this young man for his arrogance, elitism and overall ignorance of the simplest matters in civics. Proof again, as if we needed it, that being a success in business doesn’t mean you have any intelligence at all.

Shorter Kushner: We haven’t thought of a way yet. But we’re working on it.

Isn’t this proof they fear losing?
Did they finally realize Trump’s already toast, so they might just try to stall the election as if there’s some way around the inevitable loss?
There’s no doubt, they will only make the threat if they are certain Trump will lose, even with all their cheating and suppression.
It is inevitable, they will turn completely mean and sour when they know they are losing. How it took them this long is the mystery to me, but in their desperate efforts to lie to Trump so he doesn’t rage I think a lot of them fooled themselves into believing it, and now reality is hitting hard.
But, as ever, beware of wounded beasts, they bite before they die.

As Pluckyinky always says: “Don’t give these people power they don’t have.” The result of a delayed election is President Pelosi. Jared, STFU.

Kushner will have to take a backseat on reelection now that Manafort has been released and will take over as campaign chairman.

Interesting that Kimmel shows clip of White House press secretary pointing out that masks prevent spreading the virus when White House staff hasn’t been wearing them and is having the virus spread through them!

“I have not been involved in, nor am I aware of any discussions about trying to change the date of the Presidential election,” Kushner said

Oh shit. He’s involved in and aware of discussions about trying to change the date of the presidential election!!! This statement was a dead giveaway.

From your link:

The only hard deadline spelled out in the Constitution is the end of a president’s term and a vice president’s term on January 20 of the year following a general election.

And:

The Constitution’s 20th Amendment also requires the president and vice president to end their terms of office on January 20 at noon in the year following the general election.
