Eviction party anyone? I’ll bring the everclear and a sledgehammer

After she had informed them of her plan to leave, she said, the management office had retroactively charged her $200 more rent for each of the three past months, saying that her prior year’s lease had expired. It was tough for her to make the extra payments, since the seafood restaurant she worked at was now takeout only, but she was planning on paying them. “I don’t want to hurt my credit,” she said.

Sounds like a great opportunity for pro-bono work from some lawyers who want to make a real impact in people’s lives while sticking it to Kushner.

I hate Kushner and his heartless ways
trump and his heartless and needlessly cruel ways
They have soiled the history of a once great nation and cratered its way of life. How any rational voter could choose a repeat performance by trump is something I fail to grasp. He is not a republican. He is not a conservative. He is not rational. He is impulsive, selfish to a sick extreme, vain like no one I have ever seen, boorish, bumbling, utterly lacking any thing resembling leadership ability, inconsistent, incompetent. He does not think issues through. He rejects data driven advice, science, and medical advice. He is and will remain a clear and present danger to America as long as he has command authority. That we have not been in a nuclear war is at this point miraculous as he has asked why we cannot use nukes on Iran to settle that issue once and for all.
trump needs to be evicted.

Given that the homeless are the next “them” that right-wing fear-mongers are going after, I suspect Kush is just making sure there will be enough to go around…

“Rent still due in Kushnerville”.
Initially I misunderstood the headline. I had hopes that Jared had had a big debt come due and he had failed to pay up and that his company was going into receivership.
No such luck.
Rats.

This is just a giant spreadsheet for these guys like Kushner and the hedge funds that have gotten into rental properties in a big way. Relentless evictions, raise the rent every chance they get, charge criminal late fees, etc. Squeeze one side of the spreadsheet and watch the other side balloon to the point of bursting.

You know what America needs? An official poorhouse that can take about 40 million people.

Is it just me, or is that a freaklishly long, alien-esque neck stalk?

Looks like her pinhead could wobble off the stalk at any moment…

Yeah, they’re pretty smooth all right. That is the kind of wrinkle free existence that comes from never having to worry about anything actually real.

The New American Aristocracy.

The thing about greed, is that no matter how much money you amass, you’re never happy enough.

So, you’re never really happy.

Be jealous of rich people if you want, but they don’t really have it better than you. In fact your jealousy is much the same as their greed.

I will be exceedingly grateful should Kushner get his comeuppance once tRump is out of office. I will not be holding my breath that it will happen, but it would be a beautiful thing to behold

Do I ever need to read this much about Kushner and his empire? Naaaaaaw…

You and me both, brother. The thing that is equally disturbing as Kushner’s smug.heartless greed, is the small army of heartless fucks who implement it. They walk among us.

It’s just grotesque that this cheating, money-grubbing pair get a break from being exposed as the greedy evil-doers they are simply because of skin color and the wearing pretty outfits and speaking in a breathy falsetto.

We really, really, really need one of those cases where Kushner is sentenced to live in one of his own buildings. For maybe five years.
