... and Kushner* too. He was the one that whispered into tRumplethinskin's ear on those long, lonely campaign flights that all would be well and they would reap the great rewards. Kushner* belongs in prison, plain and simple.

Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. Were Close to Being Charged With Felony Fraud

New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.

I admit Trump is turning up the screech factor, but I don't see it as being emboldened. Ivanka tweeting that comparison of Trump to Thomas Jefferson sounds as if she’s rushing to kiss daddy’s boo boo. It has the stink of panic. And Don Jr’s hiding behind his girlfriend’s screaming defense of him AGAINST THEIR FANS and then running away and leaving her to save herself like he always does shows fear.

None of them are emboldened. It’s crazed panic knee jerk desperation.

the rule of law, impeachment hearings, etc. They know Republicans aren't going to do a damn thing to them.

Fat Nixon is hosting the spectacularly corrupt Erdoğan in the White House and lying about #unwantedivanka creating jobs.

Ivanka compares her father to one of our Founding Fathers. Most Americans won't sweat the details of Jefferson's words, but she was schooled by many Twitter users on Sally Hemings and their children, nepotism, the Constitution, etc. She won't care. They never admit they're wrong.

Greasy Son #2 had the nerve to attend NYC's Veteran's Day parade in spite of the fact that the Trump Organization was recently busted for diverting money from vets. Greasy Son #1 tweeted a video of a WWII veteran at the parade threatening to kill Trump protesters.

Jared and his crew are supposedly live-streaming construction of the wall.

They're marketing the hell out of this administration and his supporters are lapping it up.

10. That's all public relations marketing as usual for them

Going through the motions which is as second nature as breathing is just doing what they know how to do. It’s all an act all the time. They have no clue how to act differently. They’ve never been genuine people. That’s why they keep sticking their foot in their mouth. They don’t bend with the winds of change, because they don’t have plan B, much less plan C.

They’ve probably never even had a sincere conversation with each other. Donald Trump tells them what to think, and they do.

Fantasy, I know. Americans were stupid enough to elect two Bushes (well, technically one) but wisened up when it came to Jeb. My fear is that we'll suffer another Trump administration but with either Junior or Ivanka at the helm. God help us.

May they decide it simply isn’t lucrative enough for them to bother staying here. Let them pursue international Trump Towers in other countries, where only the corrupt will go.

Send them on the first human occupied flight to Mars. Doesn't have to get ffar past the atmosphere, but we'll tell them it's to Mars.


Ah what the hell, fling it into the Sun, it's the only way to be sure.

To get nervous about wrongdoing. Not one of them possess a conscious, especially the slumlord Kushner and his wife.

But they do have a very strong sense of self preservation. At any expense, especially if someone else gets to pay the price. If they see no way out they will feel fear. The more they twist to get out of it the more they will feel fear. That’s what I think they’re beginning to feel.

Their usual ploys aren’t working. And as they try newer ploys they aren’t working either.
