Kushner to Woodward on April 18, 2020: "Trump’s now back in charge. It’s not the doctors."

Jeffrey Guterman @JeffreyGuterman 3m
Kushner to Woodward on April 18, 2020: "The last thing was kind of doing the guidelines ... it was almost like Trump getting the country back from the doctors. Right? In the sense that what he now did was, you know, he’s going to own the open-up."

Jeffrey Guterman @JeffreyGuterman 2m
Kushner to Woodward on April 18, 2020: "And what Trump’s been able to do is, I say he basically did a full hostile takeover of the Republican Party. And I don’t think it’s even as much about the issues. I think it’s about the attitude."

1. Haha! Do tell

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Keep Trump defending in the news cycle all week

I knew there were scandals held back until this week.

[chuckperth]

28. Frustraiting wait

Glad they are dropping it now. It makes sense.

[Lars39]

3. Good! Should help in their prosecution.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

4. Shocker, out of touch rich kid who doesn't know when to shut up..

Thanks Jared, you are exactly who we thought you were.

[Clearly fogged in]

5. Hostile takeover, assets, equity, forced positions. Please continue

[Captain Zero]

57. HOSTILE TAKEOVER explains all the brown nosing

Of Republicans to him. Must have been a lot of blackmail and other threats.

[Clearly fogged in]

58. Let's split into 2 groups

The victims or targets of blackmail and threats.
The willing accomplices like McConnell, Graham, and Barr. No one can peel back how far the layers of corruption go.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

6. Oh good.

tRump's hostile takeover of the Republican party confirmed by his son in law. tRump's hostile takeover of control over the deadly Coronavirus from scientific experts and medical personnel confirmed by his son in law.
The reality show drama continues. Let's hope this revelation is a thread that actually contributes to the unraveling of the tRump family evil empire by winding itself around their scheming necks.
Or will MSM ignore it?

[Mariana]

63. There was no hostile takeover of the Republican Party.

That right there is a crock of shit.

[Beartracks]

68. Maybe they'd like to think of it egotistcally as a takeover...

... but the GOP was already selling its soul.

========

[Mariana]

69. What soul?

Trump retains nearly 100% support among Republican voters. Republican elected officials have cheered him on and rubber-stamped everything he's wanted, in lockstep. Many popular and influential Republican Christian leaders have preached that loyalty to Trump is essentially a tenet of the Christian faith. The Republican Party declined to write a platform this year, instead they published a letter stating that they intend to enthusiastically support Trump in whatever he wants.

There was no takeover, hostile or otherwise. Trump is the leader the Republicans have wished for. He is the very embodiment of Republicanism.

[Beartracks]

70. That is it exactly.

========

[NoRoadUntravelled]

71. Can't argue with that. I still find it fascinating that not many ranking Republicans

seemed all that crazy about him until after he was elected. Then they did a 180. It was enough of a turn around for Lindsay Graham to be featured in a Lincoln Project ad. It's my understanding that Graham played a game of golf with the new POTUS and was suddenly a great supporter. I wonder how it happened with the others.

[Mariana]

72. I think they jumped on board as soon as they realized

that their voters back home were enthralled with Trump. When it became clear how popular he was with them, and they had the House and the Senate, the ranking Republicans realized this was their big chance to do a bunch of the things they've wanted to do all along.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

74. Damn straight! Ive been saying for years that Republicans

were everything that they have now proven themseves to be.

So many people said I was being too hard on them & overestimating their bigotry, corruption, dishonestly, hypocrisy, lack of decency & morals, disdain for justice, etc., etc., etc.

Despite the RW propaganda trying to deny it, all the clues were there. I never understood how so many people didn't see it.

[Boogiemack]

7. Son of con, married to a con whose father is a con. What can I say? nt

[dalton99a]

18. +1

[Kid Berwyn]

29. Con Founded.

Too bad what they did to America, but, hey! Putin’s happy.

[erronis]

41. And everyone else is a "mark", a rube, a loser, sucker.

[Solly Mack]

[Laelth]

9. Woodward taped a couple of conversations with Kushner.

He mentions them in his most recent book. This is not exactly a new revelation.

-Laelth

[bigtree]

12. I don't remember hearing the audio

article/audio: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/politics/woodward-kushner-coronavirus-doctors/index.html

It's not breaking among several news orgs this hour for nuthin'...right?

[Laelth]

14. No. You're right.

Woodward describes the conversations in his book, and he tells us that the conversations were recorded, but, to my knowledge, the recordings have not yet been made public. Evidently, they have now.

-Laelth

[highplainsdem]

10. Good!

[Caliman73]

11. Yep. That is fascism right there...

Kushner to Woodward on April 18, 2020: "And what Trump’s been able to do is, I say he basically did a full hostile takeover of the Republican Party. And I don’t think it’s even as much about the issues. I think it’s about the attitude."

Ceremony over policy. Hostile takeover. Nationalism. Making the press the enemy. Sowing distrust in institutions in order to silence opposition.

They like to brag and give away the playbook.

[erronis]

42. Obviously many of the (r)epuglicons wanted to be part of the looting, defiling

of the US.

McTurtle, Meadows, Jordan, Nunes, Graham, Collins, ...
I'd just have to list the whole of the repuglicons in congress, including RMoney.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

48. Of course terminally greedy Donny took over Greed Over People. . . . nt

[certainot]

55. through limbaugh/talk radio putin took over the republican party since at least 2008

when mccain had campaign co chair manafort, who had hooked up with russian agent klimnick 2 years before and was basically working for putin - job description was to get putin favorites elected in foreign countries, and llimbaugh would not support mccain until minutes after he picked palin. palin had been wooed by russian oil and gas.

are russians calling rw radio shows? is limbaugh mentor conrad black, who supports russian joining G8 a conduit? all putin had to do was feed limbaugh - limbaugh cordinates with trump - there are plenty of indirect rw media ways to get limbaugh material to feed to all 1500 rw radio stations...... the collusion was right under our nose

[Cha]

73. Yeah, it's trump's Fucking "attitude" toward

humanity that has him hated by the majority of Americans.

[MrsCoffee]

75. By the majority of the world. nt

[Cha]

76. Oh Yes.. what was I thinking.. TY!

[Blue Owl]

13. K&R

[moondust]

15. Like skyjacking, Jared?

Terrorist hijacks a plane from professional pilots and crashes it, creating a disaster with many dead.

Fake pResident hijacks a pandemic from medical professionals and crashes it, creating a disaster with many dead.

Like that, Jared?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

67. There are over 330 million passengers on the plane hijacked by Donnie Death

Jarvanka, like the entire GOP, doesn't waste a second of thought for the people dying. Jarvanka and GOP care only about power and wealth.

[elleng]

16. 'And I don't think it's even as much about the issues. I think it's about the attitude."'

[ancianita]

17. Diktatspeak. The language of one man rule.

[calimary]

19. "He's going to own the open-up."

He’s certainly going to own the “lock him up.”

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Yes he does own it. Opening up was a deadly failure and tRump & Kushner own it. . . . nt

[Javaman]

20. wow, ken doll truly is a blithering idiot. nt

[KS Toronado]

21. "Trump's now back in charge. It's not the doctors." Well he is smarter than all Doctors,

Generals, grave diggers (look how he packs them in) What could possibly go wrong?
How about 400,000 deaths before he's dragged out of the White House in a straight jacket.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. Any recordings about him seizing the PPE...

... that so many healthcare workers were pleading to get?

That body-snatcher pod-born piece of shit!

[moonscape]

23. He said it was like a 'negotiated settlement' with the doctors! n/t

[liberalla]

24. Oh my! This is going to be interesting! If I was a repuke leader, that would piss me off...

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Quotes in a book are one thing. 'Mericans need audio or video to have them take notice.

Sad but true. This is not going to help RUMP, hurt him - doubtful, BUT it doesn't help.

[Roland99]

38. but there IS actual audio

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/politics/woodward-kushner-coronavirus-doctors/index.html

several clips

[erronis]

45. Thanks. Damning.

[NoMoreRepugs]

64. I thought that was the point I was making. Book has been out for weeks - now this item is getting

out into the mainstream cuz of the audio being released.

[Roland99]

65. ah....yeah...i see what you meant now

[Takket]

26. Serious question. Is this a homicide case?

[roamer65]

30. Definitely manslaughter.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. I've become more keen to the idea...

... that it's all been intentional, not the result of stupidity/incompetence and no different than if Putin himself was our President.

What's that saying from Maya Angelou? When people show you who they are, believe them.

[OMGWTF]

56. Full quote: "When people show you who they are believe them. The first time."

[Buckeye_Democrat]

62. Thank you! nt

[smb]

59. Do Coronavirus Deaths Quality For Putin's Dead-Americans Bounty? Asking For A Foe.... nt

[Sherman A1]

27. Oh, my

this could prove very interesting.

[DallasNE]

31. So Trump "owning" The Open Up

Means Trump also owns wave 2 and wave 3 of Covid-19 and the excess deaths that has resulted from those waves.

[xxqqqzme]

32. Arrogant little prick

If that pictures doesn't epitomize white privilege. I don't know what would.

[marble falls]

34. The little twerp finally gets some heat. Turn it up!

[Brainfodder]

35. With his 10+ (?) demanding govt. jobs, how did he find time for interviews?

How many times did he adjust his "paperwork" for the clearance back in the day?

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. Nice work, Jar-jar...you putz.

First of all, if a surreptitious take-over of the republic is your goal, prolly best not to advertise it. Second, and tradecraft aside...this is not something to brag about.

I forget who said this, but it's as true as the day is long...or the night, which is closer to the mark these days:

"Donald, just because Jared Kushner is smarter than you, that doesn't make him smart."

Bullseye.

[Sancho]

37. ...and October's not over yet! Damn...

...any more Halloween surprises?

[lindysalsagal]

39. This won't get the dems any votes. The magats want him to strongarm everyone

It makes them feel better about themselves.

[crickets]

40. Hubris is coming back to bite you, isn't it, Jared? What a sick control freak. nt

[Lock him up.]

43. Just who do these mob$teR$ think they R??

Mass-murderers on a massive-killing spree for Putin and the Saudis?

[progressoid]

44. In the grand scheme of things, this won't amount to much.

It's sad. but considering all the shit in the Trump shit-show, this is kind of minor.

[Grins]

46. So he could whut????

So he could “own the open-up”?

Is that a thing?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

47. Donny tRump is ONLY about attitude. . . . nt

[TruckFump]

49. Thanks, Jered, for the OCTOBER SURPRISE!!!

Looks like you knocked that one out of the park!!

[tonedevil]

51. Was it really a hostile takeover?

Sure he grabbed the Republican Party by the pussy, but he was a celebrity so they let him.

[underpants]

52. 17 candidates. Trump didn't get a majority of votes in their primaries

He won the early ones with 20% of the vote if memory serves

[matt819]

53. Which of the late night hosts had the line. . .

Please, do go on.

[OMGWTF]

54. There is no Republican party; it's the Trump Party now.

They didn't even have a platform at their last convention other than "Whatever Trump said."

[smb]

61. First They Just Recycled The 2016 Platform...

...complete with a plethora of unmodified "The present administration is (doing bad thing)" statements.

After people found out about that and pointed and laughed at them, they gave up having any platform at all other than fealty to il Doofus.

[malaise]

60. One more October surprise coming up

Ha

[rockfordfile]

66. Lock them up

[kairos12]

77. Brooks Brother Fascist.

Vile waste of breath. Same for his disgusting wife.
