Some of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's new neighbors aren't exactly pleased to have them in the town of Surfside, Florida.
"All but banished from Washington after January 6, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have been hiding out in a little no-frills town in South Florida," the Washingtonian reported this week. "Its Trumpy mayor couldn't be more thrilled, but the former First Kids have had a frostier welcome from another set of locals."
One Surfside resident, who asked to remain anonymous because she continues to live near the couple, told the magazine she first encountered Ivanka Trump last June. The former White House adviser was walking her little white dog Winter (believed to be a Pomeranian mix) near the couple's seaside condo building. The resident said she watched as Trump "led the dog off the pathway toward the beach, right past a sign that clearly said dogs weren't allowed."
"The resident, a beach activist who finds high purpose in protecting Surfside's loggerhead sea turtles during nesting season, mobilized," the Washingtonian reported, adding that Ivanka Trump must have walked past the large beach rules notice saying "no dogs allowed" scores of times before then.
"I was speed-walking at her and yelling at her," the resident recalled. "I just opened my mouth and said, 'You can't go out there with the dog!'"

a fawning dumbf*ck citizenry, and most of the D.A.s and A.G.s there in their pockets. All the way back to that eye/batting clown Pam Bondi, who took cash to make the local T___p University case go away.
Its a large part of why that state along with a few others are on my Do Not Visit/Do Not Patronize list.
Its where democracy, common sense and the rule of law all go to first bake in the sun and then eventually die.

(19,201 posts)which is why BimboBarbie walked right past the sign with her dog.
I believe her to be one of those entitled people who doesn't clean up their dog's mess, no matter where it is. Could you imagine BimboBarbie picking up a dog turd wearing anything less than a full hazmat suit? Not even then, I'm inclined to believe.

(9,705 posts)about them moving there and let them know from the beginning they would not be welcomed in their club that's on the property. Might be waiting to sell or something. Surfside is where that condo building collapsed not too long ago.

(10,885 posts)when the panel was discussing Jarvanka's move to Florida. Ana happened to mention that she is a member of the exclusive club on the island that the Kushner's would most likely be applying to, and stated there was no way in Hell they'd be getting her vote for membership. Others in the club are apparently in agreement.

(5,586 posts)If I remember correctly, that's the island that has a golf course and like 25 lots, and 20 of them were already completed. The island has its own police force, and 1 guarded bridge that grants access to the island. They had to get sign off from a majority of members in order to even buy the lot that they planned to build on.

(10,885 posts)In fact, they've already been told they aren't welcome in the Club. It takes only ONE negative vote to exclude them. Ana is that vote (plus a few more).
Here's an article that confirms:
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/ivanka-trump-brutally-snubbed-by-elite-indian-creek-country-club/news-story/8aece993fcc3a49c3405ca94921d3d96
The island community one of the wealthiest in the US has just 29 residences, and residents include Julio Iglesias, Carl Icahn, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen but owning a home there doesnt mean you get automatic membership to the country club, Page Six reports.
A local source sniped, You have to be nominated and make a formal application. But it only takes one member to object against any new member, and many members are objecting, particularly after the events at the Capitol on January 6.
Jared and Ivanka can lunch with their fellow patriots at Mar-a-Lago (the Florida resort Donald Trump bought in 1985).
The Indian Creek Country Club members are very picky and the word is that Ivanka need not apply.
ETA: Upon further exploration, apparently IRCC is also known for its admissions policy which doesn't favor Jewish members. Of the 300 club members, only one island resident - Carl Ichan - is Jewish.
See here: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-2000-04-02-0004020008-story.html
*snip*
Florida law allows a club with fewer than 400 members to exclude whomever it wishes. The Indian Creek Country Club has about 300 members. There has never been a black member, and only a few Jews belong.
*snip*
"I just feel that currently, there is not a lot of enthusiasm for bringing in Jewish members," said member Wayne Becker, a former club president. "The club is basically made up of people from up North. ... The board resists change."
*snip*
"It's the last private club in the area to judge people on their religion and perhaps their race," said Arthur N. Teitelbaum, southern area director of the Anti-Defamation League.
The only Jewish island resident who belongs to the club is Carl Icahn, the billionaire financier. He joined in 1997. He would not discuss how he became a member.
Not looking good for the Kushner's. All together now: "Awwwwww".

(32,639 posts)... (with the possible exception of Melania.) They really had moved out of town right after the election, they already started building the house on the island in Florida. Yes Ivanka was there with her dad on January 6th, but she wasn't hoping it would happen. She screamed at her father trying to get him to call the whole thing off. At least that's what Bob Woodward and the other reporters are saying.
Jared was already out of the White House even in December. He knew he only had a month to get "peace in the Middle East" all set up. It was a worthless effort of course. Whether Jared and Ivanka can make any success with the rest of their lives remains to be seen. But it would be unfair and incorrect to lay blame on them for having anything to do with the Insurrection. They did enough shit BEFORE the election.
