Who Wants To Read About Savvy Peacemaking Genius Jared Kushner WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

In advance of the public House Select Committee January 6 hearings (starting tomorrow!), the New York Times has just dropped a large piece on two figures who have talked to the January 6 Committee, but whose voices we otherwise haven't heard much in this process: golden daughter Ivanka Trump and her grifter husband Prince Jared of Kushner. What were they doing during all that time, and could they have done anything to stop Daddykins from mounting a coup and ordering attacks on America?

Or were they just totally checked out? Peter Baker's sources would like you to know that they were just totally checked out:

On Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, barely 24 hours after President Donald J. Trump claimed in the middle of the night that “frankly, we did win this election,” Jared Kushner woke up in his Kalorama mansion and announced to his wife that it was time to leave Washington. “We’re moving to Miami,” he said.

When there is a story in the newspaper about Jared and Ivanka and it cites "people close to them," the skeptical reader should always assume they are personally whispering to reporters, or directing people to whisper to reporters, in order to make themselves look good. So when we read that "neither Mr. Kushner nor Ivanka Trump believed then or later that the election had been stolen, according to people close to them," it's reasonable to assume this is a personal message from those two, to please not include them in any unseemly discussions about who did or did not do a coup on America.

While the president spent the hours and days after the polls closed complaining about imagined fraud in battleground states and plotting a strategy to hold on to power, his daughter and son-in-law were already washing their hands of the Trump presidency.

We bet. Baker writes that their relative absence was what allowed fucking crazy people like Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani to take up so much of Donald Trump's time during those months. That sounds right, because before Jared and Ivanka left, everything was just smooth sailing and nobody crazy ever got to fill Trump's head with syphilitic brain thoughts and crime strategy.

Seth Meyers Points Out Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Are Always on Vacation When Trump 'Goes Haywire'

BY TUFAYEL AHMED ON 8/18/17 AT 6:43 AM EDT

In fact, Meyers pointed out that the couple have been taking a lot of vacations this year—which happen to coincide with fresh disarray in the White House.

"How often do these two go on vacation?" Meyers asked. "Every time something goes haywire in the Trump administration, it seems like they're nowhere to be found."

"When Don Jr.'s emails with the Russian lawyer surfaced in July, they were at a conference in Sun Valley, Idaho," Meyers said.

"When Trump was nearing the 100-day milestone with no accomplishments to showcase, they were in Whistler, Canada, for a Passover ski trip."

4. Jared helped with the transition stuff? I remember after 2016

when Obama did the normal of hosting the POTUS elect to the White House that Jared asked how many people needed to be replaced. Kind of dumbfounded, the Obama people told him “All of them” (surely with “you f’ing dumbass” under their breath).

6. He got what he wanted, and he moved on.

After all, TFG claims that "transactional" is his favorite word.

7. As I read I wondered how much of that Saudi $2Bil the NYTimes fluff piece cost Prince Kush

8. I hadn't realized Peter Baker wrote that bilge.

It was so full of "sources close to Kushner" that I was sure it was Ivanka whispering in Maggie's ear again.

Shame because Peter Baker generally is a pretty solid reporter, but that story is an embarrassment.

9. I'm reccing this because your post title made me smile

right after reading something particularly difficult to get through. Thanks for that.
