5 reasons anonymous White House officials say they can’t stand Jared Kushner



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/here-are-5-reasons-anonymous-white-house-officials-say-they-cant-stand-jared-kushner/

1. He whines a lot. Even though no one forced Kushner to take on a role as a top adviser to his wife’s father, sources say he regularly complains that his association with the scandal-plagued Trump White House is damaging his reputation.

2. He regularly skips town when bad news hits. Staffers tell the Times they were particularly annoyed that Kushner and First Daughter Ivanka Trump took a ski holiday back in March on the same weekend that the original version of the Republicans’ Obamacare replacement bill crashed and burned in the House.

3. His family is using his connections with Trump to hawk visas to Chinese investors. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Kushner Companies gave a presentation to wealthy Chinese investors that informed them that they could get American visas if they invested in the Kushners’ real estate projects — and they even name-checked both Jared Kushner and Trump during the presentation. Sources tell the Times that even President Trump was annoyed by this, and he’s made “snarky, disparaging comments” about Kushner’s family in recent weeks.

4. Trump gives Kushner a lot of jobs — and he takes no responsibility for doing them. Among other things, Trump has tasked Kushner with bringing peace to the Middle East, solving the opioid crisis, and reorganizing the executive branch of the United States government. In reality, however, sources tell the Times that he often avoids “messy aspects of his job that he would simply rather not do — he has told associates he wants nothing to do with the legislative process.”

here -- all of them creeps and snakes who slithered in with rump. And no doubt every one of each faction is hostile to every other faction, and none more resented than the "undeserving" family members with outsize influence.

Kushner's no angel, but I find it completely plausible that he would never have been involved with rump-the-candidate-or-president if he hadn't already been married to his daughter. After that, even a true angel trying to do damage control in that snake pit would end up filthy and bleeding from fang wounds.

Of course he'd at least want to dissociate himself as much as possible, something they can't do, and as for those cliques of crooks being unhappy because he can make money in ways they cannot? Lol.

This is about how people of extremely bad character are dissing someone they're jealous of.

So, roll in this muck with caution.

No, I do not support Kushner.

I do believe there is enough reality based facts to convict Kushner many times over or at least keep him in court for the rest of his life without this tabloid gossip muddying the waters. Which, I will remind you is exactly the sort of Social Media horseshit that the Kremlin/Bannon shipped out to land us in this nightmare in the first place.

Put that in your smug pipe and smoke it.

1/ he's whiney little snot

2/ yells "not me" when something gets broken

3/His Daddy can beat up your Daddy

4/wants his allowance, without doing his chores

5/ If you tell on him, he will beat up your little brother

He is just like his fil, man child who expects everyone to cater to him. Ivanka married her Daddy, who once said he would hit that if she weren't his daughter.

Does he even bother to address any of these issues? Twitler handed over most of the responsibilities of the presidents this little Lord Fauntleroy's and has he bother to even have a meeting on 1 of these issues?

For someone who has been given a huge amount of responsibility within the administration, it is a little odd that he's never talked to the press.

He is selling access to the White House, enriching himself, his family, his business.

When your interest shaping policy, you're accountable to the public.

When you're interest is selling access, you increase the portfolio, but none of the accountability.

Like the sister was doing, pay us 500,000 dollars and in return you will get US citizenship, look how close my brother is to the president of the United States.

Mobsters, criminals, embezzlers, cut the right people in and have your own secret back channel
