Kushner With Zelensky

What was Kushner doing at a dinner for diplomats?

“An image has been shared on social media of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky sitting next to White House adviser Jared Kushner at a diplomatic dinner with European leaders, some seven weeks before the controversial phone call between President Donald Trump and Zelensky that sparked impeachment proceedings.

So far, Kushner's name has been far from the growing firestorm in Washington over the call and the whistleblower's document alleging Trump pressured Zelensky into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter.

The picture, uploaded to photo-sharing site Flickr, shows Trump's son-in-law sitting with Zelensky to his right on June 4, two weeks after the Ukrainian president's inauguration.
The picture's caption noted that the dinner marked the U.S. Mission to the EU's annual Independence Day celebrations and was hosted by the U.S. Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland.”

hanging out with one brings anti-social tendencies to the surface. This is a large part of what Erich Fromm discusses in his classic book "On Human Destructiveness." He examines individual sociopaths, and their affect upon systems.

We still need to talk about the fact that it's Pootie who doesn't want US aid going to Ukraine. He wants to be sure Ukraine has nothing to defend itself against the (eventual) Russian takeover.

Chump is doing this for Putin and nobody else.

Not out of any sense of loyalty, but because he knows the Dems are the only thing (in the US) keeping a lid on him. This way he's setting up the next (R) to win; s/he will say "See? Only we (R's) can control Putin; he invades other countries during (D) adminstrations".

Never mind that Donnie has actually undermined actions to punish Russia for annexing Crimea, much to the blinking acceptance of the MSM and the (Rs).

I was wondering why the tensions between Iran and S. Arabia have escalated so much in recent months. The pussy ass bitch must have re-assigned JarJar to focus on getting dirt on the Bidens, a much higher priority than peace in the Middle East.

They are such low life scum that they thought that this was a golden opportunity to manufacture a character assassination plot against Biden. Kushner is a perfect addition to family. Another lowlife that has the morals of a greedy slum lord.

The administration is going to put Donald's henchman on Pres. Z until he agrees to make up charges against the Bidens.
