... but I feel a lot better about things now that Jared is on the case.
After all, he knows as much about handling a pandemic as Betsy DeVos knows about education, as much as Ben Carson knows about HUD, as much as Bill Barr knows about upholding the law, as much as Rick Perry knew about the Department of Energy (which he said should be abolished), as much as Kellyanne Conway knows about the Bowling Green Massacre, as much as Melania knows about standing up to bullies, and as much as "senior advisor" Ivanka knows about - well, anything.
We are in good hands, my friends. Trump promised to appoint "the very best people" to positions of power and oversight - and it's hard to argue that given Jared's expertise in disease control and his educational background in medicine and science, he isn't the perfect person to head-up the national response to a disease that threatens to kill hundreds of thousands of American citizens within a matter of months.
Above all else, Jared IS fucking the "pResident's" daughter. and it's only right that his father-in-law give him a job in the family business - i.e. fucking the country instead.

(27,818 posts)I was warned not to divulge the title of Trump's next reality series, which is "Jared is Fucking the pResident's Daughter-Wife".
Apparently, you have not been informed about the consequences of doing so.

(3,356 posts)"There is a clear pattern of Kushner Companies pursuing tenants over virtually any unpaid rent or broken lease even in the numerous cases where the facts appear to be on the tenants side. Not only does the company file cases against them, it pursues the cases for as long as it takes to collect from the overmatched defendants often several years. . . Hounding former tenants for money means paying to send out process servers who often report back that they were unable to locate the target. This does not deter Kushner Companies lawyers. They send the servers back out again a few months later."

(9,426 posts)in regards to this cabal of family members running the government? Do they agree that Jared is the "man for the job"? Do they see him as the next contender for their loyalty, no matter how unqualified? The gop proves daily that they have no idea how to run this country. We now have a "man" in charge of this disaster, who only qualified for admission to Harvard AFTER his daddy paid a hefty bribe - oops - made a donation to the school. EVERYONE should be outraged by this nepotism. What are his qualifications for this position? Oh, just as qualified for this as his father in law is for the presidency. How soon will Ivanka be replacing Mnuchin at his job?

- Hobble the congress and courts
- Weaken the military
- Demonize the opposition
- Sit back and reap the rewards
At worst, if this script doesn't play out,
- Wait four/eight years for adults to try to clean up
- Start the poisoning cycle over again

(111,351 posts)Of course, I live in a deep blue part of a blue state where Douchebag Donny is utterly despised,. but people didn't listen to the bullshit and started to self quarantine before any of the recommendations by the governor went out. People were keeping their distance in the supermarket, cabbies were driving with their windows open, people were taking common sense precautions.
This is why I put my faith in democracy, not in "leaders" of any persuasion. Leaders are reactive. People can be proactive. People around here got the point long before our leaders did. The wisdom of crowds is a real thing if they're not drowning in bullshit from Pox News, talk radio, and Farcebook.
We the people are doing the right things and not taking the guidance issued by a hideously corrupt and venal government. Always trust the people. Given the right information, we'll average out to get it right.
