I’d lament that, but the rules were set a while back, by the MAGA movement. They were perfectly happy with this sort of shit against the opposition. Don’t want shit to be that way? They shouldn’t have made it that way. Zero tears shed for them. The chose a republic that operated by rule of the gun instead of the rule of law. Pretty hypocritical to whine about the gun being pointed back at them.

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. \[Redacted\]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Mom

Sounds like future president material to me.

I’m not kidding, not even a little bit. That is the sort of character we the people admire and value now. Embrace it. Own it.

This board had been long overdue for a “Leftist Extremist Violence Thread”.

Trump selects Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, for ambassador to France. 

No fucks given.

Trump just named Jared's father, Charles Kushner — who he pardoned in 2020 — to be Ambassador to France.

Kushner hatched a scheme involving a prostitute to entrap his brother-in-law and eventually pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations.

Chris Christie called it "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he ever prosecuted as U.S. attorney.

"over 60 jury trials."  *more than

I had to call bullshit on that, but he started out as a public defender then actually a federal public defender (they tend not to hire clowns).  Shithead has a bit more credible resume than I had thought.

In the Slow Horses books, Jackson Lamb talks about taking a Donald.

He’s not even trying to be slick and get shit done.  He could have someone smart to change the FBI from the inside and work to divulge info from other countries etc.  Instead he picks the dumbest sycophants he can, so nothing will get done and in many cases nobody will even work / collaborate with his merry band of morons.

Intrigued about the process for Kushner.  Ambassador nominees have to go through a process called agrement, which is a quiet check with the receiving country to ensure the person is acceptable.

It’s extremely poor form to announce a name publicly before the process and often if that happens the receiving country will refuse agrement as a matter of principle if it happens.  Kushner almost certainly hasn’t had it as the transition teams haven’t even been in agencies. 
 

That’s not to say I think it will happen here.  Plenty of countries will accept the most odious people if they believe it will result in special access to the sending government or head of state.  Just another example of Trump shitting on everything and making a mockery of the country though.

Do you think for one second that tfg's transition team has any idea of the normal processes?  Or if so, do you think they care?

Purely rhetorical of course.  I know we both know the answers to those questions.

Oh, I know they don’t care but this is a formal process, it’s not possible outside those lines. It has to be done via the current head of the diplomatic mission with a formal note.  Not saying he didn’t tell Macron it was coming somehow, but they can’t have gotten the actual process done and France still gets a vote.

Macron will accept him in exchange for an hour with Ivanka.
