Good old Jared and Ivanka......


Jan 15, 2021, 8:38 AM

I’m usually the first to treat stories like this with a skeptical eye, but I have no trouble believing this one. It sounds just like these two.

Honestly, I think that if you’re examining the biggest obstacles to Trump’s success as President, coming in a very close 2nd to his ego was having Jared and Ivanka whispering in his ear at every turn. I think Jared probably kept a lot of qualified people out of the cabinet and other appointed positions, because just like an insecure manager in the workplace, he feared competence, and when someone showed too much, just like the snake character in Disney’s Robin Hood, he’d plant a few seeds in Trump’s easily influenced head and have them sacked.

But the nepotism there has probably bothered me more than anything else over the course of the entire 4 years. They weren’t qualified to be where they were, period. Ideologically, they were also extremely liberal, and are a big part of why people like Bannon got sacked so quickly (and yes I realize many of you view that as a silver lining).

Their politics are consistent with whoever's in their proximity at the moment. Their only concerns are themselves and wealth.

Re: Javanka's ideologically promiscuous.


Jan 15, 2021, 9:29 AM

I know. I certainly personally would not describe some of the narcissistic entitled blue-blooded Trust Fund Baby stuff I've heard coming out of Kushner's mouth as "liberal".

His crime bill was pretty liberal...but he was also trying to get his felon father cleared. Maybe empathy originates from having it happen to you; I've heard that theory. But you can very much tell Jared believed his dad was entitled to all that money he bilked from people, Jared was entitled to that life of privilege he'd always lived, and he and Ivanka dipped their toes into just enough trendy causes to keep themselves in the good graces of the New York social scene. But they were and are aristocrats to the bone, both of them, and that's sort of the hallmark trait of far-right types.

Q,

It always amazes me how so many working-class people ever thought that these millionaires understood their problems or gave a ratzass about them.

I really am starting towards the notion that overcoming the social stratification created by generational wealth may be our biggest problem going forwards. This little bio Vox did on Tucker Carlson sort of cements the view of "what is wrong with the Republican party and maybe the country" right now.

Q,

I agree. The oligarchy loves it when the working classes are fighting among themselves.

So do you favor an inheritance tax for the uber-wealthy ? Or a wealth tax ? How would you reduce the passing on of generational wealth ?
