Axios Kushner interview is a thing. The amount of things he does not know about, or were way in the past is an impressive body of answers. He both manages to trip over his own statement, and deny knowing anything.

This is a pretty unsatisfying way that Axios presents it clips making you dig al over and clip a bunch. Slate does a better job delivering the painful moments, but it is hardly unbiased.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a sobering assessment of the prospects of the Trump administration’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan in a closed-door meeting with Jewish leaders, saying ‘‘one might argue’’ that the plan is ‘‘unexecutable’’ and it might not ‘‘gain traction.’’ He expressed his hope that the deal isn’t simply dismissed out of hand.

‘‘It may be rejected. Could be in the end, folks will say, ‘It’s not particularly original, it doesn’t particularly work for me,’ that is, ‘it’s got two good things and nine bad things, I’m out,’ ‘‘ Pompeo said in an audio recording of the private meeting obtained by The Washington Post.


Buckle up for rage.

And all this time I was convinced Jared Kushner would find a way to establish peace in the Middle East! The plan is probably based on condo development.

?? Trump brought along the "kids" to the UK ??

Don Jr, Eric, and Tiffany are all on the trip, and attending official functions with dad? You can see that Barron might be in attendance, and Ivanka is part of the administration, but the others? Apparently he wanted a summit between his children and the royals.

He’s always desperately wanted to hang with the cool kids. Now he wants the same for his kids.

She's a grifter,

just like her brother.

Probably had grifter parents

and grifter grandparents...

and someday they're each

gonna spawn little grifter kids.

Give a couple bucks to Liz Warren and you get a whole lot of texts!

They want me (and everyone who donates) to host a debate party. They'll set me up with everything I need for it! Wonder if this includes booze.

Here's a shocker:

Trump appointed federal judge rules in favor of Trump, re: wall funding.

“McFadden’s decision ran counter to a 2015 ruling that found the then GOP-led House could sue the Obama administration for allegedly spending on an Affordable Care Act program that Congress never approved, a ruling that would have marked the first time the House was able to challenge an administration in court. The case was settled before it withstood appeal.”

Nah, not political at all.

Apparently the Dems are considering censure as an alternative to impeachment inquiries. The Dems never fail to be completely weak and unprepared for the task at hand. It’s pretty clear Trump and the R’s know the party is a complete joke and they can do whatever they want without consequence. They should keep going further and see how much they can get away with.

I wouldn't be alarmed, thephan. The trouble isn't that we see this stuff as "normal" (although it actually IS normal for THIS administration), the trouble is that there aren't enough hours in the day to comment on all of it.
