Since @jaredkushner is now, by his own admission, willing to “put the facts and supporting information out publicly” in those (implicitly infrequent) instances “when the truth matters,” I have put together a list of questions for Jared’s consideration, concerning, among other things, his relationships with Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Iran, Tom Barrack, David Pecker, Peter Thiel, and Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the epic and tragic failure of his pandemic response.

Here are some #QuestionsForJared:

Excellent thread.

Nope. Fuck no.
You - the financial analysts, personal wealth managers, hedge fund managers, & all the rest of your ilk - got yourselves into this mess with eyes wild and souls drunk on Mammon (even though each and every one of you knew the valuations were madness). So, now you take your medicine.
BTW, high-rise windows are never an answer. Downsizing your life and embracing the fabric of reality is the pathway to joy.

@ClaireMPLS But Joshie has the hots for him, so…

America at war with Venezuela? So, not a law enforcement raid. These are dangerously delusional men. Impeach.

[Stephanie "LB" 🟧 @LincolnsBible]

So, what I’m getting from today’s lame duck quack-attack is that donald is the one who ordered the illegal strikes on civilian boats and the “triple tap” on the little girls’ school on day 1 of Iran war - among a plethora of other war crimes; and impeaching Hegseth would bring all of it to light. Not to mention the lies about number of fallen soldiers, the covering up of our destroyed bases in Middle East, and the general looting of the Pentagon’s coffers + all the trump-family-connected contracts.
Oh, the tangled web…

[Greg Olear @gregolear]

@gal_suburban I know all the other things are more important right now, but it must be said. This guy is such a pathetic loser.

[gal @gal_suburban]

No more reading, writing or strategizing for senior officers.
Just video games & chat bots.

This is how you lose wars.

This is how you drain the ranks of leaders worthy, qualified & equipped to prepare young men & women for the reality of war that this pathetic loser is foolishly driving toward.

[Greg Olear @gregolear]

@LunarseaNY Thanks! It’s one of the best ones IMHO.

A musical theatre reminder of who Stephen Miller is.

@JamieBonkiewicz This is just Bezos shoveling money her way, no? Or is she taking a principled You Can See Everything approach to the finances?

Not so random, when you look at where they got their initial &/or series funding & likely core tech.
These men were targeted from the get-go as useful idiots with sociopathic tendencies ripe for manipulation. They’re goobers who want to be gods, and every one of them sold whatever soul they had to become a myth. Some, while still in college.
Frauds, all.
Frauds.

Boy Cohn is losing it.

@laney502 @RachelBitecofer Genius.

This is the order:

1. It’s the corruption. The rampant criminality - much of it at the expense of national security,

2. It’s the masked men, snatching our neighbors off the streets and disappearing them.

3. It’s the illegal war.

4. It’s the techbro enabling & boot-licking, especially the sacrifice of our sacred land and natural resources for their AI fantasy of becoming gods.

5. It’s the exhaustion from a shameless culture war only one side is violently waging, while playing pearl-clutching victims.

6. It’s the Epstein Files, and the cabinet/coterie filled with rapists.

7. It’s the tacky decor, and all that’s being destroyed to spread it around like a gilded veneral disease.

8. And it’s that voters recognize that 1-7 above is what’s made everything unaffordable for us, while lavishing riches (from our hard earned tax dollars) on men who think themselves kings, and the women who enable them.

It’s that we know the stakes. We know them, because we’re living them. And because everyone who we just elected - and the media eco-system that is supposed to keep us informed, all said in unison that our very nation, and democracy itself, was on the line.

After the epic failure of Merrick Garland, we now know full well that if our newly elected majorities don’t start with #1, all is lost.

Speaker of the House and Senate majority leader must be aligned.

Call your reps. Make our voices heard loud and clear.

Is the morale low? In need of improvement?

Maybe its you, Pete.

[gal @gal_suburban]

CENTCOM doesn't do it's own thing. Enough excuses & scapegoats.

Trump is the commander in chief, demented or not.
Vance is his right hand when Natalie is painting the left.
Hegseth relays the orders thru unsecured channels.
Rubio stares at Cuba.

If anything, this military has been too compliant.

Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure.

On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.

[Rick Petree @RickPetree]

A good place to start with the questioning of Jared Kushner. There’s a lot more, of more recent vintage, but @gregolear kicks it off very well.
