Re: Jared Kushner news
Just another ethical conflict which will be allowed to slide. 
I'd like to know what kind of government/policy expertise he brings to the table.
ETA- It's feeling more like a royal family and less like a presidency.

He wishes he was royalty, and when the PEOTUS has NO political or military experience, what else did we think he would do? Again, bravo America.

Supposedly, he was behind Trump's entire political campaign.

Re: Jared Kushner news
It certainly seems to conflict with the anti-nepotism rules, and just adds to Trump's already lengthy list of potential conflicts of interest...but none of that seems to matter.

Every single time I see something that says "Breaking: Trump..." I think to myself "wouldn't it be more efficient if there was just a blanket statement saying "Every day something will happen to demonstrate how corrupt and incapable this man is."

He's not corrupt, Hillary is.
That is all that man kept claiming during the campaign.
Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black ?

Supposidly he is hosting a press conference Wednesday morning and apparently I guess will discuss this. Which means he will cancel it and just take to twitter and call people stupid for questioning it.

Re: Jared Kushner news
Seriously nothing surprises me anymore with this jackass. Can't wait to see his tweet about his son in-law. How great he thinks he is. No conflict of interest there at all

If he's not paid a "salary", a lot of times they can skirt the nepotism rules. So, Donald will hire him as an "adviser", not give him a "salary", but the deals he will make in his position will net him millions. Jared has more real estate dealings than his FIL does, so he'll be making tons of conflict-of-interest deals to make sure he makes as much money as possible.

Probably true and in the meantime a ton of senate confirmation hearings will be going on while all we'll hear about are his ridiculous tweets.

These "blind trusts" by Donald and Jared are the difference between Ray Charles, and Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles...
I don't think Jared is even planning on a blind trust. He's just signing everything over to his immediate family (father, mother, brother)... yeah, because that will prevent him from making deals specifically designed to help that company....

Nepotism laws were created in 1967 in response to JFK's appointment of his brother for Attorney General. Ironically, in 1993 when Bill asked Hillary to work on healthcare in the White House, the law was challenged in the court and it was determined that it applied to appointed members, not technically WH staff. That is the loophole that they are trying to use.

Hopefully it won't take long for him to be impeached.

This is what I am hoping for. Not that Pence is much better but anyone is preferable to him.
