What a catalogue of disgusting, malicious behavior. Imagine doing just one of the heinous acts that criminal has committed. How would one live with oneself? He is a sociopath. I hope he pays for his shamefulness one day.

I love writing like this, because it puts in one place the entire case against (here) Kushner. The Covid/blue state thing is the most noxious of it all. Why he hasn't been charged, and how Ds haven't been beating on this over and over and over are mysteries to me. It's the most basic element of patriotism -- someone decided it was cool for a pandemic to kill other Americans.

But stuff like this should be fair. It's not fair to say "certainly" there's no passion between Ivana and him. We don't know that. That's private. It's not really true that he turned "the tabloids" against Democrats. Rupert Murdoch's propaganda rag the Post has been anti-D for decades now. And it's not fair with charging him with failing to solve Israel-Palestine or the opioid crisis. What's legitimate is to criticize his appointment to those posts and Trump even floating the idea that he could succeed. There's *plenty* to make the case against him -- as you so aptly did -- without giving the traitors/critics nuggets on which to grab to say that the article is just a "hit job".

Why hasn't he been charged with felonies for his failure to disclose meetings in his security clearance applications? It seems like others in the Trump orbit have been charged with similar failures. Why does he skirt, Merrick? Even if you are utterly resistant to charging a former president (with which I completely disagree), he's not a president and people in prior administrations have been charged many, many times before. If you need some guidance, Merrick, give John Dean a call.
