That guy is good - just enough sarcasm and "rub your nose in it" with citations and legalese.

I particularly loved this from the last footnote:

"Mr. Kushner's and Ms. Trump's claims will fare no better than Boobie Cerasini's given their tarnished reputations on COVID-19."

Boobie was a mobster, lol.

"Cuomo didn't pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state. ... His people are going to suffer and that's their problem," senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said, according to Vanity Fair.

From Vanity Fair:

“That’s Their Problem”: How Jared Kushner Let the Markets Decide America’s COVID-19 Fate

First-person accounts of a tense meeting at the White House in late March suggest that President Trump’s son-in-law resisted taking federal action to alleviate shortages and help Democratic-led New York. Instead, he enlisted a former roommate to lead a Consultant State to take on the Deep State, with results ranging from the Eastman Kodak fiasco to a mysterious deal to send ventilators to Russia.

snip==============================================================================================

Kushner, seated at the head of the conference table, in a chair taller than all the others, was quick to strike a confrontational tone. “The federal government is not going to lead this response,” he announced. “It’s up to the states to figure out what they want to do.”

One attendee explained to Kushner that due to the finite supply of PPE, Americans were bidding against each other and driving prices up. To solve that, businesses eager to help were looking to the federal government for leadership and direction.

“Free markets will solve this,” Kushner said dismissively. “That is not the role of government.”

snip==============================================================================================

According to another attendee, Kushner then began to rail against the governor: “Cuomo didn’t pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state…. His people are going to suffer and that’s their problem.”

“That’s when I was like, We’re screwed,” the shocked attendee told Vanity Fair.

If anyone needed further proof of what an absolute doofus jared is, look no further than this email. The guy doesn't even know the difference between 'ad' and "add" and as for his obsessive use of "innocent ivanka", well, as Shakespeare wrote, " Methinks thou dost protest too much ".

This has to be a joke, right? lol

If she can't stand the heat, maybe, just maybe, she's not ready for high office. Poor little rich girl, she can't take a tiny fraction of the abuse her father heaps on AOC or Ihlan Omar - not to mention Nancy Pelosi - on an off afternoon. Did she think being a presidential adviser was like flogging rip-off handbags - show up for a glam photo op and that's it? Does she really think the "Oh, I'm being picked on" waterworks will actually work?

Lincoln Project looks in the mood to remove Jared's and Ivanka's gonads with medieval tools and nothing to dull the pain. Maybe add salt is my suggestion.
