I don’t find the Clinton example ironic. I think it is correct. And, if Kushner had any relevant experience or expertise, I would not have a problem with this. The issue is not nepotism so much as lack of qualifications. He is as unqualified as a number of Trump appointees- is Bannon more acceptable because he is a…

Damn it feels good to be a Lannister.

you can hire your spouse or your chinless nightmare of a son-in-law to any position your heart desires.

That’s kind of pedantic. For all practical purposes, he was fired. What do you mean, “sometimes people won’t leave their jobs”? Was anyone trying to get him to leave his job before now, or was there some issue with his work? If not, a person who lived for the job and did it with excellence was fired right before…

Even Wall Street is saying it. There’s no saving that industry, particularly given that it is at odds with fracking, its an obsolete resource, and the Chinese have no demand for our coal anymore.

I feel so bad for this guy. Trump’s supporters should see this for what it really is, but they fucking won’t.

You’re an insensitive one. No, he’s not entitled to the position, but it is about respecting tradition. But then “respect” and “Trump” are two words that just won’t go together without a negative modifier.

Excuse me, it is spelled “pennsyltucky.”

Trump supporters are always telling his detractors that they should accept the situation and respect the office. Here is someone doing exactly that, and they fire him. Can they not go five minutes without conteadicting themselves?

I highly doubt they meant he wanted to be there to support Trump but that he is one of the few people eager to participate in the event despite the fact that it was for Trump. Because he feels an attachment to the spirit of the inauguration.

Plus he was fired via email. What a dick move by a moving dick.

Just wait until the 70-100 year old set realize they can’t pay for healthcare

I just feel actively bad all the time

Exactly. This guy’s “make up fake news for fun and profit!” is going to get INNOCENT PEOPLE FUCKING KILLED.

How can you not blame this guy? He completely lacks empathy, dangerously so. In the interview with NPR, he said that he’s concerned about all the death threats he’s received. (He has two children, and he doesn’t want shooters showing up to his home.) But when a random pizzeria owner reported death threats to the DC…

How does it not make him the devil? He’s exploiting people. We used to define that as an “asshole.” What, exactly, makes exploiting the ignorant okay? That’s how Trump and his empty promises brought him to power in the first place.

My problem with this is that the fake stories weren’t “Bigfoot spotted in Los Angeles!” harmless stupidness, but rather “Muslims are plotting against us” and similar - stories that he knew very well support a worldview where it’s fine to vandalize your local mosque, harass the lady in the hijab at the grocery store,…

What?

Fuck this guy.

So his intentions were:
