Kushner has been a failure at everything he’s done in life. His only success was in marrying the First Strumpet and being enough like his loser FIL that they bonded. Trump thinks Lizard Boy can do no wrong. I look for him to be cause of hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths before this is all over.

His main success, however, was being born to rich parents.
He’s like his father-in-law. He was born on third base and acts like he hit a triple.

The reason you are completely wrong is that Trump, Pence, Biden, Sanders, and Biden’s VP would all be holding elected offices. They would have been placed in their position by the people.
Jared Kushner was not elected. His only qualification is Donald Trump likes him. And Trump has repeatedly shown he has poor judgement.

Am I the only one who looks at Jared Kushner and is reminded of the classic _Twilight Zone_ episode “Living Doll” [where ‘Talking Tina’ stalks Telly Savalas around his house](https://youtu.be/6Z0bdJPvDaw)? Just me?
Jared Kushner creeps the ever-loving fuck out of me even aside from his complete ineptitude.

No one that I’m aware of. Have you even considered the possibility that he might have determined the best and most qualified candidate or candidates are women? And the same might be true for SCOTUS?
Probably not, because (like Trump, and many other old white men), it might not come naturally to you to consider that the best qualified candidate for some high office could be something other than a white man.

Why bother even responding to **UltraVires**? He speaks in human tongue only to incite anger, and then returns to his lair in the warm comfort that he has done is bit to make the world a slightly more hostile place.

Why do you think she fell in love with him? He’s Daddy, except he can keep a (creepily) straight face.

He is a Princeling in the House of Trump.
That is all you need concern yourself with, peon. Now move along before you are tasered.

Thank you for your valuable attempt, however the position of Trump Sycophant and Ball Licker has been filled. We will keep your contribution on file, and call you if the need arises.
In the meantime, get back in line with the other peons, or you will be tasered.

So… if all the shitty stockpiled stuff is being dumped on the states, and states are reporting they’re being outbid for new stuff by the Feds…
… where is all the good PPE and medical equipment going?
I’m beginning to think it’s all in a bunker somewhere for the Correct People to use while the world outside turns into a blasted wasteland. Or so the Oligarchs/Trumps/Kunshers/etc. think.

Trump and Kushner are businessmen. They understand supply and demand in ways little people like us do not. They’re holding all of the medical equipment in anticipation that it’ll be worth more in another few weeks. It’s the Art of the Deal.

If Trump runs this distribution of stockpiles the way he runs his other businesses, he’ll delay so he can get “TRUMP” printed in large gold letters on every piece of equipment and protective item and then hold onto them until after the crisis passes and then declare bankruptcy as a “sound business strategy” while boasting of how many billions he’s worth even though no one gets to see his tax returns or accounting statements.
The only actual deal Trump has ever been good at is getting media attention, and they persist in giving him a platform for his bullshit even as his toxic lies literally threaten public health and safety.

What’s love got to do with it? It’s a marriage of money, with a touch of incestuous lust that I don’t even want to think about.

A touch? Donald Trump is the King Midas of incestuous lust:

Me too. And then I remember that he’s connected to the number 666 and I start to have serious fucking doubts about a lot of my positions on whether there’s anything to that religious stuff after all.
And his wife is another one. That phony whispery voice that she has. Ick.
Yep, I hate them both.

They’re going to dole it out to places that support Trump. Every other place can just die.
