Because it’s the Rich People who are most likely to be travelling on Election Day.
The elder Kushner is a seasoned criminal. He can deal with it. From Wiki AI.
Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, pleaded guilty in 2005 to 18 counts of tax evasion, witness tampering, and making illegal campaign contributions, serving 14 months in federal prison. He was sentenced to two years, following a case prosecuted by Chris Christie, and received a full pardon from President Trump in December 2020.
Key details regarding the conviction:
- The Crime: Kushner hired a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law, who was cooperating with federal authorities, recorded the encounter, and sent the video to his own sister
.
-
Charges: He pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion, witness retaliation, and false statements to the Federal Election Commission.
-
Sentence: Sentenced to 24 months in 2005, he served 14 months in a federal prison in Alabama, finishing his term at a New Jersey halfway house in 2006.
-
Pardon: President Trump granted a pardon in December 2020, citing his charitable work.
-
Aftermath: As a felon, he was disbarred in three states, but in 2025, he was nominated by Donald Trump to be the U.S. Ambassador to France.
Damn! Sounds like he’s perfectly qualified for the next Supreme Court vacancy…
- Blackadder: Well, you could appoint him a high court judge.
- Prince George: Is he qualified?
- Blackadder: He’s a violent, bigoted, mindless old fool.
- Prince George: Sounds a bit over-qualified. Well, get him here at once.
just musing, but apparently Trump wants to invite some olympians (the men’s hockey team) to the White House while excluding other olympians (the women’s hockey team). But should anybody actually show up, will he demand a gold medal?
“I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that,” Trump said with a chuckle, provoking roaring laughter from the team.
The president added, “I do believe I would probably be impeached” if he didn’t invite the USA women’s team, which also won gold against Canadalast week.
Ok, maybe I misunderstood the joke - it’s Trump after all!!! But I bet he still demands medals!
My take is that he was saying, ‘I really only want the Men’s team, because the Women’s team is all women. How woke is that? Women! Playing sports! But I suppose I’ll have to invite them, otherwise people will get mad at me.’
In any case…
Kash Patel probably pinched one after he barged into their locker room celebration. He knows what Trump likes, after all.
Five or so hours ago, I shared this article on FB: Donald Trump tries to take credit for USA hockey win by ‘punching’ Canadians. My comment, when I posted it: ‘Doubtless, He will demand a gold medal.’
I just read this and it made me smile more than SNL.
( here’s some music to read by )
You go, girls! 
Too bad the guys didn’t have the balls to turn down the invitation.
As usual, the ambassadors appointed by Trump are really burnishing our reputation worldwide. Couldn’t have made a better selection than Charles Kushner, the man who clearly hates his sister (because, as you may recall, he retaliated against his brother-in-law for whistleblowing with a sex tape between bro-in-law and a prostitute that he sent to her).

The SotU tomorrow is gonna be a shitshow, isn’t it?
“Why would we even do this? And they walk in, nobody even asked for, like, do you have an identification? Do you have an ID? Umm, it’s so crazy, you know, the mayor of New York, and he’s a very nice person, and I met him, but his idealogy is not too good, but, uh, we’re having a massive snowstorm right now, and I’ve heard that he’s asked people to come out and help shovel the snow. OK, so you get a shovel and you start shoveling, right? What the hell? You’re not gonna help too much, but you can help, and hello darling, how are you? Noah, right behind you, look, my friend, right? Are you OK? Yes, you. Are you OK? Are you OK? Good. Good. Are your eyes OK? I gave her money to get her eyes fixed. A lot of money to get her eyes fixed. The doctor ripped me off, but that’s OK. And when do you go? (pause) When you get them done, to, pretty, it’s an operation, but it’s a, it’s, it’s 100%, you know, it’s great. Good. Are you gonna have 20/20 vision, you know, she’s, she’s almost blind, cataracts. She’s almost blind. And with one operation that will take a very short period of time. Hope you have a good doctor. He’s an expensive, he’s an expensive doctor, top of the line, right? But you know what? You’re gonna have 20/20 vision. Because I noticed you’re wearing glasses, I saw you yesterday on television wearing glasses, and I said, well, but anyway, but, uh, you know, speaking of your family, it would be a lot different right now except for the election. So I always say, it’s too bad that happened.”
Yeah. It’s gonna be a shitshow.
This is better than the AI video of him shitting on people from the jet.
Trump posts AI video of brawl with Canadian ice hockey player.
His previous SotU’s have generally been bland and unsurprising and clearly written by someone else, and he’s mostly managed to stay on script, which usually makes the idiot talking heads describe him as “presidential.”
However, his dementia seems to have progressed to the point where I can’t imagine he won’t ramble like Grandpa Simpson this time around.
We shall see.
Holy shit, @Smapti. I started reading that blather truncated at the bottom of my screen and thinking “heh, this is one of @Smapti’s over-the-top Trump parody rants”, and I scroll down and find that no, this was stuff Trump actually said in public.
I don’t expect any of his remarks to be coherent or truthful, but that was really out there, even for him.
Well thank heavens at any rate for Heated Rivalry, the last surviving champion of the noble principle that Canadian and US hockey players can actually like each other.
(ETA: Actually, by now somebody must have made a Heated-Rivalry-style follow-up to that Trump criminal-hockey-assault video. I’m not going out looking for it, though: there’s not enough brain bleach in the WORLD.)
Yeah, I’ll be surprised if he has the ability to stay on script at this point. He handles EVERY speech he gives these days as if it’s a campaign rally and cannot stay on topic to save his life.
