20 Logical Explanations For Why Donald Trump Keeps Promoting His Unqualified Son-In-Law

https://extranewsfeed.com/20-logical-explanations-for-why-donald-trump-keeps-promoting-his-unqualified-son-in-law-21b70973ec1f


As a freshman at Harvard, Jared spent one semester as a member of the Institute of Politics, which is one semester more than anyone else in Trump’s administration, so he’s automatically become an indispensable expert.

When Kushner’s father, Charles, went to jail in 2005 for tax evasion, witness tampering, and illegal campaign donations, Jared successfully took over the family business. President Trump figures Kushner can do the same for his family when he goes to jail.

Kushner’s father bought Jared’s acceptance into Harvard with a $2.5 million gift to the university, while Trump’s father bought Donald’s way into the University of Pennsylvania. So by the president’s logic, they’re like “two Ivy League peas in a fraud.”

The Kushners own the office building 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The president thinks this may prove useful if he has to renew his deal with the devil.

GOP Rep defends Trump attack on internet privacy: Nobodys got to use the internet

http://shareblue.com/gop-rep-defends-trump-attack-on-internet-privacy-nobodys-got-to-use-the-internet/


Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) offered a strangely antiquated defense of Donald Trump’s recent decision to roll back an Obama-era protection that stopped internet providers from selling information about their customer’s browsing habits.

When a concerned voter at Sensenbrenner’s town hall asked about Trump’s assault on internet privacy, Sensenbrenner told her “nobody’s got to use the internet.”

VOTER: Facebook is not comparable to an ISP. I do not have to go on Facebook. I do have one provider. I live two miles from here, and I have one choice. I don’t have to go on Google. My ISP provider is different from those providers.

SENSENBRENNER: Well, you know, again, nobody’s got to use the internet. You know, the thing is that if you start regulating the internet like a utility, if you did that right at the beginning, we would have no internet. And internet companies have invested an awful lot of money and have almost universal service now. The fact is, I don’t think it’s my job to tell you that you cannot get advertising or your information being sold. My job, I think, is to tell you that you have the opportunity to do it, and then you take it upon yourself to make the choice that government should give you. That’s what the law has been, and I think we ought to have more choices rather than fewer choices, with the government controlling our everyday lives.

Here is another United saga

http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united-low-priority-passenger-20170412-story,amp.html

t’s hard to find examples of worse decision-making and customer treatment than United Airlines having a passenger dragged from an overbooked plane. But United’s shabby treatment of Geoff Fearns, including a threat to place him in handcuffs, comes close.

Fearns, 59, is president of TriPacific Capital Advisors, an Irvine investment firm that handles more than half a billion dollars in real estate holdings on behalf of public pension funds. He had to fly to Hawaii last week for a business conference.

Fearns requested a full refund for his flight from Kauai and asked for United to make a $25,000 donation to the charity of his choice. This is how rich guys do it.

He received an email back from a United “corporate customer care specialist” apologizing that Fearns apparently had an unpleasant experience. But, no, forget about a refund.

Trump set his lawyers on a teenage girl who made a fun internet game about him and kittens

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-set-lawyers-teenage-girl-115155000.html


Hell hath no fury like a thin-skinned American president. Donald Trump has reportedly sent in the lawyers on a 17-year-old girl who made a fun web game about him.

Kitten Feed was coded by a teenager from San Francisco called Lucy as a little side project just for fun.

The site was originally called Trump Scratch — until the president's lawyers sent Lucy a cease and desist letter trying to protect his brand because he's "a well-known businessman".

"I was going to just let this go, but I think it's, pardon my French, f*****g outrageous that the president of the United States has his team scouring the internet for sites like mine to send out cease and desists and legal action claims if we don't shut down," she told the Observer, which first reported the story.

It seems that trump lawyers still think he is a business man ......... so much for keeping his fingers out of his businesses

'Don't Say Gay' Christian Values GOP Lawmaker Accused of Affair With Employee Who's Also His Patient

Who's Also His Cousin

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/_don_t_say_gay_christian_values_gop_lawmaker_accused_of_affair_with_employee_who_s_also_his_patient_who_s_also_his_cousin


Do you remember Tennessee state Senator Joey Hensley? He's the guy who won the seat of wildcard lawmaker Stacey Campfield, an infamous advocate for a "Don't Say Gay" bill that would ban schools, administrators, and even students from discussing anything related to homosexuality. Senator Hensley, who has been a lawmaker for 15 years and happens to also be a medical doctor, took up the mantle of pushing the ugly legislation. He also pushed a Tennessee bill that would allow discrimination against LGBT people and atheists by mental health students, allowing them to refuse to treat people, as part of their required training, if they expressed a deeply held religious belief.

~snip~

Hensley still claims to be a good Christian conservative. He thinks "Modern Family" shouldn't be allowed on TV, but supports a pro-"MILO" bill created to ensure conservatives are allowed to speak on college campuses. It's named for that former Breitbart editor who advocated for underage sex between older men and teenaged boys as young as 13.

~snip~

Senator Hensley is a mighty Christian warrior fighting against gay children in schools, and fighting against gay children and adults who want counseling. And now he's even fighting to prevent same-sex couples from having children, by sponsoring legislation "from the Tennessee Family Action Council that would make children created using donor sperm illegitimate — an attempt to make it harder for gay and lesbian parents to establish paternity."

~snip~

"It is a clear violation of the American Medical Association’s code of ethics — to which the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners subscribes — for a doctor to become romantically involved with a patient," Nashville Scene notes. "It is also in violation of the state board’s guidelines to regularly treat immediate family members or prescribe them drugs."


I am truly in love with republican family values ---- also married and divorced 4 times

Trump and Pinocchio

Trump and Pinocchio


When Donald was just a little boy his father read Pinocchio to him. This story stuck with him to this very day. Donald was born with small parts if you know what I mean. He figured if it worked for Pinocchio it might and should work for other parts.

This is why The Donald lies so much. He started lying and he found that the only things that grew were his racism and his bigotry. We know that once Donald gets something in his head he never lets go. So he just spent his life lying about everything hoping he could get his hands and man parts to grow. Never worked to this day.

As his lying grew, his racism, bigotry, his EGO grew along with his bank account. His hair grew. As we get to the moral of this Trump story we find if you lie some things grow and others either stay the same or decrease in size. The final moral: When you lie so much you lose your morals and sanity. Your man parts will not grow, as Trump would have seen for himself if he could have seen past his fat belly, that was a true fact.
