Jared Kushner to replace Nikki Haley at the U.N.?

Why not? Do you question this? Do your doubt this could happen?

Jared has no real job at the White House. But he does, for the most part, agree with daddy-in-law's policies and world view (as ignorant and insane as they are).

So who's to say that the Orange Disease won't appoint Jared as our U.N. Ambassador?

And for those who think this can't happen, who's going to stop him? Just who the fuck do you think is going to stop him?

Don't know about that.

Don't think either of them could. But golly, Mitch has surprised me before!

5. Trump is already openly violating nepotism laws with Jared and Ivanka in the White House

so I don't doubt that he'd consider it. And that the GOP would consider letting him get away with it.

But I don't see it happening. They have more influence on him from the WH than from NYC. That's why they are in DC, not NYC, right now.

It will help prove our point that they have no idea what they're doing.

Does anyone really expect him to appoint someone who is sane?

And does anyone doubt that the creatures in the Republican Senate would confirm anyone. I mean ANYONE. This is a criminal Senate that would have decided that Caligula was acceptable even though he was a bit odd.

How did we get here? How the fuck did we get here??
