The Son in Law Also Rises (real news, extremely long article)

It's been one week since Donald Trump pulled off the biggest upset in modern political history, and his headquarters at Trump Tower in New York City is a 58-story, onyx-glassed lightning rod.

The most compelling figure in this intrigue, however, wasn't in Trump Tower. Jared Kushner was three blocks south, high up in his own skyscraper, at 666 Fifth Avenue,

By June the GOP nomination secured, Kushner took over all data-driven efforts. Within three weeks, in a nondescript building outside San Antonio, he had built what would become a 100-person data hub designed to unify fundraising, messaging and targeting

Good read, even if chunks like this is proof again that Forbes’ journoylists are a bunch of despicable and unrepentant leftists:

“He brought the Silicon Valley ethos, which values openness and inclusiveness, to a campaign that promised closed borders, trade protection and religious exclusion. He is the scion of prodigious Democratic donors yet steered a Republican presidential campaign. A grandson of Holocaust survivors who serves a man who has advocated a ban on war refugees. A fact-driven lawyer whose chosen candidate called global warming a hoax, linked vaccines to autism and challenged President Obama’s citizenship. A media mogul in a campaign stoked by fake news. A devout Jew advising a president-elect embraced by the alt-right and supported by the KKK.”

Thanks for this thread. The article went on to say that Trump has forever redefined how campaigns will be run in the future.

The age of the old traditional campaign is over. Kushner is 35 years old? He’s a pretty smart guy.

That “666” number jumped out at me, too. I would refuse to live on Fifth Avenue (which would be a major, major improvement on my lifestyle, believe me) if it was 666 Fifth Avenue. Why on earth would the original builder not insist that number be different? Charge it to superstition, but glad Ivanka and her brood are moving to D.C.

This portion of the article is why the news media is no longer respected as an unbiased reporter of true facts. I was interested and intrigued by what I had read about Steven Kushner, and inclined to believe what I read and then I came to this section.

"He brought the Silicon Valley ethos, which values openness and inclusiveness, to a campaign that promised closed borders, trade protection and religious exclusion. He is the scion of prodigious Democratic donors yet steered a Republican presidential campaign. A grandson of Holocaust survivors who serves a man who has advocated a ban on war refugees. A fact-driven lawyer whose chosen candidate called global warming a hoax, linked vaccines to autism and challenged President Obama’s citizenship. A media mogul in a campaign stoked by fake news. A devout Jew advising a president-elect embraced by the alt-right and supported by the KKK."

The author generalizes every negative claim made about Trump and establishes them as being unquestionably true and then uses the premise to compare to Kushner. Okay, I see that the author isn't a true news reporter. He's a persuasive writer, more interested in "shaping" the news and peoples thoughts, rather than report news and let the people draw their own conclusions. Until the news media corrects itself, alternative news media will flourish.

It is a fact that many on Free Republic toil constantly in the vineyards of sour grapes. Intolerance bubbles up in the face of reality

The in depth piece is describing the Son in Law of the President elect that praises his actions that to some might seem antithetical to his position and upbringing. The man performed in a remarkable manner choosing to place duty above long held antithetical values.

To condemn the writer for doing a very good job is just foolish

One summer I worked at a plant in New Orleans. My assigned employee/check ID number was 666. When I went out that first evening and picked up my parking decal, the number was 1313.

Excellent article, and very revealing as to “the real Trump” and his values.

don't pet the sweaty stuff!

Oh, I kinda like a pretty college cheerleader now and again. (In my 75 year old dreams) I'm terrible!
