It IS prohibited by anti-nepotism statute. But that Federal law has a loophole that allows ineligible family members to be brought on in "unpaid" roles.

It's the political optics here that are terrible.

I have to shake my head and laugh. If you think Trump is so brilliant then why do you think he would screw up now?

Have I ever posted anything here that suggests I think Trump is brilliant?

Forget it then. I was talking to most of the people here whose hair is on fire over this.

... but perhaps Jarrod’s service to the president will be more about public opinion strategies for aligning regional advocacy with regional concerns ...

He wouldn't need to be brought on in a formal role as an advisor to the president in that case.

Is this the Jared who shows deep pro-RKBA leanings?

On general principle, putting one’s relatives on the public payroll is always bad optics, IMO, the politics of said relatives notwithstanding.
Trump needs to rethink this; it could backfire bigly.
Nothing stopping Kushner from having Trump’s ear in an informal, advisory capacity.

I do not think that he will be on the public payroll.

“Kushner retained her to advise him on dealing with conflicts of interest. “

Well, I guess she would know.

Breathe. It’ll be okay.

I don't trust Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner had a shouting match with Obama last week, that was so intense, the Secret Service was forced to position themselves to prevent a fist fight.

That's a pass, in my book.

This must be fake news because Trump is a well know anti-Semite. /S

You don’t think Jared and Ivanka know that?

Honestly? No, I don't think they do. I think they are jumping into this with every intention of contributing to their country and working to improve things for people...and they don't realize that the media and the opposite party look at them as someone to vilify, rip to shreds, and destroy if possible. What is going to happen them over the next few years I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Why would the Democrats do any such thing? By all appearances, Kushner is a Democrat mole.

He's Trump's family and a member of the administration. As far as the Democrats are concerned they're fair game.

The AP story says he’s complying with ethics rules pertaining to public **employees** and goes on to say the **laws** are stricter for Kushner than for the President. Then the story says he’ll only be in an **advisory** role.

So...I’m confused. Employee, or not?

I agree it’s going to be brutal. More brutal than anyone ever deserves. I am shocked everyday but what I’ve been seeing and reading and I was honestly trying to be honest and remember the things we did and said and I don’t think it was as bad as what they are doing because they have the entirety of the press and popular culture in their corner.

That’s odd, in my book ... because he didn’t even react that way when his wife and children were being harassed by a homosexual freak while boarding a flight from NYC to D.C..
