The launch of Tomahawk missiles by President Trump has displaced the gravitational center of twitter purists, litmus nuts, conspiracy loons and the even creepier goons that orbit the remnants of the Ted Cruz #NeverTrump camp.
Their latest anti-Trumpism du jour targets Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and spouse of Ivanka Trump. Every loon campaign needs a hashtag, and their chosen identifying moonbattery is scribed under #FireKushner.
The concern, as it is openly expressed by those pushing the hashtag, is that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner will sneak into President Trump’s bedroom and place a pod under his bed which will envelop the elder Trump overnight, replicate him, and simultaneously turn him into a left-wing liberal globalist. Yes, that appears to be the general concern.
Like all similar ideological moonbattery that has come before (primary race 2015/16), there is an echo-chamber of more than tinged antisemitism, combined with a dash of Cruzian litmus testing of all activity. In essence, this is yet another outcropping of the continuing evolution of #NeverTrump. It’s silly, but, alas people take this stuff seriously.
Somehow these anti-Jared people have convinced themselves that Jared Kushner wasn’t part of President Trump’s life prior to June 2015, when candidate Trump planned his strategy, coordinated with Jared, and then announced his run for the White House.
When reminded that Trump’s policies and perspectives existed in his campaign speeches long before Bannon surfaced they begin shrieking, and typing, in some odd high-pitched tones calling forth their zombie-minded cohorts. It’s the weirdest thing since Ted Cruz’s ‘Muh Principles’ pre-convention speech.
The stupid is very strong with this effort.

“....The only pu*^y I see here seems to be you.”
*******************************************************
IMHO, it’s not a good idea to call a fellow FReepers a “pus@y”. We don’t have many of them here.
As for Jared, he doesn’t look like a pus@y either. However, he does strike me as a “pajama boy” with INHERITED wealth. IMHO, of course.
I DO NOT LIKE OUR PRESIDENTS NEW FAN CLUB
It just dawned on me why Trump loves Jared
He sees himself there as a boy but Kushner arguably had more obstacles given his wacky family unlike Trumps Teutonic rational dad
Kushner comes in young to rescue the empire and does at a young age
Hubris and hustle
If he and Legs were conservative I’d love them
But except for Kushners hard right Israel views they are liberals through and through and will dilute what we elected
Man what a change in just a couple weeks
You can’t fire family but you can put them on ice
I mean there is nothing I’ve seen Ivanka involved with yet that inspires me
Women’s issues barf
That olive branch to Planned Parenthood was crap
Worrisome
The demigod cheering section here will not be happy
I agree the media is pitching the angle of a west wing civil war
But also it’s troubling knowing the publicly known views of Jared and Legs
I could care less family is in the administration
And Syria
You better than most posters know what a tar pit it is
I’ll also voice what many here have freep mailed me
I smells like the Balkans again
And we’re helping those of whom many oppose us and kill Christians with impunity because we’re righting a perceived wrong committed by the heavier hand in the conflict
Our foreign policy when invoking Christians and others always seems to take the tack of aiding the side who’s killing and often brutalizing Christians when it suits us
Two nights ago we basically aided ISIS
I’m emotionally in favor of punishing Assad for using WMDs
But man did it ever open the NeoCon door with Kushner and Queeg and Vekvet Slippers crowing with glee
Tillerson who is no fool back again now saying removal of Assad could be a goal again is just more Bushism
Russia wants the bases etc
Israel wants Hezbollah occupied against ISIS etc so they can’t hit them
And the West but hopefully not Trump as usual wants nation building
We’ve already taken in millions of Syrian young men in the West who looked more like economic scaredy cats than true refugees
When does this end
Every time someone butchers civilians?
That’s sure not a standard we’ve always lived to since hell the Seven Years War
But we always rationalize when we do
What a cluster but I guess if it stops him reaching for them again .....
Can anyone answer what Assad hoped to accomplish with the Chem drop
True that
I'm not. I honestly have no emotions about it. Actually, Assad could have killed more with regular bombs. I'm not even sure Assad actually used WMD.
But none of that matters, as I said. One must not exaggerate what happened in Syria: it was the bombing of a single airfield with lots of political significance and benefits. Really it doesn't even matter if Assad was guilty or not. What matters is that it destroyed the Russian puppet narrative, pleased the NeoCons, and furthered Trump's overall agenda--which will not please the NeoCons.
Now if Trump goes nation building, that would be counterproductive and a terrible thing to do. But there's no reason to think he's actually going to do that, no matter what Rex is saying.
Things will calm down in a week or so on these forums and the Assad regime will more than likely--if Trump thinks like I do--still be standing for a long time to come. Now Trump at some point might want Assad to step down and have a replacement, but I doubt it'll be in the Bush-like fashion of war and replacement with a democracy. Sundance made the comment that Assad might be too polarizing to keep. If that's the goal, then replacing him with any one else in the military would be just fine. Democracy should not be imposed on the Syrians and wouldn't work if tried.
“Can anyone answer what Assad hoped to accomplish with the Chem drop”
Somebody likes using them and maybe it’s Assad. There have been at least seven chemical attacks since 2013, some of them Sarin. The Ghouta attack in 2013 was the deadliest. Assad blames the rebels, but UN types think he’s the one doing most of it.
As for Trump’s motivation, everyone seems to forget that he has repeatedly said that he wants to create a safe zone in Syria to relocate the refugees. If Assad is gassing people they won’t be willing to go back. Hard to say if Trump wants to remove Assad or is using that idea as hard bargaining.
I can’t buy the idea that he is the least bit interested in pulling a stupid stunt like occupying and nation building Syria. He’s not a fool. If Assad goes there will be someone amenable already chosen to replace him, probably with Russia having a big say in it.
It's hard to believe anybody could be a "zealot" for Ted Cruz, especially now.
It's like being fanatical for corn flakes or bran muffins.
Maybe Ted Cruz is the new Mitt Romney, though -- the shadowy figure who's behind everything somebody doesn't like.
Thanks! Made me smile :) ~and I needed it!
Soros hasn’t been defeated. You, being one of his Alinskyite foot soldiers, are proof of that.
Kushner is a liberal. I don’t see anything wrong with the hashtag.
Let me know when you've stopped banging on the bars of your crib so I can take the rattle out of your mouth. It's way past your bedtime anyway.
Kushner and Ivanka are liberal Manhattan Democrats, pushing the Trump administration far to the left of what he ran on.
Is that really so hard for you to understand?
Crap.
It is not Bergdahl's fault that for thousands of years deserters used to be shot but now rescuing them becomes the overarching mission objective. Can you imagine the Mongol Horde sitting idle in a dusty wasteland of a defensive OP or FOB, for months on end for no apparent, yet an exceedingly exorbitant reason?
I hope that made you feel better, keyboard warrior lol.
“Soros hasn’t been defeated.”
I guess you weren’t paying attention in the general election. Soros spent millions to get Cankles into the White House. Trump did defeat him & Cankles.
“You, being one of his Alinskyite foot soldiers, are proof of that.”
I feel sorry for you. You post lies against people you do not know. Maybe the mods can help you.
Now, Now, Now - Who you calling a "conservative"?
The Trump nut jobs have drunk too much of the cool-aid. These people are not conservative in any definition of the word.
This does not make Trump good or bad - Way too early to make that call.
However one very worrying sign is the inability to REPEAL Obamacare. Now we are left with Trump's Rinocare
What’s with the patronizing chastisement here? Trump very much ran with conservative Republican positions—from immigration to abortion to tax cuts.
And he is increasingly handing his administration over to the liberal dreams of Ivanka and Jared.
That IMO is fraud. Bait and switch.
