It's going to be a very difficult four years. I hope it's only four years.
OT. And now for something completely different! Last night to help put myself to sleep, I was thinking about a possible star-packed movie like Hollywood used to do, a modern day version of The Great Escape. Imagine these lefto journalist/media types imprisoned at Guantanamo, planning a big escape: Keith Olbermann, Lawrence O'Donnell, Joe Scarborough, Randy Rainbow, Adam Mockler, Jimmy Kimmel, and probably Guillermo (because he speaks Spanish, and it's Cuba). Maybe some others, still not sure. It helps that the first three kind of hate each other, imho.
I don't want to do any spoilers, so if you have not seen The Great Escape, stop reading and go watch it right now. It's worth it.
I wracked my brain last night trying to remember the name of one of the actors who got away in that movie. And today it just came to me, effortlessly. I won't say it, to avoid spoilers. Geez, I hate getting old.
Anyway, I asked mr. cc which of my folks should get away. "Randy Rainbow, of course!" he replied. He also suggested Will Smith to play Keith Olbermann. And I think Will Smith could probably summon just the right amount of self-righteous outrage. I would also really like to see Justin Long and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it, because I like them.
All your casting suggestions and plot twists welcome!
I want to know why in the hell it has taken FOUR FUCKING YEARS to open an investigation into this extremely obvious criminality. All of this has been public knowledge for years. Good on Raskin and Wyden for finally doing something about it, but it's yet another instance of Merrick Garland being fucking useless.
But not letting the Kushes get away with very serious, obvious crimes that are likely also a grave threat to national security would be "political" and we mustn't have that! For the good of the nation and Democracy itself, this one particular family and anyone they are protecting must be immune from any criminal prosecution.
"And to this day, the fund hasn’t even invested half of that money, or returned any dividends to clients, even though clients have been paying management fees that have added up to about $157.5 million so far."
Let's see. Three RINO examples of shitstains in the country's underwear opened investigations on Pres Biden for taking $5 mil in bribes but are silent about Jared and Ivanka. I assume that Kushner is receiving some sort of monetary compensation from Affinity Partners (it's a private company so no public records available and it's probably a sizeable amount), a firm he started six months after the Fulvous Flatulence left office. Since Kushner has no background in venture capital, nor investment banking of any sort, then it must be supposed that the $2 bil from MbS, and more from other Middle East petrostates, I have to believe that these "investments" are nothing more than payments (read: bribes) for services received during his time as an "advisor" to the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus (and I'm convinced that the Mango Malignancy is getting a taste of the action from AP).

"The stuff he has invested in, well, there’s Israeli rental cars, a website in Dubai called the Dubizzle Group, attempting to build resorts on war-torn death sites"
* Up until Netanyahu wouldn't back the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster's power play Bibi and the Asshat-in-Chief were butthole buddies. It only makes sense that Jared would have an investment in Israel. (I don't think the car rental company would have received a dime if not for this relationship. Kushner being an Orthodox Jew wouldn't be compelling enough on its own.)
* Personally, I think it a sound investment to plan a resort on the Mediterranean Gazan coast once Bibi has finished bombing the area into oblivion (and all of the deaths, both Palestinian and Israeli are a bound-to-fail attempt to keep his sorry ass out of prison). After all, with Gaza flattened the teardown and removal of existing buildings will have already been done -- saving megabucks in the process.

"hey, why wouldn’t a red-blooded patriot such as the Kush want to do dubusiness [sic] in AMERICA?"
Probably because he knows his Father-in-Law plans to turn the US into a third world hermit kingdom that no foreigners will visit without a very compelling reason.

"Are these maybe the shadowy elites that conspiracy theorists have been looking for?"
Nah, these aren't the ones; you can tell because they either have an "R" following their name and/or contribute -- biggly -- to the New GOP. It's a proven fact that *all* of the those with a "D" following their name, or are donors to the Dem party, are the ones we should be afraid of. These asshats wouldn't hesitate to sell out the US if the price was right.

Why do all Trump women look like they’re peering desperately into a future without him?
Unless they can get this done within a month, the investigation isn't going anywhere.
tRump will try and shut is down when he gets in office.
Ivanka let her mother be buried on a golf course to hide her daddy's subterfuge. She could have steered him elsewhere.
Take a close look at Barron in this photo, doesn't he look just like Jared?

Meritless Garbage, Fed Soc contributor.
They belong under the jail.
Fuck them to hell, Ok
I didn't know androids could get married.

That's why gods willing and a Harris / Walz administration, we are getting a new US Attorney General
It’s true: Jared does look like a wax dummy.
The $2 billion to Kush, the $10 Million to Trump. The Trump Crime Family has a lot of explaining to do.
Glacial progress. SMFH
Garland would have been far better ruminating Drip v. French Press in the SCOTUS.
