You are making it up, you are lying, you are spreading fake rumours in a sad pathetic attempt to try and defend your man child hero. Pathetic.

Correct.

 

Kushner conveniently "forgot" to respond to the clearance form truthfully.

 

Penalties for Inaccurate or False Statements

 

"The U.S. Criminal Code (title 18, section 1001) provides that knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony which may result in fines and/or up to five (5) years imprisonment. In addition, Federal agencies generally fire, do not grant a security clearance, or disqualify individuals who have materially and deliberately falsified these forms, and this remains a part of the permanent record for future placements. Your prospects of placement or security clearance are better if you answer all questions truthfully and completely."

 

And directly above where he signed:

 

"I have read the instructions and I understand that if I withhold, misrepresent, or falsify information on this form, I am subject to the penalties for inaccurate or false statement (per U. S. Criminal Code, Title 18, section 1001), denial or revocation of a security clearance, and/or removal and debarment from Federal Service."

This is all a big nothing-burger.  Despite the penalties quoted, people lie on that form all the time.

That clown is paid to be a clown on a comedy show. The clown in the White House is paid to be a President and representative of the USA on the international stage of statesmen and leaders.

How about this clown?

This is the same clown who said Trump would never be president.  Duh.

So you are saying it's ok for Junior to meet with foreign officials illegally and then to later lie the meetings never happened?

 

This administration has lost all credibility now.

I'm saying Trump will serve a total of eight years as president.  This issue will go away and be replaced by something else.

Yet another play by Trump, this time Jr., to give the press and the "resistance" something to talk about and get their hopes up about throwing him out of office. 

Ain't gonna happen.

Trump vs CNN.  A new video has surfaced ...

Yes, this is all very Banana Republic, but I think the fears of a trump family dynasty are overblown. His sons would have no chance as they are morons without charisma, and Ivanka though she does look good doesn't have the right stuff either. 

trump succeeding in POLITICS is a one off black swan. 

Once sane Americans manage to purge the scourge, I doubt we'll ever see anyone with the trump name ever elected to ANYTHING again. 

Contrast to Chelsea Clinton. She's got politics in her blood. Yes, I think she'll probably have a political career in NEW YORK. 

Huge difference between Chelsea and Ivanka and yes, it's weird they are friends. Ivanka has vapid BRANDING in her blood, not politics. 

Agree that Ivanka is not ready for prime time...yet.  Giver her 7 years or so.

The Intercept has more on Princess Ivanka sitting in among 19 genuine world leaders:

 

When President Donald Trump decided on Saturday to skip part of a discussion about what the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies could do to help Africans improve their lives at home — rather than risk them by migrating to Europe — there was no shortage of cabinet members who could have taken his seat between China’s President, Xi Jinping, and the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Theresa May.

The American delegation to the Group of 20 conference in Hamburg, Germany includes Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who is fourth in line for the presidency, as well as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

That Trump chose, instead, to seat his daughter, Ivanka, alongside the other 19 heads of state, was perhaps the most stunning illustration to date that he sees a complete lack of experience in affairs of state as no barrier at all to treating her as his de facto vice president.

 

https://theintercept.com/2017/07/08/gets-worse-ivanka-trump-takes-fathers-seat-meeting-world-leaders/

I've seen businessmen get their children involved early on so that they could help and eventually take over.  IMHO, this is what Trump is now, and not for his real estate empire.  It makes sense.  Why not seat the next president of the United States?  The 2016 election was more than an election; it was a revolution and the start of a Trump dynasty.

                           We can see when some of our interests are being promoted.  We are also wary of false-flag promotions.    Here's an example:   Trump said he would be the greatest jobs president ever.  He started his job-creating campaign by focusing on Carrier Corp.  While prez-elect, he held a big promo event there where he promised everyone that there would be 1,100 new jobs and a whole lot additional jobs there in coming months.   Even while Trump was stumping, he knew it was all a lie.  Weeks later, hundreds of Carrier jobs were terminated, and zero new jobs created.    That's just one of hundreds of false promo gigs that Trump and his family have floated.

 

Is Ivanka's initiative for real?   Maybe so.   Let's look back in a few months and see what's transpired.   It doesn't hurt to have tens of millions of dollars getting pumped in your coffers by Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.   Heck, I could launch a do-good organization very comfortably with tens of millions of dollars of seed money.  If Ivanka's plan does good for a lot of people, then good.  I'll be the the first to applaud her efforts.

 

One of several reasons why Ivanka is disliked by many Americans is she's 99% hype and 1% real.  Americans initially breathed a collective sigh of relief when it was reported Ivanka was going to influence her dad in important decisions.  She met with Climate Change experts, and then spoke with her dad.  If she learned anything about climate science and was in favor of reason, she had zero influence on him. ZERO. NADA. ZILCH.   Unless it changes, Ivanka's image is just that:  an image.  A pretty and shapely young woman who is a prop.  A false hope for reasonable people who, thus far, has been a let-down.  She can't influence her dad on his ridiculous mean-spirited tweets, nor on his planet-harming edicts re; global warming.  

 

SHE IS AN ENABLER .....for the dangerous dufus in the Oval Office.  I'll be glad if/when Ivanka proves me wrong, but I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Ivanka is being groomed to become the first woman president after her father completes his second term.  Hopefully she, too, realizes climate change is a hoax.

Ivanka sits in official for the President at international conference meeting? <deleted> Totally unqualified and inappropriate. Where's the Vice President?

 

 

Very qualified and very appropriate. She is being groomed to be the first woman president of the United States, in 2024 after her father's second term.

While Hamburg burns, the media reports Ivanka sitting in a chair.  Typical.

G 20 - Media More Outraged at Ivanka Sitting in a Chair than Antifa Army Burning Hamburg.

Good for Trump!  This is no apology tour.

yanks had a pretty big role in his death. he was doing a pretty good job or running iraq and probably still would be if america didnt decide to invade and oust him.

That's like saying Kim Jong Un is doing a pretty good job of running North Korea.

The image of the United States is pretty good in George Clooney's English countryside.  This resistance leader has moved his family back to the US after leaving due to the Trump victory.  In doing so he acknowledges Trump is making America great again and that he, Clooney, was wrong to leave in the first place.

Yes, Obama was a threat, but we made it through.

I avoid fox news if at all possible.  And Cruz as well. LOL.  Both are too political for me.
 
Reddit took it down...obviously for good reasons.  Did that video commit a crime?  Perhaps creates a legal problem for Reddit? LOL
 
Perhaps the focus should be on the violence against the media this video supports?  And the nasty stuff posted by that Reddit user.  Right?  Even the Reddit user is now saying CNN has every right to expose his identity.  Why don't Trump supporters agree with this?  Strange....

In his demented mind he is already The U.S. Dictator. So in this mindset what he says ought not be disputed or refused. He is mentally ill; must be removed.

Don't worry.  He will remove himself on January 20, 2025 upon completion of his second term.

I postulate that 45 defenders voted for him because of what he is NOT e.g. refined, logical, smart, educated, caring, fair-minded, spiritually evolved, empathetic, self disciplined, emotionally balanced, and with a high moral character - to name a few.

I postulate that people voted for him because he was the best candidate.

I saw where the left wing crier, Martha Raddatz, considers Trump's WWE video a threat to reporters.

So the left has no problem with the play where Trump was killed, or the mock beheading of him; but they think professional wrestling is real.

It's not that he uses twitter.

Again, I will attempt to give the resistance members a clue about his tweets.
