Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

From media mergers to foreign policy, Trump's son-in-law is consolidating power — and making millions

The speed and scale of Jared Kushner’s re-emergence can’t be overstated. In the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, his son-in-law is casually consolidating economic and political power with staggering speed.

Kushner has positioned himself at the center of the biggest media merger in years and at the fulcrum of White House foreign policy, all while taking in multi-billion-dollar investments from autocratic governments.

Met him in person. It's worse. Psychopath for sure.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago

Whether he is or isn't he took billions in Saudi money so just add him to the forthcoming Luigi Copy Cat hit list

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 15 points 2 months ago

Doubtful. He's probably just the fall guy. I think Donald is at the center of Trump's corruption.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, he was the last time around too

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Everyone just forgot how much money Jared's college roommate made last time too.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I would have imagined Trump would be at the center pf Trump's corruption

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

No shit. His corruption has a lot of "centers" however, let's not mistakenly limit him to just one.

the liaison of laundering! say it aint so chief.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Trump himself is an idiot and a tool. It's the hidden players who are the concern. Thiel, Kushner, Miller, and so on.
