He did this during Covid. When he saw that it was at first primarily hitting cities, he didn't give a single fuck and wanted people to die. It wasn't until rural areas and red states got hit harder that he started to pretend to care.

I remember reading that Kushner said, it’s a blue state problem (at first). So effing evil.

Blows me away kushner or Ivanka were never investigated but we heard about hunter regularly and they went after him and pressed charges and tried to get him prison time for something no one gets prison time for.

And Hunter wasn't even in the god damned administration, unlike those two grifters.

Exactly. Hunter makes a plea deal that would mirror most other plea deals for the crime of being an addict and lying on his background check for a gun. Republicans demand the plea deal be rescinded and he gets jail time, so they rescind it and make Biden pardon him. They get raked over the coals for that while Trump pardons numerous felons for all sorts of real crimes. Nobody says shit about kushner lying on his security clearance forms to be around top secret shit and was still allowed the position of power he was within the government. Not one fucking investigation after making billions off his appt. The fact kushner or ivanka were never even investigated spoke volumes. The whole thing is rigged and the media treats us as stupid as republicans do.

You are not wrong, and what you said is important, at the root of all our problems.

Where are they this time around?

Probably staying low until the country is completely under control and all dissidents rounded up. They have to know they should be in jail if we had any true justice system. I’m sure they know this is a full takeover and don’t want it to backfire like last time because the country might not be so willing to let shit slide.

Didn't Trump pardon Ivankas father in law?
