Well, someone has to do the work.

She may be intelligent but the Kushners are in no way qualified for the responsibilities they're being given. They're not even apprentice level

At least we have you, who is enormously qualified, to tell us who is and is not qualified. We've got that going for us.....which is nice.

I figured you all would at least have something to prove your case.

Whats the point if you will disagree with it anyway? So tell us what the low bar is so we can decide if it's even worth the effort. If all it takes it getting up in the morning with the boss's daughter, then you are right, he hasn't screwed anything up.

You do realize there's massive grade inflation at Ivy League schools, right? The most common grade in many classes is an A and the average grade an A-minus. Almost everyone graduates with honors.

Anecdotal, I know, but I have some first hand experience here. My undergraduate was completed at a state school and my graduate degree was completed at a private university that is just outside being an official Ivy League school. I was a solid 3.3 as an undergraduate. At the private graduate school, it was a lot harder to get into, but once in, it was straight A's (with 1 B) with half the effort, while working full time.

Don't know if an apples to apples undergraduate would have shown the same. But at the private university it was A LOT easier to make an A as a graduate student.

I'm surprised that you can find a negative article on anybody connected to Trump.

Wonderful response. Did you even read those articles? You facetiously asked for a list of Kushner's screw ups.

Jared Kushner, one of his first goals in the White House back in 2017 was to keep the U.S. in the Paris Agreement. The U.S. is not in the Paris Agreement. Then one of his goals was to have peace in the Middle East—to work out this deal with the Israelis and Palestinians. Didn’t work. And now he’s leading part of a project in the federal government to develop a website and oversee part of the coronavirus response, and guess what? We didn’t get a website at the end of it.

Kushner appears convinced that the best way to meet a fast-moving pandemic is to take a page from tech start-up culture: he's bent on disrupting federal emergency management policy, a move that governors and public health official tell NBC News has turned the response effort into chaos and a slowdown. "Jared and his friends decided they were going to do their thing," one senior government official involved in the response said. "It cost weeks."

"It appears that Mr. Kushner is unclear about basic facts regarding the purpose of the Strategic National Stockpile," the letter said, noting that Kushner "erroneously" described it as "our stockpile" that is "not supposed to be the state stockpiles that they then use."
The chairs were also "troubled" by reports that Kushner's actions could be "circumventing protocols that ensure all states' requests are handled appropriately."
"We are particularly troubled that Mr. Kushner's work may even involve 'directing FEMA and HHS officials to prioritize specific requests from people who are able to get Kushner on the phone,'" they wrote.

But that doesn't matter, right? I'll be the first to admit Trump doesn't get a fair shake with the media...but 1. he brings much of that on himself and 2. it doesn't take away from the fact that Kushner's has no business being in charge of any of this.

So pray tell - what low bar should we be looking for with respects to screw-ups that would satisfy the argument that this guy is in over his head and, yes, a screw up? My bet is the answer will be nothing, because like those on the left, those right can't seem to step back and see how ridiculous all this is and still just take the default position to defend everything, no matter what.

Trump family or not, Kushner shouldn't be directing anything unless it has to do with running a family real estate business. It's an absurd circus he is running logistics operations and brokering deals between the Palenstinians and Israeli's. Anybody with a non-biased, half working brain can see that.
