    Can anyone expect more from the apple that did not fall far from the Trump crime family tree and married into the Kushner crime family. What a bunch of grifters.

    Truly a scandal worth spilling ink over.

    I'm being sarcastic.

    But worth her bull-******** about. Her so called religious observance is just as genuine as he rest of her and her father's snake oil.

    Who. Cares.

    Who cares? I mean really, at a certain point people will just tune the outrage out. You're crying wolf much too frequently. There are a bajillion existential disasters the Trump presidency could throw us into. Let's try and keep our composure, hmm?

    Geeeeeeeze. First you attack Trump's wife because she didn't hold his hand. Now you attack his daughter because her rabbi didn't say she could travel.

    You make the most petty posts on this website. You're attacking his family like a rabid hamster attacks a cheese ball.

    Does Trump have a dog? I'm sure if he does you'll be attacking it tomorrow because it didn't jump high enough when Trump came home.

    Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, who heads Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is said to have told.
    The report did not name the rabbi who offered the approval.


    Really?? AGAIN?? Once again, no verifiable source...of anything.


    The TOOTH FAIRY, "is said to have told someone's brother's friend, that it'll be a COLD DAY IN HELL, when you post a thread with an ACTUAL SOURCE....."

    A scandal? Not on the level of spilling classified information to the Russians.

    But if the story is true* it shows two things:
    1. I understand that she claims to be a practising orthodox Jew. If she had done something contrary to that faith, it demonstrates that she lacks principles. Her faith cannot be as important to her as she says, if she abandons its principles so readily, for her own convenience. I don't have any problem with that per se - I have a problem with her claiming one thing and acting differently.
    2. she is a liar. For some reason she felt it necessary to lie about this. If she lies about something like this, how can she believed in other things?

    It is also interesting because both of these things are traits that she shares with her father. A lack of principles (other than ("look out for number one") and no hesitation to lie if she thinks it is in her best interest.


    * I do not know if this story is true. There will be (and already have been) people calling this "fake news". We see that all the time when the story relies on un-named sources. But I can't think of any major story broken in the mainstream media lately that turns out to be fundamentally wrong. Some stories have not been further confirmed, some might have had details incorrect, but none have turned out to be wrong or fabrications. Unlike things the president has said / tweeted (biggest inaugural crowd, Obama tapped his phones, biggest victory in decades etc.).

    It was never stated which rabbi was involved with her before the trip. More Fake News.

    "...
    My takeaway from is threefold: Rabbis who grant dispensation should have the power of their convictions to put their name to it. Those who criticise should look in their own closets and determine if their observance is so squeaky clean. Lastly, the Kushners should take their cue from many Anglo-Jews and next time, park Air Force One around the corner.

    Yitzchok Schochet is Rabbi of Mill Hill shul ... "

    These are worse than the Russian stories. These are attacks on Trump's family over petty nonsense issues. It was stupid and petty when the republicans attacked Obama's wife and it's just as stupid and petty now that the democrats are attacking Trump's family.

    Oh, I get the impression you already know all this. This rant isn't directed at you. You just happened to step in front of me while I was in rant mode :)

    I'm going to call the New York Times tomorrow and tell them Trump wears panties. I bet by tomorrow evening the story will be on Rachael Maddow.

    "Anonymous source reveals president Trump's kinky panty secret. Did Putin give him the panties? Will this lead to Trump's impeachment? Is this a devious sex change scheme by president Donald Trump to become president Donna Trump in an effort to become America's first female president? Full details after the commercial break."

    Is it a petty nonsense issue to lie about your religious beliefs?
    Is it a petty nonsense issue to lie about receiving an official dispensation?

    I don't think so, because we can draw some conclusions from these things. One of the conclusions that could be drawn - if the story is true - is that she has no hesitation in lying if it is convenient / in her interest to do so.

    Go ahead and try. Seriously. Or make it something more sinister and see if your story gets into the NYT. It won't.

    Apparently the media sat on the Kushner request for a secret back channel for weeks - maybe months - in order to get additional information to verify the story. Even if all the sources they quote are anonymous, it doesn't mean it isn't true.

    With all of these panicked screams of "fake news", can you (or anyone) identify even one single MSM story that turned out to be fundamentally untrue? Even one?

    Yes it is. Her religious convictions have no correlation with her ability to do her job.
