...GREAT!

It means he cant access any of the intelligence communitys products or analysis, and that effectively means he cannot do his job as the top diplomat overseeing the Israeli, Palestinian peace process, said Jeremy Bash, a former chief of staff for Leon Panetta when he served as CIA director and secretary of defense.
Bash said there were few roles of importance available in the White House for a staffer who lacked security clearance.
None of us can even remember a West Wing staffer working on national security affairs who stayed in that job with a secret clearance, he said. I mean, maybe in the West Wing you could, you know, deliver the mail or mow the White House lawn or serve navy bean soup as an enlisted sailor, but you cannot be involved in policy making.
You cant go into the White House situation room, have conversations, you cant prepare the president for engagements with foreign leaders, Bash added. Part of that is reading those reports and working on very sensitive matters. I cant see a single way that Jared can engage with relationships with China, with Mexico, with any of these sophisticated players, without access to top-secret, sensitive information. I think this is fatal for him.

Yeah.
That sure tells the whole story, doesn't it?

(22,539 posts)he will still get ANY information he wants from the White House. It will just need to be done a bit more discretely.
Miles Archer
(21,837 posts)...would give credit if I remembered who posted it, but the comment was "Trump will hand him a document and say "read this for me and then explain it to me"
Trump considers rules to be an annoyance that applies to everyone but Trump.
If he wants Kushner in the loop, he'll be in the loop.

(71,700 posts)Really tacky.
On a business suit, it's no problem. But for evening wear, seriously dude; find another fashion advisor.
Just because the cummerbund is currently out of fashion doesn't mean you can get lazy.

(6,672 posts)but this looks like a very bad prom photo -- and the guy is in his thirties, not his teens.
That looks like a traditional single-breasted tux. That type of tux is not worn buttoned.
Shirt sleeves are supposed to show below the jacket sleeve.
And this is being ultra nit-picky, but that looks like a clip-on tie, and not a very good one. Queen Elizabeth is supposed to be able to recognize those a mile away.
Geez, you'd think a guy with so much money and so much ambition would at least dress correctly.
And that pose is awkward as hell. Plus yeah, his hand on her butt. Yikes.
