Mexicans 'Stunned' Over Decision to Honor Kushner
He'll receive the Order of the Aztec Eagle on Thursday

Enrique Peña Nieto's final "major" act as president will apparently involve Jared Kushner, and it's one the Guardian describes as having "stunned the country": The Hill reports that before handing over power to incoming president Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Saturday, Peña Nieto will bestow Mexico's highest honor for foreigners on Kushner for his work on renegotiating NAFTA. The ceremony in which Kushner will receive the Order of the Aztec Eagle will take place Thursday during the G20 summit, putting him in a club that includes Walt Disney, Queen Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Bill and Melinda Gates.

Per a government statement, "Kushner's participation was a determinant factor ... and his constant and effective involvement was key in achieving a successful close of negotiations." Other Mexicans were far less effusive about Kushner and the Trump administration. Reuters quotes Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal as calling the move "tremendously shameful," while Mexican historian Enrique Krauze wrote that "giving him the Aztec Eagle reflects a supreme attitude of humiliation and cowardice." The Guardian has this from a Mexican professor: "It's the final kick in the crotch for Mexicans." (Trump mentioned the G20 in a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Post.)

1. "I am determined to cement my legacy as Mexico's least popular President ever!"

[a la izquierda]

2. Those of us who are scholars of Mexico...

be it history, politics, culture, society, etc., are fuming pissed this morning. We all have spent our lives working for a better understanding of Mexico.
This is a disgrace, but then again, not shocking. This pinche administration that Peña Nieto ran made lives miserable for researchers for the past few years.
Fuera, pendejo!

[harumph]

3. Can it be rescinded by Obrador? It should.

4. The award will become a joke if Jared receives it. Equivalent to his ivy league degree purchased by

his dad

8. How much do Ivy League colleges sell their degrees for?

What is the cost of a bribe that they are taking? Who exactly gets the bribe? Are professors told to give the student passing grades? How much does the professor get for giving passing grades? Just curious, other than anonymous internet posters how come no one at these schools ever comes forward and exposes this?

9. Jared wasnt a great student. his rich father gave a big donation and J was admitted

10. Admission does not mean a degree.

If the degree was not earned and purchased then all my questions remain.

11. And 'way-high' does not mean above-normal.
