ivanka and jared make no progress from liberal point of view
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/30/ivanka-trump-jared-kushner-241149
I think they are just "pretend surface liberals"
At heart, this family only works for itself, no one else.
Months ago, an ordinary working family,not very educated, but not dumb, told me--
"They just want to be rich or richer. But they are not the richest in the world. Bill Gates is. I don't know how much richer they want to be."
I would also add they are power freaks, but spiraling downwards badly.
What do you think?

Quote of the day from Frank Delany Top 10 Irish novels in The Guardian
6. The Year of the French by Thomas Flanagan
I recall the excitement when this book was published in the late 1970's - and then discovered (not always the case) that the book merited it. Flanagan, an American history professor of Irish descent, pulled off a substantial coup in that he brought a historian's training to bear upon a romantic moment, the period when the French landed in the west of Ireland in 1798 and all Ireland thought liberation was at hand. His research never lies around the novel in pools, it stains the entire fabric, so that when his character's point of view is emerging from a dispossessed farmer's clay hovel or a small town merchant's table in the local hotel, we smell them - their clothes, their breath and (this is Ireland after all) their politics.
CNN: Kushner holdings, 2 impt items added after Shaub, Ethics defender resigned--and DJT appointed more junior ethics official, instead of 2nd in line--Nothing unusual with this, T's usual modus operandi, as not selecting Andrew McCabe as FBI dr, but appointing Wray to replace James Comey.
At Hearing, McCabe shrugged and said, in response to Q is FBI rank and file disliked Comey, that in fact opposite was true, and DJT must have noted that.
http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/21/news/jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-financial-disclosure/index.html ">http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/21/news/jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-financial-disclosure/index.html
This saga is by no means played out yet.
There is always a back and forth zig zag going on--
Mueller/media finds out more, Trump Circus admits a bit, Hearings,
Mueller/media finds out more.
But if you notice, by his own admission months ago, WH is under seige.
New T. lawyer John Dowd talked to MCNBC producer about statute of limitations, so has T committed financial crimes, Rachel Maddow asked on Friday.
Trump camp is increasingly tying itself in knots.
If I were Kushner, I might turn state's evidence at this point and throw old father in law under the bus, but he would risk divorce fr Buvanka, but w/o the father, what wld the daughter be?
Maybe some of millions will be left.
Looks very very bad if you ask me, and T is starting to look haggard, as well he might.

Rachel Maddow from Friday 7-21-2017
Rachel Maddow from Friday--still best dot connector.

Wed closed hearings of Don Jr & Manafort for open hearing of Steel Dossier commissioning person. However that person has declined to testify.
meanwhile Sean Spicer has been fired, T has fired lawyer Kasowitz, replaced with John Dowd, has found pliant person to replace ethics tsar who resigned--
DJT in panic mode according to Maddow, and I agree.
