I just saw a youtube video of a lady who got the cyclospora because she thought it was only in the Taco Bell lettuce and that is exactly why I've been on such a fucking tear about this. That's what Taylor Farms and interestingly also the government wanted you to think.
If Joe Biden had decided that Hunter Biden was his "Special Envoy for Peace" & started sending him around the world to negotiate anything & everything instead of the Secretary of State or other official US diplomats, it would have been a nonstop NYT scandal & he'd have been impeached within a week.
No, the "Special Envoy for Peace" thing isn't a real government appointment. It is a bad-faith, authoritarian end run wrapped in text to make it look legal, just like the bad-faith, illegal Section 122/301/IEEPA tariffs are authoritarian end runs wrapped in text to make them look legal, etc.
Mark CopelovitchIt's neither a Senate-confirmed position nor the limited issue-specific special envoy used for centuries. They are traditionally positions that report to the Secretary of State, not the POTUS/Father-in-Law. It is not clear he is actually a temporary federal employee, as past Special Envoys were.
JARED KUSHNER IS THE PRESIDENT'S SON-IN-LAW & NOT A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE & NOT A FORMAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WHY ISN'T THIS A PRESIDENCY-ENDING FRONT-PAGE SCANDAL WE NEVER TOLERATED THIS LEVEL OF CORRUPTION BEFORE FOR ANYONE ELSE?
Olga NesterovaTakeaways from Zelenskyy-Trump meeting Witkoff and Kushner agreed to visit Kyiv (not new, then going would be NEW) Agreed on Patriot manufacture licensing as a “long-term goal” Discussed ways “to end the war” That meeting could’ve been an email.

A good Gruyere gets me every time. Gruyere is expensive here, I've had good luck with Wisconsin Goudas.
Tom & LorenzoPeople on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese
