Jared supports the Jerusalem move

Because he's just that stupid.

These days, close associates said, Kushner is primarily driven by one goal: to prove himself by delivering a Middle East peace deal many skeptics doubt he can close.

Brilliant! They'll cool off. No biggie.

Does he know Trump and bin Salman are working on a plan of their own? The one that gives Israel full control over all of Jerusalem? (Which they deny, of course.)

The close confidant who speaks to Kushner regularly said: “It'’s a bold, bold move. Jared and MBS are locked at the hip, and they are saying, 120 years of this hasn’t worked. Let’s take it in our hands.”

I'd say that's a yes.

For Kushner, the Jerusalem issue also provided a chance to reassert some of his lost authority in the White House. Privately, he told the president he backed the move, even as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis voice their opposition, according to multiple officials and outside advisers involved with the administration’s Middle East plans.

“Despite any public remarks in the Arab world,” said a senior White House official, “I think everyone recognizes that without the United States involvement, the peace deal is not getting done.”

Dude, it wasn't getting done with the United States.

A second White House official also dismissed potential violent outbursts in reaction to the announcement as nothing more than a short-term, knee-jerk reaction that will not carry long-term repercussions.

You can't name this official? I would really like to know, and why is that secret?

“We are confident enough about getting a peace deal done in the future and think all parties understand the central role that the United States plays in that process.”

What planet do these people live on?

On the Jerusalem issue, a close confidante of Kushner’s said, the stakes may not be as high for the trajectory of Trump’s presidency, overall. But they’re high for Kushner. “If he’s right, he will be a hero of heroes,” the Kushner ally said. “He end-ran Tillerson again. If he’s wrong, he’s doomed.”

Oh, he's doomed. On several fronts.

“I think [Trump] and Jared figure that after all the posturing and a few days of riots, things go back to normal when it comes to the negotiations,” said a person close to the administration.

What's a few days of riots between friends?

Kushner [has] no pending trips planned, a spokesman said. Vice President Mike Pence is still scheduled to visit Israel and Egypt in late December.

Trying to get him killed are they? They do need to get him out of the way if he indeed knows where the bodies are buried in the Russia thing, because he will give their asses up in a heartbeat when he talks to Mueller.

But the senior White House official said the timeline for a peace plan has not changed, and that “the decision does not in any way hamper our ability to get a peace agreement completed. We’re going to keep our heads down and keep working through it. When this cooling off period is over, we’ll be ready.”

You are such a dope. Please, let's know who this idiot is.

And, can we get Henry Kissinger's take on all this?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
