The Wikipedia page of Charles Kushner, your new Ambassador to France.
Disbarred in 3 states, convicted felon for illegal campaign contributions, witness tampering (kept it cute), and tax evasion.
He couldn't get a real estate license in Calif, but ok.

Do you know what the worst drug I’ve ever tried is?Lexapro. That is why I haven’t been able to tweet. I’ve been in horrible pain a great deal of the time. Do not ever ever ever take an SSRI off of them is unbelievably difficult.

And a plastic bottle of water with hundreds of thousands of particles of micro plastics is the perfect accompaniment to this brutalized ultra processed bread
Growing up in NYC, we never ate fresh bread from a local bakery. All we had was this concoction of flour, water, emulsifiers and preservatives that came in a plastic bag. wsj.com/business/bread-shelf… via @WSJ

#AnthonyTrollope, xenophobe & anti-semite? Or the most "Jewish" of great British novelists? A contrarian view by @annmarlowe @tabletmag tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…
Anthony Trollope did his writing - 43 novels' worth - between 530 am and leaving for a high level job at the Post Office where he worked for 32 years. Then again, he didn't have to check his social media.
The fantastically skilled and prolific Anthony Trollope, who was born yesterday in 1815, has much to say about what makes a lady or a gentleman, yet his ferocious work ethic and unabashed interest in money has made his own status questionable: tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

First of a series of questions no one asks about Vlad #Doronin: At the beginning of his career, how did this obscure Soviet university grad come to the attention of Marc Rich, who could have hired anyone? Was it a family connection?

Opinion: Canada will finally allow banks to share data about crooked clients to combat financial crime /via @globeandmail #aml #financialcrime theglobeandmail.com/business…
Money laundering in the U.K. has never been easier. London’s Heathrow Airport doesn’t check outbound suitcases for cash. Dubai welcomes sacks of it with no questions except: How much you got? wsj.com/business/airlines/he… via @WSJ
"When Vlad wants something, he gets it." How a Soviet-born billionaire conquered the exclusive hotel empire of Aman. The latest in glossy Doroninology, but thorough #Doronin #Aspen. The Russian mise en scene is missing, though..

"Casual fans of Trump’s dictator-talk may wish to ponder the merits of a system which leads here: 'Eventually, passing from one room to the other became a complicated activity. . . . Any repetitive movement increased my heartbeat.'" plus.thebulwark.com/p/hisham…
My recent essay on what the new novel "My Friends" by @hishamjmatar tells us about #Libya and how dictatorships change the psyche of those who endure them. A good gift for anyone who talks about voting for #Trump.
"Figuring out why Libya ended up in a mess again will involve understanding how this process went wrong. The suggestion is that, unknowingly, you can take the internalized tyrant into the new state with you." plus.thebulwark.com/p/hisham…
