The US ambassador to France is a convicted felon, father of Jared Kushner.
From Wikipedia:
«In February 2026, French authorities restricted Kushner’s direct access to government ministers after he failed to attend a summons from Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, sending a senior embassy official in his place. The French foreign ministry cited an "apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission".»

- MichaelZuo 3mo agoThough to be fair, if true, putting Israeli flags on the literal doors is very strange. e.g. Nobody puts the flag of Turkiye or Spain, actual NATO allies, on their doors.

- retrac 3mo agoThe US ambassador to Iceland made an inappropriate comment about Iceland being the 52nd state and was summoned by Icelandic President to explain. A poor joke, apparently. One almost wonders if the US admin is actively trying to get one of its ambassadors declared persona non grata.
- pstuart 3mo agoIt would seem like that, but that's bonus. It's really about the spoils of crony oligarchy.
- weinzierl 3mo agoIs 52 a typo or did he really say that? The US has 50 states, so why not 51?
- simiones 3mo agoMaybe his views are more heterodox and he was counting Puerto Rico as 51st! (sarcasm, in case this isn't clear)
- mcherm 3mo agoI suspect that the implication in context was that the 51st state would be Greenland. Which doesn't really help make this less of a diplomatic faux pas.
- bemao 3mo agoProbably a reference to the "joke" that Canada would soon become the 51st state
- csomar 3mo agoGreenland is the 51 state.

- dylan604 3mo agoThe US ambassador to France is a <pardoned> convicted felon, father of Jared Kushner.
- jszymborski 3mo agoA distinction without a difference, he was pardoned by Jared's father in law.
- dylan604 3mo agoI think it makes a huge amount of difference exactly because of what you stated. A pardon absolves one of the sin as if it didn't happen, legally. It however does not wipe the knowledge from people's mind as if it were the gadget from Men In Black. So, adding the <pardon> bit just adds to the depravity
- chmod775 3mo ago> A pardon absolves one of the sin as if it didn't happen, legally. This is incorrect. A pardon is not an expungement. The conviction remains a usable historical fact and could still be referenced in later legal procedings. Exact ramifications vary between innocence-based pardons, rehabilitiation-based pardons, and pure discretionary clemency.
- cogman10 3mo agoIn fact, part of accepting a pardon is accepting guilt. That can particularly be consequential if there is a civil case associated with the criminal charges. For example, if I'm charged with drunk driving and I run into someone's house, by accepting a pardon I have to admit that I'm guilty of drunk driving which the home owner can then use in their civil suit to extra money for the damage I caused. This is part of the reason why people will sometimes not accept a pardon.

- yubblegum 3mo agoSpeaking of Jared Kushner, what has happened to our nation that this grifter twit is fronting one of the most strategically consequential negotiations on behalf of this nation? Is there any precedent in our history for what is going on these days?
- rapnie 3mo agoIn US history, pehaps not. In world history, probably.
- sqwra 3mo agoKushner is doing his job, which is to sabotage the negotiations. The US wants energy dominance over the EU, Japan and China and he perfectly fills his role of seemingly attempting permanent negotiations without results.
- buellerbueller 3mo ago>what has happened to our nation Politics became a social media-based reality show, replacing policy with vibes.

See the gent sitting down next to your elected VP? That is a "prince", a scion of an Arab FAMILY. The grifter twit standing over them? Another "prince", this time of a Jewish FAMILY. They have goals; they have policy preferences, I assure you. Trillions of dollars are involved. Let's just call a spade a spade: this is the emergence of Oligarchy International, sold to us as "a time of confusion because of media chaos".

- throwaway2037 3mo agoI highly recommend that people read about his crimes on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kushner#Criminal_conviction_and_pardon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kushner#Criminal_convi... It reads like a low-level mafia guy from New Jersey. The only thing missing from the story was faking his death. Example: > [Charles] Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranging to record a sexual encounter between the two and send the tape to his sister. Epic!
