Trump’s Son-In-Law Seeks To Buy Dodgers

Its about time someone brought some class to this process.

Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, is looking to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Kushner, 31, is the owner and publisher of the Observer Media Group, the organization responsible for the New York Observer. He married Ivanka Trump in October, 2009 tying the knot between two highly successful real estate empires….

Kushner, like the Caruso group, would most likely be interested in developing the real estate surrounding Dodger Stadium. Thus far, team owner Frank McCourt is including the stadium in the sale but not the land the parking lots sit on. Clearly, to maximize the value of selling the Dodgers, the real estate would have to be included.

Who is the youngest majority owner in MLB history?

Tom Yawkey was 30 when he bought the Red Sox.

It seems wrong that he could be both an MLB owner and married to Ivanka Trump. He should have to choose one or the other.

Don't care for Donald Trump, but like Eamus Catuli, agree that Ivanka Trump is way way hot.

Jared Kushner bought the New York Observer a few years ago and pretty much ran it into the ground. Hope the Dodgers fare better.

And yes, Ivanka is very good-looking.

Ivanka is very good-looking.


So, does that mean that The Donald is not The Daddy, or are we talking reconstructive surgery?

Lots of surgery. Like, Joan Rivers levels.

Poor Dodgers fans, out of the frying pan and into the fire. Kushner is an utter twit. He'll be even worse for the team than the McCourts.

Lots of surgery. Like, Joan Rivers levels.


Is that above or below Michael Jackson levels?

I didn't see where Jared Kushner was in the lead. There's over a half dozen bids for the Dodgers, and I doubt Kusher has the most favored bid.

Jared's father pleaded guilty a couple years back and served time for cheating on his taxes and making illegal campaign contributions - as well as blackmailing his former business partner by hiring a prostitute, videotaping the encounter, and then threatening to send it to the wife of the business partner.

If this wasn't New Jersey, you might be surprised that the biggest beneficiary of Kushner's Daddy Warbucks ways was... Jim McGreevey.

And that the tape was indeed sent to the wife.

And that said wife who got the tape in the mail happens to be - wait for it, wait for it, wait for it - Kushner's own sister. Yes, the blackmail target was his brother-in-law.

He'll have so much to talk about with Hal and Hank Steinbrenner.

#9--Only in NJ.

Who in their right mind would bid anywhere over $1B, without getting rights to the parking lots?
   13. AndrewJ Posted: February 07, 2012 at 10:35 PM (#4056049)
Lots of surgery. Like, Joan Rivers levels.

Are you suggesting... Bruce Jenner levels?

#9 - To make the story complete, the video was delivered immediately before a Passover Seder that all were to attend.
