Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

Charles Kushner isn't just the father of Ivanka's husband. He's a convicted felon who was angry at his sister for testifying against him. So he hired a prostitute to seduce her husband & record it on video, which he sent to his sister. He's the worst of the worst. No. Wait. Trump rapes little girls.
