1. I hope Ivanka and Jared get taken prisoner by the Albanian people and held somewhere in the mountains

as a threat to the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Albania. Fuck ‘em.

From CNN:

In a slickly produced podcast interview published this week, Ivanka Trump talked about her latest real-estate project – what she described as an “unbelievable, beautiful 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean” plus five beautiful miles of Albanian beachfront intended to become resorts and hotels.

But the project backed by the US president’s daughter and son-in-law Jared Kushner includes planned development of a protected natural area along the coast across from the island, which conservation groups say has already damaged the beautiful area Trump was praising.

The luxury venture has sparked large street protests in the capital, Tirana, where demonstrators carried pink cardboard cutouts of the flamingos whose habitat they say is being threatened, and a broader backlash from citizens in Albania, which has one of the lowest rates of GDP per capita in Europe.

The Europe director for environmental charity BirdLife, Ariel Brunner, said he and other conservationists visited the nature site in early May, where they saw excavators digging up the beach and trucks laying gravel. “There was no sign whatsoever, neither by the lagoon where they were cutting the road, nor on the beach where the machinery was working… there were no signs of any kind of license or permits or even just declaration of who they were.”



This should not be made into a resort for rich mother fuckers. The Trumps and Kushner are
just no good shits. End of story.

Btw can Ivanka get anymore work done on her face?


Btw 2.oh …. Ivanka in her promo for her Island for the rich in the Adriatic. “We were on a friend’s boat
… yacht … and we discovered this island and we swam to the shore and then hiked to the top of the
mountain in our bare feet.”

Albania Freezes Kushner Resort Assets in Corruption Probe

June 4, 2026

Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen bank accounts of a landholding company tied to Jared Kushner’s $4 billion luxury resort project amid a property fraud investigation into disputed land titles. Thousands of protesters have rallied across Albania against the development, citing environmental threats and corruption, while the probe tests Albania’s justice reforms and EU accession credibility.

As reported by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors on Tuesday froze the bank accounts of a landholding company tied to the controversial $4 billion luxury resort project. The Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) specifically targeted Albania Land Development, which is owned by Qatari investors involved in the resort venture.

The asset freeze represents a significant escalation in what has become Albania’s most high-profile corruption investigation in recent years. According to OCCRP reporting, the investigation focuses on property fraud related to 2024 land reclassifications and ownership changes that permitted development in areas previously designated as protected zones.

(Qatari investors hmmm.)
