Ever Wonder Why Your Never Trump Allies Are So Friendly and Deferential...

...to the same legacy media institutions that have fucked us over so badly?

Well, perhaps it's because outfits like The Bulwark are sponsored by outfits like Jeff Bezos' Washington Post.

Yeah, that Washington Post.   From NPR:

Over 200,000 subscribers flee 'Washington Post' after Bezos blocks Harris endorsement

The Washington Post has been rocked by a tidal wave of cancellations from digital subscribers and a series of resignations from columnists, as the paper grapples with the fallout of owner Jeff Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president...

From the transcript of live ad read in the middle of the above-referenced podcast.

Tim Miller:  Hey guys, if you listen to this podcast you care about what's going on in the world.  And you know we're doing our best here at the Bulwark as we grow, to expand out, reporting, reported commentary no bullshit insight.   But, like all of this stuff is based on people doing shoe leather reporting.  People going out there and gathering sources and going around the world an... and educating us about what's happening in the world.  And... and one of the places that's out there still doing that is the Washington Post.  Uh, and this podcast is sp... sponsored by The Washington Post.  When you go to Washington Post.com slash The Bulwark, our listeners can get an exclusive deal to subscribe for just 50 cents per week for your first year.  Uh...if you listen to us you know the great work the Washington Post does on a bunch of topics...

Republicans agenda of more tax cuts for the wealthy is one of those scratching each others backs.
Right wing billionaires fund GOP from donating to their election to funding Heritage foundation and most of the other supporting noise.
When GOP is elected, they cut taxes on the wealthy in the name of trickle down when actually it provides the funds to continue the GOP funding cycle and some while wealthy gets a nether lump sum for their pocket on top.
Once the money crates the Zombie horde. It then must have the funds to keep it fed.

the NT fraternity wants their ride back....trump jacked it.

their ride is a group that puts the fun in fungible. a group of emotionally driven enraged stupids that will vote anyway anybody but a democrat suggests.

a group that is convinced that there is good and evil in the world and no matter what they do they are the good...because they feel they are.
