Political Philanthropy

This week is why I'm tired of hearing about Tucker Carlson. Three people got spectacularly wealthy by their proximity to Trump - Susie Wiles, James Blair, and Chris LaCivita. It was their job to win the midterms. They failed catastrophically. Yet my timeline is full of Tucker this, Nick Fuentes that. Was it Tucker who sold MAHA out to Bayer and gas station heroin companies? Was it Fuentes who said that mass deportations were unpopular, and that Trump should stop them? Was it Candace telling Trump that 94% of MAGA supported the Iran war? Was it Comic Dave Smith saying that Trump should tell people who wanted the Epstein files to be unsealed to sit out the midterms? Did they take $10,000,000 a year for 5 years for a "job" - corruption of such unbelievability that it wouldn't clear the writers room of the Sopranos. We are such a childish culture that we don't know how to appoint accountability. Or are afraid to. People go after Nick and Tucker because it's safe. Nobody will lose their access to the White House. Nobody will have the goon squads coordinate in group chats about them. Some may even be rewarded by head pats or maybe receive a small allowance from a billionaire donor. Where as if you bring up corruption within the White House, there's a problem. Admin figures won't go on the YouTube slop shows. You won't get invited to events. I was specifically black listed from the Easter Egg roll. That's how petty these people are. My kid couldn't go the White House because I wouldn't shill for the Iran war. Anyone who spends their time on Tucker / Candace / Nick while never reporting on the real corruption and self-enrichment are telling on themselves. They sold their souls to stay in the good graces of very disgusting people. They sold you out. Now none of this means you shouldn't criticize anyone. I don't like that Tucker calls himself "just a podcaster." I don't call myself an "influencer." Like it or not, we have a higher calling from God. People are modeling themselves and forming their worldviews on what they read and watch and listen to. This doesn't make anyone responsible for what someone else does, but we should all feel a heavy weight each night. We should feel inadequate to the task. Like we failed somehow, but will nevertheless wake up the next day and do it all over again. Even so, what exactly can Tucker (or I) do? He can't control information flow to Trump. He doesn't come from a lobbying shop that made $100,000,000 last year and this year, and that has richly rewarded him. I sometimes watch his show and see his posts, most of the time I don't. That's not shade or negging. Nobody is reading all of my posts. Let's be real here. Everyone is busy. Every day, James / Chris / Susie have access to Trump. They are rich beyond your wildest dreams. What did they do with this power? Why doesn't anyone ever ask about *that*? We all know why. There are real consequences to taking on the big industries that we were sold out to. They'll plant stories, send out group chats to go after you, try getting you fired, and threaten to kill you. The good news of an ass kicking is that there's no way to rationalize it. A close election could have led to excuse making. We are now facing a disaster. TEXAS IS BLUE. Because Grassley and the Senate refused to modify outdated rules, Democrats are in control of Cabinet appointments for at least the next 4 years. There are people responsible for this. Very rich and powerful people. Let's see more discussion of them.
