Tim Miller just got off MSNBC and has more to say about Jeff Bezos’s shameless attempts to cozy up to Donald Trump, all in the name of winning more government contracts for Blue Origin.
Marty Barron who was editor at the Washington Post
He served as editor at the Boston Globe and was the one that broke the Catholic Church child sexual abuse scandal in Boston
He is an integral man of honor and a real journalist, newspaper, man, and editor, in every sense of the word
The Washington Posts model is
“ Democracy Dies in Darkness “
He wrote a book in 2023
Titled
“ Collision of Power : Trump , Bezos in the Washington Post”
I wonder if he’s going to write a sequel now that Jeff Bezos has totally capitulated to Trump and Maga selling the Washington Post out .
Marty Barron would be a good guest to have on your podcast to talk about the freedom of speech and the role of free journalism and the Free Press in a democracy
Ok - so I guess I’m going to play devil’s advocate here: Lauren Sanchez does not lack serious credentials. Maybe she represents the new “elite.” MAGA approved. MAGA aligned. MAGA billionaire. …that’s all that matters now…right?
Profound disgust at the acts of the disgusting. This is what I come here for. (Not always, but it's never, ever unwelcome.) Thank you for being horrified and decent with us, Tim. Thank you, as always, for the reminder that NO, we are not the ones on the crack here.
(I have never been petty...until Trump 2.0. Which is why I will now say the following: Jeff and his stupid midlife-crisis cowboy hat are pathetic and will be remembered as such, so it's good that they got a bunch of RILLY nice pictures to remember them by [juxtaposed with their deeds] [you in this now, Lauren, no "his" and "hers"].)
It is amazing that even after the “Musk thing”, Bezos still thinks he’s special enough to survive trump. LOL, but as Rick Wilson says “Everything Trump Touches Dies”. Bezos will be no exception.
PS: have found that I get by just fine without Amazon!!!!
Right? Nobody has ever survived Trump's narcissism (I would like to point out that I reflexively almost included an asterisk in "narcissism" to keep social media filters from flagging me for talking about, you know, facts and happenings, so after we take care of Trump we need to deal with the socials), but sure, Jeffie, you're so amazing and different and visionary that you'll be the first. *steps aside so he falls in the hole directly on top of all those who came before*
Honestly, the idea that THESE people are the best and brightest. What a bunch of buffoons. However Americans are remembered, we deserved it.
The still used for the cover of this video is incredibly cute and made me laugh.
Apropos a nothing but these extravagant oligarch weddings always seem so sad and performative to me. I remember some rich Indian guy inviting every celebrity known to man to his wedding and all of them flew in to Mumbai and posted a bunch of pictures of themselves in traditional garb in their socials with captions wishing him and his wife a happy marriage and it was quite apparent he never even met 80% of these people. I don’t think people who are THAT rich have many real friends or normal human connections. Everything is transactional. Everything is a spectacle. What a miserable existence.
THIS. Like, goody for you, you don't have any real friends so all you celebrities just invite other people from your and adjacent industries to fill the seats? Sounds like such a wonderful, personal memory to look back on in your last days, surrounded by, what, jewels and silence, with just the soft beeping and humming of the machines keeping you alive because you are far too special and important to die before your obscene wealth funds the scientific advances necessary to effectively freeze and resurrect you, your family have all deserted you, and your remaining staff are fine keeping the sad gravy train going as long as your money holds out? Imma keep my 15-attendee mountaintop wedding, but you do you. Maybe this is cope, as Tim would say, but at least from the outside, their lives DO look super depressing, like all the empty-headed costumed Capitol people in the Hunger Games. Circuses, indeed.
Re: cover stills, since it's in the "independent media ecosystem" #btc / pro-democracy coalition and therefore fam, Crooked is KILLING me with the PSA audio-only podcast covers, for MONTHS now. SO often, weird pictures of Trump and/or Elon looking disgusting and/or trying to be cool, like the "putting sunglasses on"/mugshot/creepy banner pics. Like, gimme some clouds or a sunset or one of y'all's faces. Gimme staffer of the week. Anything but Trump's giant burnt sienna face making that stupid "o" shape with his stupid mouth. :)
I am disgusted by this decadence when Congress is fighting for more tax relief for these guys while everyday people, veterans, children, etc are losing so much in the BBB. Bezos, you worked in your garage with your first wife to build Amazon. You knew struggle, but you are now ignoring that struggle that others feel for more $$$!You are really disgusting.
I listen to this again with you about the Bezos wedding, which you nailed right on the head
Nothing can be more of a narcissistic me me celebration of ourselves then this display of exorbitant consumption that went on.
While so, many people are suffering and he supports a person that is causing so much chaos suffering, pain, and destruction in our country
This was her second or third marriage with other relationship relationships. This was his second.
Emotionally, mature, love, especially at this age is more quiet and understated.
Marty Barron would be a great guest on the podcast

"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you". *Steelers Wheel
yah. gag me with a spoon.
I never needed the image of Bezos sucking on Trump's toes! Thanks Tim :D
Or teat, though I knew THAT was coming once he said "t...oes."
I DO NOT care about Bozo’s wedding.
What wedding?
So gross! And speaking of people with new faces... These people. Ugh.
Not surprised to see the wealthy elite jockeying for position in Trump's kingdom. Where's are William Wallace? (No, we don't want you Mel Gibson)
Bozo's wedding is vulgar. When you said, "This has all gone to Bezos's head," I thought - That's WHY he can't grow hair!
It is amazing that even after the “Musk thing”, Bezos still thinks he’s special enough to survive trump. LOL, but as Rick Wilson says “Everything Trump Touches Dies”. Bezos will be no exception.
