I have a question. The following comment was made in this article:

"We don’t take foreign cash".

That's good ... I guess. But can I ask what domestic cash the Bulwark takes?

There is credible reporting that Sarah Longwell's firm was taking significant sums of money from the Koch network as recently as 2022.

Further, the paid "Democratic influencers" mentioned in the Wired article last year had a remarkable overlap with influencers who appeared on FYPod.

Sarah taking Koch money does not necessarily imply that The Bulwark was likewise taking Koch or Chorus money, but it would be nice to clarify.

Thank you.

"Conservative influencer" is an oxymoron. I guess all the ones referenced here are rabid AUTHORITARIAN influencers, and I guess others are of the far-left variety, but I refuse to take the word of anyone called an "influencer."

EVERYONE of these MAGA sycophants craves attention/relevance in this universe of the crazies.

Not one of them will disagree with Trump 3.0, especially if it is Don Jr. or even JDV, become the next cult leader. No D or woman good good enough for this crowd.

Every time I read one of these newsletters I stare at the screen wondering if I live on the same planet as the rest of these people. Pretty sure the answer is "no."

They are eating their own. Nice to see at least some of them experience what they've been dishing out to others so eagerly. Enjoy, boys and girls.

Goethe wrote his Faust masterpiece and these people use it as a manual.

What am I talking about? Not one of them has read it.

Granted I'm more of a classic rock fan than of country music so when you say "country music sensation Alexis Wilkins," I'm glad you clarify who she is by adding she is Kash Patel's girlfriend. Otherwise I have no idea who that "sensation" is.

Yuck, these MAGA influencers are like Eagles fans, professional

haters who hate their own tribe more than anything.

To round out our information, You might consider getting an interview with John Bolton, an old hawk, on the subject of Iran actions so far. I'll Bet he is not a fan of Trump's handling of the war thus far, even though he is a proponent of the IDEA behind the war.

Is it weird I've heard of none of these people other then Tucker?

There is just so much fuckin' crazy in the MAGA universe.

If you are lucky enough to live as long as I have, you will inevitably meet a few folks that are unencumbered by logic and reason, but these people are next level.

I always enjoy your written pieces and your videos. Just a minor comment about using the description "country music sensation Alexis Wilkins." The word "sensation" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
