Tucker Carlson's blog got quite a payday

Especially interesting that this came as there was speculation that Carlson—a sometime Trump political adviser—might run for POTUS in 2024, something Trump wouldn't want him to do because he needs the way to remain clear for Don or Ivanka

Carlson left the Daily Caller—again, just a blog with no journalists on staff but (nevertheless) access to the White House press pool—in early June, presumably after he'd secured money from Trump for (did I mention) a website that's simply a blog with no actual journalists aboard

The Daily Caller was last seen blogging about how a single George Washington statue being defaced in Portland was proof positive that Trump had not lied to America—for the 20,000th time, per media—in saying that there was/is a massive movement afoot to destroy Washington statues

A good example of a Daily Caller blogger is @jordylancaster, who recently scored a huge viral hit by lying to Trumpists in a strange way—she told them that every journalist who works for a media outlet is expected to read and know the facts of every story published by that outlet

I suppose a fun test would be to pepper @jordylancaster with questions on Daily Caller blog-posts—demanding quick answers, so she can't cheat—on the topics Tucker's blog most frequently covers, e.g. puppetry, how to start a trash fire, and the best way to run through a glass door

Anyway, everyone should check out Tucker's blog, as if you're paying taxes you're paying for it, now—despite it not having journalists on staff and being, you know, just something for far-right bloggers like @jordylancaster to do before they finally go off to Liberty for college

You're paying for the person below to blog, America. (So thank Uncle Donald, @jordylancaster—he's incredibly free with the money when it's not his!)
