There's almost no single tweet that proves how Trump was able to gain such a stranglehold on the Republican Party than that Kristol tweet. It belongs in The Louvre.
And also today you have Jonah talking to John Bolton about "The future of the Republican party" while simultaneously guffawing at how someone like Charlie Kirk, who goes to college campuses and speaks to kids, can get such a following. Lost the plot. Completely.
If you want to know how Trump happened, look in a mirror.

Perhaps it would be in the best interest of self proclaimed conservative outlets to get someone or anyone under the age of 50 talk about what the future holds.
Your donors are dying and they are being replaced by Charlie Kirk. So yeah maybe don’t complain when you are begging 70 year olds for OpEds over talking to college kids about what conservatism’s future holds.
Yeah you don’t to complain what Charlie Kirk or TPUSA is doing to the GOO while clinging to zombie Reaganism and giving Oped space about the future of conservatism to a 72 year old man.
You’re a journalist who chose to ignore COVID violations by elected officials in major cities but felt rage walking bu a private residence. Get fucked.
Basically cleaning & doing dishes to the score and voiceover of Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
"He scrubbed under a golden burning bulb. He did it alone, containing his rage, as tho ever scrub of a plate kept him from murdering every person in the room"
"Plates were ice cold like a winter morn. They stacked over a foot high, and yet he continued on, almost as if the very act of cleaning kept him distracted from those whom he cooked for and refused to help"
"The guests dined, they laughed. They were merry. More so than in dark weeks gone by."
(Violin)
"And yet, they still refused to help Jesse clean. He stood alone, doing their fine porcelain, his eyes never blinking. As though his guests alone were too much to handle."
Guys, this is a really, *really good test about where our truth to power media stands.
Will they ask devout Catholic President Elect Joe Biden (which they reminded for us months) about the SCOTUS decision against Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Jeff Goldberg said at the time that more sources would come forward in the “coming days and weeks” to confirm their reporting based on an anonymous account.
None ever did & no one in the press held him to that statement.
If you want to know how Facebook dies, this would be it.
There’s not a single person with more than 3 brain cells who thinks NY Times or CNN aren’t also “hyperpartisan” and when Facebook starts caving to so called “tech journos” it’s over, which is ironically what those outlets and journalists want.
