Here's a perfect example of how fake "Populism Inc" is under people like Charlie Kirk. On the same day Business Insider publishes an explosive story about Kushner's shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash... 1/
...Kirk publishes a piece puffing up Kushner's "legacy," which amounts to exactly zero for Americans, least of all those who believe in America First as a concept 2/
Here are some snips from the story Kirk doesn't want you to read or believe: "Jared Kushner approved the creation of a shell company that spent almost half of the Trump campaign's $1.26B war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider exclusively." 3/
"The shell company — incorporated as American Made Media Consultants Corporation and American Made Media Consultants LLC — allowed Trump's campaign to skirt federally mandated disclosures. The tactic could attract scrutiny from federal election regulators." lmao "America Made" 4/
You thought Brad Parscale was bad? His firing was pretty much a cover for Kushner. "But the campaign actually spent the bulk of the money at AMMC — $415 million — after Trump fired Parscale as campaign manager on July 15." 5/
In other words, Kushner is running a massive grift from within the White House. Does Trump know? Does he care? If he doesn't know, what does that say of his judgement? 6/
Here's my article from April on Kushner's schemes 8/ amgreatness.com/2020/04/24/ame…
How very "grassroots" to coordinate cover for the most corrupt person in the White House. Please give more money to TPUSA and whatever mailers you get from the Trump administration. The republic depends on the grift 9/
Regarding 2/ -- I meant Kirk *shares* an article published today. I highly doubt he writes anything of his own lmao
All of this matters because Kushner will be involved in Trump's second run at the WH, as well people like Brooke Rollins. Sorry to say, but if he comes along with Brooke, it's all a massive grift, again 10/

Today, Business Insider published a story about Jared Kushner using a shell company to enrich himself and his allies with $617 million in reelection cash and Charlie Kirk ran cover for him. Also today, Politico announced Kirk's appointment to the 1776 Commission 1/
Also on the commission is Brooke Rollins, who is an ally to Kushner and one of the most subversive people in the White House. Rollins is also going to be running Trump's post-presidency with an eye to getting him reelected in 20204 2/
The Populism Inc grift is virtually indistinguishable from Conservatism Inc at this point. It's nothing but self-helping and scamming and half-fulfilled promises undermined by bigger blunders 3/

A lot of responses to this thread, so I'll say: If after all that has happened, he has chosen Ivanka to carry the torch after him and Brooke Rollins to "advance the MAGA agenda," then Trump himself is promoting globalism. When do you stop blaming advisors and start blaming Trump?
After four years, Trump continues to promote people who are antagonistic to "America First" as a concept while leaving allies out to dry. I've written extensively on bad actors within the WH, but at the end of the day, and at the end of the first term, Trump let it all happen
"There is no Trumpism without Trump" -- Trump himself is killing Trumpism by promoting and delegating to enemies of the ideas of 2016

This is true and it shows Trump hasn't learned anything after all this time. Rollins hates Trump's base. She is a very literal Koch shill. If Trump runs again with Rollins and Kushner at the wheel, it is not an America First platform regardless of what he says 1/
Few people hold Trump's base in contempt like Rollins and few people deserve as much contempt as Rollins. I laid a lot of this out here 2/ amgreatness.com/2020/06/09/as-…
Here is who Trump is entrusting with "saving the republic" 3/ americanmind.org/salvo/dont-bot…

Imagine wanting your children to be brainwashed to hate their fatherland and their group. This is incomprehensible to me, pride in being pathetic and weak
Tim shouts "homeschool her," but people like this either are too lazy to do that or would just end up giving their kids an as bad or worse education employing Ta-Nehisi Coates books on the syllabus
Someone off camera anyway, I don't know if it was Tim

A reason Dan Cringeshaw invites an orgy of adoration from neocons is that he's unusual for the type: he at least served in the military and is masculine, whereas most neocons are weak, effeminate, cowardly, so they call for regime change but never want to fight. See Kristol et al
These people are basically just performing public onanism over deeds they cannot or would never dare to do, it's living vicariously through others from a think tank or a magazine no one cares about but other onanists
Look at Ian Stevens, hear Daniel Di Martino's voice, feast your eyes on Bill Kristol and tell me these people aren't just indulging in the shame of onanism over things they physically and mentally could never undertake

One immediate problem with secession is that the enemy is imperialistic and will never stop coming. For example, what neoconservatives did to Iraqis, they will want done to secessionists
What the left and neocons have in common is that they are imperialistic. You will also be on stolen land/a national security threat to these people
I raise this point because it seems like secessionists think separation would mean peace but I highly doubt that. In fact it would justify treating secessionists as foreign combatants. Something to consider
