I was certain when I got out of the Army that my daily interactions with idiots would drastically decrease….

Then I found Tiger Droppings.

I would put the Twitter influencers at the top like Loomer, DC Draino, and catturd.

Kushner getting the Saudis to invest 2 billion in his investment firm!!!! Soo much grift there. They just gave him 2 billion dollars.............wait, he has to give that back? Is that how investments work at investment firms???? He's legally obligated to return the 2 billion with interest????

I think they're true believers

Grifting to me involves dishonesty. Pushing views you don't believe in, but are good red meat for the audience (MAGA, in this example).

Tucker is my go to for this.

I think the biggest grift is pushing the narrative that Trump is the worst person the world has ever seen and then asking your donors for money to defeat him because a 2nd term would end America as we know it......

I know you rip the podcast guys for this, but like PBD and Jimmy Dore just enjoy what they perceive as anti-establishment positions -- I like how some of the alt-left and alt-right right has come together to take on MSM insanity, the MIC, big tech, the big brother intel agencies, etc.. I don't know enough about Pool to comment there.

tInfluencer brigade.

All the myths and language come from these spinmeisters.

The legends they have created are impressively effective.

That’s funny because I think Tucker is finally pushing the views he does believe in, or at least is more open to exploring alternative views because he’s not involved with major media.

How is that a grift if it’s cost him losing his retail sellers?

I'm not against it. I just don't know how much of it is truthful/legitimate.

PBD is just a slimeball. I don't know if that guy has any real beliefs other than figuring out how to scam people for money

There does come a point for some of these guys where they have to be so repetitive with the red meat for so long, while forming new social groups (for obvious reasons), where they do start to believe it, to an extent. It wouldn't shock me if Pool/Dore were there now.

It destroys some souls, too. Rekieta...holy shite. He's the opposite of above where the grind of the bullshite clearly just ate him up inside and led him down a dark path to fill the void.

Here is an oldie but an example I don't think people would have too much issues with: Milo.

I am with you, I don't think he is necessarily a MAGA/populist con artist like SFP does. I think he truly hates the intel agencies/MIC now and has evolved somewhat. He is one of the few alt-right or whatever guys not bowing down to Israel.

Tucker went down this path literally on major media (FNC)

The leftwing MSM and shows like The View using Trump and his supporters as their primary subject content for the past 9 years.

I think Trump posing with a Bible for a picture was pretty dishonest, the guy couldn’t even name a favorite Bible verse when asked, because it was “too personal.”

I mean I’m still voting for him, but that was pretty cringe.
