So, in the end, the owners of some papers just couldn't bring themselves to really endorse a candidate. Of the bigly ones, first there was Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times. Then it was Jeff Bezos of the Washington Post who went to his wardrobe and put on the long Nazi leather coat and washed his greasy paws of the whole thing. It's a real age of cowardice, now. Some people really love their Lex Luthors, I guess. We know how Bezos treats his employees and we also know that his Amazon is too big and entrenched to boycott. It's reasonable to assume that Soon-Shiong shares a lot of the same negative characteristics. In any event, an increasing number of the business enterprises of the super rich are so big that to launch an assault on them might seriously damage the economy itself. Still, we did once have politicians who saw good reasons to break up AT&T. That seems like prehistory now, especially after the infamous Trump/Ryan Tax Scam of 2017.
Look at how the worst humans love Elon Musk and he builds exploding cars! In 6 years time from now, or less, we'll be wondering if there's such a thing as a billionaire that isn't a complete terrorist scumbag. Make that trillionaire. Any exceptions to the rule are already few and far between. This isn't all that new of course. Henry Ford, a stinking rich man of his time, was also a conspiracy nut automaker. But Ford's vehicles didn't explode, at least as long as you drove carefully or didn't use them to carry munitions on the battlefield. Oh, but he was best pals with old Adolf and even ran his own Nazi newspaper in Dearborn, Michigan. If Henry Ford was around today, he would be right there with Musk, politically, and safe to say, Henry would have appeared with Trump, Stephen Miller, Tucker Carlson, the Proud Boys and the rest of today's Nazi crew at the GOP's recent Saturday Night Nazifest at Madison Square Garden. As an aside, please don't blame ol' Nazi Henry for the Ford Pinto. That was decades after he was gone and, if anything, the exploding Pintos have simply served as a template for the current Muskmobiles. Lex Luthor indeed!
The Bezos and Soon-Shiong moves to not endorse either candidate or one of the 3rd party also ran dipshits was an obvious compromise favor to The Diaper Don, of course. Like Musk who is actively campaigning and using X for purposes of installing the Orange Monster, they all love to inhale his essence in every way! The owners of the papers have to have known what the reaction would be but don't bother fooling yourself into thinking such cretins care what anyone thinks. It's the psychopathology of the powermad and don't forget the roles of Peter Thiel and his fuhrer-in-waiting J.D. Vance in any of this. There's another bit of tangled web stuff, too: Like Musk, Bezos has a spaceship company, Blue Origin. His company met with Trump the same day the WAPO endorsement was quashed. Some coinkydink, eh? Bezos denies there's a connection, of course. Did somebody say "future government contracts?" This is the filthy rich currying favor with the man who wants to be the 21st century's Adolf. Send them all to the hot side of Mercury.
The same could be said of former President George W. Bush but is anybody really genuinely surprised that Dubya or "Jeb" Bush would do something for a fellow Nazi. Dubya's grandfather, Senator Prescott Bush was a financial architect of Hitler's movement in Germany. For that, he ran afoul of the Tradiing With The Enemy Act. In the end, he was allowed to continue as a Senator and build the family fortune. And, don't worry, I won't forget to mention his son George H.W. I've written about him before and we know case of apples not falling far from the trees when we see them. And, hey, ya think Nixon would have rooted for Trump? In a heartbeat; if the man ever had a heart, that is.
To be fair, and you know I'm always fair, Dubya's wife, Laura, a librarian by profession, has endorsed Kamala Harris and one of their daughters is working on Kamala's campaign. Wonders never cease? I can't wait for books called "I Married A Nazi!" and "Daddy Was A Nazi!" I'd buy those, even if I had to buy them on Amazon. I won't be buying any of Elon's hideous four-wheeled book burners, though.
And, as a reminder for tomorrow, here's a nice handy-dandy "diagram" of Trump's Mein Kampf. Yeah, he denies all knowledge about it and says "I know nothing! Nothing!" Of course, he does!
