re: #110 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Why is this news? The RW is all about suckering idiots for “righteous” causes and pocketing the “operating costs”.

Grifting seems to be a feature of conservatism, not a bug.

Speculative thoughts have been floated that Mr. Trump is trying to establish a “Trump TV” organisation (particularly since Mr. Trump expressed interest in such an idea some time ago). Considering he has taken on both Roger Ailes and Steve Bannon for his campaign organisation, it looks like he is setting up his post-election organisation.

Like Sarah TV of Sarah Palin, it looks more like a grifting operation than a real media venture (plus I imagine Mr. Ailes is under a non-compete agreement with Rupert Murdoch).

For most of my fifty+ years, conservative ventures have seemed to me to be different variants on “how to grift from suckers.”

As for racism, I think it is entirely fair to bring it in (with the other things you noted). Tie George Wallace around Mr. Trump’s neck. There is no need to sugar coat his racism; if you would rather not use that term I am fine with “fascism.”
