The Washington Post Wants to Protect Its Owner From a Wealth Tax

Add Ross Ulbricht! Founder of Silk Road- he sold over a billion in hard drugs & was sentenced to life in prison. Trump pardoned him on his first day!

A drug kingpin and his buddies might be in a position to siphon big money to Trump? With Trump the magic is in the money involved. He has no morals whatsoever. "Send me the money then we'll talk."

Meanwhile... conspiracy theorist and Trump influencer Laura Loomer receives credentials and desk at Pentagon after media purge ca.news.yahoo.com/maga-conspir...

Brief recap: On Friday, the WaPo reported that SecDef Hegseth personally ordered the execution of helpless survivors of a military attack, literally the definition of a war crime. Since then, no other outlet has been to able to replicate that reporting, even though they’d love to. (1/2)

Meanwhile, the panicked buck passing reactions of the Pentagon and WH, and condemnations by all, even GOP MoC (!) indicate that the original Post story is true. So kudos to the Post, on doing something that — to date — no one else has the resources to do. (2/2)
