True. Even though I disagree with Ben Shapiro on many things, you have to admire how he started at the bottom rung of society, and through tenacity, hard work, and a stick-to-it attitude, he pulled himself up by his bootstraps and attained success by the sweat of his own brow.
Just kidding. He is the child of Hollywood insiders who gave him every imaginable head start and his popularity was almost entirely manufactured through ad buys on Facebook.
And who purchased those ads? They were funded by The Daily Wire, which was itself funded by Dan and Farris Wilks, the billionaire Texas brothers who made their fortune in fracking.
And why did the Wilks brothers choose to pour millions of dollars into the creation of right-wing influencers? Because they saw Ben Shapiro as a delivery mechanism for content engineered to turn their billionaire theology, culture-war paranoia, and plutocratic self-interest into a brand.
At every stage of his rise, there has been big greasy wads of money pushing him into our feeds and our faces. Where would he be today if he were born some broke loser? He'd probably still be just that.
Now he wants to cast everyone who struggles as lazy, even though he's never had to work for shit. Everything he has was handed to him by people who saw that he was the perfect empty vessel to spew their repulsive elitist garbage disguised as oxymoronical "right-wing populism."
Fuck this little smarmy bitch.
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
This story not getting enough attention. Here are the facts..
1. He is a United States citizen
2. He was robbed by ICE
3. He was choked nearly to death
4. He is a child
Gestapo agent got mad at a whistle, slipped trying to get the whistler and then tackled the person he slid into because he got embarrassed.
ICE is full of the dumbest, most unfit and pathetic men you could find- unfortunately because they get violent as a result of their pride being bruised, this makes them dangerous.
