GOP is taking action against Jared & SCOTUS judges

Not when George Santos is still there and McConnell is still keeping Kentucky in poverty.
This episode made it strikingly clear that monetized podcasting means shifting values towards what is actually shady business vs what the right wing decides is shady are not going to be able to find a connection.

Unfortunately this episode doesn't touch on the ongoing corrupt activities of Thomas/Alito & dark $ invading the high Court. Nor anything about Jared's clearly dangerous White House activities. But Hunter is a bad guy who cannot seem to rise to the extent of criminal activity of Jared's billions or the SCOTUS judges who are subsidized by billionaires bribing them for favorable rulings.
Jared happily traded his oath of office & classified Intel for at least $2 billion in personal windfall. I'm disheartened by the fact that this podcast has opted to drift rightward into the area that ignores the facts and uses the crazy caucus as a tool to monetize their podcast discussing the taste for impeaching Biden. I've yet to hear anything remotely close to this topic in regards to the Trump kids but the GOP hasn't got anything remotely close to a definition of criminal activity if it's in their own interests.

The media landscape is filled with right wing grifters and it appears the direction keeps the coffers filled enough that even those podcasts that once were interested in focusing on Truth are eager to grasp their piece of the pie. Money replaces Truth and values are being adapted for Cash. No longer matters how ignorant the podcast must degrade itself in order to keep financial backing. I'm curious whether democracy is for sale to almost anyone with a podcast, I'm disappointed by the direction.
