    He’s an alt-right pundit that tries to pretend he isn’t right wing. But who only ever seems to have mild disagreements with right wing figures while he attacks the left. His Wikipedia article has a “Views” section that does a pretty good job illustrating why he is… Not great let’s say.

        Yep. Even in the “best case” scenario where none of the “talent” at Tenet was being directly told what to say, the disinfo people being like “Hey big dog, love what you’re doing. Here’s an ungodly amount of money to keep doing it,” isn’t functionally any different. It only means they potentially didn’t directly commit the crime of being an unregistered foreign agent or whatever the wording is.

        They just found somebody prominent that was already saying most of what they wanted to pay someone directly to say and basically got them for a discount because they didn’t need to convince them to say it.

      Is this the same guy who is apparently so insecure about his hair loss that he’s also trying to pretend he’s not bald?

        You mean Timothy Daniel Pool? The same Timothy Daniel Pool that constantly wears a beanie even if it’s wildly inappropriate to be doing so for wherever he is because he’s insecure about his hair loss and viciously attacks anyone who even remotely insinuates that this is what’s happening? That guy? Yeah pretty sure.
