    Staggeringly good and outrage-inducing profile of Mark Burnett, by ⁦@praddenkeefe⁩. And with one of those kickers that just leaves you short of breath.https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/01/07/how-mark-burnett-resurrected-donald-trump-as-an-icon-of-american-success …

        Most of us knew he was a fake,” Braun told me. “He had just gone through I don’t know how many bankruptcies. But we made him out to be the most important person in the world. It was like making the court jester the king.” Nuff said.

        so, what connection does Mark Burnett have to Russian Oligarchs, White Supremacists, or Vladimir Putin?

        Three years ago I decided I could never ever again watch anything associated with Mark Burnett. He’s responsible as much as any single individual for the dumbing down of our country

        Really good and really depressing profile of a fake Christian.

        Unfortunately, of the tens of millions of Trump voters, and the tens of millions more of his non-voting supporters, not a single solitary one will read that article to the end. Nor, sadly, will the overwhelming majority of his opponents in the US. 😞
