The Soyciety Pages: Pierre Omidyar's Dependents for IRS Tax Purposes Flit from One Pierre Omidyar Sponsored Event to Another

From grifter book launch to grifter fundraiser to grifter "gathering" back to a grifter book launch back to a grifter fundraiser...

Julie Kelly:

The gathering featured a whos-who of Trump haters.

According to a weekend blurb in Politico, a launch party Friday night to celebrate the release of yet another screed about Donald Trump attracted journalists and lawmakers as well as NeverTrumpers such as Bill Kristol and David Frum. Unmasking the Presidency, a new book authored by Lawfare's Susan Hennessey and Benjamin Wittes, went on sale a few weeks ago and is already available on Amazon for a deep discount.

The book party was sponsored by Democracy Fund, a nonprofit backed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Since 2016, Omidyar, a self-proclaimed Trump foe, has dumped tens of millions of dollars into projects to sabotage the president. (Lawfare, a wellspring of Russian collusion propaganda, received $600,000 from Democracy Fund between 2017 and 2019.)

So, of course, Kristol was in attendance at the soiree. Alleged "conservatives" in the NeverTrump cabal that Kristol commands have prostituted themselves by accepting money from the leftist tech billionaire with a grudge against the president and a record of hostility to conservatism.

More at the link. Meanwhile, Bill Kristol just announced, get this!, a new "gathering" of "principled conservatives" which you can, get this!, donate your money to.

Here's the event, which I'm told you can still buy tickets to. (Hint!)

*Note: This list continues to grow daily.

How can the list "grow daily"? This is the same list of mutants, grifters, and Omidyar Welfare Dependents that you've been pushing since 2016.

More about that:

Defending Democracy Together received $1.6 million from Omidyar in 2018. Figures for 2019 not available BUT since they spent millions on ads against Trump on impeachment, it’s safe to assume Omidyar donated much more.@monacharenEPPC @BillKristol run DDT:https://t.co/a1gwdErlaN

And this is left over from Friday: The Bill-Kristol-boosted joke candidate Joe Walsh went on a tear attacking conservatives as "brainwashed" zombies and stating that people should vote for a avowed socialist.

He also completely proved his "True Conservative" bona fides by pulling the ultimate True Conservative move -- writing an editorial for the Washington Post's lowest-possible-prestige-level vertical, "Post Everything" (where the name "post everything" indicates "we'll publish anything clickbaity") -- which calls conservatives "brainwashed" and "cultists."

See, we're brainwashed because we stopped believing the transparently-false Robotic Conservaspeak Talking Points.

He went on, get this!, CNN to announce he would support any socialist over Trump and that all conservatives who don't support socialists are "cultists."

More:

Many other True Conservatives praised Joe Walsh.

Liberal patrician Bill Weld, CNN fake conservathot turned Bulwark thot Amanda Carpenter, and venomously hardcore leftwinger Joan Walsh of Salon -- now there are three Titans of True Conservatism!

And then Sarah Longwell, also of the Bulwark, decided to promote Walsh.

Wow, look at all these brave independent thinkers, all bravely retweeting each other!!!

Just pathetic @MarthaMcSally. https://t.co/eCGQBwZYxk
