We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

She said none of the donors are disclosed. Chorus is funded by the 1630 Fund which voluntarily discloses donors. So much of her “article” is outright false. And the only people who believe her at this point are the “revolutionaries” who attack Democrats more than Republicans.

The Swedish government refused to back Oscar, as the two governments were separate in domestic matters, and absolutely refused to support a war. So Norway was free to declare independence and invite a Danish prince to take the throne. Compared to Italian unification, that’s tame.

Meanwhile, Lorenz excused Republicans for doing much more unethical funding of their media creators. The hypocrisy is blatant. Finally, people believing her keep bringing up Gaza.

jdr1992.bsky.social (@jdr1992.bsky.social) reply parent
Lorenz made wild claims without any evidence and sometimes outright lying. BTC wasn’t keeping it a secret, he was talking about Chorus for months. But instead of admitting she lied, she’s being manipulative and accusing everyone else of lying. She deserves no credibility.
jdr1992.bsky.social (@jdr1992.bsky.social) reply parent
Furthermore, the group funding Chorus, 1630, also funds another group that pays Lorenz. So if Chorus is unethical, so is the group Lorenz accepts money from. But while it’s dark money in that donors aren’t legally required to be reported, 1630 voluntarily reports donors.

Taylor Lorenz wrote a hit piece about the group Chorus. She claimed it was a secret, that it restricted what creators could say, and that it was DNC controlled. None of that is true. Instead, Lorenz is a narcissist angry that she doesn’t control the narrative and was fired for poor journalism.
