(snip) -- So-called “conservative” commentator Bill Kristol reportedly has his never-ending campaign to take down President Donald Trump receive funding from a left-wing billionaire.
Kristol, the editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard, seems to have taken his never-Trump activities to another level, actively opposing Republican candidates and conservative causes through the group he founded, “Republicans for the Rule of Law.”
But despite its name, the group seems to have no Republican donors according to a report by Julie Kelly of American Greatness, though there is one prominent benefactor: progressive billionaire Pierre Omidyar, the co-founder of eBay. One of Omidyar’s nonprofits, the Democracy Fund, has given Kristol’s umbrella group, Defending Democracy Together, at least $600,000 since May, according to the report. National Review contributor Mona Charen, Republican strategist Linda Chavez, and former Republican governor Christine Todd Whitman are just some of the other Never-Trumpers who are part of the group with Kristol.
(snip) -- Kristol, who served under Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, is anything but a conservative these days. He has opposed Trump out of the starting gate and slammed his “America First” approach as “vulgar,” and launched Defending Democracy Together to find a GOP candidate to run against Trump in 2020. There was speculation a few months back that the so-called “conservative” commentator might himself be running for president in 2020, a suggestion that prompted White House counselor Kellyanne Conway to quip, “Of this country?”

Bill Kristol --- Once a piece of sh*t .... always a piece of sh*t.
Look at the hateful, beleaguered set of his ugly mouth in nearly every picture of him.
He is a lifeless, depressed man with a deep sense of dread and self-hatred.
I'll send the psychiatric bill in the morning.
It’s all about keeping the borders open and the laws unenforced.
They have a 30 year bipartisan plan to fundamentally transform the USA into North Mexico and they already have US 30 million people down that road.
Trump is a “bump in the road” to them.
To US it is the survival of the Republic.
Finally flushing out these characters is one of the greatest benefits of the rise of President Trump.
There’s no do-overs this time.
His father was intelligent, often worth reading and sometimes supported correct causes. Not perfect but a principled man. This kid is a total disappointment and frankly just a political wh@re to the left wing
He might get some money from his fellow Never Trumpers Flake, Kasich, Ryan, Corker etc.
I see he is loved and adored at cnn and msnbc. They listen to him and cling on to every word he says, he must be lightheaded from all the love he is now getting. Traitor.
Why isnt neocon godfather Richard Perle kicking in?
Perle made so much in war profits off the Iraq invasion, he started his own oil company.....
which was probably the hidden agenda for the neocons warmongering Bush into Iraq.
I hope Kristol vets some like-minded sleaze to run against Trump in the 2020 GOP primaries (or better yet, let Kristol run himself) for the pleasure of seeing him fall flat on his ridiculous joker-face yet another time.
Back during, and just after, the Reagan administration, there were a whole bunch of these who migrated away from the democrat party and into the GOP.
And the conservatives in the GOP have to deal with it.
There is more going on here than just open borders.
I’m not sure what it is yet but it goes way beyond borders or Soros.
Davos I think is the key and it crosses party lines.
Never anything Conservative about the Kristols. Billy's father openly identified with the chief butcher of the Bolshevik Revolution.
Open borders is just a way to dilute the population to eventually subsume the US to the UN.
Global governance is the end goal.
Liberal media outlets love "moderate" (i.e. liberal) Republican politicians and talking heads, because they provide cover "proving" liberal claims about authentic conservatives being too "extremists." That's why the media loved McCain so much - except when he stepped out of line and ran against Obama the Anointed.
“Bill Kristol -— Once a piece of sh*t .... always a piece of sh*t.”
Let us all take a tip from President Trump and change “sh*t” and other variants to “Schitt”.
There isn't much conservative about neoconservatives. Take away their bluff and bluster and you usually get someone ideologically aligned with Bill Clinton Democrats. In fact, Clinton was probably to the right of Kristol on some issues - for instance, unlike Kristol, the Clinton administration was willing to have illegal immigrants deported under their watch.
I have been fighting these Quislings since my Freshman year at Oberlin.
I used to respect Mona Charen but she hasn’t written anything worth reading in 20 years. She’s an old has-been.
Kristol has done more for liberals over the last 20 years than he’s ever done for conservatives.
And, by the way, it was Bill Kristol’s son-in-law’s Washington Beacon that got the Fusion GPS / Russia BS started. Everyone of those sorry #$#$%&^ #$^# can rot.
The pretense is over with. Bill Kristol has been outed as an Anti-American communist.
It’s really that simple. He can only get donations from other Anti-American communists.
War On An American Future, while not on the Kristols specifically, is generally relevant. But Neocon Phenomenon, is taken out of their own mouths.
Neoconservatives are an illustration of Gresham’s Law in the marketplace of ideas. Just as bad money drives out sound currency, so bad ideas succeeded in driving out the good in the GOP thanks to influence/manipulation by people like Kristol, Frum, Boot, etc.
