Shortened title.

Full title: Former Weekly Standard staffers find new home at The Bulwark, a conservative site unafraid to take on Trump

A handful of writers and editors who worked at The Weekly Standard, the now-defunct conservative magazine that was deeply critical of President Donald Trump until its sudden demise in December, have a new home.

Starting Monday, Bill Kristol, a co-founder of The Weekly Standard, and Charlie Sykes, the former talk radio host and conservative commentator, will beef up The Bulwark, a conservative website that has until now served as an aggregator for Kristol's non-profit group, the Defending Democracy Together Institute.

The weekly Standard was unafraid to take on Trump too.

On what specific issues did they take Trump on?

I’ve never heard of a single one of them.
Must be the NeverTrump B Team

When I wade into the NeverTrumper sewer I expect to see Ben Shapiro, Hugh Hewitt, Jonah Goldberg, Joe & Mika, not the spitwad crew from the back row.

Conservative doesn’t align with taking on Trump.

How long before The Bulwark goes out of business too? Where will Kristol go from there?

So, having bombed at the Weekly Standard they will what? Suddenly find that their same old message in a new hula skirt is a winner? I know, why not grab Kasich and give Romney a weekly blog just to put the cherry on top of this winner.

According to Julie Kelly of American Greatness, the sugar daddy funding much of Kristol’s NeverTrumper activities is left-wing billionaire Pierre Omidyar, the co-founder of eBay.

Not conservative if they are against Trump. They are nothing more than GOPe cucks.

“the sugar daddy funding much of Kristol’s NeverTrumper activities is left-wing billionaire Pierre Omidyar, the co-founder of eBay.”

He is an Iranian and a supporter of terrorists.

He also hates America.

He is paying Kristol and his group of fake conservatives to attack President Trump.

Quintessential example of that definition for ‘insanity’:

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

“Kristol is beginning to resemble an Ahab.”

Kristol could never be a sea captain commanding a ship.

Kristol is a traitor who is available to be bought and sold who will say whatever he is told to say.

Kristol and that entire never Trump group have no principles. They are selling out their country.

Kristol gets cast out for being a POS - so he becomes even a bigger POS. What a total failure - him and his rattletrap establishment monkeys.

So done. They should do their country a favor and just hang themselves already.
