There are a lot of grifters out there, a lot of whom are quite good at it and make a lot of money telling billionaires and the right wing mob exactly what they want to hear.
But there aren't many that can get Ezra Klein to give them a posthumous blowjob in the Times.

The United States is not safe for anyone. The evil and cruelty never end.
