Bezos is NOT a newspaper guy — he’s a businessman. To him, the Washington Post is just a line-item on a spreadsheet. More importantly, Bezos is also a government contractor. He’s the founder of Blue Origin, the aerospace company behind those dick-shaped rockets.

Now, Bozo's no dummy, he saw the Space Nazi skippin’ like a dipshit & giving hundreds of millions to Donny, & a dim light bulb went off over his head. "Oh shit, this is going to affect my bottom line". So he phones up the Washington Post & tells them that’s it, there will be no endorsement of Kamala Harris. Sure enough, 20 minutes after the announcement was made, this happened:

"Ex POTUS Trump met with leaders from the Jeff Bezos-owned aerospace company Blue Origin following his speech in Austin, Texas.

The Republican had a short meeting with the aerospace company CEO David Limp & VP of government relations Megan Mitchell, according to The Associated Press."

Editor Robert Kagan, who quit his WaPo after the news broke that the WaPo wouldn’t be endorsing Kamala:

“Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do, & then met with the Blue Origin people, which tells us that there was an actual deal made, that Bezos communicated with Trump, & they set up this quid pro quo.”

Bezos’s non-endorsement of Kamala Harris is actually a ringing endorsement of fascism. Capitulating in advance to a bully because you’re afraid of something that might happen is literally how appeasement & fascism works. Bezos knows that Donny will blow a fucking gasket and seek retribution if the Post backs his opponent.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this Jeff, but no fucking way, bro. There is no placating someone who is a bottomless well of need & greed. Has giving your lunch money to the playground bully ever been the end of it? Of course not. You’ve proven yourself an easy mark, & he’s definitely coming back for more.

This was the WaPo in 2018:
