https://archive.ph/m0FNA

It was less than a month since Donald Trump pumped his fist after an assassination attempt, and Adin Ross had an appointment at Mar-a-Lago. The 23-year-old streamer arrived for his August interview with gifts: a Tesla Cybertruck decorated with the new and bloody signature photograph of the campaign, and a $300,000 Rolex watch. A live online audience peaking at around 500,000 watched Rosss feed as the Republican nominee mused for an hour-plus on the importance of cryptocurrency, the greatness of UFC CEO Dana White, and the unfairness of Atlanta rapper Young Thugs racketeering case.
The conversation, in its meandering yet recognizable path, offered a sketch of the unwieldy brand of modern masculinity that has increasingly shaped the final stretch of the presidential election. In these corners, organized around a loose network of online personalities in which Ross looms large, the subject matter mixes freelysports, music, sex, moneyand rarely amounts to an explicit politics, though Trump is the clear candidate of choice. Sitting in the back of the room while Ross and Trump spoke was the sort of young man, with his hair slicked back and a thin gold chain around his neck, whom the event might be aimed at, and the one who was later creditedby his motherwith orchestrating it.
Bo Loudon is the 18-year-old son of a conservative media personality, Gina, and a former Missouri state senator, John, who are both Mar-a-Lago members. The younger Loudon, who has called Trumps own 18-year-old son, Barron, his best friend, has garnered rising online visibility in recent months as the former president has aimed his campaign at young men and taken it to their preferred platforms.
Barron, who lacks public-facing social media accounts, has become something of a cipher to his online demographic. Loudon, positioned so closely to the former first kid, talks, and he does so often, to his quarter of a million followers. He operates in a narrow vein of influence, but one that runs all the way to the top. He has described Ross as his good friend and a legendary streamer, and he has labeled himself Trumps young gun. After the Ross interview, the Loudons, the Trumps, and Ross gathered for a photo, and a few weeks later, as Bo explained his interest in politics to Gina on her Real Americas Voice show, she described the stream as his brainchild, if Im not mistaken.

I remember when Melon Fucking Husk himself tweeted out on multiple occasions that the only reason why all the black celebrities were backing Kamala Harris was because they were all on the "Diddy tapes" and she was going to pardon them 😒

I give up, and quite honestly don't give a shit. He's not worth any more of my time.
Farewell Snoop. Go kiss the ring, and his huge ass.
