    Tim Pool is…

    Imagine the whiny emo guy from high school, who is actually just a duplicitous, self centered, sexist asshole, who drops out and then gets his GED later, when his plan to make it big as a pro skater didn’t work out.

    That’s basically Tim Pool.

    An insufferable moron who needs to feel important, but who is also too incompetent for his manipulative nature to generally work on anyone with an IQ over ~95.

    Oh right yeah, he was also literally a paid Russian propoganda/intelligence asset, unwittingly.

    He was too stupid to realize the money was coming from Russia, because he did no due diligence.

    So I guess add ‘craven grifter’ into the descriptor pile.

    There ya go, this Tim Pool in under 90 seconds.

    Sadly, Tim Pool is, in the US, a pretty well known … political pundit/podcast bro.

      too stupid to realize the money was coming from Russia

      and/or too greedy to care. To any reputable independent media outlet, it may raise an eyebrow if some unknown funding source reached out and said “we’ll give you $10 million to basically keep doing exactly what you’re already doing. Ukraine bad, Russia good, etc. etc.” but for Tim he obviously didn’t give a shit when the check cleared. Pathetic that his exact brand is “you can’t trust any other media source but me! They’re all bought and paid for!”

      Timbah.On.Toast is an excellent YouTube channel that has some very thorough breakdowns of some prominent grifters. Dave Rubin, James O’Keefe, Russell Brand, and a multi-part series on Tim Pool which starts right here: https://youtu.be/TRfbczIaR7E

      Highly recommended if you’re into that sort of thing.

        I’m pretty sure I have seen that Timbah Toast video, and basically yep yep yep! Would reccomend it to others, kind of a guide to the grifting scum that sadly constitute ‘political discourse’ in the US these days.
