Poorly worded. Makes it seem like we’re getting 12 days of diesel from Russia for double what one day of diesel from Canada costs, which would make Donny’s deal pretty good.

It’s amazing how quickly this asshole will sell out allies, principles, and any sort of morality in a desperate attempt to maintain power. He’d burn down the country if he could keep all the ashes.

When you look up “aggressively stupid“ in the dictionary:
Senate dullards hold a poster above Senator Eric Schmitt who thinks he has caught Jack Smith in a lie, but all the poster shows is how aggressively stupid Schmitt is.

Absolute ghouls. Stealing money from programs designed to help poor children to fund your party’s hateful agendas.

Florida is a strange place. So now you have to hope a candidate who helped get Trump elected wins the general.

“With issues” is doing heavy lifting, particularly since the Algiers Accords were negotiated by the Carter Administration. Reagan’s most notable engagement with Iran is his illegal secret arms sales to Iran and equally illegal using the money to fund right wing terrorist groups in Central America.

Even my hometown paper (whose editor was pretty conservative) carried Doonesbury and less surprisingly Bloom County. I used to clip strips, too, but not on a regular basis.

Turley is absolutely horrible. For some reason (maybe because he’s in DC) he’s the go-to guy for NPR and other news outlets.

I honestly don’t know what that means. What exactly is “an activist professoriate“? One that analyzes power relations in society? Academia has always been “woke” and it always hasn’t. Or do you mean the performative administrations actions that are about the only legit criticisms in the piece?

Just a reminder that no one has actually seen or heard from Senator Mitch McConnell in months. If you have any journalists left, maybe you could assign someone to dig into that story.

Does anyone remember when the Post used to be brave enough to have a movie made about their reporting?
Movie poster for “All the President’s Men” with picture of stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in a newsroom. Tagline at top reads “The most devastating detective story of this century.” Movie credits are underneath.

You’d think the headline might include “while leaving the press corps and top aides to be used as bait.” Stop being gutless.

I have nothing against style section features, but is your newsroom aware that a) Trump has had hundreds of his bank accounts closed for suspected money laundering and b) his administration is now relaxing banking rules meant to combat money laundering? Pretty amazing coincidence.

How about “Exclusive: Trump uses press corp as human shields”? Stop covering for this walking sack of excrement.

Great thread going through many of the problems with this hit piece in the Atlantic by Tyler Austin Harper (who has made something of a career writing pieces that as an academic he would most likely not give passing grades to).

“Appear”? Get some guts. Neither of these are true or better yet, both claims are lies.

Terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel could work. Maybe the Sabra and Shatilla massacres. You don’t get to pick and choose like that.

I remember that within my lifetime if a politician — let’s say a president — had a few hundred bank accounts closed for money laundering it might be an issue the press corp would investigate and report on a bit.

Wright’s comments were directly in line with the American Jeremiad tradition. I still can’t believe that became an issue.

Spelling bee is not happy with me.
Spelling bee game with center hex “y” surrounded by six hexes containing “h,o,a,r,k, and y.” At top the game reports the selected word is not in the word list. The word the user was trying to submit is “ofay.”

She would have been 16 at the time. Just as a point of information.
