I am no fan of Newsom and this won’t make me one but I just appreciate anyone pointing out how absolutely ludicrous Trump is. I think we’ve all gotten too used to his batshittery and seeing another politician mirror it (and republicans and the media’s response to it) shows how weird it all is.

Carol Leonnig is that last shoe I was waiting to drop. Really the only one left who was a must read. The absolute gutting of talent is unreal. The paper is nothing without them and it’s unlikely that management/ownership doesn’t see that. It’s going to be like Newsweek — an empty name

Even more true now than it was a few years ago. “The reality is that the people with the most money have devised, at every turn, new and more bulletproof ways for them to make and keep more money, and for the people who make things to make less. This is the eternal story of labor and management…”

The democrats who believe sanity will eventually return to republicans in congress are as big a problem as the republicans themselves and are the main reason democrats approval ratings are so low. They just look old and delusional.
