The good Doctorโ€™s work is far too intellectually advanced for this guy.

Seth, whatโ€™ll it take to get her disbarred?

Hey, happy belated birthday fellow Aquarian!

The Post was doomed from the minute he came onboard. Was anything in that memo to staff true?

Keep breathing guys. First weโ€™ve got to make sure heโ€™s Senator Again โ€˜26.

Ah for an edit button: clearly a post concerned about concerns.

04.02.2026 23:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Because he was a lot more concerned for his government contracts and concerns over admin. interventions in his other businesses, which are massively more lucrative than the Post. These concerns are clearly more important to him than keeping the lights on for democracy.

In the wake of the new WaPo layoffs, my partner inquired as to whether they were still alive. I said they were, but wondered what they were going to be able to cover. Her reply: โ€œTrumpโ€™s ass.โ€

There must be an unfathomably large black hole where oneโ€™s soul should be to require so much lucre to try and fill it.

And itโ€™s being run out of the eviscerated Civil Rights Division.

Is there anyone in this administration who is not an asshole?

What Civil Rights Division? The Trump administration has all but completely dismantled it.

We know that Trump isnโ€™t a reader, and certainly not of history, but we know from his late, ex-wife that he kept writings of Hitler at his bedside.

What about someone who lies, cheats and steals from Queens?

โ€œBackfilledโ€ is an apt description of what passes for Trumpโ€™s intellectual methodology.

The entire cosmos could not fill the black hole at the center of his soul.

The actorโ€™s nightmare. Thereโ€™s a one-act of that title by the late playwright Christopher Durang.

To call Trump a PoS is really unfair to Pieces oS.

Yup. And the Donald ainโ€™t no Arthur Fonzarelli.

We need to stop being surprised and dismayed at what CBS has become, we simply need to write them off. They are no longer worthy of trust.

This isnโ€™t an administration, itโ€™s a vaudeville act.
