When is the WH press corp going to do its job and point out that unelected Discount Goebbels and Russ "layoffs give me wood" Vought are running the country--like the two pint sized dictators they are.
instead..NYT has 19 stories a day, circle jerking over how every single thing will play for Trump

not gonna happen..instead...Sunday shows will "interview" Maga Mike Johnson and MarkWayneMcBillyBob "inherited my father's company" Mullins.
and then, after they gaslight..reply...thanks, we're going to have to leave it there.

Your "basic read" suggests you are as much a maga hack as Marc Caputo.

who is jay jones?
Btw...did you know that the government in power is shooting reverends with pepper balls, zip tying children, referring to all Dems as evil terrorists and implementing military rule.

Weiss writes at the level of a fifth grader and has no grasp at all about the purpose of punctuation in a written document.

Pretty stunning that the head of a major news organization writes at the level of a fifth grader and does not grasp basic rules of grammar.

This sounds exactly the same as what Musk and his Xitler Youth bunch of DOGE boys, demanded of federal employees.

Bari Weiss is looking for people to purge. And she's not even clever about it.

NYT: we have to give a hand job to one of our favorite "secret sources"---btw..Kushner family goes way back with Netanyahu as close friends...and Jared, failed NYC real estate guy has made his money by doing deals with Saudis in exchange for state secrets.

Case has been assigned to Judge Jamar Walker---who grew up in a tiny town in eastern Virginia--to become one of the youngest judges appointed--very qualified. BTW..when Trump world goes full racist/homophobic--grassley and graham voted to confirm Walker

Biden appointee.
Halligan will likely ask him to recuse, because he is Black, openly gay, a former prosecutor in EDVA and very qualified....(Grassley and Graham were 2 of 4 GOP Senators to vote yes on his nom)

REAKING? Yes.....these charges do reek of corruption.

BTW..Letitia James is not a "foe" of Trump. She is the AG of NY.
If Trump did not commit civil offences, she would not have had to take him to court. stop washing the orange man's droopy ballz
