American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Indeed. It’s worth noting also that Bezos’s post-election behavior confirms that his claim about his refusal to allow the Post to endorse—that it was an apolitical act intended to preserve the paper’s reputation for objectivity—was precisely the brazen, ludicrous lie we thought it was then.
“Bezos has now created a situation in which essentially everything published on the opinion pages of the Post will be seen as broadly representative of his personal views. I can’t imagine why any proprietor would want to leave that impression. Did Bezos really think this through?”

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

GOP, remember when Biden gave George Soros control over the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds & federal contracts—then used it to cut off anyone he didn’t like?
Me neither, because that never happened. But it’s what Trump & Elon Musk are doing now w/out congressional approval.
