I didn’t expect The Washington Post to effectively back the January 6th Putsch, but here we are.

THE POST (2017) was an exceptionally strange film, hagiography that felt both unwarranted and 30 years too late.

It’s like when Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep anchored ENRON: INNOVATION DOMINATION (1994).

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Well, no - it would be like calling out Essex or Yorkshire while accounting for all of Britain.

Greenland is wide open?

Uncovered by a defense treaty?

70 day annexation focus tree then a rush and a push and the land is ours right, Axios?

How do you miss one of the principal issues in geopolitics?

Can add “offered remarks on the 2018 National Defense Strategy to an academic conference in Houston, Texas” to my “what even is a career, anyway?” list.

You’re never going to guess how I earned this reply. Nope.

Ten thousand monkeys querying ten thousand ChatGPT instances couldn’t create it.

It’s pure BlueSky magic.

He actually better on Ukraine and Gaza than I expected.

He’s doing well in Syria (this one doesn’t really matter),

all else is just as bad.

It’s me, the presiding spouse for a squadron catllion or something?

I’d rather be drinking grain alcohol near the dumpsters out back with the waitstaff.

Eric L. Robinson @uticaeric.bsky.social · 16h

“Battalion Commander’s spouse” is not a job nor a title, the concept deserves no independent respect or deference or accolade whatsoever. FRGs into the wood chipper.

That being said, you don’t just blow them off if they’re trying to give you a professional advantage.

It’s a bold move, cotton.
