But I do look forward to her---like she did with Cuomo's daughter---commenting on Hunter Biden's choice of romantic partners.

No link because I will not enable self-harm.

      She took "Republican" out of her Twitter bio and wrote a WaPo column about it. She's desperate for acceptance from libs and judging by how that desperation continues online, I'm guessing that she isn't getting the acceptance IRL. So that's funny, at least. But yeah how the hell do any of those ghouls still have an audience.

      Speaking of, did y'all see that Slate has a podcast about the Iraq War now? Slow Burn, which is a decent name that they do not deserve. Apparently in the teaser/promo episode, they noted that they'll talk to people who still think the Iraq War was a good idea. WTF?! Why!? The only good reason to do that is so you can just endlessly dunk and debunk such people. I doubt Slate is up to that.

        wow, such bravery to give voice to what was still the mainstream GOP narrative as late as 2016

          And then Trump dunked on Jeb! and just like that, the Iraq War was bad per the GOP base. Which I think really tells us that many of those people knew that for a long time and just needed the right cover under which to admit it, and somehow Trump provided that.

    Opinion: This article proves Jennifer Rubin is not an adult.

    Just in case y'all have no idea who Jennifer Rubin is...

    Rubin, 54, was late to join the world of political punditry, having previously served as a Hollywood lawyer. She was hired by the Washington Post in 2010 after three years at the conservative magazine Commentary, and has been a lightning rod for criticism pretty much ever since.

    In 2011, she used her Twitter account to promote an incendiary blog post regarding the release of an Israeli soldier from Hamas captivity.... which called for a brutal death to be brought upon the soldier's captors and their offspring.

    Rubin still has deep admiration for Romney, but she disputes the suggestion by some critics that she was a Romney "shill."

    "I thought and still think that Romney was a dedicated, patriotic public servant and would have been a very good president," she said. "What I don't do, what I've never done and will never do is repeat lies, peddle in birther conspiracy theories, make up imaginary claims about other members of the media."

    She's a shill's shill, a real pro. Appropriate that she's functionally plagarized the old Obama hagiography to polish Biden's turds, after making her bones shitting all over Obama from the right.

      Also, for context, the Cuomo tweet: https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1252075513834848257
