The Washington Post is doing catch-up on the scandal in its newsroom and boardroom, but this piece is a wowser. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/06/16/washington-post-editor-robert-winnett/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzE4NTEwNDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzE5ODkyNzk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MTg1MTA0MDAsImp0aSI6ImM3MTFjMDc4LWRkZDktNDI1My1iMjdlLTk2NGRjYjY1YWE0OSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9pbnZlc3RpZ2F0aW9ucy8yMDI0LzA2LzE2L3dhc2hpbmd0b24tcG9zdC1lZGl0b3Itcm9iZXJ0LXdpbm5ldHQvIn0.DDD4jH-fy-kVcuOwQgpkRM0T-cO17vfxEMsful9ttEw

What's increasingly obvious is that Jeff Bezos needs to clean house at the top -- to undo the terrible harm he's done by appointing an ethically challenged (putting it politely) former Murdoch apparatchik as CEO.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

What an historically ignorant post. Let’s break down a few things.

1) Jews are indigenous and native to the Levant. They have resides there continuously for 3000 years.

2) Most Jews were expelled from Judeah in 70. Not “left.” *Expelled* when the Romans…imperialists you may recall…destroyed the Second Jewish Temple, and took Jews as slaves to the Roman Empire. It’s right there on the Arch of Titus.

3) Hadrian then renamed Judeah as Syria Palestina, after two of the Jews historical enemies, the Assyrians and the Philistines. The Philistines being an Agean people that carry a name with the Hebrew root פלש meaning invader. Palestina and its subsequent name for the land, Palestine, is a name of imperialist conquest. As the Roman Empire fells, it became parts of various empires.

It’s critical to see yourself in literature, says Laurence Yep, award-winning author of "Dragonwings." "The popular American books about white children in the suburbs seemed as much fantasy to me as the Oz books." #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

There’s not a media conspiracy to portray antisemitism during protests where it doesn’t exist. These people are doing a very easily seen job of being antisemitic all on their own.

“Where’s Hunter?” they taunted for months.
Well, here he is, being held to the strictest legal standard by his father’s supposedly rigged Justice Department.
And here is his father, mustering all the dignity he can to respect the verdict and even promise not to pardon his son.

It could not be more obvious that one candidate in this race genuinely believes in upholding the rule of law,
while the other is a criminal who wishes to regain control of the government to run it like a mafia state

Republicans aren’t pro life, they sure as shit aren’t Christians, and they don’t give a single fu*k about gun laws because if they did, guns wouldn’t be the leading cause of death for children in America.

They’re a talibangelical cult of hypocritical gaslighting maniacs.

Justice Samuel Alito’s secretly recorded remarks come as many #conservatives have openly embraced the view that American #democracy must be grounded in a Christian worldview.

Cohen on Trump's rambling speeches wherein he whines about his own problems: I don't know what the hell he's talking about. It's just another example of how little he really knows about America, how little he actually cares about knowing about America. How about talking maybe about climate change since your supporters are dropping their like flies because of the heat? The fact that right now it's the hottest recorded month of June, I think ever. 1/2

There are other reasons related to liking Nazi shit and stuff like that, but I bet the major driver for this policy change is that ELoon is trying hard to monetize porn on his foul site so wants people to be able to not get outed over liking it.
