Forgive me for getting petty delight out of this story. We must find our joy where we can. Now if one of them trips and breaks an ankle...
They lied about their shoe size and are now forced to wear floppy clown shoes around the president ahahahahahaha
The brain of a Hans Christian Anderson villain; the shoes of a man chased from the pond by a mob of villagers.

The high-profile exit left people inside and outside the network eager to understand the backstory. So what happened? Multiple people familiar with the matter told Status that MacFarlane had grown disillusioned with the overall direction of the network under the anti-woke warrior Weiss, who since being appointed by David Ellison in October has sought to put the venerable news outlet on better footing with Donald Trump and his administration. Specifically, MacFarlane was appalled and disheartened by the way the “CBS Evening News” marked the five-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. At CBS News, MacFarlane had spent years aggressively covering the attack on the U.S. Capitol. In fact, as recently as Monday morning, as he prepared to make his career announcement, he posted a video on YouTube calling out MAGA forces trying to “rewrite the history” of that day by disseminating “lies.” So when MacFarlane saw anchor Tony Dokoupil mark the anniversary with only a 16-second report that embraced a both sides approach to the act of violence carried out by Trump supporters on that day, he was aghast. It’s not clear whether MacFarlane made his disapproval known to Dokoupil or network leadership, but he did communicate it to some colleagues, and it became known inside the network.
Sounds like that infamous 'both sides of Jan6th' news clip was the tipping point for CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarland. He's the latest journalist to flee Bari Weiss' Trump-friendly operation.

ah silly me I did not realize we were just on a little excursion
a carefree frolic, if you will. a weekend trip upstate to visit some wineries. things of this nature.
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
If this guy wants to sniff a seat in Congress again ... he needs to not just leave the Republican Party ... he needs to stop caucusing with MAGA enablers in Mike Johnson's caucus.
Just leaving the Republican Party isn't enough.

Between him and the pandemic, I can understand how my 50's didn't exist and therefore don't feel this old.
The opening scene of my 2004 article 'Blind Into Baghdad' is an interview with Feith, at the Pentagon, on why it didn't make sense to plan for "the day after" in Iraq.
20+ years later, applying same 'logic' to Iran

I am so very sorry.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

As a parent, keeping certain comments to myself rn
Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.

They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
I haven't cried since I visited the Renee Good memorial in Minneapolis. This piece made me sob. How are we letting this happen? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Trump and Hegseth revel in this.
The first 13 seconds of this are indistinguishable from a Vic Berger edit
