TV journalists are pretty universally bad, but weekend morning TV journalists are next level terrible. I have seen the dumbest things come out of their mouths this morning. Every one terrified that someone in the White House might learn their name.
If you’re a journalist on TV right now, use your fucking eyes and ears and words. Don’t let people pretend a public execution didn’t happen.

This is the equivalent of the Christmas commercials where the spouse buys a $100k vehicle as a "gift". I'm sure the fiscal conservatives are just gonna love it.

With which order? The one to leave? Or the one to get out of her car?
People saying that she should have done XYZ and she wouldn’t have been m*urdered are pretending there’s something we can do to stay safe when these masked men are on the loose.

The bourbon industry is tanking and this is the reason McConnell snuck the recriminalization of weed into the appropriations bill.
It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.
