“Bezos said, … ‘You’ve probably grown in the last eight years. He has, too.’ Trump, he continued, ‘is calmer than he was the first time and more confident, more settled.’ This wasn’t the triumph of hope over experience; it was the elevation of willful self-delusion over all available evidence.”

“Here is the unavoidable truth: the Washington Post I joined, the one I came to love, is not the Washington Post I left.” @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes about her decision to resign from the paper in the wake of editorial changes made by its owner, Jeff Bezos.

He's dispensed with the facade and the Kabuki dance mainstream Republicans used to engage in to camouflage their true intentions.
Now, they don't care that we know. In fact, they love it. It thrills them.
They're feeding off our pain.
It was also an undeniable desire for massive tax cuts
If anything, Donny2Scoops is far worse.
Bummer since many have used it to self publish books. Little guy getting screwed.
it is more so to lose duty and honor
so far removed that countries mean little to him
they are but playthings to see how his will can be implemented
I will be joining the crimson permanent assurance organization

Hes still out of his depth, just now he has confidence in his abilities to guide policy.
He couldn’t have said this it would be simply insane.
Either Bezos is completely stupid or he thinks we are stupid.
Trump is more unconscious and dangerous than he was, it is not confidence it is dementia.
These two are his ridiculous monstrosities...
He’s more of a lunatic, with far, far more destructive tendencies, and is hell bent on revenge. He is surrounded by dangerous, unfit, unintelligent, incapable grifters.
No one decent’s friend.
Just imagine.
This is about personal greed and desire to enable corruption of the government.
Bezos is not a dumb man - he knew who he was supporting - and did so for his own benefit.
Bro didn't just kiss the ring he almost gagged on it.
No redeeming social value.
A GOP Oligarch.
And more than likely elon manipulate the election and no one cared.
They were afraid to sound like him in 2020. They fell for his bait.
i'm so old, the first time i heard a teenager try to talk like that (the way a teenager thinks an adult talks)) it was eddie haskell on *Leave it to Beaver* — all these techbro dickheads talk & post like that.
I have seen it happen at The New York Times already.
I used the term governing loosely.
Just imagine if he does though. 😊
He’s not going to wake up one morning and be appalled by what he’s doing.
Sorry for confusion
Naturally the fucker can afford the best healthcare, but there’s only so long they can keep him alive when he lives on junk food and refuses to exercise. Vance is no better, but that coward doesn’t have DT’s particular brain damage.
Growth is antithetical to his interests.
I don’t believe Bezos is stupid enough to believe any of that.
I DO believe he’s a sniveling coward with the backbone of a jellyfish.
So much for having “F-U Money,” when you still have to bow & scrape to the orange disaster.
Because it really seems like he wants us to think he's stupid. I can see no other explanation for him making a statement this patently delusional.
It's time for a revolution.
Time to start with the billionaires.
The fact that there are billionaires in this world is proof that we have failed as a species.
How did Bezos become bozo the sicifan clown?
I'm just wondering if he's scraping his chapped knees.
God how disgusting
What does Jeff need? A plate of ketchup thrown at his egg shaped gourd to change his mind?
Nicer for those around him, I guess.
Doesn't help the rest of us.
don;t care about the people who stayed
they are nazi lite
