I seriously hope that CBS News employees are lining up to resign in protest. I never jumped on the “MSM is evil” bandwagon, but I guess I was wrong.

When I worked at Honeywell’s division providing control systems and field instruments to oil refineries, leaks were referred to as “fugitive emissions.”

If she wants to catch flakes, she should be in DC, not RI. Ba-da-bing! Drive carefully, and be sure to tip your server!

So glad to see that the GOP isn’t wasting any time in conjuring up the chaos. In the words of Kimberly Whatshername, “The best is yet to come.”

Look, why don’t we just put a picture of P.T. Barnum on the $5 bill, change the national motto to “There’s a sucker born every minute,” and be done with it.

And by the way, today’s edition of The NYT Daily is worth a listen as well. Vivek and Elonia have wildly inflated views of what they’ll be able to accomplish.

I did. Maybe I wasn’t being clear. You make good points, but on the whole, I think it was perfectly fine for Biden to pardon his son. Yes, I know that it’s ceding the high ground, but I feel like Biden is owed. I’m not concerned that the flying monkeys will throw shit. Monkeys gonna monkey.

Sure, the MAGA flying monkeys will try to equate the Biden pardon with those that Trump is aching to let fly. But if the pardon hadn't taken place, they'd find some other nonsense to make the indefensible false equivalencies. Given the climate in this country, I'm okay with a little fighting dirty.

Good! It’s a well-deserved “fuck you” to Trump, his nepotism and spectacular corruption.
