Tomorrow's The Day! After the National Guard has Quashed tRump's 2nd attempt at a coup d’etat - insurrection, Hopefully He will be finally and completely SHUT UP and fade into the darkness of America's History. Else, America Is Completely and Finally Screwed! Parden My French. Vote Blue. Save America!
Bezos’ excuses are completely disingenuous and one of the few ways subscribers can make their voices heard quickly and in sufficient numbers to be meaningful is by unsubscribing. However, we can both make our voices heard and support the staff of the WaPo by resubscribing once that vote has been cast.
" Bezos’s refusal to allow The Washington Post to endorse Harris and Musk’s weaponizing X for Trump can be seen as moves in a proxy war for dominance in government contracting of spaceflight"
"On November 5 we will find out just how strong we are. We will each choose on which side of the historical ledger to record our names. On the one hand, we can stand with those throughout our history who maintained that some people were better than others and had the right to rule; on the other, we can list our names on the side of those from our past who defended democracy and, by doing so, guarantee that American democracy reaches into the future".
Hopefully, it has been determined WHO IS PRESIDENT Before January 2025!!
If tRump loses by "the Numbers", will his "Supreme Court" abide by the result of the voters OR Will "They" concede to Donald's Law Suits and Declare HIM TO BE PRESIDENT?
Since there appears to be No Law Any More, with regards to tRump, How Long will this BS drag out? If tRump actually Does Legally WIN, then We Know that We All Are FUCKED, without any further Adu... Best Regards.
May America Survive this most recent attempt to Destroy Her!
I'm relieved to see, Dan, that I'm not the only one replying to your column about WaPo and Jeff Bezos clearly having gotten it wrong. You were eloquent--as usual, and then some! Thank you a million times over for your experienced and knowledgeable POV.
While 250,000 subscribers now gone is nothing to sneeze at, I agree the columnists and reporters at WaPo cannot be sacrificed because Jeff Bezos is a spineless coward who apparently wasn't strong enough to tell facts instead of fiction. The world is full of brainless twits who can't tell the truth lest those they fear will crush them. If money was the whole reason, Bezos still wouldn't have that as an excuse: As I recall, he's wealthier than Musk or Zuckerberg or any other wannabe despot, *including* Blimpo who obviously caused this mess. Jeff Bezos has stooped low before. He's reached the lowest of those depths now.
Sunday 11/2024: In going along with some of the other comments, I feel like "They" must have felt at the "Trinity Test Site", just before the, ultimately successful detonation of the First Atomic Bomb!
We will learn much in 2 days.
"IT" could Just Blow Up the Whole Atmosphere, In America?!!
May Our "Grand Old Flag" Continue To Always Wave In Freedom & Democracy.
Thanks, Dan, well said. The behavior of Bezos is wrong but sadly not shocking. It is yet another incidence of money and power destroying moral compass.
I voted early for Kamala Harris. Her work ethics and qualifications prepared her for the job of president. Unfortunately many of our citizens do not seem truly prepared and/or committed to uphold their agency to defend our country from an insurrectionist and other corrupt congressional fascist leaning politicians. I am hoping and praying that madam vice-president will become president on November 5th. I believe it would be the begining of pulling up back from the edge of the cliff.
And Yet, Unbelievably, people still support this Traitorous Monster and will vote for him and his Criminal Regime. Yes, The Women that he subverts and belittles, the Black People and Hispanics and all the others that he, along with his tRump-publican sick supporters and EVEN Members of Our Military! Past and Present. go along with. Many Americans are Very Mentally Sick Today. You Can't Fix Stupid, BUT You CAN Vote For It, and then pay the surprising and unacceptable price for doing so. We Will Soon Know.
That made him wealthy.

Interesting side by side of Bezos & Musk.
For a start, the race to space is littered with Govt contracts

T-rump has to threaten people to get their support! I can’t wait to see him go to prison!
