  1. >The Washington Post’s editorial board made the mindboggling decision Monday to say they support all but four of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees, and their rationales were as unconvincing as they were brief.

    >“We would not have picked any of his choices for our hypothetical Cabinet. But, as we have argued for decades, that is not the standard we—or U.S. senators—should apply when evaluating potential executive nominees for Senate confirmation,” the paper’s editorial board wrote the day before Senate confirmation hearings were set to begin.

    >So, who exactly does the Post think shouldn’t make it? Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and failed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Democrat turned MAGA acolyte and possible Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, and Project 2025 contributor Russell Vought.

  2. All the more reason for people to cancel their subscription. Free press isn’t free if their reporting is controlled by an oligarch that doesn’t want to anger another oligarch or despot.

    One may argue how the Washington Post is any different from Russia Today?

  4. This is scary!

    Soon all mainstream medias will praise trump. Social media is already under his control. Every single point where we get our information will inform us that Trump is great and doing well. The Democrats resisting him will appear to be out of touch with reality and sent into the dustbin of history and the brainwash will be complete.

  5. How long before giant billboards are everywhere with an idolized picture of Trump on them?

  6. Why is everybody treating this moron like he’s a fucking Emperor?

  7. Because we know that those that don’t support him were fired by Bezos.

  8. “So, who exactly does the Post think shouldn’t make it? Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and failed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Democrat turned MAGA acolyte and possible Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, and Project 2025 contributor Russell Vought. ”

    So only the ones that have attracted significant public attention.

    The Washington Post doesn’t have any issues with Trump’s policy… but they don’t like how it is being marketed.

  9. Actually, if those four (+Patel) were the ones that didn’t make it through it would be a win

  10. So they won’t endorse a presidential candidate but the’ll talk about his cabinet?

  11. From the newspaper that saved our democracy from being further damaged by Nixon

  13. Lol. It says Pam Bondi passes because her colleagues say she’s serious. My mother can also be pretty serious and the guy yelling for change near the offramp is too, but I don’t think that’d qualify either of them for a cabinet position. Even though my mother is tremendous, would probably provide solid input on TV shows and make a bitching weeknight dinner by just tossing some things together

  15. Everyone is caving to Trump, why? He hasn’t changed but what is going on?

  16. Gross. Glad I cancelled my subscription back when he won the first time. I got tired of them “humoring” far right “opinion” articles.

  17. Welcome to the New America of the Oligarchs. The rich won. They wanted to divide us up and take everything while we fight about trans kids and culture war bullshit.

    Hear me when I tell you, THEY WILL NOT LET GO NOW THAT THEY HAVE CONTROL.

  19. I walked away from WaPo after the election. Covering up and sane washing worked. That’s not journalism. Yes, democracy does die in darkness.

  20. I did not renew subscriptions to NY Times nor WAPO. Im considering funding the Guardian. I read today they will not capitulate to trump.

  21. Oh wow, the paper ran by a billionaire supports the guy that will let them rape their employees and slash their taxes? Crazy.

  22. The owner of The Washington Post is Nash Holdings, which is controlled by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. He purchased the newspaper in 2013 for $250 million.

  24. So the Post has decided to go dark. And let democracy die. Bastards.

  26. Just canceled my subscription. Along with my Amazon Prime last month. Because I am not feeding Jeff Bezos insatiable appetite for control any longer.

  27. I mean, it’s already clear that we are merely getting the self-interested talking points of Jeff Bezos. WaPo opinion is essentially worthless.

  28. Why are we still assigning any value to the Washington post? This tool of oligarchy has no good use left. Every single person that works there does their part to further enable Jeff Bezos personally enriching political agenda. Cancel your subscription, stop linking stories to it, encourage people to quit. The Washington post has been dead, it’s up to us to burry this pet project of another problem billionaire.

  31. Who reads this rag anymore? It’s days of grandeur are over.

    So sad to say bc growing up it was THE paper.

  32. If felons can be president now, I know someone else who shot someone in broad daylight and wouldn’t lose any votes. Maybe we should get him on the ballot.

  33. Stop using amazon, folks. Like for real…it’s important

  34. The same board that blocked the Harris endorsement? Color me shocked.

  35. We are entering state owned media, the number of articles against Trump will dwindle

  36. Damn it! I already cancelled my subscription and I so want to cancel it again!

  37. Oligarchs are fully exposed. The peoples true enemies are fully identified. Dem politicians need to side with us or expect no support. I have been an active Dem since 72. I will not support Dems that are progressive and don’t support the fight against oligarchs and corporations.

  38. I‘ll give Trump this: his era has stripped away any facade of the American “system” being anything but a giant fucking pedestal for the wealthy. He’s pushed it so goddamn hard that if someone barn stormed the Dem primaries by saying “I‘m going to take it to the wealthy like a 1988 Mike Tyson fight” then I’d vote for them with bells on. 

  39. Democracy dies in darkness; turn off the lights on your way out.
