Republicans have no cognitive dissonance reflex.

That said, I wouldn’t count him out. It’s entirely possible he could be a kingmaker for another media outlet, or even create one from whole cloth. How much of his fanbase both cares about the accused behavior and is unsatisfied by his claims of innocence? He wasn’t let go for that behavior, he was let go for adding…

It’s also a source of tax revenue.

Maybe I’m the only one articulating it this way, but when something fails the sniff test this spectacularly the scientific mitigation of that stench should be preemptive and highlighted.

You have anger issues.

I kept my last one for almost 9. I tell myself I’ll keep this one forever, but I couldn’t daily-drive it forever. Eventually the wear and tear on the car starts to wear on me. Making it an occasional car would mean paying to park it somewhere and getting another daily driver, and I don’t know if I have that much…
