I hope this worthless piece of shit dies soon but I hope it is a slow painful, pathetic death not a merciful quick passing from the shithole this fascist will leave behind in his wake.
“And while the District seems tired, Trump seems more so,” Karem wrote. “It doesn’t even seem like the president is trying his hardest to lie to us anymore. He just repeats the same lies with less energy, as if he too has grown weary of his own rhetoric. He’s telling us to turn the page on the Epstein scandal. But he’s on that next page too.”
Could he be seeing Trump less because he is no longer a White House Insider?
All bullshit until I see that flag burning and covered in shit at half-staff.
It’s too late. The damage is irreversible.
True, but when assholes die the world becomes less shitty.

Let’s he coraks soon. Any day longer with that orange fuck is too much for this planet.
This isn’t exactly a high caliber news organization.
are there any of those left?
The Atlantic does well. And remember, 2 reporters from there are the only reason we had daily, nationwide numbers on COVID when it hit. (The Reveal podcast has a 3 part series detailing those events.)
Pro publica. The PBS offerings by state. Frontline. Reveal.
There’s still something to be said for local news. Pull up hoa news on YT, as one example, you will get a wall of detailed, local news hoa stories.
are you talking about raw story? OP changed the link to the original salon piece
Raw Story, yes.
🤞
I mean, there’s nothing new here other than the city of DC is “hollow” and “low energy”. Trump’s lack of zest for his usual demented ramblings is just what happens when a snake eats an elephant. They just sit there for a long time.
You mean that?
How long can they pump the bellows on this over-inflated bag of shit before he pops?
He can take a LOT of pumping, I suspect.
Oh great now we’re at the Kim Jong Il stage of his reign.
is he gonna point at stuff
he already does?
Some context for others here, Kim Il Sung is dead but is still technically the North Korean supreme head of state. He is the “Eternal President” with his successors deriving their notional authority to rule directly from him, but apparently officially deferring to his corpse should the question of precedence come up.
In case anyone was wondering, Kim Kong Il holds (not held) the slightly less exalted titles of “Eternal General Secretary” (of the worker’s party) and “Eternal Chairman” (of the national defense commission). Even though he is quite definitively also dead.
And while we’re at it, Francisco Franco is also still dead.
I was comparing with Kim jong-il because he was always very ill and they hid that especially towards the end.
Ah, yes. Same deal with Francisco Franco in Spain.
Presumably once Trump finally croaks he will not remain supreme leader. One can hope, anyway.
Given this entire Raw Story article is basically “and here’s what Karem said”: here’s what Karem said in the original Salon article.
Thank you that is a better link! I just switched the url to salon for this post because you are right there is no point reading the article I posted in comparison.
What the fuck does **ex-**White House insider mean? Do you, by any chance, mean Guy Who Knows Fuck-All About the Current Ongoings in the White House?
Could mean that.
It could also mean someone that used to work there, no longer do, but still has friends there that tell them about the ongoing shit show.
I still talk to old coworkers and get updates about the crap going on at places I used to work. In a place like D.C. where maintaining networking and unofficial communication channels are the way a lot of things get done, this isn’t a stretch at all.
don’t tease us like that
The sooner he dies, the better
