Republicans have handed the Pentagon to an unqualified, blackmail-able hack with a drinking problem. They're handing national security over to a compromised crank, and the CDC and NIH to a conspiratorial nut. There is only one principal in this party now -- complete fealty to a sundowning narcicist.
Dark Horse has reportedly laid off more than a dozen staffers, as troubles at their parent company may have caught up with them.
WaPo using the blandest language they found stuck to their newsroom's gray carpet to describe a dictatorship.
