Thing is, the MAGAs are immature bullies who can insult others all day but get their stained shorts in bunch if anyone criticizes them or looks at them askance. It’s “fuck your feelings” but my feelings are utmost.
Apropos the final item in Morning Memo (which I think David handles wonderfully): I do not give one flying bystander’s fuck about that fucking inbred aristocratic drone with three decades of stupid fucking decadent haircuts. Jesus Fucking Christ.

After the recent WAPO debacle, you’d think the WH Press Corps would learn that context and good faith interpretation is important. But no. They are beyond hope. Creatures stuck in a La Brea Tar Pits of their own twaddle.
The thing that haunts Musk, and most billionaires like him, is that it’s not enough to be richer than the dreams of avarice; it’s that others must be poor and downtrodden.
