@PostOpinions @jawillick So Justin supports the slush fund, but knows he can't actually say that. Instead, he presents Trump as some sort of mastermind that has found his way around all sorts of rules. Sure.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@PostOpinions Jeff hates unions. We know that. The whole planet knows that. If his rocket hadn't just blown up, the entire universe would know that.

Maybe find something new to write about? (not Mamdani)

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@PostOpinions @marcthiessen It would be really nice if we could comment on the article on WaPo's website itself.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@PostOpinions Any reason why Thiessen's piece once again doesn't allow comments? If he can write it, he can listen to how asinine it is.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@marcthiessen Didn't you write in @PostOpinions that it would be 14 days for Trump to do X? And then 14 days to do Y? And then 14 day to Z? X, Y, and Z have not been done. Exactly how many days does it take, Marc?

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@PostOpinions Funny how you don't advertise this one you wrote, EB: https://t.co/grJJYl5WAw

Thanks for reminding us that, essentially, we should be thankful to billionaires for allowing us to breathe the same oxygen that they do.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@marcthiessen Why stop there? I would endorse giving Texas back to Mexico.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@marcthiessen So St. Martin's has signed a deal with you. What a sad day for a once-great publisher.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@marcthiessen @PostOpinions Marc, the only worthy thing about your columns are the comments on WaPo pointing out what a lickspittle you are. Trump is not going to be inviting you to a position in the White House, so you might as well stop auditioning for it

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@KateAndrs @washingtonpost @asymmetricinfo @jawillick @DominicJPino @carinemhajjar @dmarusic @shadihamid @RameshPonnuru @jimgeraghty @DrTedJ @KateAndrs, @carinemhajjar, and @dmarusic (accidentally?) unmasked themselves as members of @washingtonpost's anonymous and subscriber-hemorrhaging editorial board.

They don't read comments on their editorials, so what an opportunity to let them know thoughts on their socials!

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@PostOpinions So Virginia Democrats shouldn't try to nationalize the election----immediate pivot to your new obsession with Mamdani. Why is your editorial board so focused on this man? You're suffering from Mamdani Derangement Syndrome.

Longtime (and soon not to be) subscriber here.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@travisakers @HouseDemocrats And why did we need to know or care about your support either way?

[James A. White @jwhit107]

Really, @allTheYud? According to "If Anyone Builds It...", civilization didn't exist 1000 years ago? I agree that AI poses risks, but you might want to pick up a history book. Italian city-states, Golden Age of Islam, woodblock printing in China? I could keep going.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@SpeakerJohnson You also seem to REFUSE to swear in duly elected members of the House, so I won't put much stake into your self-vaunted ideals.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@SpeakerJohnson How long will it be before you swear in the new representative from AZ?

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@trussliz Oh, will you be quiet? No one liked you when you were in office. No one likes you now. You were relevant for a handful of days, and you're not relevant anymore.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@CALE_50 @EDSecMcMahon You mean experts in the field teaching other people in their field? Yeah, sounds scary. That's totally not what we do in the sciences, math, history, or any other discipline.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@marcthiessen And this would be why subscriptions continue to drop, Marcey. I'm fine with a conservative-oriented opinion page (Megan McArdle is conservative and sane, for example). You, however, have your head so far up Trump's arse that you have constant oxygen deprivation, and it shows.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@DakariusAshby @CrisAZelaya Pre-Luther Christians had all sorts of contraceptive methods. Now, their efficacy is highly questionable, but they were clearly trying to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

[James A. White @jwhit107]

@trussliz @Newsweek Considering you were PM for about 10 minutes, I don't think you're the best person to give advice about what's "governable" and what isn't.
