If @karolineleavitt, or any PR person from anywhere, called me a left-wing hack and went off on me after asking a legit question, I’d tell she’s a disgrace to her job and to go to hell. This WH press corps is gutless. They don’t even stand up for one another. Some free press, no.

Cashed out some crypto profits and grabbed a new car. Today my coach and I ran a trade and cleared just over $40K in about three hours. Big thanks to @TennesseeTracy it’s definitely been paying off.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

First big purchase of the year and I couldn’t ask for a better start. Been grinding in crypto and it’s finally paying off just picked up a brand-new Cadillac Escalade. Big thanks to @TennesseeTracy for the guidance..

@CharlesPPierce I mean, when I went to Athens in 2004, we had Sally, Wilbon, Barry Svrluga, editor Tracee Hamilton, Olympics main reporter Amy Shipley, Liz Clarke, a Style guy and at least one or two photogs. Same with London in 2012 and Sochi in 2014. Frickin’ crime against the business.

Holy shit. The Washington Post is not sending a single reporter to the Winter Games. That sports section is where I found my voice, where I covered 4
Olympic Games — 2 of them the Winter Olympics.
My colleagues were some of the best and brightest in all of journalism. Jesus.

I don’t know where @AnitaMarks got this stat but I love it: The Rams have flown 13,500 miles this year for games as opposed to just 6,000 air miles for the Seahawks. Jet lag the past five months will do the Rams in. Book it. 😛

@MeghanMcCain I keep thinking: how could Meghan watch this program growing up and not for one second take the lessons of kindness and compassion and human decency from it? I really want to know.

@IvanRaiklin @Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP You’re so damn gutless, Ivan. Funny thing is, if deadly force were employed by Fanone and others like the coward in Minneapolis, you and your warped ilk would have been in a mass grave on Jan. 6, you POS

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@ConradsonJordan @IvanRaiklin That’s how real Americans treat traitorous garbage like Ivan, Gym Jordan

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@KDTrey5 @ThomasBuckets78 Yeah, Thomas. Don’t be coming up in here and fucking with KD. He doesn’t go to your workplace and mess with the donut sprinkles.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@MattHennessey Matt, I hate blind quotes like anyone. But people concerned with their own employment are sources for us in every single thing we cover. The notion that the head of CBS News wouldn’t suffer the same scrutiny is pretty damn sophomoric on your part.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@MattHennessey @WSJFreeEx ON the record: @BariWeiss, you were hand-picked by a guy who was on a conference call to overturn the 2020 election.
Your obsession with curtailing “woke” journalism has resulted in elevating the most dangerous factions of our business. Your toxic top-down culture will kill CBS.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@frogsports @robggill @RGIII Not a bad guy. Just in his own little bubble.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

I’m sorry. As we now know with Me-Ma and her brood, not everyone should be allowed to reproduce.

JD Vance: "To our fellow Americans we say, you're never gonna find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen. But you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life."

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@farhip That’s my thing; like Karoline and the Iceland fiasco, once they’ve been found out and fact-checked for their distortions and lies they seem to think their “followers” will consider any criticism fake news and keep going with the lies. It’s sick and twisted beyond belief.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@CharlesPPierce @bomani_jones @minakimes I we just informed those air miles were since Week 16, which makes me a mathematical idiot

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@Jim_Jordan Thanks, Coach. You knew. And while I’ll give you a little grace because you were just a kid yourself, to now betray the trust of the kids you coached and not admit you knew of their abuse is just downright cowardly.

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

Correction: these are air miles just since Week 16 because, like, it would probably be hard to fly just 6,000 miles for an entire season.

@AnitaMarks Holy crap, that is jet lag

[Mike Wise @MikeWiseguy]

@CharlesPPierce @bomani_jones @minakimes Get in line behind my wife and kids.

@KDTrey5 @timeless__ceo You ain’t shit, KD. I dunked on yo ass at Suitland Park in 2003. (Sorry, Kev, nothing personal. I just always wanted to type that. Hope you’re well, Mike)
