We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

I'm not sure why, but I did not expect it to be delivered like that lol. imagine being on the lawn press corps.

I remember a satirist saying back in the 80s that the entire purpose of the WH press corps was to follow the prez around just in case he says "fuck" or gets shot.

what a payoff.

There's a congressional reporter I follow on Bluesky and his old bio included something like... "I follow politicians around in hallways and ask them questions." His factual reportage is very good. But any sort of analysis he does is poop. The contrast always makes me laugh.
