"SNIP.......

The Washington Post decided not to publish Trump’s response to their three-part 1/6 investigation because it was unrelated and inflammatory.

The Washington Post wrote about Trump’s response:

The Post provided Trump a list of 37 findings reported as part of its investigation. His spokesman Taylor Budowich provided a lengthy written response that included series of unrelated, inflammatory claims that The Post is not publishing in full.

In response to the investigation’s findings, Budowich said that the former president “greatly objected” to all of them. He disputed The Post’s investigation as “fake news” and falsely cast people who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 as “agitators not associated with President Trump.” The statement repeated Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was rigged.

1. Thank you Jeff Bezos, for keeping the flame of journalism burning in our nation's Capital.

4. Agree. He's rightly criticized for some things, but he

Saved the Post and has (mostly) kept hands off. Unfortunately, there are still problems, such as the direction of too many editorial columns since a new editor was hired, and the continuing publication of too many worthless right wing columns, in an misguided attempt to be “balanced.”

2. That's going to piss off JFK Jr. when he comes back today! Good for the Post. It's

time we took that moronic nonsense out of the realm of news.

Put it in the "weird shit of the day from the people who create and believe weird shit" publication.

3. JFK quote: "Don't piss off people who buy ink by the barrel."

5. And, That Goes Further Back Than JFK

Mark Twain wrote "I never argue with a man that buys ink by the barrel."
And, I've seen references that go back to Ben Franklin.
So, it appears a lot of famous people found that line important!
