In--fing--credible.

Edited to add: well the 'border czar' Kam hasnt made it to the border, but at least her children's book has....

If you’re this pissed about 1,000 copies of Harris’ book being purchased for a single detention facility (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews...book.amp), boy do I have some stories of self-enrichment from the previous administration!

Not a good look - should be investigated to see why the decision was made to purchase these and if the VP office had any influence in the purchase for the Long Beach facility. Could easily be that the person running the facility thought having the book from the VP was a good idea - no problemo. Could also be that the VP’s office pushed for it - no bueno.

But getting worked up over this, compared to the mountain of tax payer funds that went directly into the Trump organizations pockets from all of the golf outings, is a bit uneven, no?

You can’t make this **** up (well, I guess you can, actually):

Quote: The reporter who wrote the article, Laura Italiano, tweeted late Tuesday afternoon that she had resigned from the newspaper. Italiano tweeted: "The Kamala Harris story -- an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against -- was my breaking point."

The Post's Tuesday changes to the article, which was originally published on Friday, followed a Washington Post fact check in which a Long Beach spokesman explained that a community member had donated a single copy of the Harris children's book, "Superheroes Are Everywhere," as part of a book drive -- and that the book would not be handed out in a welcome kits.

The spokesman, Kevin Lee, told the Washington Post and later CNN that neither the federal government nor the city government had purchased copies of the Harris book. Lee told CNN in an email that books will be made available at the shelter in an informal library, not pre-selected for each child's welcome package.

Hat tip to the reporter for resigning.

I wonder why no one resigned like that after the breathless exhultations of the Trump/Russia collusion, Steele dossier, Flynn piles of poo.

Impressive flip to whataboutism there.

Maybe the NY Post isn’t the most trustworthy news publication. Has there been news suggesting that journalist completely fabricated stories and facts regarding your whatabout post contents? The Steele dossier is real. The Flynn calls were real. The Trump campaign/Russia investigation was real.

The original news story literally made things up.

Lad, whataboutism is only something leftists do... you must have forgotten that during your recent hiatus from the Quad.
