Tonight, I will toast to the end of the Weekly Standard. In fact I'm gonna toast right now. And at lunch. And at Christmas parties tonight. Basically, f--- those guys.

Yeah. The “traditionally conservative’ tag was heavy handed for a rebranding of a NeoCon organ. His mom might have carried that moniker, but Bill sure didn’t.

Kristol finally can stop pretending to be a conservative. It must be a great relief to him. He will not be missed.

Anyone who supported the neo-con PNAC did this country more damage than good.

May it please God that this is the beginning of the end of faux conservatism aka globalism, corporatism, destruction of sovereignty and patriotism.

LOL That’s why its closing. Hayes has been a Never-Trumper from the beginning.

I was a print subscriber to TWS for many years but I dropped them in 2016 for obvious reasons.

Two years. That’s all it took...
Add “TWS” to the list of “Broken by Trump”.

Wikipedia’s history becomes a fitting Opus as it chronicles TWS’s spiral around the drain:
In late 2016, Kristol ended his time as editor-in-chief.
He was replaced by Stephen Hayes, the magazine’s senior writer. Under Hayes’ leadership, the Standard continued to be critical of Donald Trump; Trump’s supporters in turn criticized the Standard, and the magazine’s influence in Republican circles dwindled.
In December, 2017, The Weekly Standard became an official fact-checking partner for Facebook.
On 14 December, 2018, the magazine announced that it will shut down after 23 years of publication.

I recall seeing Hayes on Fox News before the big Trump-Clinton debate. He sounded exactly like a Democrat and when they identified him as from the Weekly Standard I had to LMAO.

Billy Kristol, thought he was a comedian, a conservative trolling the most conservative president since the Beloved Ronald Reagan.
He happens to be the most egotistical moron ever to publish
in Washington.
This story made me very happy.
