Yeah it is funny really. The Weekly Standard went from being Neo Cons a favorite liberal (and sometime conservative) pejorative to “traditional conservatives” just by opposing Trump because he wasn’t intent in pursuing endless war in the middle east. I will not miss the Weekly Standard.

To add insult to injury the RINO’s at ‘Weakly Standard’ go out of business with nice comments from CNN...
Can it get any worse?
Maybe Rachel Maddow and Jeff Flake can say nice things about them... LOL... THAT would be worse.

[It is said that what did in the Standard was not Bill Kristol’s neoconservative views, nor his anti-Trumpism, but rather, his gross incompetence managing the business. His departure as editor-in-chief in 2016 wasn’t about partisan politics, or Trump. It was instigated by an internal coup to try to save a publication being utterly strangled by an idiot manager.]
The salaries some of these hobbyhorse publications pay are obscene. Plenty of people who will write inoffensive political essays for a nominal fee, but WS was reportedly paying its writers hundreds of grand each, as if it were a for-profit.

That’s no lie. Non-profit colleges pay higher salaries to their teaching staff than for-profits.

What an awesome pre-Christmas season this has been.
Slate staff members voted to go on strike, and now The Weekly Standard is shutting down.
MAGA x 2.

The Weekly Standard magazine that espouses traditional conservatism which we enjoyed reading for years The Weekly Standard never espoused traditional conservatism - they peddled warmed-over liberalism with some GOP partisan rhetoric thrown in. From the beginning, Kristol and his circle advocated internationalism and open borders.

Bill makes me puke, so I’m glad his sorry butt is left hurting. He lies and can’t do anything else.

I keep getting NRO and WS mixed up. Which is the one run by Bill Kristol?
To: bigbob
Bill Kristol is essentially the picture in the dictionary after “neoconservative”. That has to be 90% of the explanation why the WS was so anti-Trump.
Now NRO, hasn’t that magazine also been highly critical?
To: sitetest
It will publish its final issue on December 17. In which case, I'll head to my local 7-11 and buy my first edition of their rag on December 18th.

But, but, but, I was gonna book a cruise with bill krystal, stevey hayes, and two other queers from the bi-weakly standard.
We're bi, we're weak, we sit on standard toilets and please you.
We are OUT OF BUSINESS.
We still cannot believe that bastard Trump is President, he is too crude, stupid, lewd, bombastic and he grabs wymxn by the pussy.
It is not Presidential... and we are selling the furniture {cheap}.
