Hiatt was 66 and in good shape.

Apparently not....................

Hiatt was 66 and in good shape.

Is "in good shape" the new "safe and effective"?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

See, see! Trump’s racist and fake news tweets again!!

[Flint]

What does this have to do with the status of the Biden administration staff?

[CatOwner]

Not to be cold, but why should I care? A lot of people die each day. Some who have been suffering for entire lives. Some who are sadly very young.

"...has died after a brief illness"

That's code for COVID or vax death.

[C210N]

66 eh... did he die on his birthday, or could he have died 219 days to being 67?

If the latter, he died at the ripe old age of 66.6

[Skywise]

If only he had taken the 4th booster…

[PGR88]

Is this person at all famous, besides just for being a state-media propagandist?

[xzins]

Never heard of him

[montag813]

I mourn Hiatt’s passing as I would the editor of Prava or Izvestia c. 1984. Meaning, not one damn bit.

Hiatt was still working before the Thanksgiving holiday… At this rate, Biden is likely to be presiding over a dangerously unstaffed administration even halfway into his term

Just remove the "..." from the summary, and you have an accurate statement here. Compost staff works for Slow Joe.

Mom told me you never talk bad of the deceased.

Mom also said that I would need alot of prayers to get into heaven...

From Hiatt's writing :

The strongest argument for impeachment may be that Trump is unfit for office. He lies; he divides; he flouts constitutional norms, embraces dictators and spews hateful rhetoric. He is ignorant and impetuous, temperamentally and philosophically unfit.

All true. In fact, our editorial board said as much when he was nominated in 2016. "Uniquely unqualified to serve as president," we wrote. "A Trump presidency would be dangerous for the nation and the world."

I think we've been proved right. But that is precisely the point: We thought his unfitness was evident before he was elected, and Americans chose him anyway. (No, he didn't win the popular vote. But he won.) He is endangering the future of the planet - but we knew he was a climate denier. He ripped children from their parents at the border - but his racism and anti-immigrant animus, like his contempt for the Constitution, were no secrets.
