Sad to report the death this morning of Fred Hiatt, the editor of the @washingtonpost’s editorial page and a wonderful colleague. Note to staff just sent by publisher Fred Ryan: pic.twitter.com/6Le9MIvhAx

No word on what caused the death. Hiatt was 66 and in good shape.

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. If the GOP wins the Senate next year, he’s likely to go an entire term without anything close to a full government in place. @postopinions https://t.co/mt928VK7qK

In any event, it's out of our hands now.

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

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.

He wrote three highly critical editorials on the communist regime in China in the last month of his life.

He criticized China for it’s response to concern over tennis player Peng Shuai. He wrote one suggesting China’s labor polices were a form of genocide and he wrote another about ‘dying in prison’ journalist Zhang Zhan (who blew the whistle on Wuhan).

(Posting this in keeping with the ‘keep it classy’ request).
