The Washington Post continues to be a national embarrassment. The latest example is the Editorial Board’s fall-all-over-itself to find ways to praise Donald Trump even as he continues to establish his fascist fantasy of a United States in which he is above the law, above the Constitution, free to deprive Americans of their liberty without risk and to enrich himself and his family by stealing from the public treasury.

On October 9, the Editorial Board took it upon itself to assume that Trump’s announced Gaza peace plan “may actually hold,” in which case, the Post says, “The president’s unorthodox deal-making style deserves credit.” Maybe. If, if, if….. But “ifs” are not enough. The paper goes on to address the peace “plan” on the eve of the Nobel Peace Prize award announcement and proclaims that “if the deal holds, Trump can legitimately bolster his claim to be a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Wow.

Of course, we now know that the Nobel committee had better sense and awarded to prize to someone with a legitimate claim to it. And the Gaza so-called “peace plan” if unraveling faster than a defective yo-yo.

The Post article goes on with more both-sides-ing than I care to count. And if you’ve been following the news from Israel/Gaza, you know that there was yet another of the usual mutual declarations and denials of violations with the result that Israel killed more Palestinians and then said, yet again, “we’re done now … unless….”

In another story, also dated October 9, the Post said: “Details of the deal, the first phase of which both sides signed earlier Thursday, remain unclear, and Israeli strikes continued Thursday. President Donald Trump said Thursday that the hostages would be released Monday or Tuesday and that he would travel to Egypt for a signing of the plan.” Well, of course he would. Trump always, always needs to be at the center, claiming his brilliance as a negotiator is responsible for whatever good appears to be happening. Having reduced the federal government to a shambles, he is off on a multi-country tour where foreign leaders are fawning all over him with praise and gifts.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Trump, in his brilliance, has ordered the immediate resumption of nuclear weapons testing. How about that Washington Post? Here’s today’s report:

Elect a fool and this is what you get.
