I’m so tired of this. I get it, but goddammit, real people are going to die in this fire.

Ok, preview no worky. Here’s the headline: “America voted for a dumpster fire — Democrats just need to let it burn itself out”
Here’s another beauty: “Voters have given Trump a second chance to rise to the occasion. Will he?”
Seriously? No. The answer is no. WTF?

Every year, we pick someone to be our Person of the Year, and we put their face on the cover of our magazine. It’s, like, the big thing you know about us. And look, some years we pick incredible people. Folks who have lived their lives for the good of humanity: whistleblowers, silence breakers, Ebola fighters, and brave journalists. This is not one of those years. This year, we’ve decided to pick a person who absolutely fucking sucks.
The last time we went with an asshole was back in 2021. (And that guy’s only gotten worse.) Then, all the way back in 2022, we took a big long break from assholes. We did the “Spirit of Ukraine,” remember? You’re welcome for that. War solved. Case closed. In 2023, we chose Taylor Swift instead of, um, unions or something boring like that. And now, three years later, we feel like we’ve waited long enough. It’s time for another total fucking prick. Again.
Access journalism is the only game in DC. You can’t be cutoff completely.
I just… can’t even anymore with these dipshits.
Did you see the first time? Did you pay any attention to his campaign? Or to the people he has surrounded himself with? Then why would you need to ask this question?
That’s a great question. Here are some others – will this be a year he suddenly starts speaking fluent Catalan? Will his diaper stench turn out to cure cancer? Will he spontaneously mutate into a velociraptor? Will he come unzipped and collapse into a pile of maggots like the Oogie Boogie man? I guess we’ll have to wait and see to be sure!
God, I hope he comes unzipped and collapses into a pile of maggots like the Oogie Boogie man.
It’s almot like removing every guardrail against market consolidation in media has enabled a return to an era where ultrawealthy business barons control the news and have converted it into a tool to perpetuate their endless resource hoarding.
Nailed it.
As our centennial series continues, Micah Rasmussen, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University and former press secretary for Governor McGreevey, looks back at a century of theStar-Ledger , once the Newark Star-Ledger , which ends its print edition in February.
