It’s a publication inextricably tied to one of darkest stains in US foreign policy history. The illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign state that unleashed sectarian hell on an entire region and led to literally incalculable degrees of suffering. But go ahead and praise.
It was tough to hear of the @weeklystandard's shuttering this week. Its editors and writers deserve abiding respect for their work and for staying rooted amid the Trumpian headwinds they defied. I hope their voices aren't lost and that an even stronger chorus rises in its place.

The Weekly Standard was, at its best, a principled conservative outlet. More often it just was a partisan rag and harbinger of the anti-objective-reality dumpster fire of the 2018 GOP. The blind partisanism it couldn't resist fomenting has killed it. It found its soul too late.

Not going to miss disingenuous bad faith arguments masquerading as intellectual policy discussions to hide greed and anti-democratic motivations.

While I often disagreed with them I often read their articles to try to understand their views so I could focus on how to counteract them. Not like Breitbart who were based on all spin from an alternate reality somewhere.
