      Perhaps you’d like to enlighten us on Mr. Ellis’ virtues & expertise? On one hand he’s a spineless opportunist devoid of morality & on the other he’s happy to debase & discredit himself & ruin someone’s career in order to carry out revenge. Do tell why he deserves this position.

      I assume, if you think that's my point, that you did not follow American politics before now.

      Yeah, Rachel's not the type to follow American politics too closely, Dan, but maybe you could look into the DC practice of "burrowing" and why it's unethical, since you, too, seem to be new to the political game.

      Yes, that's why it has a name as a practice. So when called out about sniping at Rachel, your response is fusillade of "Whatabout." Ellis should be removed from that position. I don't care if the other mommies did it too.

      All I ask for is some semblance of neutral principles rather than just an endless game of "it's OK when we do it."

          One of the reasons that people react more strongly when Trump does it is because he incited an insurrection after attacking the national security structures of the United States for four years. People are unwilling to give him benefit of the doubt on garden-variety corruption. /1

          Maybe you could just admit that you picked the wrong target to snipe at over the wrong issue at the wrong moment. Happens to all of us. But doubling down and “what about“ is just the double standard you decry. /2x
