MOOD: “I just lashed out at somebody for no reason. Happy Wednesday!” — Pardes Seleh, formerly a writer for Mediaite and a scriptwriter for Fox News.

Journo apologizes for her clothing

“I only have one very light jacket that’s right for this weather and it’s very distinctive so please bear with me while I wear the same outfit every day for the next two weeks.” — Amanda Mull, staff writer, The Atlantic.

Reporter goes slightly whacky building a website 

“I’ve never hated WordPress until I started building a website tonight. All I need to know is why these bullshit grid plug ins aren’t making my featured images and headlines line up nice and neatly without ruining the entire site haha. I’ve watched six YouTube instructional videos and read the directions on two different plug ins and I’m still fucking this up.” — Cassandra Fairbanks, The Gateway Pundit.

Kamala Harris shits the bed on CNN ‘Mixed Tape’ interview 

She can’t even name three songs. 

“CNN: ‘On your mixtape what would be like your favorite 3 songs?’

HARRIS: ‘Let’s see… Aretha Franklin, I would say Bob Marley, and then, I don’t know, I love Cardi B.’

This is what happens when you force politicians to stray from their talking points.”

Opinion writer beats up on Ohio Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty, calls her an ‘idiot’ 

“She’s one of those useless government people who thinks it’s smart to use acronyms nobody has ever heard of and to talk to you like you’re stupid for not knowing obscure government offices. Such an idiot.” — Eddie Scarry, commentary writer, The Daily Caller.
