Jennifer Rubin to Resign From Washington Post?

Townhall Media

The Washington Post has decided not to endorse a candidate for president this year. 

Ed has a post coming up discussing the matter, so I won't go into the reasoning or provide an analysis of what is behind that decision. Ed has been in this business longer than I have and is, frankly, better at that sort of thing. He is one of the best analysts I have ever met and a lot more dispassionate in his analyses.

The Post, as far as I know, is the second major newspaper to bow out of the endorsement scramble this year after the Los Angeles Times (a very liberal newspaper) decided not to endorse either Trump or Kamala Harris. In that case the decision, we are told, came down from the owner, and the editor decided to quit. 

I don't know the backstory to the WaPo's decision, but I do know that Jennifer Rubin was all over the L.A. Times' failure to endorse, and applauded like a trained seal when an editor resigned. She called on the entire editorial board to do so in protest. 

If there is one thing I know about Jennifer, it's that she is principled, consistent, utterly rational, and doesn't care about fame, money, prestige, or any of those worldly concerns most of us make compromises for. She is a warrior for truth, justice, and the American way. 

So, no doubt, she will resign.

She sees the dark forces of Nazism marching to Washington so she will bravely stand on principle and leave the Post to become a door knocker for Kamala Harris, and if Harris loses, she will stand on the ramparts to beat back the Nazi hoards as they storm Washington D.C. 

Right?

Millions of Americans will applaud Jennifer if she courageously resigns, not so much because we admire her but because we don't, but keep that part a secret. We don't want her to decide that sticking around at the Post would be a good way to annoy MAGA because, well, she is actually a spiteful little troll.

Jennifer is deeply concerned about Democracy Dying in Darkness; so much so that after Biden's infamous Independence Hall speech that was stage-managed by Leni Riefenstahl, she called for mass arrests of Republicans.

Someone willing to go so far as to throw the fascists like you and me in jail surely is willing to take a principled stand and quit her job at the Washington Post and perhaps take up arms herself to defend us against literally Hitler.

Attia claims her life is on the line. You have to love that level of derangement. 

I love that J.D. Vance is the real fascist mastermind, according to Rubin. Listen to him as he reveals his dark vision for America:

Worse than Hitler, right? Weird. 

Will Rubin resign? I suppose it is possible, but it would be disappointing in a way. She is so deranged, so implausible in her arguments, and so shrill that it is kinda funny once you get past taking her seriously.

Rubin, of course, is just a stand-in for all the insane anti-Trumpers. She and George Conway could do an unintentional stand up act at an insane asylum somewhere. 

As of now, I have yet to see Rubin come out and resign. No matter which way she goes, I will enjoy watching the freakout.
