    How do you have an article about Kimmel being suspended for his comments without actually printing what said?

    We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving on Friday − the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this.

    Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend; this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK? And it didn’t just happen once. And then we installed the most beautiful chandelier. Responses you wouldn’t believe. Who thinks like that, and why are we building a $200 million chandelier in the White House? Is it possible that he’s doing it intentionally so he can be bad about that instead of the (Jeffrey) Epstein list?

    All true, and technically not even about Charlie Kirk, just the reaction to his death…
