I admit I thought you were joking.
Those glasses do make him look smarter.

Just pray we don't have to come in to contact with any country called 'Meats'.....
The two sides: The Bannonites believe the liberals staged a coup and will turn Trump into a conventional squish who betrays the very voters who brought him to power. The Jared wing thinks the Bannonites are clinically nuts.
Avalon, what is that Axios publication? I've seen a lot of stories by them lately, and I can't really tell what type of journalistic outlet they're trying to be.
AXIOS Media or Axios is a news and information company started in 2016 by Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, former Chief White House correspondent at Politico, Mike Allen, and former Politico Chief Revenue Officer Roy Schwartz. Axios launched in 2017. In the summer of 2016, it secured $10 million in a round of financing led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures. Backers include NBC News, Emerson Collective, Greycroft Partners, and David and Katherine Bradley, owners of Atlantic Media.
For VandeHei, too many media companies have fallen into the traffic trap, or as he has eloquently put it, the “crap trap.” What Axios is trying to do is occupy the space that VandeHei feels The New York Times and The Economist could have commanded if they weren’t tethered to their old print roots. He has joked with potential investors that Axios is best described as what you get if the “Economist mated with Twitter,” and “smartly narrated all the good stuff its own reporters missed,” according to someone familiar with the conversation. In late summer, Axios secured $10 million in financing. The round was led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures, the venture-capital firm integral to the launch of the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Also backing the venture is NBC News, which is a media partner and whose president, Andy Lack, will sit on the board. Other funders include Laurene Powell Jobs’s Emerson Collective, Greycroft Partners, and David and Katherine Bradley, owners of Atlantic Media.
