Bezos lost $20-plus billion this week with AMZN plummeting (based on public estimates of his holdings). But at least he might have saved $100M or so dismantling/wrecking the Washington Post

He really doesn't want to believe the president is a horrific racist, so he will pray that he the whole thing is fake rather than actually take a position. At least it's obvious what the president thinks of him, if he didn't already.

There's a lot of passive voice in this statement and allowing the possibility that this was somehow a mistake is just outrageous. Even Republicans need to condemn this without caveat or deference.
