I think Washington could/ should be boosted into the A Tier. Being the first President had a bunch of pitfalls that he largely avoided to our ongoing benefit.

Because liar is a word and falsehooder is not.
Someone who lies is a liar. Someone who expresses falsehoods/ says things that are false is more nuanced.

Punt coverage implies the recognition of a two-dimensional playing field, and over the last five years Matt Y's takes have curdled into single left-right dynamic, where the correct response is always, "Punch left."

In the post-Soviet 1990s there were essentially no legitimate threats to the United States anywhere in the world.
Guantanamo, in Castro's Cuba, was the closest thing to a front line that Sorkin and Reiner could get.

The argument that there is ambiguity in the 22nd Amendment seems meritless. Even if there is ambiguity, haven't decades of "originalism" taught us that the intention of the drafters matter?
And we know for a fact that the 22nd Amendment was explicitly adopted in response to FDRs 3rd and 4th terms.

When I first heard the news, I too thought it was going to be because of Reiner's anti-Trump position. The reality is far more personal and tragic.
But Trump cannot help himself and is essentially taking credit for Reiner's demise. Disgraceful.
