1. One reality television star was too much.

Recommended.

9. I disagree. The public knew what a fool Trump was when they elected him. Oprah is no fool.

Though I don't think she will run because she knows that the job is hard work and unlike Trump, she doesn't need the money. If Oprah ran and won, she would work her ass off to do the best job she could. Also, she's an intelligent woman and articulate. She would represent the US well on the world stage. But she knows that those Deplorables are still out there, and she knows what they tried to do to Michelle and Barack so why should she give up her privacy to do a job for her Country when she knows it would just unlease the Deplorables and the Birthers all over again. I think she would be great but I hope she won't do it. She can serve her country in another capacity.

3. I kind of figured this would blow over...

Most progressives aren't insane, at least not for long.

4. Is everyone asked to pay $1 to read this article? nt

5. I had an issue viewing the WP online before as well

I think you get 10 free articles per month. Somebody then recommended to me to copy & paste the link into a Mozilla/Firefox Browser and that seemed to work.

6. perhaps DU needs a policy about linking to pay sites like wapo and business insiders nt

8. For me, Chrome in "incognito" mode works flawlessly for reading and commenting WaPo articles.

It even works if my VPN is off.

10. How do I turn on Icognito?

15. Right click on the link,

then choose Open in Incognito window from the box that pops up.

7. Open the link in an incognito browser

Or use a VPN (you should use a VPN for a lot of things, actually). Or both.

[LAS14]

11. Response #8 suggests that Icognito is a Chrome mode, not a separate browser. ??? nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

12. Yes. I believe there are others that offer it.

My Kindle Fire has it, too. It's just an anonymous one that doesn't connect to your accounts, etc and doesn't save cookies (what WashPo would use to know if you've read too much) or history.

13. I couldn't help but notice Gillibrand does even worse.

I'm sorry, but that made my day.

14. What, folks thought she was serious?
