Which led to the Second Era of Ear-Piercing Grief and Bewailment following his resurrection and return before Rubin proclaimed the Miracle of the Fresh Death Spiral that ended with Trump's reelection.
The hacks are arriving in droves, they’re jealous of the highly successful grifting operation Bari Weiss employed by exploiting the platform .
Following the genocidal hack’s playbook is straightforward.
1) Come to Substack making a big fuss about quitting your job because of your journalistic integrity.
2) Write an article exposing the journalistic transgressions your former employer engaged in, make sure you play the victim card.
3) Employ your hacking skills writing a couple of outrageous but vacuous articles that rile up the sheeple, leave the comment section open . Don’t disclose your ulterior motives.
4) Once you achieve a critical mass of subscribers, close the comment section for non-paying subscribers .
5) The sheeple will follow suit, eagerly willing to pay to comment on your useless content.
Successful hacks are pigs that mastered the art in their former jobs, Rubin won’t have a problem. She’s in for the take and will make a killing.
Yep, that's the route to success. And Rubin will be on the gravy train for years, she's got a foothold/cash vacuum with the Never Trumpers & Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd, but maintains her neocon fan. base because she generally sucks and kissing Bibi's ass is catnip for that element.
Harsh, Ken...but truth be told, I dismissed her some years ago for exactly the reasons you listed, i.e., her years writing for the "mainstream" Right, and basically of the Anne Applebaum school of neocon fellow-travelers. However, the past couple of years Rubin has hit notes that I agreed with, and given the sorry stable of putrid Rightists placed on the WaPo Opinion page, she was a pleasant anecdote.
That being said, I hope to read more from Norm Eisen, as Rubin has fallen into tedious repetition of "Never-tRumpism.
Yeah, she’s a one trick pony, was never a fan. I agree with her from time to time but even when I do I don’t trust her reporting because she rarely talks to anyone outside of her circles and she already knows what the punchline is before she begins (and these days, as you note, it’s always that Trump is done).
One can share your same conclusion about Rubin, or instead conclude that she hates Trump so much that she's willing to back anyone who runs against him. Her observations about him are correct, but she's not the only person that predicted he was done for many many times. But were you able to predict otherwise? If so, that would be a much more interesting topic than showing all the times Rubin was wrong.
Or it could have been a single mistake I made (and just fixed) among the 8 times I used the word, since I despise the GOP and hence skipped the training exercise, and being used in a childish fashion by someone who doesn't share my opinion. Who's to say?
This is my favorite line from people who don’t share my negative opinion about someone — you’re just jealous. I’m sure it won’t convince you but I have a very nice life and wouldn’t trade it for anyone’s, but if I wanted to trade places it would not be to be reborn as a complete hack like Rubin. Also, grow up.
Also, it's so easy to become the latest right wing hack on the media gravy train. Find Jesus and the second amendment, shit on anything not plated in 24k MAGA and before you know it your on Fox and Trump thinks you'd be great for a cabinet position.

Dead on. Rubin is one of those people who makes you wonder if there are any skill requirements at all to be an op-Ed writer
This is a hit job .

Let’s not form a circular firing squad, dude.
C'mon Ken, there's no party called the "Democrat Party". The decade long republican training exercise seems to have worked on you.Do better.

Easiest journalism career move ever, a path previously tread by so many.
