Welp, it appears Jennifer Rubin has left The Washington Post. Honestly, we're not entirely surprised since Jeff Bezos has figured out his publication can't only cater to mouth-breathers, cat ladies, and angry men with too much estrogen in their systems. She had to know she was losing her base, so she quit.

Whoa, Tater with the scoop.
Whoda thunk it?
From CNN:
Veteran opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution.
Rubin is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen and launching something new: a startup publication called The Contrarian.
The startup’s tagline, “Not owned by anybody,” is a pointed reference to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and other moguls who, in Rubin’s view, have “bent the knee” to President-elect Donald Trump.
“Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN in an interview ahead of the publication’s introduction.
Ha.
HA ha.
HA HA ha.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Oh, man. As you can all already imagine, X is having a great deal of fun at her 'contrarian' expense:
