Bill Kristol and Steve Hayes will have to find new people to go on their stupid annual cruises, as the #NeverTrump Weekly Standard is shutting down after 23 years. I guess being anti-Trump isn’t a good business model for what is supposed to be a conservative magazine. Trump rekt Kristol and Hayes, and I couldn’t be happier. Now, National Review needs to die.

The Weekly Standard is shutting down, owner Clarity Media Group announced Friday, ending one of the only conservative outlets that consistently stood in opposition to the style and politics of President Donald Trump.
The magazine’s final issue, which was completed Thursday, will publish on Dec. 17, Clarity said in a press release. The decision was communicated to staff members at a 10:30 a.m. meeting.
All staff members were terminated, with pay through the end of the year, a Clarity spokesperson confirmed, saying that the office will be closed on Friday. Severance is being offered by Clarity and its publishing arm, MediaDC, two staff members told POLITICO, contingent on them signing a non-disclosure agreement — a stringent condition from a media company that states on its website a mission to “inform and enlighten readers.”
