    It isn’t; you just really fucking suck at reading and want to blame that on professional writers. Not just reading as a skill but reading as a casual interest, given you again intentionally didn’t even check the article.

        You mean like BBC News: “Live updates: Trump replaces Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem”

        It’s a basic English sentence that you just couldn’t and didn’t try to understand and then shamelessly blamed anyone but yourself for. Cry harder.
