It often works to halt the page load before it totally finishes. If you catch it right, you get it just after it loads all the content and before it initiates the pay screen.

This works for the WaPo. I don't know about the LAT or NYT. Doesn't work for the WSJ.

Right you are. That's why I've started including the 'title' of the article, as a courtesy, when I post up a link.

The bile and vitriol from this writer is sweet music to my ears.
Here is her concluding paragraph.
Quote:
No matter how cynical one becomes about politics, it seems never to be enough. One hopes that with this irresponsible, soulless act, Christie’s career comes to an end. He may well go down in history as the Republican most responsible for undercutting serious Republican presidential candidates and helping to elect Democrats whose policies endanger U.S. national security. Shame on him.
Really, serious Republican candidates? Name one.

Cribbed from a comment (I comment, sometimes, this is not mine but I like it) on the page:

This is for every GOP pundit who can't believe what's happening:

"...Only now, at the end, do you understand...
Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side.
Now, you will pay the price for your lack of vision!"

Trump is the GOP's Frankenstein's Monster

Trump is no fluke. Nor is he hijacking the Republican Party or the conservative movement, if there is such a thing. He is, rather, the party’s creation, its Frankenstein’s monster, brought to life by the party, fed by the party and now made strong enough to destroy its maker. Was it not the party’s wild obstructionism — the repeated threats to shut down the government over policy and legislative disagreements, the persistent calls for nullification of Supreme Court decisions, the insistence that compromise was betrayal, the internal coups against party leaders who refused to join the general demolition — that taught Republican voters that government, institutions, political traditions, party leadership and even parties themselves were things to be overthrown, evaded, ignored, insulted, laughed at? Was it not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), among others, who set this tone and thereby cleared the way for someone even more irreverent, so that now, in a most unenjoyable irony, Cruz, along with the rest of the party, must fall to the purer version of himself, a less ideologically encumbered anarcho-revolutionary? This would not be the first revolution that devoured itself.
