‪I don’t know how we can take these people as serious conservatives when the reality is that all of them act like baboons in a circus sideshow. If issues like Jennifer Rubin’s label gets their panties in a bunch, how will they respond to a nuclear crisis? Bag of hammers is generous . . .‬

I know conservative thinkers are morons.

Don't, it's still tough for him to get through an interview without saying something condescending and dickish.

I'm old enough to remember when "leading conservatives" were anti-Trump because he's not a conservative. Ah, 2016.

Why isn't WaPo the "paper of record?" They appear to do actual journalismning there.

Yeah, I used those in the past. It can be kind of fun at first--It's gotta kick to it!But, me wearing glasses and getting all fogged up made it suck real quick.

I see. Well, if Fox News had taken the trouble to articulate ways Asian women victimize middle aged white men I suppose that might be a different story. Documentaries about Tokyo Rose, and nail salon exposes! Boy I am glad they didn't since it probably would have worked. Thank you for telling me about him. I spose I've seen this thing before, when 50 years ago my parents got divorced, and my mother's sister in law-- who'd been a nice, regular woman to us kids and to her-- wrote her a mean letter saying, "You always had to have everything. You thought you were so great! But you weren't!" etc. Really really awful. My feeling is, it would be better if they'd spoken up sooner. But they'd say they're The Silent Majority, which is a passive aggressive thing to say. And anyway in fact refers to the dead, not to people who don't speak up.

Ye gawds, imagine a world in which I feel compelled to feel sympathy for George Fucking Will.

DO NOT WANT.

I hate this timeline.

Did he have that hatred and scorn of Obama, as if he'd been a violent far-left agitator instead of the most cosy, unifying man, always soothing everybody?

And he wasn't more racist than anybody else around there? I guess you'll say he wasn't. When you say "ice" what do you mean?

I'm curious now. Did he have a good sense of humor? And was he a kind person, also did he have a seething mass of rage which he was trying to hide? I'm just wondering but I spose there's no key to this riddle really.

You mean he went down the rabbit hole because he believed in it or because he wanted to figure it out?

I'm not defending Romney, I still think he is horrible. But your sweepingly cavalier statement marks you for a fool. You have no concept of the magnitude of the threat we now face, and Romney is not part of it.

Her enlightenment is comparatively recent. She was as expert as anyone in the establishment at polishing W. Bush's knob, until it became suddenly unfashionable, oh, along about Katrina. She still got a heap o' rehabilitatin' to do.
