The shabbiest U.S. president ever is an inexpressibly sad specimen

.
Some things George mentioned have merit, many others I dismiss with justifiable prejudice. (imo)
But I’m uninspired to rehash the differences here and now.

What strikes me from the article is this: “Mr. Conservative” Will I do not recall ever waging such invective on any liberal dignitary or extreme liberal opponent so savagely as has on both Donald Trump’s policies and Donald Trump’s character. Which says to me “this is personal.” George Will’s ego has been bruised in the recent past and as a result he has chosen to abandon integrity and fairness for the sake of revenge. Sad.

Of course it's personal. That's entirely what "character" is and always has been about ---- the personal. The personal failings of abject narcissism, sociopathy, avarice, mendacity, petulance, vanity ---- "personal character" is a redundant phrase.

Rump Resistance has nothing to do with "liberal" or "conservative" anything. That would imply the political whore actually has some kind of ideology. He doesn't. He's a con artist pure and simple, who can and will say or do anything for the ego masturbation of Numero Uno, and if it also serves that masturbation he'll turn right around and deny he did or said the first one, e.g. "Mexico will pay for the wall", e.g. "I didn't mock a reporter". This has ALWAYS been personal from Day Zero. That's part and parcel of being personally unqualified to hold office.

You're just NOW figuring this out?

Not sure how you make the leap to "George Will's ego has been bruised" from a treatise that doesn't even bring him up. Methinks George Will's ego is not the one bruised here. Oh and by the way speaking of egos we can all read normal fonts; your words are not somehow singularly of greater import.

.
Why did George Will tell everyone to vote for Hillary, because he had a little tantrum when Trump and others called him out back then, All of a sudden what despicable Hillary wants is better for this nation than Trump’s ideas? Sure, honest George. Face it, you turned against your own beliefs to defend your own ego. You would rather look right than be right. Get it? It wasn’t “personal” because it was against Trump’s character --- that was obvious --- it became personal when little Georgie was impugned. The fact he could not give Trump a modicum of credit for anything in all his screeds speaks volumes.

But since you and yours occupy your every waking hour with Trump’s character (as though that justifies all of your owned crazed ideas for America) we will give you your little victory. We know Trump is flawed, we know he is boorish and clumsy when he speaks and does a poor job of explaining his positions. Was that your reason we were supposed to choose Hillary instead? : 0

Trump, despite his sins, has done many good things for America, and if he did not have a coward or blackmailed republican congress, so much more could have been done. But I guess the devil is winning the war in this world, so no surprise this will become a failure, too, but not because of Trump or his flawed character. D.C. is run by the devil. Trump is the only one with courage to stand up against this self serving wicked deep state. How many crooks do you suffer and continue to look the other way? But you do not care, you have an ego and a mission of your own. You could not care less what good things may come from Trump, your lame response is he only tries to help our economy, national security or families for his own ego. You either lie or you are dumb, imo.

When I got to the part where you went "Rump has courage" I collapsed to the floor gasping for air. That was funny as a crutch, considering its reference to a self-infatuated asshole who melts down into a puddle at the slightest perceived slight. If that's "courage", Michael Moore is a fucking dietician.

None of that drivel addressed my point anyway. You acted surprised that Rump aversion is personal, I pointed out what the fuck else could it possibly be, and you just yammer on and on about 'deep states' squirting your ad hom water pistol.

.
Are you dense or can you not allow yourself to admit you were mistaken as to what I was referring to? Trust me, you need not respond I am done explaining. I could explain Trump’s courage to you (which you found so funny) including schooling the UN and NATO to pay up, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, addressing the Arab nation leaders in Saudi Arabia to get their act together on terrorists, but no matter how many examples provided, you would still run back to Trump’s twitters spats to show me his lack of courage or something of that nature. Thanks, at least I know what I am up against.

We ALL know what we're up against. And we've been sounding the alarm on if for going on four years.

Yet there y'all are, the sycophant train, slobbing his knob like there's no tomorrow.

George Will is a sell out who'd rather be popular with Democrats.

He'll never be popular with Democrats. He's still holding out hope for sane Republicans. But they seem to be sitting on their hands.

Hillary's husband was caught with his pants down in the Oval Office playing hide the cigar with an intern barely older than his daughter and the crazy angry left thinks President Trump is "shabby"? WTF?

Cowardly conservatives: masters of the red herring fallacy.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

LBJ ranks high on the shabby list. He was such a crook that the media even joked about how citizens who resided in cemeteries got him elected to local office. He faked a crisis that ultimately cost the lives of almost 50,000 Americans in Vietnam. He was a democrat though so the media managed to blame Vietnam on Tricky Dick Nixon.

lol

Cowardly conservatives just can’t help themselves with the moronic and failed attempts to deflect.

Can a Pussy Grabber ever really be shabby?

Wasn't Bill Clinton worse than a "pussy grabber"? How about JFK? It depends on how many blogs and tabloids and foreign propaganda sites the crazy left can come up with to reinforce their anger over the results of the election.

Trump has had more wives than the two of them combined

... and that's just his own wives, not counting other wives he has fornicated with.

This article is by right-wing political commentator George F Will. It reflects the tide turning against Donald Trump.

There is so much smoke coming out of the Trump administration there is either a raging fire or Donald Trump has hired Cheech and Chong to lift the spirits of administration workers.

The worst aspect of the corruption of the GOP is the burgeoning budget deficit and the spiraling government debt which Donald Trump has addressed by stating he won't be here when the day of reckoning comes for the public debt. The GOP doesn't even care about Trump's negligence.

How much dirt can the Trump base bear?

Half or a quarter of the way through this interesting experiment with an incessantly splenetic presidency, much of the nation has become accustomed to daily mortifications. Or has lost its capacity for embarrassment, which is even worse.

If the country’s condition is calibrated simply by economic data — if, that is, the United States is nothing but an economy — then the state of the union is good. Except that after two years of unified government under the party that formerly claimed to care about fiscal facts and rectitude, the nation faces a $1 trillion deficit during brisk growth and full employment. Unless the president has forever banished business cycles — if he has, his modesty would not have prevented him from mentioning it — the next recession will begin with gargantuan deficits, which will be instructive.

The president has kept his promise not to address the unsustainable trajectory of the entitlement state (about the coming unpleasant reckoning, he said: “Yeah, but I won’t be here”), and his party’s congressional caucuses have elevated subservience to him into a political philosophy. The Republican-controlled Senate — the world’s most overrated deliberative body — will not deliberate about, much less pass, legislation the president does not favor. The evident theory is that it would be lèse-majesté for the Senate to express independent judgments.
...

Dislike of him should be tempered by this consideration: He is an almost inexpressibly sad specimen. It must be misery to awaken to another day of being Donald Trump. He seems to have as many friends as his pluperfect self-centeredness allows, and as he has earned in an entirely transactional life. His historical ignorance deprives him of the satisfaction of working in a house where much magnificent history has been made. His childlike ignorance — preserved by a lifetime of single-minded self-promotion — concerning governance and economics guarantees that whenever he must interact with experienced and accomplished people, he is as bewildered as a kindergartener at a seminar on string theory.
Which is why this fountain of self-refuting boasts (“I have a very good brain”) lies so much. He does so less to deceive anyone than to reassure himself. And as balm for his base, which remains oblivious to his likely contempt for them as sheep who can be effortlessly gulled by preposterous fictions. The tungsten strength of his supporters’ loyalty is as impressive as his indifference to expanding their numbers.
Either the electorate, bored with a menu of faintly variant servings of boorishness, or the 22nd Amendment will end this, our shabbiest but not our first shabby presidency. As Mark Twain and fellow novelist William Dean Howells stepped outside together one morning, a downpour began and Howells asked, “Do you think it will stop?” Twain replied, “It always has.”

/——/ Trump bad because he won’t take other people’s money and give it to you. So sad

Trump has a history of taking other people’s money and giving it to himself

Donald Trump's favorite charity is Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and the rest of the Trump family are filling their pockets.

Even Melania Trump is implicated in missing $30 million from the inauguration party donation fund.

The ONLY THING WE NEED TO REMEMBER: Republicans would rather be Russian than to be American

Proof you’re brainwashed. Only a brainwashed person would say ^ this and be completely serious.

There are plenty of Trump supporters wearing those dumb ass T-shirts with the quote, "I would rather be Russian than a Democrat"

Democrats are American, last I checked so, if it's true then Republicans would rather be Russian than American.

Pretty simple. Why make it complicated?

Democrats are the last Americans. The Republicans have already left the building.

Of course it's personal. That's entirely what "character" is and always has been about ---- the personal. The personal failings of abject narcissism, sociopathy, avarice, mendacity, petulance, vanity ---- "personal character" is a redundant phrase.

Rump Resistance has nothing to do with "liberal" or "conservative" anything. That would imply the political whore actually has some kind of ideology. He doesn't. He's a con artist pure and simple, who can and will say or do anything for the ego masturbation of Numero Uno, and if it also serves that masturbation he'll turn right around and deny he did or said the first one, e.g. "Mexico will pay for the wall", e.g. "I didn't mock a reporter". This has ALWAYS been personal from Day Zero. That's part and parcel of being personally unqualified to hold office.

Not sure how you make the leap to "George Will's ego has been bruised" from a treatise that doesn't even bring him up. Methinks George Will's ego is not the one bruised here. Oh and by the way speaking of egos we can all read normal fonts; your words are not somehow singularly of greater import.

.
Why did George Will tell everyone to vote for Hillary, because he had a little tantrum when Trump and others called him out back then, All of a sudden what despicable Hillary wants is better for this nation than Trump’s ideas? Sure, honest George. Face it, you turned against your own beliefs to defend your own ego. You would rather look right than be right. Get it? It wasn’t “personal” because it was against Trump’s character --- that was obvious --- it became personal when little Georgie was impugned. The fact he could not give Trump a modicum of credit for anything in all his screeds speaks volumes.

But since you and yours occupy your every waking hour with Trump’s character (as though that justifies all of your owned crazed ideas for America) we will give you your little victory. We know Trump is flawed, we know he is boorish and clumsy when he speaks and does a poor job of explaining his positions. Was that your reason we were supposed to choose Hillary instead? : 0

Trump, despite his sins, has done many good things for America, and if he did not have a coward or blackmailed republican congress, so much more could have been done. But I guess the devil is winning the war in this world, so no surprise this will become a failure, too, but not because of Trump or his flawed character. D.C. is run by the devil. Trump is the only one with courage to stand up against this self serving wicked deep state. How many crooks do you suffer and continue to look the other way? But you do not care, you have an ego and a mission of your own. You could not care less what good things may come from Trump, your lame response is he only tries to help our economy, national security or families for his own ego. You either lie or you are dumb, imo.

When I got to the part where you went "Rump has courage" I collapsed to the floor gasping for air. That was funny as a crutch, considering its reference to a self-infatuated asshole who melts down into a puddle at the slightest perceived slight. If that's "courage", Michael Moore is a fucking dietician.

None of that drivel addressed my point anyway. You acted surprised that Rump aversion is personal, I pointed out what the fuck else could it possibly be, and you just yammer on and on about 'deep states' squirting your ad hom water pistol.

.
Are you dense or can you not allow yourself to admit you were mistaken as to what I was referring to? Trust me, you need not respond I am done explaining. I could explain Trump’s courage to you (which you found so funny) including schooling the UN and NATO to pay up, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, addressing the Arab nation leaders in Saudi Arabia to get their act together on terrorists, but no matter how many examples provided, you would still run back to Trump’s twitters spats to show me his lack of courage or something of that nature. Thanks, at least I know what I am up against.

Trump has the gall to trample on American political norms but is gutless when it comes to compelling Saudi Prince MBS to face justice for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

The rest is all BS and just represents Trump trampling on institutions and alliances to appease his howling mob of dupes.

The shabbiest U.S. president ever is an inexpressibly sad specimen

Some things George mentioned have merit, many others I dismiss with justifiable prejudice. (imo)
But I’m uninspired to rehash the differences here and now.

What strikes me from the article is this: “Mr. Conservative” Will I do not recall ever waging such invective on any liberal dignitary or extreme liberal opponent so savagely as has on both Donald Trump’s policies and Donald Trump’s character. Which says to me “this is personal.” George Will’s ego has been bruised in the recent past and as a result he has chosen to abandon integrity and fairness for the sake of revenge. Sad.

Just like Pogo and rightwinger .

You can feel the butthurt with their every post.

You appear to have experience and expertise in that subject. Are you an amateur proctologist?

You're a shabbily convincing leftist shill poster. No bitch, I'm an American. Don't fuck with me, I'll hurt you.

Homie don't play that.

Your feet are probably full of bullet holes.

This article is by right-wing political commentator George F Will. It reflects the tide turning against Donald Trump.

There is so much smoke coming out of the Trump administration there is either a raging fire or Donald Trump has hired Cheech and Chong to lift the spirits of administration workers.

The worst aspect of the corruption of the GOP is the burgeoning budget deficit and the spiraling government debt which Donald Trump has addressed by stating he won't be here when the day of reckoning comes for the public debt. The GOP doesn't even care about Trump's negligence.

How much dirt can the Trump base bear?

The shabbiest U.S. president ever is an inexpressibly sad specimen

Half or a quarter of the way through this interesting experiment with an incessantly splenetic presidency, much of the nation has become accustomed to daily mortifications. Or has lost its capacity for embarrassment, which is even worse.

If the country’s condition is calibrated simply by economic data — if, that is, the United States is nothing but an economy — then the state of the union is good. Except that after two years of unified government under the party that formerly claimed to care about fiscal facts and rectitude, the nation faces a $1 trillion deficit during brisk growth and full employment. Unless the president has forever banished business cycles — if he has, his modesty would not have prevented him from mentioning it — the next recession will begin with gargantuan deficits, which will be instructive.

The president has kept his promise not to address the unsustainable trajectory of the entitlement state (about the coming unpleasant reckoning, he said: “Yeah, but I won’t be here”), and his party’s congressional caucuses have elevated subservience to him into a political philosophy. The Republican-controlled Senate — the world’s most overrated deliberative body — will not deliberate about, much less pass, legislation the president does not favor. The evident theory is that it would be lèse-majesté for the Senate to express independent judgments.
...

Dislike of him should be tempered by this consideration: He is an almost inexpressibly sad specimen. It must be misery to awaken to another day of being Donald Trump. He seems to have as many friends as his pluperfect self-centeredness allows, and as he has earned in an entirely transactional life. His historical ignorance deprives him of the satisfaction of working in a house where much magnificent history has been made. His childlike ignorance — preserved by a lifetime of single-minded self-promotion — concerning governance and economics guarantees that whenever he must interact with experienced and accomplished people, he is as bewildered as a kindergartener at a seminar on string theory.
Which is why this fountain of self-refuting boasts (“I have a very good brain”) lies so much. He does so less to deceive anyone than to reassure himself. And as balm for his base, which remains oblivious to his likely contempt for them as sheep who can be effortlessly gulled by preposterous fictions. The tungsten strength of his supporters’ loyalty is as impressive as his indifference to expanding their numbers.
Either the electorate, bored with a menu of faintly variant servings of boorishness, or the 22nd Amendment will end this, our shabbiest but not our first shabby presidency. As Mark Twain and fellow novelist William Dean Howells stepped outside together one morning, a downpour began and Howells asked, “Do you think it will stop?” Twain replied, “It always has.”

/——/ Trump bad because he won’t take other people’s money and give it to you. So sad

Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and the rest of the Trump family are filling their pockets.

Even Melania Trump is implicated in missing $30 million from the inauguration party donation fund.

/----/ It would be so nice if you have proof of this evil practice of filling one's pockets. What's in your pockets?

Donald Trump is in Putin's pocket and Jared Kushner is in Mohammed Bin Salman's pocket.

/——/ And you’re the 8 ball in the corner pocket.

George Will's opinion should matter to me because of???????

... you want to improve yourself.

George Will is part of the Beltway swamp and all you have to do is look at his ties to the CFR and the newspapers controlled by the CFR he has/and worked for. I would utterly destroy George Will in an open debate so there would be absolutely nothing to be learned from him.


Regardless of what Trump is being accused of, at the very least (and I do mean the VERY least) Trump has proven beyond any deniable doubt that there is indeed a "shadow government" and a deep state of "made men" that carry out their orders to protect it along with a complicit media. It's not even disputable or up for debate. This is a "banana republic" just like I claimed years ago.
