Perhaps we could have a sticky thread tilted - "The daily outrage void of evidence, facts, and reason to undermine the Presidents agenda". Then if we wanted to view propaganda we could click on the thread to sympathize with losers and wallow in self-pity.
Yeah, before Trump, he was a “partisan hack” that you loved.

Oh yeah, but he bashed Trump so he's a GOOD conservative, not a mean old bad conservative.

It's so much fun watching libs falling all over themselves as they be loving and slobbering on old Georgie-boy

Kind of OT, but this is the style of writing that makes me hold George Will in high esteem:

How Miserable It Must Be To Be A Progressive - WaPo

There is a difference between love and respect.

I do not "love" George Will. I disagree with him about many, many things. I do, however, respect him as someone who has a brain and uses it. When I want to learn something about conservative thought, as opposed to simple rage, fear-mongering, and pot-stirring, he's my go-to guy, along with Charles Krauthammer.

Neither men have any use for Trump, so it's natural libs suddenly respect both men. Because they're thoughtful and honorable, right? Both men are also deeply enmeshed in the Washington establishment and before the election Tucker Carlson wrote a wonderful article explaining how the entire establishment is threatened by and rejects Trump. Google it.

There is no such thing as a true conservative in the Washington establishment. You can try Victor Davis Hanson, he insulates himself by living in CA. You won't like him though, he hasn't been corrupted by the Washington elite into their groupthink.

What did you people expect him to do, wave a magic wand and make everything okay? He promised the help that they need. What more can he do? And help was already there and working well before his arrival, even if the Mayor of San Juan (stupid woman that she is) didn't acknowledge it.

Yes, jump-shooting paper towels into the crowd like a wannabe-Steph-Curry and constantly downplaying Maria in comparison to Katrina was a bang-up job. You're exactly right.

That photo of him pitching paper towels to people struggling to clean up after two Cat 4/5 hurricanes sums it up.

While I mostly disagree with George Will's opinions I do read them and they make me think about what he says. I then develop a reason why I disagree with what he proposes.

When I listen to our President I usually just respond with a WTF now? This presidency is turning (actually started that way) as absurd theater. Too bad some of the actors are playing with real nuclear weapons. Words may not hurt anyone but nukes certainly will.

My opinion of these men predates Trump's candidacy. I will look up Hanson. I am not interested in anything Tucker Carlson has to say, he is a smarmy little worm.

Don't assume you know what I will or will not like. Cons do that a lot.

This morning he said on Morning Joe that Trump's wince inducing trip to Puerto Rico was best described as trying to describe the color turquoise to blind man, in reference to his utter lack of empathy and a shocking inability to bring comfort to an island of millions of people, over 90% of which do not have electricity.
All you've done here is expose your confirmation bias. George Will joined MSNBC because he's smart enough to follow the money. The money right now for pundits is to be a yellow-bellied anti-Trump liberal sympathizer. Why do you think Joe Scarborough has gone off the rails? Glenn Beck has asked begged for forgiveness. CNN has dropped all pretense of objectivity. Headlines from virtually every non-Fox, non-Breitbart media source out there are written with undeniable anti-Trump bias to pull in the rats and losers on the left. It's all about money. Clicks and views. Cha-Ching! You've been swindled and you don't even realize it.
