Okay, I know that Rick Wilson is a Republican, but I love his turn of phrase.

Republican Rick Wilson: If the GOP found 'spygate' intel 'Devin Nunes would have run out like a monkey with his ass on fire'

[Phoenix61]

1. He does have a way with words

Speaking of Nunes, he has been oddly silent.

[DeminPennswoods]

2. Steve Schmidt does, too

Bill Kristol is witty and droll when he skewers Trump.

[salin]

36. and David Frum

[Takket]

8. Probably interviewing lawyers of his own.

[RandomAccess]

39. He is actually quite a good writer,

creative too. Every now and then he does a "treatment," I'll call it -- like a pitch for a screenplay or TV script covering recent events, and they're marvelous.

[empedocles]

3. The enemy

of my enemy is [sort of] my friend [for now].

[empedocles]

4. George Will is another one.

Bothersome, but can skewer Republicons.
On Trump, 'is there any undesirable trait that Mr. Trump does not possess.'

On Pence - [was brutal, and sort of initiated open season on Pence].

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. George will often irritates me, but he's a damn good writer.

[NewJeffCT]

5. I keep telling people that Democrats need every vote they can get

so, while I'm under no illusions that Wilson and Schmidt and Ana Navarro are turning into liberal Democrats, they're some of the most outspoken anti Trumpers out there. I wish high profile Democrats would speak out as strongly as they do.

In 2016, if just 1 vote in 100 had flipped, Clinton would not only have won Wisconsin, Michigan and PA, but NC and Florida as well and we would have been talking about her electoral landslide.

[Kirk Lover]

11. It's called a coalition of the decent, also coined by Schmidt. nt

[EarnestPutz]

22. Coalition of the Decent!!

We should take this expression and run with it
this November and beyond. Be decent. Get rid of
Trump and his minions. Save America.

[ewagner]

6. I've always considered Wilson as pure evil...

but in this case I'll give him credit for speaking the truth!

[womanofthehills]

13. Actually, as long as he hates Trump (which he does) that's good for me

[Pepsidog]

7. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. When Dotard is gone, we can go back to the traditional

battle lines. At this point, I don’t care what your political leanings are, if you dislike Trump, you are ok with me. Once the ship is back on course, we can all retreat to our respective corners and do battle. Provided, that is, we have a country to go back to.

[relogic]

9. Desperate

I personally find it untenable or intolerable to accept such aid from consultants of this ilk-opportunists who fought for and were compensated so well to elevate this monster to power. Their “political leanings” sounds innocuous-it is not so.

We must stand up and declare such vociferous enablers of Trump (prior to the installment/election)
what they truly are. Cowards and the best examples of what traitors are. Are we now so desperate to give these people such quarter?

[Pepsidog]

10. I appreaciate your point but desparte time calls for... Anyway

we need that special kind of GOP viciousness On our side. The time for polite society is over. We need all the help we can get against the Monsters. We can return to traditional battle formations when we clear the field of the enemy. I know it’s distasteful, but times are desparte.

[relogic]

14. Sides

Respectfully, they are not on our side. My position. They only rally to us when it suits their career perspective. One must ask-given their former support of the cruel repub ideology-can they ever be trusted as a meaningful adversary of what true progressives need fight for.

As we all know when you invite the devil to fight for you and bless you with fortune, there may be a cost extracted and with unfortunate, political consequences.

[Pepsidog]

30. Well said and food for thought. Thanks

[relogic]

34. Nice discussion

Thank you for your thoughts

[Achilleaze]

12. LOL

[Kingofalldems]

15. Trump trolls have a special kind of hate for him.

[oberliner]

17. As do Bill de Blasio supporters

Since he has been trashing the Democratic mayor of NYC repeatedly on twitter.

[Kingofalldems]

18. Ironic post.

[oberliner]

19. Here are some of Rick Wilson's tweets about Bill de Blasio (D)

From Rick Wilson's twitter feed:

How will NYC suffer under de Blasio? Gradually, then suddenly.

Also relevant to De Blasio's tenure: 20 years of pent-up Dem/liberal demand for activism, money, appointments, power.

That De Blasio invests so much political energy to destroy charter schools for disadvantaged kids speaks poorly of his character.

Comrade DeBlasio (like so many) secretly sees merit as unfairness.

DeBlasio proposes broadband welfare. Because of course he does.

But it's not like we didn't WARN you that De Blasio is a union thug with a revenge agenda wrapped in feel-good prog rhetoric.

And on and on and on....

Here's the most recent one (from yesterday):

20. Trying too hard.

[oberliner]

23. Rick Wilson is a vile human being who devoted most of his adult life to attacking Democrats

[Kingofalldems]

25. There you go.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He does good work going after Trump, too bad you don't like it.

[Kingofalldems]

21. Here you go:

[oberliner]

24. Rick Wilson is a right-winger and close friend of Rudy Giuliani

And regular attacker of Bill de Blasio.

He is a man who has devoted his life to attacking Democrats.

[OnDoutside]

29. Also Ironically, there were posters on this thread working to take Al Franken down. True fact.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Yes, multiple OPs for days.

[oberliner]

16. He is currently bashing Bill de Blasio on twitter

[OnDoutside]

27. Not Rick, but I love this one "Watergate for Slow Learners" :)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. The enemy of my enemy might not be my friend, but

as long as he's the enemy of my enemy I'm satisfied. Anyhow, Wilson is funny as hell.

[oberliner]

31. He is the friend of one of our enemies (Rudy G)

And the enemy of one of our friends (Bill de Blasio).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. He's the enemy of our arch-enemy, and I'll take it.

Rudy will keep stepping on rakes regardless of anything Rick Wilson says, and I'm not too worried about Bill De Blasio.

[MariaCSR]

37. "stepping on rakes"

I hollared!

[Gothmog]

35. Nunes silence says a great deal
