King Kong Trump, Losing His Grip

[Zorro]

A steaming mad president is running out of steam.

By Maureen Dowd

During the Barack Obama comet streak in 2008, a lot of Americans were electrified by the idea of leaping into modernity with a brainy, young, Black cool cat.

Now a lot of Americans seem resigned yet relieved to step back in time with a sentimental old-school Irish pol who was born the year Bing Crosby topped the charts with “White Christmas.”

Back to a time when the president did not rubbish people like an insult comic. Back to a time when the president did not peddle his own lethal reality. Back to a time when the president cared about the whole country, not just the part that voted for him. Back to a time when the president didn’t dismiss science, treat the Justice Department like his personal legal defense firm, besmirch the intelligence community, and denigrate the F.B.I. for not doing his bidding. Back to a time when the president behaved like an adult, not a delinquent.

You can only let King Kong, as Don McGahn, Trump’s first White House counsel, dubbed his former boss, smash up the metropolis for so long.

2. Wow. What have we here? Maureen Dowd with her trivializing sensibility drooling over...

...one of the most important elections in history.

This is the mindless ass who thought that the 2000 election was about Al Gore's suit.

She's not funny, although she thinks she is; she is not witty, although she thinks she is; she's not very bright or incisive although she thinks she is.

Sorry Lady, but Joe Biden is not Bing Crosby; he's a highly experienced political leader who has something about which you know nothing: Decency. He has come forward to save his country.

Got it? No?

Screw off, lady. Screw off.

I'm sure the 100,000 or more Iraqis who died question whether your focus on Al Gore's suit was actually amusing.

3. You nailed it, Nadir

You got her, and you got her good.

I’ll never forgive idiots like Dowd and Margaret Carlson, laughing at Gore’s “earth tone” suits and any other ridiculous thing they could pounce on. Unfunny. pathetic and egregiously stupid and irresponsible.
