WAPO had an opinion piece the other day by the loathsome Marc Thiessan. He was encouraging Trump not to run again, but he slobbered all over him in the process. Sample quote:’ Based on his record in office, Trump should be considered one of the greatest conservative presidents in modern times.’ I really resent paying good money to read crap like this every week from a crazy right wing shill. As if George Will wasn’t bad enough.
