Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing.
Last June, a Trump Cabinet meeting featured testimonials offered to Dear Leader by his forelock-tugging colleagues. His chief of staff, Reince Priebus, caught the spirit of the worship service by thanking Trump for the “blessing” of being allowed to serve him. The hosannas poured forth from around the table, unredeemed by even a scintilla of insincerity. Priebus was soon deprived of his blessing, as was Tom Price. Before Price’s ecstasy of public service was truncated because of his incontinent enthusiasm for charter flights, he was the secretary of health and human services who at the Cabinet meeting said, “I can’t thank you enough for the privileges you’ve given me.” The vice president chimed in but saved his best riff for a December Cabinet meeting when, as The Post’s Aaron Blake calculated, Pence praised Trump once every 12 seconds for three minutes: “I’m deeply humbled. . . . ” Judging by the number of times Pence announces himself “humbled,” he might seem proud of his humility, but that is impossible because he is conspicuously devout and pride is a sin.
Between those two Cabinet meetings, Pence and his retinue flew to Indiana for the purpose of walking out of an Indianapolis Colts football game, thereby demonstrating that football players kneeling during the national anthem are intolerable to someone of Pence’s refined sense of right and wrong.

There was a time when Will’s desire to prove he was superior to everyone had a charm to it...now it’s devolved into mean-spirited pettiness.
Monica: (also reading it) It doesn’t make any sense.
Joey: Of course it does! It’s smart! I used the the-saurus!
Chandler: On every word?
Joey: Yep!
Monica: Alright, what was this sentence originally? (shows the sentence to Joey)
Joey: Oh, ‘They are warm, nice, people with big hearts’.
Chandler: And that became ‘they are humid prepossessing Homo Sapiens with full sized aortic pumps...?
Joey: Yeah, yeah and hey, I really mean it, dude.

Hahahaha...that’s pretty funny!
I used to kind of like that show...that was the last time I really watched much television, back in the mid-nineties...
I love both onions and garlic. I would liken it to; having to choose between dog and cat poop for the topping on your Ribeye steak.
Heh: Thesaurus Rex.
“George Will has jumped the shark”
You just now noticing, he has been a non Trumper from way back!
You’re a deranged POS, George Will. Enjoy the twilight writing for the adversary.
No and No. next question is never and only snarky country club pseudo GOPe types ever did.
“…We are in an ideological war. From a Marxist viewpoint, an atheistic mind is already three-fourths conquered.”Of course, Mr. Will is far more than 75 percent conquered at this point; maybe 99%?
— The Naked Communist, chapter 12
George Will was once great and fun to read. These days why would anyone follow him anywhere?
Since Will thought Hillary would make a great President, the fact that he finds fault with Trump and Pence speaks great decibels on their behalf.
It’s my go-to George Will meme now!
Pence did a very credible job as governor of Indiana and was well liked, albeit boring.

LOL. Every time I try to listen to him give a speech, I can’t do it for more than about 30 seconds. He really is boring. It’s not his fault, though. Some people have the “It” factor (and DJT has the max), and some do not. They are like polar opposites in this regard, which kind of balances them out as a team.
Even when he ostensibly was “one of us” when he became famous in the 1980s, Will merely road the coat tails of the Reagan revolution (and made a lot of money off of it). He was never influential.
And George Will is still the biggest faggot in journalism.
Er, right behind Shep-hard Smith.

George - This sentence gets an F. Your big word usage is high, but there is redundancy.
“George Will has jumped the shark.”
Each time I think he has, he does it again.
This seems to the worst so far.
Give him a break, he had a deadline and he had to take time out of his 24/7 glue sniffing to come up with SOMETHING and this horsecrap was the best he could do with so few brain cells left.
He still does help move our football forward (e.g., 2014, the Left attacked him for writing "when [colleges and universities] make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges, victims proliferate")... but he also has more and more moments like this, sadly.
