Trump: “Dear Democrats. I am very sorry I did not commit any impeachable offenses. Thank You.”

When did NR become evil? I used to read them years ago (bush years) and stopped. But I had no idea they’d ever “turn” this far!?!

Here is an unfortunate truth: Apologies never appease real political enemies.

Here's another truth: Donald Trump has probably never issued a public apology in his life. Advising him to do so right now is like telling Michael Moore to run the New York City Marathon on Sunday.

National Review introduced me to conservatism when I was in college. Read it continually while Bill Buckley was in charge.

IIRC, WFB handed off running the magazine before he passed away. Without his guidance NR started heading off the rails.

Haven’t read it since. Bowtie cucks are now in charge.

I don’t think that’s true.

Mind you, I am not defending Jonah.

But he’s always beat his own drum, for his own, reasons, at the behest of no man.

He just starting beating the wrong tune.

Pretty much started to slide when WFB died.

That, and their slobbering over Romney.

Yeah, right.
My version of an apology would be “Do you read or understand sign language?”

Yeah, and tossing bloody chum into the water is a good way to get the sharks to go away.

These media pukes are the same Journalism majors who sat in your mass communications class. The ones I saw were weird as hell.

“He was on his way to being a great one.”

You must have seen something in him I didn’t. I always thought he was a sophomoric writer.

Dear jackass jonahhh,

Rule No. 6 – Never say you’re sorry. It’s a sign of weakness.

Not sure what happened to Jonah.“

For most Never Trumpers, it’s Trumps criticism of the Iraq war and the Bush-Obama-Hillary foreign policy of interventionist regime-change wars. Republicans were supporting this neocon agenda until Trump came along and spoke against it. As for a precise date, NeverTrumpism was born after the South Carolina debate when Trump denounced George W Bush for invading Iraq

Not sure that this is what’s behind Jonahs animosity toward Trump, but it wouldn’t surprise me

No idea who this is, but he makes my point for me.

“Politically, not criminally”

So then where do “crimes and misdemeanors” come in?

The transcript doesn’t read like that at all. How could someone be extorted about a payment they say they were unaware of?

No Investigation ever happened.
The money was all sent.

What tangible benefit, a report on Biden, was produced and given to Trump? Biden WILL NOT even survive the primary.

Jonah Goldberg must really hate CONSERVATISM. The mystery is why.

Never has an apology helped a republican. The Media is the propaganda arm of the democratic party.

Jonah, that would be the same as someone laying open a vein in a room full of vampires, you frickin’ moron.
