In a hypothetical world where George Will is an intelligent, objective man instead of a paid political propagandist, he might note the following:

1. During the President's first two years in office, he would have signed any bill the GOP Congress put on his desk. He has not vetoed a single bill in two years.

2. Did President Trump tell the GOP House to pass a half-assed ObamaCare "repeal" bill in 2017? No -- Paul Ryan and the GOP House did that on their own.

3. Did President Trump tell the GOP Senate not to pass even their half-half-assed ObamaCare "repeal" bill in 2017? No -- that beloved Beltway maverick @sshole John McCain did that on his own.

4. Did President Trump tell the GOP Congress to pass ongoing continuing resolutions -- which changed absolutely nothing that would address Washington's fiscal insanity -- to fund the government for the last two years? No -- Congress did that without any help from Trump.

5. How can you possibly lay any of this at Trump's feet when his proposed budget was a hell of a lot different than what Congress passed as their "omnibus spending bill" in May 2018?

lost its capacity for embarrassment, which is even worse.


How embarrassed was the country when the Congress passed Obamacare without a single lawmaker having read it?

How embarrassed was the country when Obama spent a trillion dollars for shovel-ready infrastructure work, only to admit that the jobs were not shovel-ready after all.

How embarrassed were you, George, when a reporter asked you why you never commented on Whitewater and the Murder at Mt Marcy Park? Did you embarrass yourself by saying, “I’m not interested in that sort of thing”?

Georgie Will's career as a political commentator and sometime journalist, was effectively over when he picked the wrong side in this fight against Trump.

History will be favorable to Trump as president and all of those who hated him will be relegated to the round file, Will included.

If he had sided with Trump and done commentary on his successes since taking office, poor little Georgie would have lost all of those invitations to the Deep Stater's cocktail parties. Can't have that.

He made the wrong choice and it shows.

George Will misses the main point of conservativism.

The President, the Presidency, should not be that important. The government and politicians should not be that important.

The US, America, is the people, the society, the economy, the churches, the football games, the family devoid of government.

When George Will makes an government power or person representative of America, he has ceased being a conservative and is a STATIST.

George Will is an atheist who considers himself a Supreme Being.

, the nation faces a $1 trillion deficit


George, you’re no better than CNN. Trump submitted a budget that slashed spending and did not add to the debt. Speaker Ryan took one look at it, shrugged, and threw it in the trash. You want to bash someone for the deficit, bash the Congress.

Dear George:

I had reservations about Trump. I got over it and so should you. Instead of hacking Trump up, maybe you should work with him and things will get done that you like. That is what Mitch and Lindsay are doing and it is working out just fine.

Have a nice day, George

Dear George Will,

If we were writing what we think about YOU every day, by now you would be in rehab somewhere trying to get off all your antidepressants.

While Pres. Trump continues to successfully rebuff your ankle biting and run the greatest country in the world -— fulfilling his promises on top of it all!!!

I remember that before the Reagan Revolution Will was about the best you could hope for as a conservative voice. As the Republicans moved right, he has moved left.

In his writing, George borrows heavily from the book, "Big words, a compendium of words that nobody but you knows and will make you look smart."

incessantly splenetic presidency, daily mortifications

Give me a break.

I ran some of this article through the Text Readability Consensus Calculator. It rated 'difficult to read.' Hey George, quit being a linguistic showoff and write for your audience.

A man who speaks plainly and does what he says he will do is shabby in George Wills universe. That’s one shabby universe, man.
The fact that the shabby man was empowered by ALL of the other politicians who conciously lied to their fellow Americans in order to serve a small group of elites doesn’t weigh on George Will. Creep.

George Will’s audience is his wife.

He writes these beta male tropes so she’ll let him watch her put on her stockings.

What snobbery could we expect from Will’s pen had the beast with one back from Arkansas won instead of Trump?

The comments by the superiorists who read and believe the compost are more alarming than Will’s piece.
