The Time to Resist Is Already Here: Do Not Go Gentle
The Bulwark ^ | November 15, 2024 | Bill Kristol

Posted on 11/17/2024 9:26:13 PM PST by lowbridge

What a cavalcade of kooks and creeps Donald Trump is trotting out for positions of trust and responsibility in the United States government! If the character and quality of the individuals running the most important government agencies weren’t a serious matter, one could almost sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

-snip

Come on, now. If Democrats wanted to demonstrate the Republicans’ lack of a gag reflex, they can consider that point amply proven over the last few days. Now it’s time to make clear to the public just why these nominees are so nauseating, so worth gagging at.

It’s true that the ultimate problem isn’t Gabbard or Kennedy or Gaetz or Hegseth. The problem is Trump. We’re stuck with him for the next four years. But for that reason, weakening Trump politically at the beginning of his term is important. The place to start is by doing everything possible to defeat a bunch of his nominees. That will require Republican votes in the Senate. But one way to get some Republican votes is for Democrats to create outrage at Trump’s nominees, who are so unfit for the offices they’re being named to. Democrats can make clearer the level of governmental degradation their GOP colleagues are willing to accept.

“Democrats to create outrage at Trump’s nominees”

Gee, that’s a new Dem strategy. How do you slime nominees after calling Trump Hitler? Dems have cried wolf too often already.

Resist what, Bill?

Cheaper gasoline?
Less expensive groceries?
No more pointless foreign wars?
A Federal government that doesn’t spy on us, lie to us, and try to control every single facet of our lives?

And why should we resist those things, Bill? Just because you don’t like the man who’s going to make all that happen?

Whatever happened to Barf Alerts?

Seriously. Anything by the son of the first Neocon should have it all caps.

Man, that Trump is really dragging out the weirdos ... Pete Buttigeig, Rachel Levine, Sam Brinton, Tim Walz ...

Oh, wait ...

It was Harris/Biden 'trotting out' a 'cavalcade' of 'kooks and creeps'.

Once again, they accuse us of what THEY are doing.

Wow! That's exactly how I felt during the 0bama and O'Biden administrations.

@BillKristol
Bill,
You just made it obvious that you are unqualified to write about President Trump....

I would imagine the suckers who paid big money to go on one of those “GOP” cruises with this hack, feel pretty stupid these days.

Kristol was never a favorite of mine.

I never liked the guy.

Didn’t Kristol used to pretend to be a conservative?

Bill Kristol would rather have bald cross dressing weirdos that steal women’s luggage.

Anyone remember Kristol objecting to ANY of Biden's choices? I'm guess he didn't object to one. What a friggin loser.

Funny how they were “Defending Democracy” until people voted.

He was always a Monarchist kind of “conservative”—wanted to preserve the pre World War I royal families of Europe—lol.

He has always thought the peasants were revolting.

One more time! They’re not fit for office and numerous other disparaging remarks, but not one word as to any evidence of such unfitness.

Just another democrap chick saying if you don’t know why I’m mad at you, I’m not going to tell you.
