this is what they used to call a screaming meme

[be-baw]

Why do promote crap like this?

[kempster]

Hey moron, the establishment likes the norms. The rest of us think they all suck and want new norms because yours just aren’t normal.

“President Trump has created exactly such a crisis.”

You’ve been working to create it for decades, you despicable POS.

[marktwain]

Great nations and proud democracies fall when their systems become so corrupted that the decay is not even noticed — or the rot is written off as a normal part of politics.

Projection on steroids! This is exactly why President Trump was elected. Drain the Swamp!

[Puppage]

and his own party is broadly complicit in enabling his attacks on truth, decency and democratic values.

That's the heaviest load of BS I've read in a loooong time.

[mason-dixon]

Two aphorisms....

"Elections have consequences."

"The shoe is on the other foot."

[sargon]

E. J. Dionne is an Establishment laughingstock...

[Hayzo]

Wow! Talk about a parallel universe! I guess US history started with the Obama years with this guy!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“E.J. Dionne Jr.”

I had NO idea this guy was white! The race-baiting articles I’ve read from him lead me to assume that he was a man of color.

Man, that’s some big load of White Guilt he’s carrying! Couple that with his, ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ and he’s going to need the hospital room next to Conyers to recover from his breakdown! *SNORT*

He got it right! But the funny this is, he hit the nail on the head but he doesn't even know it.

or when those charged to sound the alarms instead turn their heads and joining the parade of foools thus confirming for all to see who they really are.

We’re a long way from a “truce.”

You said it E.J.
We have just begun to fight!

[SunStar]

Hey, E.J., elections have consequences. 30 out of 50 states voted for Trump’s agenda. Deal with it.

The knee-jerk overreaction and misinterpretation/misrepresentation of his tweets enables him to keep us laughing at liberals and the media.

If they would stop taking his bait we wouldn’t have as much fun. But I doubt that’s the enabling this article is referring to.

E. J. Dionne Jr.'s lack of self-awareness is both laughable and pathetic.

He evidently slept through 8 years of Obamunist corruption, and demagoguery, and incitement of racial hatred, and criminality, and rejecction of all norms of decency and truthfulness, with nary a complaint.

Of course that's because E. J. Dionne Jr. heartily endorses Obama's brand of corruption, and demagoguery, and incitement of racial hatred, and criminality, and rejecction of all norms of decency and truthfulness.

Well said!
