Jennifer Rubin: “I Can No Longer Identify with the Republican Party”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/21/2018 8:18:31 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Jennifer . . .

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin has now joined with Joe Scarborough as a proud member of the Society of Ex-Republican Media Members.

Appearing on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, Rubin declared:

“It should be self-evident why I, and I think any reasonable person, can no longer identify with the Republican party.”

Rubin was responding to a Republican commercial [see below] on immigration, highlighting the case of illegal immigrant Luis Bracamontes, accused of killing two police officers. Bracamontes bragged in court: “the only thing that I f—–g regret is that I f—–g just killed two.”

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

I think the DC ecosystem (Swamp) is more fragile than many think. DJT just needs to produce the right stresses or perturbations to destabilize it. Like in nature, it doesn’t take much to upset the balance. He is doing a great job at it so far.

The all important first step was to label the Swamp for what it is. And that label has surely stuck. DJT has also fully exposed and weakened the power of the media.

As you so aptly put it, he is cracking a hole in the terrarium.

yes, and also David Frum, once with the Bush White House and now writing rabidly anti-Trump stuff for The Atlantic.

HA! She can take it with her.

The Washington Post should fire her and get a new token Republican so they have “diversity of opinion” in their discussions! I bet she never thought of that when she was making her lame pronouncements.

It’s alright, Jennifer. The surprising thing is that you managed to sleep with WaPo’s Marxist dogs for as long as you did without getting their fleas. To be honest, though, we’d been seeing some suspicious itching for quite a while.

David Weigel, Ross Douhat, the Weekly Standard and most of National Review dance with the devil to varying degrees of post-debauch depravity. Peggy Noonan folds like a Murphy bed and Maureen Callahan, of the New York Post for god’s sake, bit into the never-Trumper burger and flushed her credibility down the old loo. Write if you get better, and we’ll leave some dog food out for you.

She’s a Green Line matron who was transplanted into a (forced-meme) wannabe DC RINO and she couldn’t.even.rise to the level of a fraud ... WaPo has given her a platform precisely because of that fact ... she’s a rube, a schlemiel. At least FatAna Navarro makes no bones about voting Democrat.

Jennifer, you'll be missed. NOT!!

Maybe the WaPo will let conservatives pick their spokesperson? Sorry, a ridiculous thought, I don't know what came over me.

David Frum, once with the Bush White House

I hardly think that allegiance to someone [Bush] who gave socialists what they wanted so that he could support globalists and crony capitalists to be a ringing endorsement of a died in the wool conservative.

Yes, the “looks” quotient of supposed ‘Republican” bloggers just increased by 10 percent.

The one who fries my ass is Judith Miller on FNC. Friday or Saturday, within a half-hour span, Judith Miller AND Jessica Tarlov were flapping their gums. Then a quick email to FNC that some veiwers have a low gag reflex, and they need to do better scheduling.

What a picture of this cretin. Did someone just present her with the fact that she is subhuman?

And you were genius in describing the ecosystem.

The swamp has lived off a class of people who have been lied to for a long time. Woe to the swamp as the truth trickles out. Like with this memo. Some of the Gullible Americans will instantly wake up and be as pissed as the smart East Germanswhen the Wall came down, realizing they’d been tricked all those years. (But let’s be real: the cognitive dissonance for some will be too great and they will cling to their captives like with Stockholm syndrome.)

Jennifer Rubin is an archetypal neocon.

Agreed, and I would never endorse Frum in his Bush days.... I only meant that he once made a bit more of a pretense at claiming to be conservative, however dubious it was then....
