My Brother Kevin’s Not Tired of Winning
New York Times? Really? ^ | 11-24-17 | Maureen Dowd? Really?

Posted on 11/24/2017 4:03:55 PM PST by Angels27

Wherever I go, people ask me the same question: “How can he?” How can Kevin support President Trump? Why isn’t he bothered by all the things others find appalling and frightening? Thanksgiving weekend is here, so it’s time for my Republican brother to share his bounteous harvest of thoughts: Every time I hear Neil Gorsuch’s name, I smile. It has been a year since Donald Trump was elected, and his thrill-a-minute White House is still causing acid reflux for half the country and all of the mainstream media. There is always a lot of background noise buzzing around the president, and it’s catnip for his detractors. Full disclosure: I am not a Trump disciple. His manners offend me and the tweeting is overdone, but I do admire his resiliency against an unrelenting and unfair press. His tweeting is annoying, but it can be an effective defense. He has 43.2 million Twitter followers. The New York Times has 3.1 million subscribers. Trump got into office because of Congress’s inability or unwillingness to do its job. The voters were so fed up, they turned to a reality TV star instead of the 20 politicians on the menu. (Or 20.5 if you want to count Martin O’Malley.) Trump delivered on his promises to shake things up with a slew of executive orders undoing much of Barack Obama’s burdensome regulations and, more important, started to reshape the lower courts decimated by Obama’s appointments. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court may be his most lasting legacy.

I think the image should have been posted using the “width=xxx” modifier in the img tag.
Other than being way over sized, she’s beaut.

“I agree. Me thinks Ms. Dowd lost a bet, and Kevin got to submit a column under her byline.”

Sounds like she does this every Thanksgiving (i.e. righting a column from her brother's perspective). It's not her perspective, but I admire her for doing it.

Yes, very admirable. Sounds like she comes from a good family, but she took a left turn, somewhere. Wonder if she even still believes the leftist bs, but has to keep her job. Thanks

Why isn’t he bothered by all the things others find appalling and frightening? Maybe because those things don’t actually exist.

No, that's Mr. Dowd.

Wow, how can they be so diametrically opposed yet as I assume come from the same parents? Nature versus nurture? Post-adolescent life experience? Spousal influence?

righting a column

Yep, happens once a year. Otherwise, she is wronging a column.

Believing it or not, it was spellcheck (I mistyped, and this was the correction). I didn't notice. In this case, two wrongs made a right.

Thought that might be the case but it was too delicious a typo to let go unused :)

Yep. I would have done the same. Incidentally, even in my last post the spellcheck changed ‘believe’ to ‘believing’. What a pain..
