Im not complaining, but nothing about this organization is terribly newsworthy today.
I think we should add a new test: where did these people stand on the issue of investigating all venality in Ukraine? It is clear that many rinos in the Senate have "put down their spears" and will continue to turn a blind eye to this rank corruption.
This corruption, described by Peter Schweitzer, is likely so persuasive that it poses an existential threat to the Republican Party. The hypocrisy of investigating only Joe Biden but no Republican is so glaring that it will leave the base as deflated in 2020 or 2022 as it was in 2008 and 2018, and for very much the same reason. The Democrats for their part have never been troubled about being hypocrites.
The rule of opposites:
Whenever an organization has “democracy” in their name they are opposed to democracy.
Plus, Kristol is a follower of Leo Strauss—Leo Strauss _hated_ democracy and believed in Plato’s “Noble Lie”.
Of course, folks here know Kristol is a liar, and Kristol’s lies aren’t noble ones.

“but nothing about this organization is terribly newsworthy today”
other than the fact that Kristo’s PAC was running vicious TV ads in blue states with GOP Senators up for re-election, trying to intimidate and bully those Senators in turning against President Trump ... that is, Kristol has now launched attacks against not just President Trump, but the GOP as a whole ... I’d say that’s damn newsworthy!
Kristol continues to have delusions of adequacy.
What a waste of oxygen and planetary assets!
Bill Kristol has lost any credibility he might have once possessed. The rise and fall of the Weekly Standard is a microcosm of his entire career.
