What is one to make of El Supremo’s sweaty, long-running mancrush on stunning Slavic muscleboy Vladimir Putin,1 aka (in Donnie’s dreams) Vlad the Impaler? Is it just a thuggish admiration society, the way Hitler had it in for Mussolini? Secret investments in a polar pipeline? Or maybe the whole golden shower thing? Well, who knows,…

Donald Trump, so awful he scares Josh Rogin
How the time flies! It seems like it was just two days ago that Josh Rogin, perhaps the Washington Post’s most two-fistedest “Global Opinions” opinionator, was coming down hard on the Trump Administration for not providing Ukraine with, you know, “Javelin antitank missiles, anti-battery radar that can see into Russian territory, and state-of-the-art intelligence capabilities…
Watch Jonah Goldberg morph into Donald Trump
Yes, it’s taken awhile. National Review conservatives like Jonah Goldberg were repelled by Donald Trump’s vicious nativism, his embrace of those good people who shout “Jews, you will not replace us”, plus all his wild talk about how we shouldn’t be in Afghanistan and that he always thought the invasion of Iraq was a bad…
Mitch McConnell’s pathetic ego versus Donald Trump’s pathetic ego
In the annals of ignominious pusillanimity1, few events gleam with a more sickly hue than the recent spat between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump over who was “more” responsible for the “not repeal and not replace” ObamaCare debacle a few months back. It’s only “fitting”, I suppose, that Donnie was “right”:…
Ramesh Ponnuru gives advice to Donald Trump—Yes, he’s that stupid
Over at the National Review, Ramesh Ponnuru provides some serious right-wing inside baseball regarding whatever the fuck it is Donald Trump is doing playing footsie with Nancy for God’s sake Pelosi—which, if you like serious, right-wing inside baseball, is worth reading. But in his final paragraph, mighty Ramesh whiffs mightily, as it were, with the…
Donald Trump, Defender of the Faith
Donald Trump’s recent semi-hemi-demi blood and soil speech, delivered during his visit to Poland, has provoked an hilarious outpouring of “thought” on the part of the Right, everyone from the National Review’s David French to Noah Millman at the American Conservative, to name two writers whom I frequently read without extensive sniggering. I’m not going…
Who is worse, Donald Trump or the Republican Congress?
Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Do Republican members of Congress tweet absurd, scurrilous, and/or libelous messages that frequently contradict or disrupt the Administration’s own policies, to the extent that the Administration rarely pursues a course of action over a measurable period of time with enough self-consistency to be called a policy? Do they tell grotesque…
Donald Trump, a shande far the Jews
Jennifer Rubin gives us goys a break, and a laugh, by explaining just how many Jewish toes got stepped on by Donald “Big Belly” Trump when the Donald decided he wouldn’t be moving the American embassy to Israel to Jerusalem, as he had promised that he really, really would. As Rubin notes, it’s pretty much…
Donald Trump = American Retreat
Damn straight we’re retreating. We’ve had it with that Europe thing, damn Germans selling us all their damn Beemers n’ Benzes, n’ fuckin’ Audis and won’t buy a damn Cadillac to save their souls. That’s what I like about Russia, you know? They don’t make a damn thing, and if you need a little extra…
Jonah Goldberg, taking 10,000 words (more or less) to suggest that he really really wishes Donald Trump wasn’t president
Jonah Goldberg has a weekly (I guess) column at the National Review called “The G-File”, in which he raps, often at no mean length, about what it means to be the G-Man. In the current iteration, Jonah seems to have a lot on his mind, but his thoughts don’t quite come trippingly to the tongue,…
