But since he now routinely denounces tRump, I read him carefully and completely.

I'm not sure what happened, but he and I are now on the same side when it comes to tRump.

I couldn't be happier!

I may disagree with their opinions, but there's a difference between being an intellectual with the wrong opinion and being a decerebrate moron.

The biggest problem we have right now is that however many principled conservatives are speaking out against the atrocity currently underway in the Executive Branch, almost none of them is in a position to actually do anything about it. Conservatives in Congress are too afraid of losing the Orange One's base to do the right thing and act on behalf of the country.

I couldn't stand reading her. Her column used to be called "Right Turn," not anymore, it's just "Jennifer Rubin." The Post brought her on after the Tea Party won so many seats in 2010. She really loathes Trump, not sure if she still considers herself to be a 'puke or not. For some reason, I've taken to enjoying and liking conservative attacks on Trump more so than liberal attacks. I'm sure though, once Dems return to power, she and Boot will return to their old ways
