No real surprise that Conrad Black looks up to a guy who can commit fraud for years without getting sent to prison for it.

To follow the apparently disinterested soldier-statesman, Eisenhower, and the agile bridge between the Goldwater Right and the Rockefeller Left, Nixon, and the artist of Morning in America, Reagan, comes now the man who will recapture the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt from the faint and ineffectual dissenters from the Clintons and Obama of the post-Reagan years.

they always hated Ike didn't they

Republican Party now "like a house on fire with more flammable parts yet to come"

Tweet deleted.

lol just cos their tweet cms made it look like an editorial and not just part of the daily churn

man rich lowry really is a little feeb, they never should have fired john derbyshire imo, like fuck who cares if an old imperial racist writes for a conservative magazine? just as matter of business sense he could have had the whole alt-right vs ex-bush sad man right civil war happening within his own pages. dummy.

guess who:

But Republicans might ask themselves, “What does it mean that George Bush won’t vote for our nominee? What have we done, to lose George Bush? Is it worth it? Is it right?”

My guess is, a decision to vote for Hillary Clinton was painful to Bush. She is the wife of the man who defeated him for reelection in 1992. I bet he has never voted Democratic in his entire life.

And, as I note in my column, he knows a thing or two about the world. He flew against the Japanese — the youngest pilot in the Navy. He was a congressman. U.N. ambassador. Envoy to China. CIA director. Vice president. President. He has had a few intelligence briefings.

He knows the dangers, and he knows the stakes. He may even know as much as Trump.

So, if I were a Republican, I would not just write Bush off, or damn him as a RINO and traitor, etc. I would engage in some “serious self-reflection,” to borrow a term (an annoying one) from President Obama. What have we done to push George Bush into the arms of Hillary Clinton?

I found it somewhat flabbergasting that Hillary Clinton would voluntarily accuse Donald Trump of considering pregnancy and inconvenience. Abortion didn’t come up last night, and yet she managed to remind me of her extremism on this front. I get why she did – that is an awfully painful commercial to watch, her campaign’s, running the videotape of Trump talking about women – but her lack of self-awareness on this issue is telling.

did Clinton say anything remotely controversial or unexpected on this topic?

well, she breathes oxygen

I'm disappointed NRO hasn't sunk to the challenge of the election, and this thread's more than two years old

KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ apparently cannot conceive of a life in which an unplanned pregnancy is potentially an economic, psychological and personal catastrophe. In her world all abortions are performed because the woman felt inconvenienced by pregnancy.

in her world jack chick tracts are documentaries

Every one of'em has a column reminding readers that he or she did not support Trump.

they really are [a little] smarter than the average republican

Not that much smarter. They were shocked, shocked to find white nationalism in their establishment after all.

just a little smarter and just a [very] little bit less bigoted.

oh man:

First, before accusing Trump of sexually assaulting women, it’s useful to remember that the only evidence we have of this is Trump’s own words. Unlike Bill Clinton, who has been accused by more than one actual, named, flesh-and-blood woman of everything from unwanted exposure (Paula Jones) to unwanted groping (Kathleen Willey) to rape (Juanita Broaddrick), we’ve yet to hear from a woman (other than a dubious lawsuit aimed at Trump and Clinton crony Jeffrey Epstein) or a witness of any kind to say that Trump actually ever did any of the things he claimed. Now, it would not surprise me if he had, given the attitude he displays in the video, given what we know of his sexual and marital history, and given Trump’s broader outrageous sense of entitlement. But if we have learned nothing else this entire campaign, we should have learned by now that just because Donald Trump says something doesn’t make it so. That’s doubly true when Trump is in full Trump mode, trying to impress another man with tales of what an alpha-dog Master of the Universe he is.

Second, there’s been a fair amount of hand-wringing among feminists and other social liberals over the entire concept of “locker room talk” – over men talking to other men about women and sex (especially their sexual conquests) in terms they would not use if a woman was around. Like most men, I’ve been around my share of conversations of this type, mostly in my teens and early twenties in the company of young men who are unmarried and hormonally overcharged. At some level, it’s not a phenomenon we could ever hope to completely eradicate, nor would it be completely desirable to do so (whatever you may hear from people who think masculinity itself should be abolished, we would not have gotten very far as a species without it). Women do have an ineradicable need for times and places to let their hair down and talk girl talk, and while boy talk may be rougher and different, men have the same need, especially when they are young and still figuring out the world and the opposite sex.

The next paragraph contradicts the second entirely.

a witness of any kind to say that Trump actually ever did any of the things he claimed

this is demonstrably untrue wtf

there are tons of witnesses and accusers!

Pffft -- WOMAN witnesses and accusers. They're hardly credible what with their hysterias and cycles and what have you.

at last -- this is the NRO we love:http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/441007/podesta-e-mails-catholic-church-middle-ages-dictatorship

Women do have an ineradicable need for times and places to let their hair down and talk girl talk, and while boy talk may be rougher and different, men have the same need, especially when they are young and still figuring out the world and the opposite sex.

a) this is bullshit anyway and b) Trump was 59 at the time.

heh

Meanwhile, Democrats fight tooth and nail against every commonsense measure to protect election integrity – paring the state voter rolls of those who have died or moved away, proof of identification, proof of citizenship, etc. And heading into last night’s debate, the day’s big story was the exposure of two top Democratic operatives who specialize in voter fraud and sabotaging campaign events.

Why on earth would anyone, least of all Trump, presume the legitimacy of an election that hasn’t happened yet when it is open and notorious that the other side is cheating and insists on maintaining the systemic vulnerabilities that allow it to cheat? Particularly when Democrats from Al Gore and Bill Clinton on down did not accept the result of Bush’s election, and Democrats framed him as illegitimate even after their legal challenges were exhausted (and then frame the Supreme Court as illegitimate for upholding the election result).

Get ready for this shit over the next few days:

It is completely irresponsible to argue that a president who reaches 270 electoral votes is not “elected” and legitimate, right, Hillary Clinton? Only a shameless partisan with no concern for democracy or our system of government would insist that president is not elected, long after he’s taken the oath of office. Trump is insanely irresponsible to suggest that this election may be rigged and the outcome fraudulent. Why, who on earth would ever make such a charge?

At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been “selected” president, not elected, Newsweek reports in the current issue. Oh. That’s from October 2002.

As someone mentioned on cable this morning, the reason the case was Bush v. Gore was not because court cases are listed alphabetically, it was because Bush was the one who initiated court proceedings, so technically it wasn't Gore contesting the results.

Bush sued to stop the recount iirc

The counter to this ridiculous line is pretty obvious: if the deciding factor of this election comes down to a few hundred votes then by all means Trump should challenge it. If there is an unambiguous winner, then he should STFU.

So resigned these days that this was a headline:

Smokers Earn Less Than Non-Smokers, but Doesn’t Mean They Are Discriminated Against

And that's OK. and here's why.

lololol:

All of these illegal votes canceled the votes of legitimate voters, and if Justin Timberlake voted illegally in Memphis, he also negated the vote of a legitimate resident of Tennessee. While we can joke about celebrity hijinks (and Timberlake has certainly had his share of those), voter fraud is no joking matter. No one should be allowed to get away with such fraud, no matter who they are. Even Justin Timberlake.
