“WTF is up with these #NeverTRUMPers?”

Their money comes from government.

He’s warming up for his new employers at MSNBC.

His Hillary cuck holster was getting cold after she "withdrew" from national politics... 😀

Will doesn’t understand what Trump said? How lame. Read it again George, slowly. You can do this.

George Will isn't a Conservative, so much as a hard core GOPe-er. He's a progressive, in as much as he's a fan of big, centralized government.

George has fallen so far, so fast, that his inner ears are all messed up - he doesn’t seem to be able to recognize which end is up. He’s also catering to the lib “News” job he finally went nuts enough to qualify for.

The statement about Frederick Douglass was both historically and syntactically correct.

If Will's quotation is accurate, no.

The quote is, “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.”

The error is, "who's done". It should be, "who did". Because the doer (1818-1895) is long gone and isn't going to be doing anymore.

Present perfect tense ("has done") vs simple past tense ("did").

While the present perfect may indicate the action is ongoing, it doesn’t necessarily. It would not be the preferred usage, but it is not incorrect.

The error would be if he used the present “is doing.”

Dear Liz,

That just exponentially multiplied the number of murders the Clintons are directly responsible for!

He’s still mostly concerned about being invited to Georgetown parties and having the “right” people come to his own affairs when invited.
