WASHINGTON — When it comes to presidential obstruction, at least Watergate started with a crime. A stupid crime, but a crime.
After 675 days, more than 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, $30 million spent, endless jaw-jaw on cable and countless whiny Trump tweets, we have come down to one fundamental truth.
And it’s the same truth that has been terrorizing us all along: Donald Trump’s dirtbag machinations are driven by insane vanity.
The First Narcissist’s all-consuming blend of braggadocio and insecurity has turned Washington and its rickety institutions into a dystopian outpost of his id.
President Trump obstructed on nearly every page of Volume II of the Mueller report, even though Robert Mueller was too lost in legalese to throw the book at him. The report counts as the Worst Exoneration Ever, replete with incrimination.
And Trump’s motivation for trying to subvert justice and turn the White House into a writhing nest of liars? His ego.
He did not want people to think that the Russians were responsible for his election and that he was an illegitimate president.
And why was this the burr under his sociopathic saddle? Obviously, because he thinks he is an illegitimate president. He never expected to win.
The idea that he is in the Oval Office under false pretenses plays into his twisted sense of victimhood. The spoiled scion of Fifth Avenue somehow always finds a way to be aggrieved, a victim of the media, the deep state, “dirty cops,” note-taking aides and the elites — all out to get him.
It’s the same reason he is still talking at rallies about that “beautiful map” of his Electoral College victory, with its large swaths of red. And the same reason he focuses on ratings and crowd sizes and subscription numbers...

It’s clear to see why Zeta-Jones was chose over this evil bile-spewing witch
Is she still living or was this written by a Ghost Writer.
Michael Douglas was on to the beotch.
If I hadn’t known who bled this soiled screed, I would have guessed the author was a woman or homosexual male who, in the past, was deeply injured by an alpha male father or husband...and sure enough!
It takes an egomaniac to believe him/her self to be objective - no matter how many people join with him/her in a mutual admiration society.Objectivity is a laudable goal - not a state of being. But the egomaniacs at the NY Times boast of their own objectivity.
So the left hates Mueller again?
The projection...
I'm a bitter shrew who will write BS to make myself appear relevant, especially when I'm not.
Drinking again...
Maureen Dowd is, drinking again.
Projection. That statement is nothing more than a rather large window into the mind of the proglib.
They "knew" that he would lose to Queen Hilarious Rottenbottomus Clitorus.
When President of the United States of America Donald John Trump (I love saying that.) calmly swept the field of challengers and smoothly walked away with a not-even-close win the progs were left standing slack-jawed, unable to comprehend that normal American Citizens had made the choice, not the "more sophisticated and better educated elite" of the public.
Two years later?
They still can't understand losing.
They probably never will which makes them dangerous not only to themselves but to the Republic as well.

I am surprised the NYT can sell this rag without the fish already inside.
“Obviously” MoDo is hitting the sauce again... Big time.
Donald Trump’s ... machinations are driven by ... vanity
Ive lived through a lot of presidents, almost every one an ego maniac. Maybe not Gerald Ford.
This screed is what happens when an ultra-Feminist tries to play in the same league with someone who has stones.
And yet, Ms Dowd, this scoundrel kicked Crooked Hillary’s pathetic and prodigious ass.
President Trump is in office because real Americans struck back at the LMSM. That’s you maureen. Ready for another?
Nah, it’s editorial bloviating opinion.
Maureen’s writing consists of an army
of adjectives marching over the plain
in search of an an idea which then
frog marches back to camp where it is
worked to death.
Mark Levin’s rant on the report is a thing of beauty. He claims, because no real evidence is presented, that Volume II of the report is worthless.

Nasty, Dowdy, hate-filled woman. Must take a lot of energy to keep the hate flames fanned.
