Wherever I go, people ask me the same question: “How can he?” How can Kevin support President Trump? Why isn’t he bothered by all the things others find appalling and frightening? Thanksgiving weekend is here, so it’s time for my Republican brother to share his bounteous harvest of thoughts: Every time I hear Neil Gorsuch’s name, I smile. It has been a year since Donald Trump was elected, and his thrill-a-minute White House is still causing acid reflux for half the country and all of the mainstream media. There is always a lot of background noise buzzing around the president, and it’s catnip for his detractors. Full disclosure: I am not a Trump disciple. His manners offend me and the tweeting is overdone, but I do admire his resiliency against an unrelenting and unfair press. His tweeting is annoying, but it can be an effective defense. He has 43.2 million Twitter followers. The New York Times has 3.1 million subscribers. Trump got into office because of Congress’s inability or unwillingness to do its job. The voters were so fed up, they turned to a reality TV star instead of the 20 politicians on the menu. (Or 20.5 if you want to count Martin O’Malley.) Trump delivered on his promises to shake things up with a slew of executive orders undoing much of Barack Obama’s burdensome regulations and, more important, started to reshape the lower courts decimated by Obama’s appointments. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court may be his most lasting legacy.

I’m just here for the CZJ pics.
Uh, multiply that times three, Maureen.
Don't care who wrote it, that's gold.
I will confess, one year after the election, to a degree of surprise at the tenacity of resistance by the GOPe to their own ascendance. Having just had the "you get the uniparty no matter which one of us you vote for" ploy shoved up so high only a proctologist can see it, they appear still to believe that on a Senatorial and House level, which accounts for the panicked dismay with which they view Roy Moore. Because if it's true on their level too they actually may be held responsible for their actions or more precisely, their lack of them, by voters who are silly enough to think they have other alternatives and to make them stick. They can't say they weren't warned.
Wow! Great article!
She’s down on the GOP, and so am I - they can’t manage to do a darn thing that Trump has requested and that they promised to do in their own campaigns. I did like her words about the Dems, though:
“The Democrats have their own issues. Their leaders are all on Medicare and cling to power like a drunk hugging his bottle of schnapps at last call.”
Too true. Complete geriatrics but not going anywhere until the Grim Reaper makes them go. And as she said, the alternative (Bernie and Pocahontas) are “so far to the left they should be driving in Britain”! She has a way with words, definitely.
Mau.,
Your brother will be proud of your frank assessment.
Mo wrote this? I may have to give the NY Times another chance!
Apparently this is how the brother thinks he has speak in order to converse in civilized oompany.
A pussified sounding sort of “putting-up-with-Trump” guy.
He’ll be eaten alive of course, the fool.
Just curious. If something is posted 22 hours ago, is that story dead?
Writing this, how long can she stay on the NYTs?
What?
Who is this author and what has she done with Maureen Dowd?
woohoo..life size
Back in dialup days, that pic woulda taken a half hour to load .. LOL !

“The Democrats have their own issues. Their leaders are all on Medicare and cling to power like a drunk hugging his bottle of schnapps at last call.”
Surprisingly honest about the UNFAIR press.
