Dave Barry’s Year in Review: Trump and the ‘hideous monstrosity’ that was 2016

Washington Post ^ | 01/01/2017 | Dave Barry

In the future, Americans — assuming there are any left — will look back at 2016 and remark: “What the HELL?”

They will have a point. Over the past few decades, we here at the Year in Review have reviewed some pretty disturbing years. For example, there was 2000, when the outcome of a presidential election was decided by a tiny group of deeply confused Florida residents who had apparently attempted to vote by chewing on their ballots.

Hilarious - how long will these deadenders keep whining ?

[guido911]

I have f*cking had it with these damned sore ass losers. Every time a-holes attack Trump, they are directly attacking the 60M+ voters that voted for him. I am not sorry that I voted for the candidate who was better than Hillary.

Dave Barry used to be funny.

[Robert DeLong]

Don't you know that every time these a-holes whine it's a sign that God has created another Trump supporter? It's Satan having a temper tantrum that he has lost control here in America.

So just sit back, smile and enjoy the misery Satan is evoking within his minions. 8>)

The whining will stop the day after the 2018 midterm elections when the Democrats will finally HAVE to give in and acknowledge they not only lost but their party is dead and not coming back.

[Nicojones]

Sorry Dave, but I think Americans in the future, if there are any left, will look back on 2008 and 2012 and say “what the hell, they elected a communist community organizer as President?”

On the Democratic side, the month gets off to a rocky start when FBI Director James Comey, announcing the results of the bureau’s investigation, reveals that when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, her official emails, some including classified material, were basically as secure from prying eyes as a neon beer sign. Nevertheless Comey says he is recommending that no criminal charges be brought against Clinton, because, quote, “I don’t want to die.”

(Never Trumpers like Dave Berry, never die, they just get smellier, snarl, whine more and look very depressed!)

Urban Dictionary: Schadenboner:

Schadenboner. An extreme degree of pleasure from the misfortune of Never Trump A$$holes whining, crying and moaning after Trump’s victory..

Meanwhile the Clinton campaign is dealing with a steady stream of WikiLeaks emails suggesting that the Clinton Foundation is dedicated to humanitarian relief in the same sense that the Soprano family was dedicated to waste management.

David Barry is a lefty loony too???!?

I don't think so. I think he's more libertarian. He certainly has no love for HRC if you read the article.

He's just perpetuating the meme that Trump and Clinton were the worst possible choices. Maybe he would've preferred Rand Paul (he was sure going places)? Kasich? Rubio? Jeb? If Trump really was that bad a candidate, then what does that say about the rest of the field?

Clinton was a terrible choice despite all her on-paper qualifications, but who else did they have? The 250-year old socialist who has managed to accomplish nothing in his century as a VT senator?

I like Barry, but this stupid meme just annoys the crap out of me.

AL Gore brought about the lawsuit in 2000. He tried to argue that the election should be decided by a county in Florida that it had previously been discovered had committed voter fraud. In favor of the Democrats, of course. The SC correctly saw the fraud. Liberals are liars. Always.

[ “What the HELL?” ] - Speaking of such......

[polymuser]

Yep, and flaming perverts, muzzie beheadings, rampant baby killing, black on black murder and drug hazed existences are, well, okey doke with Little Davey.

[Calvin Locke]

I didn't know he was still alive.

I thought he died years ago.

After this article, I'm sure it would have been a good career move.
