#ButGorsuch: Rich Lowry Asks If The NeverTrumpers' Sarcastic Hashtag, "#ButGorsuch," Is Warranted
Whenever the NeverTrump fruitbats want to stick it to their enemies, actual Republicans, they'll post something derogatory about Trump and then say "But Gorsuch," a sarcastic mockery of actual Republicans who believe, correctly, that the Gorsuch appointment was a major victory for conservatism and ameliorates a certain amount of Trumpish buffoonery.
And is it really just "But Gorsuch"?And coming soon: But opening ANWR to oil exploration. NeverTrumpers seem to care less about the conservative movement's health than their status in the pecking order within the conservative movement. Just as liberals shrieked about their own loss of status post-9/11, liberal-ish Upper Middle Class country club Republicans are howling and shredding their garments over their own dimunition of status and influence post 11/9.
But Gorsuch ... and Other Excellent Judicial Picks ... and a Tax Cut ... and Major Deregulatory Actions ... and Immigration Enforcement ... and the End of the Individual Mandate ... and a Roll Back of the HHS Mandate ... . . . and the reversal of the insane Title IX policy on campus . . . and an exit from the Paris Accords . . . and the avoidance of whatever Hillary would have wrought. ... Trump has governed so far as more of a Republican and conservative than I expected. Outside a brief flirtation with Chuck and Nancy and some unserious talks with Democrats over the tax bill, he’s had no interest in working with Democrats (in fact, has spent time insulting them). Remember: One of Bush's big first-year accomplishments was partnering with Teddy Kennedy on wholly ill-considered federal education legislation, No Child Left Behind. There has been nothing like that during Trump's first year.

No, it's not warranted. Trump has been a tremendous president, luxurious and classy. Fuck the nevertrumpers. I can understand being against him during the primaries and even being concerned during the general election but he's done nothing, nothing that compares to the shit that's been spewing out of the uniparty for the past 16 years.

It also happened to line up with the paper tiger rhetoric of the RINO Republicans and when it came to put up or shut up, they exposed themselves.'
Trump's walking the walk.

Romney says we need to elect a Democrat instead of Moore. Romney apparently did a full investigation and decreed Moore guilty of even proven lies.
So can we believe Romney, who it is proven has not paid taxes for ten years? (it has to be true, Harry Reid said so from the senate floor)
Romney the dog torturer ... should let his sleeping dogs lie. So should the other spoiled NeverTrumpers that pose as conservatives.

Now that douche, along with many other 'Conservatives' are just hating on all things Trump; they are indecipherable from the people at the NYTs. They care more about licking their wounds from being so wrong than they do about promoting conservatism.

I'd like to add #butnetneutrality to the list. It's hard to find any factual info on the whole net neutrality debate, because the libtards supporting it have filled the internet with false information. Ajit Pai was an Obama appointee before Trump promoted him, yet now he's a demon in the eyes of liberals. Why is Net Neutrality so important to them? I haven't seen a single case where Net Neutrality is needed or would make a difference. Yet. Will it be needed in the future? Hard to say, but we've functioned for 20 years without it. That being said, I think the fact that they're so fired up about it without any examples of why it's so important tells me that there's something else to it that we're not currently aware of. The power players of the left have determined it's very important, and they're telling their minions to make a lot of noise in an attempt to save it. My guess is it's an important piece in a future they're trying to build. Exactly what it is, I don't know, but I'm guessing it has to do with control of information.

Trump is actually trying to fulfill all his campaign promises--for that alone the Deep State wants his scalp.
I love this guy and I got to tell you that I couldn't stand him when he was just a celebrity or reality show host. I'm in NJ and I read all the NYC tabloids in the '80's when Trump's love life was splashed across the front page on a daily basis. I thought he was a big douche.
But i really do believe he learned something about the American people--and himself--during the campaign and Thank God he won.

Those of his efforts done through executive orders, good as they might be, are still reversible once another Democrat president comes alone. Hardier solutions (ala legislation) would be welcome.

And Trump is apparently now drawing a bead on welfare reform, with the "If You Don't Work, You Don't Eat" Act.

And imagine if Hillary won, Ginsburg and Kenned retire, and Hillary gets to pick 3 SCOTUS judges ... ugh... no.

Yes, this is a big reservation and the reason why I'm not more enthusiastic about his first year.

Trump needs to start the #ButEducation hashtag.
It is essential to the national security of the United States that it's citizens have a basic education, including the ability to read and write along with simple math.
60+ years of liberal education policies in the inner cities have produced results of 10% to 20% minimally educated children exiting public schools.
Trump needs to send in the military to bulldoze all public schools and administration buildings in the worst performing cities. Sign an executive directive outlawing any local or state governmental agency trying to provide any educational services and eliminate any regulations, guidelines or licensing in the education profession in these areas.
Trump should then sign another executive order to require the state and local authorities to divide the total amount it previously spent on public education by the number of 5 through 18 year old children in the area and distribute this money each year based on each child passing a standardized test.
Nothing the democrats have touched has been such a complete failure as education. Trump could own this and insure democrats never see an inner city vote again.

He was also Verizon's top attorney before Obama appointed him, and Obama appointed him on McConnel's recomendation for the "republican" seat on the FCC. Not the best pedigree.

In fairness, he was a big douche.
I remember reading or hearing the theory that the reason he, and other real estate-types, seem to be a-holes is that you have to be one, or at least act the part, to make it in that business.
Tangentially, the conventional wisdom used to be that senators were a bad fit for the Presidency, and Governors were a better fit because of executive vs. legislative experience/skills; the jury was out on CEOs and other executives.
So we now have a new data point, which is nice.
I remember reading or hearing the theory that the reason he, and other real estate-types, seem to be a-holes is that you have to be one, or at least act the part, to make it in that business.

I'm in Santa Barbara and it looks bad. We are getting ash here. If your friends are between Santa Paula and the pacific, they need to get out. 40 MPH winds with 70 MPH gusts. Our electrical service is on about 50% since 10:00 last night. It is pretty bad.

Yep. Entire neighborhoods went up in flames and I ended up spending the night at the university because my house was on the other side.
On the plus side a videotape I really didn't want to exist stopped existing that night.

But he isn't. He was a typical NYC, abortion supporting, northeast liberal. He did a 180 on a number of issues and frankly I didn't believe him when he first started to run. I mean he was still hacking Romney for being to mean regarding illegals just a few months before he started his run.
I'm still not sure he believes a lot of this stuff in his heart but I also don't care as long as he keeps fighting for the things I want it's all good.

Not sure what caused or when Trump has his Road To Damascus moment (or Manhattan, as the case may be), but certainly his hysterical opposition can only push The Donald further rightward.

Somehow a lot of us joined in and volunteered to go up in the foot hills north of Denver ( didn't know it at first but we were not allowed to go) and fought fires from Sat afternoon to Sunday evening straight. They are very frightning up close, saw a whole tree line burst in flames all at once, and know a pumper truck can't pump water a few hundred feet above the truck even if yoj hump hoses up there.

Plus... they are convinced they are The Special Ruling Class and a random person definitely cannot do their job.

alexthechick: "Did you ever guess that person would be Trump?"
Yes and no. The instant he introduced himself as presidential candidate with the platform of reducing illegal immigration and "a wall", I knew he had a shot. He was the only one willing to address elephants in rooms. That was when I knew he could win. When the rest of the field failed to keep up, that's when I knew he would win.
The people chose wisely. And the DNC and GOP didn't exactly help themselves as institutions in endearing themselves to the voters. Ironically, Trump was the independent choice. Who could have possibly predicted that a guy with billions of dollars and an independence streak a mile long could win a political race? I mean besides everyone?

At the end of the article Lowery wants to stop hearing the #butGorsach thing because he is tired of hearing it and because he admits in the article that the Gorsach appointment was a good thing for the country.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut UP!" he said repeatedly.

63 I'd like to add #butnetneutrality to the list. It's hard to find any factual info on the whole net neutrality debate, because the libtards supporting it have filled the internet with false information. Ajit Pai was an Obama appointee before Trump promoted him, yet now he's a demon in the eyes of liberals. Why is Net Neutrality so important to them? I haven't seen a single case where Net Neutrality is needed or would make a difference. Yet. Will it be needed in the future? Hard to say, but we've functioned for 20 years without it. That being said, I think the fact that they're so fired up about it without any examples of why it's so important tells me that there's something else to it that we're not currently aware of. The power players of the left have determined it's very important, and they're telling their minions to make a lot of noise in an attempt to save it. My guess is it's an important piece in a future they're trying to build. Exactly what it is, I don't know, but I'm guessing it has to do with control of information.
The Left wants POWER and CONTROL, and the Internet, 1969-2015 terrifies them to no end. A lot of my friends are shrieking hysterically about the end of Net Neutrality and the fastest way to piss them off is to ask "What's wrong with going back to the way things were? The Internet worked then, didn't it?" Cue screams, tantrums, and running around shrieking "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!"

>>Not sure what caused or when Trump has his Road To Damascus moment (or
Manhattan, as the case may be), but certainly his hysterical opposition
can only push The Donald further rightward.
Trump had an interesting moment at the Al Smith dinner the night after the 3rd debate. Before he got down to the jokes he put everyone there to shame by telling them how he's known them for decades, they've asked him for assistance (donations, etc.), they've welcomed him into their homes and families, only to stab him in the back the moment he announced his run for the GOP nomination. Some here have noted how Trump likes to get revenge. I think we're seeing it now, and for the next 3-7 more years, as people like Schumer, whom he's known for many years, attempt to play him like a RINO Bush. They will not be pleased when he's not a doormat.

He was also Verizon's top attorney before Obama appointed him, and Obama
appointed him on McConnel's recomendation for the "republican" seat on
the FCC. Not the best pedigree.
Since NN is just cover for Netflix screwing Verizon to charge all its customers for what just the TV streamers use you're wrong AGAIN.

CG, the report today was that the worst of the winds will be on Thursday night. IIRC a couple years ago a fire went to the Pacific near Faria beach. Looks like that is what is going to happen again. The sky and sunlight is deep orange here.

I watched KSBY morning news, they said strong winds through Wednesday. I'm not surprised they're wrong.
I'm in the Santa Ynez Valley, it wasn't that windy here yesterday but I wasn't outside last night because it was cold. It's a little breezy.
Whenever it's dry and windy I'm suspicious of firebugs.

If true, this would be awesome.
Now.. an anecdote. During the Marla Maples era, I almost physically walked into Trump on the street in front of one of his properties. He is VERY tall, and didn't seem to be in the best mood that night. Which made him seem incredibly intimidating. And I'm pretty used to intimidating tall men.
I have no doubt that his personality completely overwhelms some of them in DC. Which is why they're screaming impeachment every day.

You know how we said that we wanted someone who would run as a moderate (you shut your whore mouths with facts about how Trump won you'll ruin things for me) but govern as a conservative?
Trump was a New York friend of Oprah who supported abortion, socialized medicine, and homosexual marriage. He's governing like Ronald Reagan's more conservative brother.

Romney and McCain failed. They didn't connect with the base, they didn't have the passion for true conservatism. They didn't win.
They and their cheerleaders despise Trump for winning. This non-politician, brash talking New Yorker who broke every "polite" Republicans rules.

Thought he was the class buffoon but in every debate he stepped up and took it to them whereas my favorite, Cruz, didn't so much.
Before it was over it was obvious that only Trump had potential to straighten things out.
And he's doing it.
Thank you, Mr. President

I don't think Mitt Rombley is grousing about a job.
He wouldn't take a job from Trump.
Not our kind of people, dear. Not top drawer.
I think that Rich at NRO started flaggin a bit in his #nevertrump a few weeks ago, a good thing happened, NRniks harrumphed, and Rich gave them the old if Trump told you NOT to jump off a bridge...
I don't know how many anti-Trumpers honestly believed that Trump was Hillary's stalking horse (so elect Hillary!) or that he would lose so badly that he whould take down the GOP and the courts for a generation, but by this point, some truth should start becoming evident.
Those who are still #nevertrump were never actually conservative to begin with.

I am ready for any power outages, the electrician just hooked up my huge generator. I have to throw a switch and fire it up. It'll power everything but the guest house and barn.
We always lose power during storms, I have well water so no power, no water.

Make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.
That's basically what capitalism is. Except its "Make it econommically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing."
Capitalism is a system by which greed is harnessed to the widest benefit for the most people. Its the best we can hope for with sinful people in a fallen world.
I was thrilled with that and I'm an actual conservationist.
Precisely, I am as well. I love the outdoors, I'd live in the wilderness if possible, I find even the most open and empty places to be beautiful and wonderful.
But seriously, the federal government owns enough of the west, and these "monuments" were simply created to block any and all mining, ranching, petroleum resources from being taken advantage of -- or at least only with sufficient bribes and connections.
They were not to protect anything important, it was just a land grab to screw over sectors the Obama administration considered bad people.

Trump had an interesting moment at the Al Smith dinner the night after the 3rd debate. Before he got down to the jokes he put everyone there to shame by telling them how he's known them for decades, they've asked him for assistance (donations, etc.), they've welcomed him into their homes and families, only to stab him in the back the moment he announced his run for the GOP nomination. Some here have noted how Trump likes to get revenge. I think we're seeing it now, and for the next 3-7 more years, as people like Schumer, whom he's known for many years, attempt to play him like a RINO Bush. They will not be pleased when he's not a doormat.
Posted by: Lizzy at December 05, 2017 03:45 PM (W+vEI)
It's been said that when he does exact revenge he won't stab you in the back but stab you in the face.
Has anyone tried listening to Glenn Beck? I watched the election stream and he started to paint a picture because he couldn't handle what was going one and he disappeared towards the end.

The people who were labeling him "literally Hitler" and howling at the moon may have done themselves a grave disservice, because he might have tried to work with them on policy if they hadn't made it so personal. Now he wants to destroy them.

And we can thank Cruz for Mueller.

Correct. The most important part of being a conservative, the key component without which you have nothing, is opposition to far leftist progressive global redistributive collectivism.
I'll use that since "communism" has fallen out of fashion. It was much shorter to type.

As far as I am concerned "but Gorsuch" was so monumentally important that everything else was icing on the cake. regulation rollbacks, hiring freezes, battling the disgusting Dems, enraging liberal jaggoffs and now, possibly, a halfway decent tax reform bill getting passed and signed AND a soaring stock market and jobs?!?? These # nevetrumptards better watch out lest "ButGorsuch" be what's hung on their carcasses as they swing from lampposts for trying to stop and undermine what was so good for so many of us US citizens and for fomenting what is, basically, insurrection.
Now . . . if Trump also gets immigration reform done limiting legal immigration (and ending chain migration) and builds a wall? The Nevertrumpers are going to probably be hunted for sport in those "Trump Camps" which will probably actually get built. First in line? Sally Kohn - Huzzah!

Better to make a politician afraid to to the wrong thing, or afraid to not do the right thing.
The Horde knows that I've never understood Friedman's quote. How is the wrong person going to do the right thing unless he or she is forced to do so?
That's just not how any of this works.

Whatever it is, Kristol will never get over it.

Trump is a U-boat captain who keeps holing Kristol Meth's Severely Konservative Kruise's vessels below the waterline and sinking them before they get up enough steam to exit the harbor. Loss of counted upon revenue might engender some dislike in a person for another person thought to be responsible.

How is the wrong person going to do the right thing unless he or she is forced to do so?
Well for example, if you have a scumbag like John McCain, you make it so him supporting the right things and voting the right way benefits him politically. So by doing what is right, he has a better chance of being elected and pushing his pet projects along.
Its using the system to encourage people to do the right thing, even if they are doing it for the wrong reasons or are bad people.
Like I said, capitalism is the same sort of concept. Greedy scumbag business owners are pressured to treat their employees and customers better by the system because they tend to lose workers and buyers if they abuse it. They're bad people, but they are pressured to do the right thing anyway.

Trump has done so much good so far he has earned several passes.
The mediocre tax bill is OK by me. Doing away with the Obamacare mandates has made it a two-fer (Thanks Tom Cotton!!)
If the US Embassy in Israel doesn't move to Jerusalem is OK.
If NAFTA is still around I can live with that. (Trump got us out of the Global Trade Agreement and the Paris Accords. That's big.)
The promises that must be kept include BUILDING THE WALL and Getting out of the Iran Nuke Deal.
So far, he's doing great in MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

There's nothing about conservative thought that clashes with Mormonism AFAIK. You may think it's false when you examine its origins (which is what I do), but as to the values it promotes, it's not really a liberal religion. In fact, it venerates the US Constitution, IIRC.

Posted by: Ace's liver at December 05, 2017 04:13 PM (+azJs)
I didn't have the money 30 years ago either for a down payment. My mother did and almost bought a house there to be close to her mother, she's sorry.

My working theory is Trump want's to undue every last thing Obama had done in office; Make him a footnote in history. On issues he could go either way, I'm sure he ask's "What Obama do" and goes the opposite way.
It also happened to line up with the paper tiger rhetoric of the RINO Republicans and when it came to put up or shut up, they exposed themselves.'
Trump's walking the walk.
Posted by: WisRich at December 05, 2017 03:17 PM (G0vdT)
Yeah. Trump saw that with the Obama trajectory that America was Fucked.
Trump see his job as getting America Unfucked. Then America will take care of itself and MAGA.

Kind of sad that Laura Prepon became just another blond....

Forgot her name, but as 'Big Red' she was wonderful. Xena the same with generic blond . . . not going to look up the actress, but the dark hair was great.

There's nothing about conservative thought that clashes with Mormonism AFAIK. You may think it's false when you examine its origins (which is what I do), but as to the values it promotes, it's not really a liberal religion. In fact, it venerates the US Constitution, IIRC.

Agreed. However, during a debate Romney landed one square on Obama's jaw. It was obvious that he could have won every round with the truth he knew.
He chose not to use those truth punches because he would be held to them after he was elected. I don't understand how he reconciles his political allegiances and his faith but he does.

Jukin, you ever go up to Camp Sheideck? Best campground ever! They stock
the creek with trout, they got showers and an actual cafe/bar avec pool
table and juke box! One of my favorite places on earth. I only ever
told people about it if they would agree to total secrecy.

73 Does Mark Steyn still write for the NR, or was there a falling out? I'm pretty sure Steyn was terminated with extreme prejudicial sneering.
So there's that. Bring him back, NR.
Posted by: mrp at December 05, 2017 03:22 PM (Pqytn)
Steyn left NR because of the Michael Mann lawsuit. Not sure of the whole story.
Posted by: CaliGirl at December 05, 2017 03:25 PM (Ri/rl)
Steyn left because NR wanted to pussy out and settle while Mark wanted a full throated defense of Free Speech against Mann, like he did in Canada against the muzzie fascists on the provincial Orwellian Ethnic Rights boards.
He pretty much chose to not be in the company of cowards.

I was a never Trumper until the media pissed him off so much that it forced him to govern as a conservative just to spite them. I'm man enough to admit he's done a good job, despite the fact that it's not due to his own good character but rather the insane meltdown of the left making leftist views too toxic for a sane person to stomach.

the end of Net Neutrality and the fastest way to piss them off is to
ask "What's wrong with going back to the way things were? The Internet
worked then, didn't it?" Cue screams, tantrums, and running around
shrieking "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!"

The whole Net Neutrality debate began because Comcast was about to implement a plan that cut off access to certain sites unless customers paid them more. That will happen without it and most people will have no alternative provider to choose from. This is not a partisan issue.

"NeverTrumpers seem to care less about the conservative movement's health than their status in the pecking order within the conservative movement."
Exactly. And on top of that, THEY HAVE NOT DELIVERED. They mouth all kinds of B.S., then tut tut away our concerns over the lack of progress toward those goals. At some point , to be a leader, you actually have to do something that proves your worth to lead, other than publish trump hit pieces and go on wine cruises.
The thing about Trump is he takes the battle to the enemy. He manages to back foot these guys, over and over. You may not like his style. He doesn't follow Marques of Queensberry rules, but what the fuck, he punches back, hard. Not only that, he chasing them around the ring, raining blows on their fool heads. It ain't fair, it ain't pretty, he hits below the belt, hell, let's be honest, he occasionally takes a swing at the refs. But he is windmilling into these guys, and finally making some progress.
He's also embarrassing them because - he is uncouth, unsophisticated, breaking all the fake and phony rules they set up. he's also showing that those rules exist for just one purpose - to keep them in power, and prevent problems getting solved.
