Don't forget that he was in Moscow for graduate school for several years in the early 90's. I think he either drank the Russian koolaid or maybe they have some kompromat on him. Don't know, but he's not the same writer he was before Chump came along.

the resistance and making fun of the Russia probe. He's on a list of anti anti Trump journalists with Greenwald, Aaron Mate of The Nation and Michael Tracey. Can't stand any of them.

I wanted Asshole impeached before he was inaugurated, so I'm more dangerous than him?

Does he mean Pelosi? Schiff? Random angry lefties?
