I gave up on this carpetbagger eons ago. When whomever coined the word “obsequious” there must have been a photo of this spineless toad in the room for inspiration. Even hearing his name these days gives me gas.

I have recently been sick of David Brooks’ commentary. I once looked forward to their segment and still very much admire Jonathon Capehart, but David Brooks should just come on out of the MAGA cave and shut up trying to sound reasonable.

😅😅😅😅😅😅 Brooks is, and has been for many, many years, a pathetic, smug, contemptible irrelevantus. He's the kind that would eat sh** them go about on how it's not all that bad. I hate the creep.

Possibly Mr Brooks entire raison d'être is to write anything, say anything to stay in the conversation, or to stay relevant.

Instead of sitting this one out,perhaps Mr Brooks Should consider shitting this one out?

And lets be honest, how many people consider the Times, world class journalisim.

Grasping to be relevant in a field of disingenuous mediocrity

He’s a pedantic weeny who is often wrong. However he embodies the not so subtle misogyny with which most women are familiar. His arguments last night on PBS NewsHour were borderline pathetic, but those of us who enthusiastically support Harris should acknowledge and work to counter what is clearly discomfort.

Ross Douthat, not to be left out, titles his piece today “Kamala Harris and the Audacity of Desperation.” I unsubscribed except for Wordle, so I couldn’t read it, but the headline alone is bad enough.

The AUDACITY of this mediocre old white man grading and critiquing a woman far more competent than he could ever dream of being makes me stabby.

Just another -of way too many-old white dudes whose relevancy passed away long ago. These guys are like teenagers who constantly need attention -but the teenagers grow up!!

I’ve always thought DB should shut the fuck up and then shut the fuck up some more. Drivel is right.

Sit down David.

No, not there. In the corner, facing the wall.
