He does give policy objections, and does not give personal insults without meaning. you would better appreciate this by reading more of the work.
Your judgement that he hates Trump is not surprising but nevertheless unfortunate.

I criticize the content of posts. I criticize errant facts, illogical, and departures from forum rules.
I avoid impugning motives especially at that level making a judgement of sinfulness.
I avoid criticizing perceived attitude without reference to content.

Most of the things I’ve read by George Will had to do with opposition to abortion, and abortion of babies with Down Syndrome.
I admire him very much for that.
I’m not a Joe Arpaio fan at all. Human rights and dignity matter, even for people in a jail.
Humans require three things (I learned in 4th grade) Food, shelter and clothing. He provided spoiled food, put inmates in tents with holes outside in the Arizona heat, and provided no rain protection during the rainy season tobthe outdoor inmates.
Pence didn’t need to praise him.

Everyone, including me. I had to look up words like lickspittle, oleaginous, …
And since I have been personally called out by posters on several occasions for words used in postd and links here, I gave a heads up.

i have no desire to discuss the content of Will’s opinion piece.7_Sorrows:
I strongly object to your characterization of the motives and will of me and 3-4 others that you do not name. I would be happy to discuss the content of Will’s opinion piece with you. But talking about posters is inappropriate.
when you continue to post these types of threads, eventually i just tune them out.
it is just more of look how bad Trump is or someone in his administration.
very nauseating after awhile.
unemployment is down, 3 men being held in North Korea were brought home this week. President Trump, if all goes as planned, will soon meet with the leader of North Korea, but there is never any “job well done” by many here - it is just one negative
thread after another.
why would i want to read another disparaging opinion piece by Will?

I simply ask, in conformity to forum rules, that if you do not want to talk about the content of my posts, do not, instead makes posts directed at my person.

I have expressed satisfaction that Trump has not reversed the unemployment trends that the nation has enjoyed since rising from the great recession.
The return of the three hostages is good news, just as it was in other administrations. The news was marred, however, by the self-serving false statement he made in promoting the news.
I think that Trump’s summit with the barbarian is interesting. Other President’s would have been savaged for giving peer status to that horrific dictator and signalling others of his ilk. Trump is seen differently in this regard than other Presidents. We will see how it works out.

He earns the description with his own words. I didn’t invent them.

No surprise in this.
He brings three hostages home and he’s condemned. He works for peace and de-nuclearization and he’s condemned.
Some people just hate him for his personality and potential hazard to abortion “rights”, and nothing he can ever do will change their minds about him.

In your judgment.
Why not leave judgement about other’s sins where it rightfully belongs?

Please reference the policy critiques in the article, they weren’t picked up by others writing on the article
Yes, Will has joined the party of ad hominem, there was no meaning behind his fondness of ad hominem.

Will has clearly lost his mind. He used to be a big wheel among Republican opinion makers, but time has passed him by.

He’s not a hazard to abortion rights. Does he even mention it at his rallies? He mentions second amendment all the time, how about culture of life?
He just signed a budget that funds planned parenthood. During the campaign he claimed that planned parenthood did wonderful things, and thousands of women sent him letters on what great care they get there.
And, Gorsuch stated clearly that Roe was settled lawduring his confirmation hearings.
He’s not prolife, he’s never been involved in any prolif initiatives, The unborn are not any safer today than they have been in 40 plus years.

Condemned? That is not what I said. I said that it is good, albeit not unique. And that his self promoting falsehoods about the event tarnished his achievement. I realize that the fans are immune to the falsehoods - some may even admire his boldness - but they still bother others.
A consistent element of our foreign policy has been to ostracize barbarians, rather than receiving them as peers, so as not to incentivize other barbarians. This may work for Trump, because his messaging is heard differently, but it is not clear that this approach, which would have been roundly criticized in other administrations is good. As I said, over time, we will see.
Minimizing character defects as “personality”. That a is right up there with minimizing the solicitating sex with pornography workers as an “affair”
That is a great deflection. Who are these unnamed people? Anyone we know?
