Right-wing journalists often use obfuscating wiggle words around Trump saying things like, “he’s the most consequential president of the modern age.” You know what’s also consequential? Cholera is consequential. And cancer. And, and… and crocodiles. Another one that Hugh Hewitt used was the sports analogy that Trump scored an historic upset win over Hillary Clinton. Yes, but with an assist from Russian intelligence (that he openly courted) and also James Comey’s idiotic meddling. Thirdly, they say, he moved the Supreme Court to the Right. True, but largely by dint of Mitch McConnell’s skullduggery followed by the untimely death of RBG and the retirement of Anthony Kennedy. To state the obvious, that only followed because of his very narrow victory. So there it is: when your ideas suck, and you constantly lie, cheat and steal, and your policies only help the rich and powerful, this is what the pundits fall back on — his hugely consequential upset victory that packed the court. Congratu-fucking-lations. It’s like winning the Masters Tournament in March. They’ve got the sharpest pencils in the game.
