TDS strikes hard (Updated)

/

Neocon Bill Kristol, once a conservative, has been so addled by his frothing-at-the-mouth Trump hatred that he’s gone entirely left-wing (see below), and now he can’t even hold his own thoughts and positions in his head for more than a few days, if at all.

Sad.

Here's what Kristol said:

Bill Kristol: I think a lot of the younger Democrats are quite impressive. Uh, I wish—

Dhriti Jagadish: —Any names [in Democratic politics] stand out to you?

Bill Kristol: Yeah, well, I’d say both. I live in Virginia. So, Abigail Spanberger, who I think will win in November, is really excellent. It might be Sherrill, actually, in New Jersey, excellent. And so, part of my core praise for Mamdani has been that, you know what, if we elect three Democrats who win in November—the three big races, really—and it’s Spanberger or Sherrill and Mamdani? That’s okay.

You know, New York City gets to have a left-wing mayor. It’s not the first time, and it’s different from the rest of the country. I wish they were a little less, you know, tolerant of certain things—on Israel, and so, against Israel and all that. But some of the economic stuff, I think, is just silly, but I don’t think it’s going to matter.

Shiv Parihar: Do you think you would vote for him [Mamdani] if you were voting in New York? 

Bill Kristol: You know, I think so. I really can't think—the idea of going back to Cuomo is just, I think, ridiculous. I think if it had been the first round, I would’ve voted for someone else and maybe wouldn't have even ranked Mamdani and would've had other people who were more centrist, liberal types. 

UPDATE: as it turns out, quite a number of political figures are having difficulty with their memory. Here’s Dick, “Stolen Valor” Blumenthal, breaking wind his silence; he probably should have stayed in bed (by the way, someone in the post below notes that “war of choice” is the new buzzword for this crowd — he’s right. How weird!)
