h/t Instapundit
[KimDuToit] ...And here’s the really good news: Obama was just the beginning. The next Democrat president is going to make him look like an amateur socialist: a member of the 1930s Fabian Society, as opposed to Joseph Stalin.

This, by the way, is the reason I’m really irritated by the NeverTrumpers: their childish little tantrums about Trump’s uncouth manner, his "undignified" behavior (e.g. his use of Twitter) and the "chaos" of his Administration don’t do anything but help make the Leftists’ screams that "Trump Is Hitler!" ring true.

But if the NeverTrumpers irritate me, the pillars of the American Left (academia, the Press, the Democrats and so on) have a different effect. Where before I looked on them with scorn and some amusement ‐ FFS, do they actually believe that bullshit they’re spouting? ‐ I now look on them as I would a rabid dog or a black mamba: they really do believe that crap, and they are that fucking dangerous.

#1 p.s. There's a whole bunch of Sarah Hoyt's posts on Instapundit that are well worth reading (but I already said "Sarah Hoyt's")

#2 You don't want a Pajama Boy to deal with scoundrels, scallywags, crooks and and hard-core leftists.

#3 Yep, Trump and Bolton will be a formidable pair to deal with the multiple nasty characters out there.

#4 I once worked on a rug shampooing crew during my college years. I really really really got tired of their foul language. One day I lost it, and decided to out-curse / out-profane / out-obscene whatever they came up with. And I discovered I have a real knack for that. Not only did I not get punched in the nose, they seemed rather scared of me, and their own language became much tamer and easier to put up with. Maybe I was giving them an outlet, too. I think Trump's "undignified" behavior and his "mis" use to Twitter has served a very similar function.

#5 When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember.

#6 "Ten Zebras Bit My Rooster" helped anatomy students memorize the 5 branches of the facial nerve, too.

#7 There are far more "dirty" mnemonics because they stick, like the way I learned resistors

0 BlackBad
1 Brown - Boys
2 Red - Rape
3 Orange - Our
4 Yellow - Young
5 Green - Girls
6 Blue - But
7 Violet - Violet
8 Grey - Gives
9 White - Willingly
Tolerance: Gold/Silver/None 5 10 20 =
Get Some Now

And don't get me started on the anatomy ones - they get nasty in a hurry.

Facial Nerve I learned, by the way is:

Two Zebras Buggered My Cat

Or

Tricky Zipper Bit My ~~C...~~ Rooster.
