I am not always fond of Maureen Dowd, but she has some finely-sharpened comments:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

In ancient Egypt, there was the symbol of the ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. Nerve-addled octopuses sometimes consume their own arms.

But we’ve never watched a president so hungrily devour his own presidency.

Soon, there won’t be anything left except the sound of people snickering.

1. She worked tirelessly to put him in office

She owns him. Hs presidency would not be possible without her and other Clinton haters.

[JHan]

3. she's unlikely to admit it too.

[still_one]

10. she sure did Bains

[elleng]

2. I dislike her so never read, but this is good:

'there won’t be anything left except the sound of people snickering.'

[BeyondGeography]

4. I bet her snickering brother, who was her 2016 campaign muse, is still on board with Trump

But, yeah, fine.

7. I bet her snickering brother, who was her 2016 campaign muse, is still on board with Trump.

What about that silly sister who ALSO supported tRump?

That whole family's a hot, stupid mess.

5. More Like "the Sound of People Crying"

She always seemed to be a person who enjoyed throwing out undeserved insults.

The final straw was her column on her trying marijuana edibles. She ate a bit of a candy bar, didn't feel high right away, so she ate the whole thing while watching TV. She said that she moaned in bed all night hallucinating and feeling sick. Therefore, she is against marijuana. Huh?

[J_William_Ryan]

6. Also good...

"Everyone is tiptoeing around the mad king in his gilded, sparse court. His lieges make fools of themselves trying to justify or interpret his transcendentally nutty tweets and willfully ignorant comments."

It's also very true.

8. Sounds like Dowd decided to burn the bridges

[Beartracks]

9. She notes they are "elites-pretending-not-to-be-elites."

That's not just Trump's regime, but also seems to fit the entirety of the rich, connected, powerful GOP leadership.

11. I can't stand her. She can't have it both ways.

[SunSeeker]

12. All this was obvious before she voted for Shitler. Why the change of heart?

Did she actually think he would change?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I don't think she voted for Trump. Her brother supported him, though.

13. She is a pompous gasbag n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. That she is. But she does have some talent as a writer

and I thought some of her comments about SCROTUS were hilarious.
