Jeet Heer is a talented New Republic writer and an amusing tweeter. He also has one of the greatest names ever. It’s so punworthy that even I should not abuse it, not that you’d know that from the punny post title. Take my word for it. It’s not heersay…
The topic du jour is the Insult Comedian’s immigration “policy.” If any of you knows what it is, please tell me. It seems to change hourly. What Trump really has is a series of attitudes on immigration: the latest one is Mr. Kinda Sorta Nice Guy. I still haven’t the foggiest idea of what his policy is but it has pissed off Ann Coultergeist and that’s not a bad thing at all.
Jeet Heer was following last night’s Trumpian chaos and had a bit of fun at Coultegeist’s expense:
Internet: you need to create Downfall parody videos of Ann Coulter reacting to Trump's immigration betrayal. You can do it, internet!

Imagine if you're Eva Braun ready to die in the bunker & your man says, "you know, Jewish cosmopolitanism isn't so bad."

I am officially glad that I gave up Godwin’s Law for the duration of this campaign. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to post that tweet or this video:
That’s right, it’s already happened, even if the dread Coultegeist isn’t in it. You can’t have everything, Jeet.
All Trump has done with his latest position is confuse people. Will it last? It seems to depend on who he spoke to last. His campaign gets more farcical by the day. It’s also turning into a cop show cliché: they have Bad Cop (Breitbart Dude) and Good Cop (Kellyanne Conway.) The MSM will hype this change as-you guessed it-a pivot that will change everything. It changes nothing: his supporters have drunk the orange Kool-Aid and most everyone else thinks he’s unstable and perhaps even batshit crazy.
Trump’s “positions” are so chaotic and changeable that they gave me an earworm. I’ll give Neil Finn and Crowded House the last word:
Of all Internet memes, Downfall somehow never gets old. I should get around to watching the actual movie some day.
I’m a little surprised; I would have thought that by now Ann Coulter was used to men going soft on her.
Meee Ow.
Downfall’s a pretty good movie. My local public library had a DVD. The rant everyone uses comes pretty early on, but the rest of the movie is..well, not exactly uplifting…
So…just wondering…does Jeet Herr rhyme with Jeter, as in Derek?
