We on the Left would like to sincerely thank President* Donald Trump for confirming for all the world to see every single thing we have ever said about the fundamental laziness, stupidity, brutality, paranoia, racism and deep contempt for this country that lurks at the heart of all those flag-waving fake patriots and Bible-thumping fake Christians in the GOP.
We couldn't have done it without you, Twitler!

One of your best.
Jesus tapdancing Christ! TWITLER?
I just hurt myself!
photoshop out 'America' and replace with 'Russia'
Funny, I missed the part of the post that properly attributes the asterisk to Charles P. Pierce.
You must be new around here, because you have it backward: CP has been cribbing off of DG for years. And I think President* has been in common parlance since Election Day - it's not unique to CP.
Speaking of having it correct since the Stone Age, prophecy matters too. I just watched Olbermann's "Special Comment" from the day of the infamous Citizens United decision. Either the goopers wrote down his words and used them for their playbook, or he had a good day playing Howard Beale. It was prescient.
Oh, I'm well aware CPP has cribbed off of driftglass forever.
Don't know who uses the asterisk on a regular basis other than CPP. Would be nice to get links...I might be interested in their stuff.
Dan Rather, Balloon Juice, DailyKOS... even Chuck Todd (!) have all referred to Trump as "President Asterisk."
