    His compliment to Israel: better than Syria.

    Just when I think Bret Stephens has hit a new low in his incredibly ill-informed writing about Israel, he demonstrates that there really is no bottom. His response to the nation state bill is to sniff at "liberals" and ask "what about Syria?"

    Don Jr, a good buy, never colluded. If he did collude, he was only briefly my son. If he was a permanent son, collusion is totally legal and not a problem. If it’s not legal, Ivana was a wild gal, and he looks nothing like me.

    How about two eternal shames?
