Diss Train

   The train of insults, vilification and abuse will soon leave the White House station and many voters will not be on it, because they won't take a chance on going off the rails of sanity.
   The latest episodes of disrespect include threats to withhold funding from the United Nations because the U.S. was criticized for announcing it would move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
   So the Rambler in Chief pouts that he will pick up his marbles and go home. Assuming, of course, that he hasn't lost what few he had.
   Also, the Pouter in Chief escalated his Twitter assault on the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after reports that the FBI official will retire sometime early next year.
   To put it another way, he's criticizing someone who is already on the way out. Question: Why bother attacking an adversary who has already conceded? If, in fact, this is a concession or an admission of defeat. Perhaps the FBI guy has had enough grief. Or it may just be that it's retirement time.
   Either way, if you perceive this as a victory of some sort, why rub it in?
   It has been said that nobody likes a sore loser. An angry winner gets even less respect.
