He is a creature of the Id. The only thing he cares about is owning the libs because it gives him chants.

The problem facing us all is he has surrounded himself with unqualified sycophants of questionable qualification. I don't remember who, but some columnist or other remarked on the 40th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis that if the Bush administration were in office in October '62, Miami would have rung in the new year radioactive.

What would you give up to have the Bush Administration right now?

Yeah. Again, like you once remarked, we’ve definitely entered the twilight zone when John Bolton is the voice of reason regarding foreign policy, at least for Ukraine. He probably would’ve been a proponent of the recent aggression towards Iran, though.

I wonder. Bolton definitely wants the Shah back. But I'll bet Bolton would prefer that we starve the Iranians some more and then overthrow them when they're overthrowable. This whole "hey we martyred the second most powerful guy in the country" thing likely strikes him as amateurish.

Oh, Bolton is all-in on assassinating foreign leaders, including Soleimani:

Noice.

Sadly, the accountability of Twitter is uniquely appealing, shy of video footage, I guess, if only for now. Hey, maybe Twitter could be super into escalating deepfake technology, because it would elevate their platform as the forefront of authenticity/sourcing.

sigh

They're always even crazier than you think

Yeah, that’s a big source of my discomfort. Not only is Biff our president but there’s a cast of people in positions they’re dangerously unqualified for. Bring back Condoleeza please.
