Oh, what sweet summer children we were! I remember thinking the same thing about our country after watching it elect a washed up actor playing the role of a politician. Yet Reagan was lionized by the GOP, which paved the way for the same voters to be duped into electing an even worse actor, who made the first actor's performance now seem Oscar-worthy.

I do not have to like what he has done to respect his honesty here.

That's exactly right. That was Trump's purpose; and that goal was Putin's, too. It was in concert, I believe--even if it wasn't, why should Putin act when his enemy is making a mistake?

Bolton is a crazy warmongering neocon. Reminder: GWB appointed him as UN ambassador. It was a typical Republican fuck-you move, because Bolton hates the UN. However, Bolton was so extreme he was not going to be confirmed, most likely, so he got a recess appointment, which was then not renewed because the Dems had taken over the Senate. Also too: Trump fired him, because reasons. I think those reasons were that he had a major hard-on for a big foreign war, likely with Iran. (He was wanted to invade Iran, like forever). We are in deep shit when Bolton is the voice of reason.

God damn. When I was a soldier, I always knew exactly what I was doing and why I was doing it-we all did. To see these kids who thought they were on maneuvers until a week ago and didn't realize any different until the Ukrainian Army started shooting at them? With inadequate food? That was another thing-in the IDF, the closer you are to fighting, the better the food gets. God damn Putin and his generals.

The man said right out loud that he didn't need to lay out an agenda before the election. People would find out after they win the House.

They’re fodder to Putin. He doesn’t care about them.

That Hugh Hewitt tweet is a world class self-own.

They won't call Bolton again, they'll call Kellyanne Conway or Junior so they at they can get what they want to hear

He died watching his listeners being arrested for storming the capitol.

Mitch wants to stick to his agenda of, as he put it, "I'll tell you after the election."
