    So in 'you can't make this shit up' news, Tucker Carlson is declaring Boltons ouster a great day for America because, wait for it, Bolton was 'a Man of the Left'.

    If Douchebag McBowTie actually believes that he is completely insane.

    We've seen that on these very forums. Again: you get no credit for ending your own bad idea. Carlson is desperate for good press after the last couple weeks and, at this point, is just flat-out making shit up.

    Bolton worked for Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump. And nobody else. Carlson is lying. Full stop.

    Carlson was declaring Boltons ouster a good thing was because Bolton was actually a liberal/progressive.

    I know a couple of Trump supporters that are not too happy with Trump taking military money to build a wall. A lot of people don’t know this, but Seattle is the closest major city to some major military base:

    Washington isn’t going red, but if we were... what Trump just did for the wall, would turn WA blue. A lot of military families are impacted, from their kid’s education to projects military was working on.

    We literally have a thread about the political scale... where someone arguing that it’s subjective, which would explain how someone like Bolton is called a liberal, used the “compass only work on earth” as an argument. This is Trump’s both sides in action... if you are not with us, you must be against us... is not a political argument... but, Trump is succeeding in making it one.

    Anyone who claims Bolton's firing a good thing, without also declaring Trump hiring him was a bad thing, is hereby declared a troll and should be treated as such. Maybe Carlson back in the day said "No, Trump should never have hired Bolton" but based purely on his reporting so far, I don't think it's there. If y'all want to look, go ahead and post what you come up with. Either way, I win.

    Also, just a reminder: while the NSA is basically missing now, we're also missing a DNI, the head of Homeland Security, the head of FEMA and a few others not related to national security. For someone who likes to declare National Security Lol, we sure don't have a lot of national security. Lol.

    So Trump sucking at...well...pretty much everything, led to a Baptist preacher being tagged when Trump tried to attack a reporter about the Dorian business.

    Who was on the receiving end of endless vitriol as a result, apparently. He's responded with dignity and grace, proving he's an infinitely better and more qualified person for the position that Trump currently holds.

    Carlson is so fucking confusing to watch. Some days he's whining about evil leftist socialists wanting people to not go into bankruptcy if they get sick, the next day he's whining about corporations oppressing the workers and then the next day he's saying one of the most shitfilled conservatives in the country is a leftist.

    What kind of drugs is he on so I know to never, ever take them? Because that is one hell of a bad trip he's on.

    Also, hah hah, he's from Kentucky. Have fun with that, McConnell.

    Oh, speaking of which, McConnell basically stiffed Kentucky coal miners to pay a Russian aluminium company.

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last month blocked a measure that would have used Treasury Department funds marked for Appalachian development to help pay for coal miners’ health care and pensions in his home state of Kentucky.

    But just a few months earlier, McConnell successfully steered near-identical Treasury funds for Appalachia to bankroll a Kentucky aluminum plant connected to an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    The scrutiny started in January, when McConnell voted to lift sanctions on Rusal, a Russian aluminum company formerly headed by Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, despite several of his Republican colleagues defecting and voting no. Rusal’s de-listing caused an uproar among Democrats on Capitol Hill who viewed the deal the Treasury Department put together with Rusal as too lenient.

    At the same time Rusal was lobbying the Trump administration to get off the U.S. sanctions list, McConnell was advocating for federal funds to be diverted to help with construction of the Braidy plant in Kentucky.

    In October 2018, McConnell, Rogers, and Kentucky officials announced that EastPark and Ashland would get $4 million. Then, in March 2019, the applicants confirmed that the $4 million would not go to funding general repairs but would instead go prepping for construction on the aluminum plant.

    Its always connected to Russian-based companies.

    Man that sure is interesting isn't it.

    Goddamn just let us skip ahead 10-15 years when all these scumbags are dead from age and get on with it already. I'm so tired of waiting for Yurtle to just croak and stop polluting the country with his scumbaggery.

    Trump fired John Bolton as national security advisor. Rumors are going around that Trump is going to ask Ion hazzikostas to be the new one.

    You must be late to the party if you think the rest of humanity waiting with bated breath for the baby boomers to cark it is remotely novel.

    Yep. Can't goddamn wait.

    It's not oppression if God does it for you.

    Nobody's calling for anyone's death. But when you have a good number of people seeing the generational turnover sweeping your lot away as a good thing, maybe it's time to start evaluating your legacy.

    Do you honestly think anyone in the near or far future is going to judge the Baby Boomers kindly for their many, many sins against their children, their countries, and their planet?

    Oh, and for the record - nor am I complicit in putting someone who has been corrupted by agents of the Russian state into the Oval office and continuing to support them after said corruption came to light.
