Bolton’s a warmonger responsible for the deaths of thousands of American troops & Iraqis. Like all armchair warriors, he’s a coward who put a book advance ahead of patriotic duty during impeachment. There’s no greater indictment of the *actual* swamp than his continued relevance.
I’m sure that’s what Trump meant to say.
The fact that the trifecta of “graduating from Yale” and “being an awful person” and “grooming your facial hair like an 18th century train robber” are enough to get you access to the highest levels of government will never cease to horrify me.
I’m waiting for an appointment so let’s keep talking Bolton!
On his avoiding the Vietnam War draft: “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy.”
Yet he had no problem sending other people to die in a Mesopotamian desert.
John Bolton once threatened an chemical weapons non-proliferation official saying “We know where your kids live.”
The “we” in that sentence is us - the United States. Threatening someone’s family.
When John Bolton isn’t threatening *someone else’s* children he’s threatening to send *your* children to another war he’s too cowardly to fight himself.
I used to hold out hope that Trumpism might accidentally destroy ghouls like Bolton and their casually violent warmongering.
That didn’t happen. They’re different flavors of evil. Like oil and water, they don’t mix but they both can change shape to fit their surroundings.
But as we get rid of Trump (🙏), please don’t forget to throw out the morally bankrupt people and system that preceded him. Getting fired by a bad person doesn’t make you a good one.
Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Fuck John Bolton.

Maybe @helenaironline, as the paper of record for a state that gave the world Richard Spencer, could stop printing letters that minimize the Holocaust. #mtpol
Also thank you to @ewarren and her crew this is your doing :)
Also everybody please support our organizers that brought issues like this to the fore, especially those who worked in places that might not be that blue (👋 Montana #mtpol).
I'm...at a loss - up late bc I have stumbled on an unallocated supply of masks and ventilators. Connecting hospitals and orgs in my state that could use them. But I'm just a state representative - I have no expertise. How is it possible that this isn't being handled by the feds?
(Yes I contacted relevant state orgs/groups and they're doing their best). This whole "states are on their own" thing is a disaster. They're bidding against one another/the feds. Trump has completely abdicated authority, but hasn't given to anyone else. He's just...missing.
I'm watching - in real time - how all different states/hospitals/care orgs have to feed on supplies like piranhas in order to get enough for their patients. Governors are doing their best, but we need federal resource allocation. People will die bc of Trump's leadership vacuum.
So this little pupper jumped in my car at the trailhead today. Wouldn’t leave. Anyone I asked (shouted to from a distance) said he had been there alone for hours in the snow. Gotta admit: He smells terrible and he made my day.
He’s really young. Skinny too, under all the fur. I’ll be calling around tomorrow to find his family. If this is your little boy let me know in the DMs.
Should this be your guy, I deliver! Beware as I will also ask if you need any canned goods/medications and whether or not you are feeling isolated.
