E's GORN!!!!!

Politics and Social Issues
1

One of the biggest warmongers John Bolton sacked!!! Anything to do with the Afghan peace talks???

 

2

Now Trump can replace him with someone worse.

3

Who could be worse ?? Who would love war porn more than Bolton?

4

Dick Cheney?

5

Graham Lindsey?

Oh no.

Tom Cotton?

Don’t underestimate Trump’s ability to go from a horrible decision to one that is worse.

 

6

Worse than abolish the UN hahaha

7

Worse than “zero tolerance” kidnapping of asylum seeking children? Worse than trying to end all Muslims entering the US? Worse than stealing $3.5 Billion from military projects to build his vanity Wall? Worse than trying to kill Obamacare with nothing to replace it? Worse than proposing to nuke hurricanes or buy modern day Greenland? I could go on and on and on with the really dastardly horrible decisions and proposals he has made.

8

We are talking about Bolton. Nuclear war on multiple countries was very much agreeable with Bolton.

Perhaps, but Bolton, in Trump’s eyes was a cartoon character with a big funny mustache. He wasn’t going to be able to influence Trump in to going to war bigtime. Someone like Tom Cotton might be more influential with Trump, and thus more deadly with his chicken hawkery.

Seems to me Trump see's everything in Cartoon Vision.

I thought the American government has checks and balances to avoid such self-inflicted wounds. Oh yeah, it still comes down to the people holding powerful positions.

I wonder what went so terribly wrong?

Democracy only works with a smart population.

People are getting what they ask for, they’re just too dumb to know that they’re asking to be oppressed and ground-up in the machinery of capitalism for the benefit of the wealthy and well connected.
