After this's all over, I hope the U.S. gov't bills Trump for the damage he's done to our reputation

[dubkitty]

christ! it's something new EVERY FREAKING DAY!

[dubkitty]

even worse, apparently John Bolton and his moustache are the front-runners for McMaster's spot. not good at all.

https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2 ... and/219655

highlights: "Bolton has advocated a strike-first policy on North Korea and has pushed for military intervention over diplomacy...[he] opposed the diplomatic approach of the Iran-US deal, advocating for overthrowing the Iranian government and repeatedly calling for pre-emptive attacks on Iran."

these fuckers are going to get us all killed.

Yeah, none of it's good.

From The Washington Post article I just read:

"Also, Trump has sometimes expressed confusion about what agencies and secretaries are in charge of what duties, a senior administration official said. For example, this official said, he has complained to Pruitt about regulatory processes for construction projects, although the EPA is not in charge of the regulations."

Surely that’s enough to trigger the incompetency process?
Not fit to serve.
But then you’ll have pence.
I wonder if Vlad owns his arse as well....

"Russia is going to have to make that determination." well, at least that's honest

That's hardly surprising.
These new norms are somehow increasingly more disturbing, despite their increasing degrees of intensity in attempting to be norms.

That may be the only thing this administration's being honest about though.

Pulling a page from Russia's playbook? :surprise:

when Bolton came up i abruptly shifted from extremely amused to extremely worried. Trump is so susceptable to doing whatever the last person who talked to him wants that he could very easily blow up half the world before he changes his mind AGAIN.

Yeah that latest state of the nation putin delivered was itself pulled directly form the pages of 1984.
It's like he read that and said, "Da. That's how shit gets done."

Yeah, that's the truly worrying thing. He is now surrounded by idiot talking heads who will only propagate an environment of lunacy.
Like a gravitational collapse in a cloud of stupidity and ego.
A nebula of idiocy.
