Up is down. Down is up.
Is Donald Trump an evil wizard?
In case you missed the news, John Bolton is going to prison for mishandling classified documents.
This, from the New York Times’ Aishvarya Kavi and Devlin Barrett:
And, like so many who read this, I have no love for John Bolton. His life has been devoted to starting wars, fueling wars, encouraging wars. He’s an old-school neocon who used to regularly appear on Fox News as a snarling attack-the-libs cackling douche.
That being said …
First, I hurt for Bolton’s mustache, and what the hard prison water will likely do to its fluff.
Second, how does this keep happening? Over and over and over? John Bolton is going to prison for mishandling classified documents? FOR MISHANDLING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS?! You mean, like, stashing boxes and boxes of classified documents … in the Mar-a-Lago bathroom?
I truly don’t get it.
As we speak, the government is going after (fake) people who (fake) desecrated the Reflecting Pool, because they (fake) attacked federal property. And yet … all those people who stormed the U.S. Capitol have not merely been freed, but pardoned. Those folks kicking in doors, slamming desks, ripping up papers, breaking grass, bashing cops—free as birds.
Why? Because up is down. Down is up. Trump is the model of patriotism. Trump had five draft deferments for bone spurs. Trump is the military guru we need. Trump said POWs are heroes for “being captured.” Trump bashes Sleepy Joe by the day. Trump falls asleep in plain sight by the day. Trump believes in the flag. Trump lied repeatedly about 9.11. Trump says Democrats are unethical. Trump cheated on wife 1 with wife 2, wife 2 with wife 3, wife 3 with a porn star who he raw dogged while wife 3 was home with their new baby. Trump mocks the appearances of others. Trump looks like a moldy, bloated cabbage dipped in hot sauce. Trump says Barack Obama has a low IQ. Trump sells IQ with a silent X.
Nothing makes sense any longer. Nothing adds up.
Up is down.
Down is up.
I feel badly for John Bolton.
What the hell?
Our country is currently a sh#t show. But I keep hoping that with more reporters like you we'll get some of the dumb fu#ks to wake up and we'll turn things around. Thanks for your work.
There’s a scene in the movie, “Clear and Present Danger” where Jack Ryan catches one of his CIA colleagues in an illegal scheme. The guy whips out a letter from the Secretary granting him permission to do the thing he’s doing. He shows Jack the letter and says, “You don’t have one of these, do you?” Bolton doesn’t have “one of those”: a pardon, a federal judge in his pocket, a DoJ representing him, etc.
