Bolton Stabbed in the Back by his Buddies

 So, Trump and Barr have cooked up a criminal complaint against John Bolton for publishing his book of revelations before the "security review process" was completed.  


I don't give a damn about Bolton, who is as disgusting a right wing warmonger as anyone short of Heinrich Himmler, but here is something that no one who reported on this story seems to have noticed.  The "review process" had already stretched out several times as long as a review normally takes.  What we all know is that it would have never been completed, and Trump intended to throw Bolton in prison for speaking the truth about him, whenever he did it- just like he and Barr did with Michael Cohen.  This was not a security issue, it was just one more move by Trump to mangle the notion of justice in the United States to make it a crime to tell the truth.  So, spare me the idiotic claims about how terrible it is to reveal anything that Trump wants kept quiet.  We need a lot more people to speak the truth about what they know, and let God sort out the bodies afterwards.  After all, that risk of being imprisoned by a dictator is what they bought into when they signed up with Trump.


Update:  It is now several days since I wrote what is above, and just for the record, I want to repeat something that just appeared in the Washington Post (9-23.)


"White House intervened to halt release of Bolton book with flawed classification review, federal official says

Trump appointees “commandeered” the pre-publication review for political ends, the career official told a court."


It is an endless source of distress to me to see the mainstream press, over and over again, ignore what is obviously going on with Republican corruption.  The press hides behind some alleged absolute standard of journalistic evidence to avoid stating the truth about Republicans, but has no problem serving as an echo chamber for endless Republican smears which everyone knows are totally groundless.  And thus we end up with one political party and one criminal conspiracy vying to control the country.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
