Trump Disciples are now claiming that Bolton is a ‘tool of the left’.

ANYTHING to keep from admitting Trump is guilty.

This cartoon is just too perfect. What more can one say. “…done with a silencer” indeed, and with a threat to put one’s head on a pike…

We will REMEMBER at the Ballot box. I hope the Republicans like their NEW jobs.

The walrus is about to shuck the oyster.

(to our friend in the lower right corner) Silencers are only to be used on witnesses.

With one side defending truth and justice for all and the other side defending lies for all and justice for very few, the world waits to see the outcome … still exceptional or just another authoritarian dictatorship.

We are witnessing an absurdity being put on by the GOP.

There are basically three ways to be happy:

1 Change the world to be what you need/want

2 Change what you want to be what the world offers

3 Hallucinate

Option 3 is easy, but it doesn’t work when the world intrudes. Naturally, it’s also the option that Trumpists prefer.

In reality, the real crime is being done with lots of GOP silencers.

Who’d have thought that treating everyone like garbage along the way would ever come back to bite him?

His henchmen are working overtime!!

The RepCong’s Overreaches – {limerick}

May Bolton’s testimony

persuade that they’re full of baloney

when the RepCong screeches

in their overreaches

that Trump is a mensch, not a phony.

They’ll be sorry when the Diktator turns on them !

Again, this is MUCH TOO TRUE to be really funny. What the Republicans are doing is nothing less then the systematic DESTRUCTION of everything America has stood for for over 240 years! They have turned their backs on The U.S. Constitution, Truth, Honesty, Justice, and The American People, and are seemingly hell-bent on turning America into a A Single-Party Fascist Dictatorship, led by one psychotic lunatic, for the sole purpose of protecting their jobs.

Insanity, in front of God and America, the world….This administration, fake president, GOP boneless cowards, will burn up the history books….their legacies will be a warning….

So, Bolton is a “tool of the Left”? Is he a “left-hand” monkey wrench being thrown into the works? Are the President’s lawyers hanging his defense on a “sky hook”? Their statements are basically asking the question, “Do you want us to show you where the horse (donkey) bit him?” All those are tricks Old-Timers like to pull on the unwary green-horns.

Geez, a raw apprentice or recruit might fall for those old wheezers, but any adult with sense should not. But, of course, those same “low information” people that helped Trump get elected will somehow help him be acquitted.

Democratic Impeachment Managers : “Here’s the evidence that President Trump acted selfishly, acting contrary to our Country’s best interests to further his political ambitions by abusing the Constitution and compromising our National security.”

President Trump Defense Team : “Here’s the cover you need to vote in favor of our President trashing the Constitution and acting in his selfish interests.”

That mustache makes me wonder if Bolton liked the song “I am the Walrus”. Now he’s just sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come.

I had a very hard time watching Starr and Dershowitz perform their legal contortions, twisting their Constitution interpretations into pretzel shapes to suit their purpose. It was an origami demonstration, the end result to look like Trump with a halo. I know it does no good to swear through the television screen, but if it did, those two would have been vaporized.

RIP, Eric Blair.

Hypocrite lying cheating Republicans will not look at the evidence of their own guilt.

OMG. The top WH official responsible for preparedness & response to a deadly #pandemic quit, and the global health security team he oversaw was DISBANDED by then-NSA John Bolton in May 2018.

Nice tusks on Bolton.

Perfect reenactment, Tom. Thanks.

Brilliant!

The “silencer” is McConnell & Co. !

Bolton flipped on Trump to stay out of prison himself.

Moscow Mitch is, so far, doing an excellent silencing job. Couple that with republican delusional denial of reality and we have the complete and total destruction of our democracy. Do Trumpsters really want to continue on this path? Meanwhile Putin is laughing so hard, he’s having trouble directing Trump for his next destructive move.

“Was the crime done with a silencer?”

No, but the Republicans are trying to do the trial that way.

Then again, Trump seems to think that shouting creates silence.

I’d love (and the country NEEDS) it if the mustache testified. (I’m not sure but I THINK it’s attached to a person…..) Then again, Trump already confessed in the “transcript” of the phone call, Mulvaney already confessed publicly (while petulantly telling us to “get over it”), and EVERY witness in the House hearings corroborated what we already knew from the Don and Mick Show. Meanwhile, in other shocking revelations, the Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon orbits the Earth…….

Longtime Republican strategist and lifelong conservative, author of “Everything Trump Touches Dies”, Rick Wilson: “The bad guys know the same things our allies know: This is a weak man in a weak White House. He is unreliable, untruthful, and unmanageable. No matter how many flyovers and tank displays are arranged to keep him clapping like a toddler, and no matter how tough he talks on Twitter, they’ve got his number…and America in their sights.” (from “Running Against The Devil: A Plot To Save America From Trump—And Democrats From Themselves”)

If nothing else, you’d think the obvious and growing threats to our national security MIGHT spur the Republicans to take their oaths of office seriously……….

It is a pity that there isn’t a silencer for Trump

Bolton was previously the craziest person in every GOP Administration he was a part of. But in the Trump Administration, he is considered the sane one. Think about that for a minute.
