Holy fucking shit.

[PCIntern]

I’m rooting for the CIA, the FBI, and John Bolton.

OMFG.

WTF happened to this world?

[Kali]

1. shit be cray

[central scrutinizer]

39. Waxing nostalgic

For John Bolton and Jeff Sessions? Once I would have rather jabbed myself with a sharp stick in the eye.

[underthematrix]

2. I want to join you in your outrage but I need you to tell me what you're talking about.

Please.

[PCIntern]

4. Think about it...

Please.

[leftieNanner]

12. My understanding of the post

Is that, as a general rule, DUers are not huge fans of any of those. To be rooting for them to succeed - especially Bolton - runs counter to most everything we support here.

It's like rooting for USC to beat UCLA if you are a Cal grad, if USC winning would put Cal in the Rose Bowl. (That happened a few years ago.) Cal never roots for USC. As we here don't root for Bolton.

Does that clear it up for you?

[underthematrix]

23. Thank you. I truly didn't understand but now I do.

[erronis]

20. To enjoy DU one should understand things like irony, innuendo, "things-ain't-what-they-seem"

I must admit I get nonplussed frequently, especially by cryptic headlines.

Enjoy!

[Soxderrube]

46. Dont feel bad

I got blocked by the "jury" once for making a sarcastic remark , I just ignore all innuendos.

[lark]

58. Welcome to DU!

Yeah you have to watch what you post here. My hot head has gotten me in trouble a couple of times, but I learn and have gotten better at reading my posts first to make sure it fits the terms of service. However, if you are respectful of the posters and support Democrats, this is a great place to come and learn things and share things as well. I find it to be a home away from home, where I can communicate with like minded people. Hope you enjoy it here as well.

[OhZone]

3. IKR

This world be cray now

[JHB]

5. Conservatives happened to it. Radical, foaming conservatives.

Conservatives determined to burn the country to the ground to take the US government back to the 19th century.

[lunatica]

6. Somehow, unbeknownst to us we stepped into the dark side

of the looking glass.

I feel it too! What universe is this?

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Go Deep State!

[nolabear]

8. LOL! I swear I want the sweater.

Also, Whatsamatta U.

[Ellen Forradalom]

22. Go Reds - Smash State

Iowa City socialists sold this button decades ago. Politics aside, it's hilarious

[MaryMagdaline]

57. That's funny!

[eleny]

9. We're cheering on their infighting

[NoMoreRepugs]

10. I'll post again - to think there can be a reconciliation of the

the parties is ludicrous, theirs is an alternate reality.

[TNNurse]

11. Counting on John Bolton is pretty unsettling.

[southerncrone]

56. No kidding

[uponit7771]

13. K&R, we're living the last season of The Man In The High Castle !!!!!

[madaboutharry]

14. The world turned upside down, that is what happened

[malaise]

15. ROFL

and it's not you alone

[maxsolomon]

16. 2 out of 3 have already let us down.

Bolton could well say something like "Trump did it, but it is in his powers".

[Control-Z]

32. Would that message sell books?

It is what I would expect from Bolton any other day but he's got a book to sell. At least that's what I'm hoping.

[Harker]

53. I don't think Bolton has any standing

as a constitutional scholar, but Scalia long ago lowered the bar for Dershbag, Bolton, and others.

Of course, they're playing to less than half the audience.

[Vinca]

17. Up is down and down is up.

[Quixote1818]

18. When Bolton and George Bush seem somewhat sain you know things have gotten fucked up! nt

[subana]

19. yes, it is pretty crazy!!

I never thought I would ever be happy about Bolton doing anything!!

[WyattKansas]

21. Because all those bad people in the world the republicans always warned you about...

Well, the republicans opened up the front door and invited them in, so the republicans could rule with an iron fist.

[Moral Compass]

24. Yeah...

Go figure. I used to worry about what was in my FBI file back in the day. Definitely didn’t think that they were the good guys—more like the American Gestapo.

Now they’re the closest thing we’ve got to good guys. They at least are concerned that there be rules.

Not like this lot of anti-democratic subversives.

25. Former Hippies Put in Horrible Position of Rooting for F.B.I.

https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/former-hippies-put-in-horrible-position-of-rooting-for-fbi

[Democrats_win]

26. Andy Borowitz's report demonstrates a wider phenomenon.

I can't explain it but we see it everywhere! It's not really--we're becoming our parents sort of thing. Or the conservatives are the new radicals---although this plays a part.

We are truly witnessing a tectonic shift in ideology. We support stability, rationality and beneficial work while the so-called conservatives support radical destruction of systems that have "helped" us somewhat. Conservatives are tools of the Kochs, the Mercers and anything that helps real people, they're against.

Or is it more basic: Governments should help the people--we say. Conservatives are just stupid fucks.

I'm Ok, you're Ok Corral. (Speaking to Conservatives)

[Cosmocat]

28. lol

Third sentence is SPOT on.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. "The Dirty Fucking Hippies Were Right"

[Ellen Forradalom]

59. A lot of people have unlikely allies these days.

Feminists are finding that out.

27. We've landed in Orwell's 1984.

[moonseller66]

29. Mixed Emotions...to paraphrase Milton Berle...

It's like seeing your wife and her lover driving off a cliff in your new Corvette!

[Elwood P Dowd]

30. Almost wet my keyboard reading that.

I'm so old, I remember watching Uncle Miltie on the family black and white TV back in the 1950s.

[PCIntern]

31. Great!

Made me laugh out loud. Only Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks are left of that generation.

[NewJeffCT]

37. Carl Reiner

is still pretty active on Twitter and one of his fondest hopes is to live long enough to see Trump gone

[RVN VET71]

44. Pete Seeger saw Obama elected and inaugurated

twice!

Happily, he passed before the Tea Party maggots matured into the current venomous MAGAts.

I hope Carl Reiner stays with us long enough to witness a restoration of the moral and ethical leadership we held under President Obama and after Trump is hounded out of office and replaced by a genuine American -- of the Democratic persuasion, of course.

[stillcool]

33. Desperation..

I know it is futile, but maybe, somehow, someway...

[barbtries]

34. i still won't buy his book.

he could have already testified. his reason for not doing so apparently was pure greed.

[Hekate]

41. We use the public library a lot. There's always a long list of patrons who sign up to read ...

...political books, so be prepared to get in line.

[barbtries]

42. if i read it

that's what i'll do. i'm waiting on my copy of A Very Stable Genius right now, and am wading through the Mueller Report.

[Danmel]

36. All we are missing are the demagorgons

We are truly in the "upside down. "

[Hekate]

40. I feel ya. Hubby & I are straight out of the '60s, and ever since Comey was fired in that despicable

...manner -- by tv comment while he was across the country doing his job, and then told he should find his own way home -- we have found ourselves in sympathy with people employed by agencies we never trusted.

indeed

[Warpy]

43. Politics makes strange bedfellows

but most of them don't last all that long. Undoubtedly the FBI will soon be back to keeping close tabs on the Quakers and Raging Grannies (not making this up) instead of a disaster in the White House who has threatened their careers.

Bolton is the fascinating one, he hasn't contradicted a single word of leaked text. He's despised by the left as a warmonger, so there is no way the propagandists can say he's part of a deep state leftist plot.

I'm just enjoying the collapse of the coverup. I'm hoping "so what?" isn't an adequate defense.

[left-of-center2012]

45. "Holy fucking shit. WTF happened to this world?"

Well, for one, the English language has declined.

[Marcuse]

47. Fasten your seat belts. We are all going for a ride.

[Miigwech]

48. Now is the time to be very careful, all the roaches are in play

[TrollBuster9090]

49. Don't forget rooting for Jeff F--ing SESSIONS, and Jim 'Shithead' Comey; and even John Roberts.

We crossed that Rubicon a long time ago when we started rooting for Jeff 'White Sheet' Sessions to hang in there, so that Trump wouldn't stick 'Judge' Jeanine in as Attorney General. Or suddenly making that shithead Comey, who, together with PUTIN provided the two hits to Clinton that put Trump over the finish line into some kind of HERO.

And what about rooting for reactionary John Roberts to be the only semi-adult in the room during a Senate trial.

What next? We start actually BELIEVING Susan Collins when she says she's 'concerned?'

[Kaiserguy]

50. Your last line

Believing Susan Collins when she say's concerned. NEVER!!

[AlexSFCA]

51. we are rooting for the institutions

bastions of career professionals

[dflprincess]

52. Sometimes the biggest thing I hate Trump for

is putting us all in situations like this.

[lambchopp59]

54. Our dumber than box of rox cousins "elected" this clown waving the stars and strips, that's what.

I'm so ashamed to have one of those, even if he did de-friend me on Facebook after I asked him to stop sharing racist posts about President Obama 12 years ago.
Shortly thereafter, I de-activated my FaceBook forever due to the hateful rants all of the past Rethug collegues of mine relentlessly posted.
Fox news and ilk have spiraled ever continuously downward below the lowest common denominator, taking us all with them.

[NCLefty]

55. This is the time for those agencies to prove to those who were skeptical of them wrong (by doing the

right thing). I'm rooting for them to do that.

[garybeck]

60. and Romney!

[Old Terp]

61. What's hard to believe is that the Republican

act like they don't believe something as bad or even worse involving Trump will not come out in the following days or weeks. Old Rude, Crude and Lewd can't keep clean.

[ariadne0614]

62. Thom Hartmann just cleaned up the language and shared this OP. n/t

[PCIntern]

63. Wow! Thanks!!

On his radio show?
