Trump rejects John Bolton not because he's deranged but because he has a mustache. You can't make t

[calimary]

52. John Bolton! What a total fuckwad.

However, it wouldn't have been his ridiculous mustache that I would (or DO) find so off-putting. It would be his constant throbbing hard-on for war. Probably the only way he can get hard, anymore. He wanted war like an infant wants its mother's breastmilk.

He was a signatory of the highly notorious and war-mongering cabal PNAC - Project for a New American Century. This den of evil started pushing then-President Bill Clinton to go to war in Iraq. They were unsuccessful. But they did get their way after bush/cheney stole the election in 2000. And a bunch of 'em turned up in that foul scrum of White House counselors and other officials.

This group was a piece-o-work. Chaired by Mr. Perpetually-WRONG himself, Bill Kristol. Other nasty war-mongering weasels whose names you might find familiar, from their infestations of several CON administrations from ronald reagan onward, included dick cheney, Elliott Abrams, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, THREE Kagans (Donald, Frederick, & Robert), Jeane Kirkpatrick, Ken Adelman, retired General Barry McCaffery (TV talking head), Michael O'Hanlon (!!!!?!?!?!?! - who, being from the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution, should have known better), Richard Allen, Gary Bauer, Bill "national scold" Bennett, Charles Krauthammer (Pox Noise columnist/talking head), Stephen Cambone, Steve Forbes (!), John Lehman, Frank Gaffney, Ed Meese (reagan's oft-investigated Attorney General who's other claim to fame was his ridiculous pornography report), Richard Perle, John McCain (!?!), Dan Quayle (THE infamous Mr. "Potatoe" Head, himself), Robert Zoellick, Norm Podhoretz, Randy Scheunemann (watch out for this guy. He keeps turning up again and again. He was the guy who tried to "coach" Sarah Palin for her VP debate with Joe Biden and finally went away shaking his head in dismay, William Schneider (another columnist/talking head), Malcolm Wallop, Vin Weber, and James Woolsey. AND "jeb!" bush. Yep. He's on there, too.

These were true chicken-hawks. A whole insidious, scheming, conniving, card-carrying coven of them. In every sense of the word. NEVER served in the military. NEVER wore their country's uniform. NEVER saw combat. NEVER got their hands dirty. NEVER had any skin in the game. NEVER went to war (except, for some of them, from the comfort and safety of the White House Situation Room). NEVER put their asses on the line. NEVER shed a drop of blood for their country. They just wanted everybody else to have to do that, while they stayed home where it was safe and sheltered and comfy. One exception: Rumsfeld, of all people. He actually did serve. But lucky for him, he served between conflicts. After the Korean War. So, yeah, he did wear his country's uniform. But he, too, never had to put himself in harm's way.

I must admit, the first time I scanned this list, I was shocked to see Michael O'Hanlon's name on it. What the fuck was HE doing, lying down in the same bed with those human vermin? For awhile, early in the bush/cheney regime, he was just about the ONLY voice any hapless purported "news" network seemed able to find to voice any opposition to that criminal squatters' White House. For awhile, back then, the Brookings Institution was the ONLY think tank or corresponding organization on the left, to even try to counter the metastasizing onslaught of CONservative groupings like the Heritage Foundation, the Hoover Institute, the Cato Institute, and the American Enterprise Institute (which was the spawning ground, home, and haven of the PNAC). Even back then, there were at least these FOUR on the side of the bad guys, compared to only ONE, Brookings, on our side, and it was pretty damn flimsy at that.
