        True. But Bolton is one of those terrifying PNAC ghouls who has the personal connections to make his insane visions a reality. I'm not sure this Hegseth guy is capable of not saying the quiet parts out loud.

          Bolton had these connections in the first Trump term and squandered them. He's burned. Hegseth gets to be the fresh dweey-eyed face of fascism, without the stink of loserdom and defeat hanging over his head. Past that, saying the quiet part out loud is how he got where he is today.

          Now, is he capable of doing competent administration? Probably not. But neither was Bolton. Hegseth's mostly just a tie-back to the right-wing media establishment, though. He'll juice public approval for the next four years of wars in a way a mummy like Bolton can't manage anymore. Doing the talking head circuit Dick Cheney style to slap a pile of Top Secret documents and NYT Op-Eds while insisting Bolivia has WMDs and Radical Islamic Terrorism will be his job. And he'll excel at that.

    Oh this is so amazing, I love this truly and unironically. This man is gonna fall so hard, I'm absolutely giddy to see what happens when Trump throws him under the bus.

      Seeing as he knows trump personally it's obviously just an act. The question is what is he trying to get out of it? My guess is he's beefing a little with trump over attention and wants to try to convert them to being his followers.

      It's entirely cynical on his part and this just reinforces my belief that QAnon was always an op to distract everyone from the very real Epstein case which of course Musk has connections to

    You know what? I do wish I wasn't able to perceive a better world. All it gets me is feeling like shit, 100% of the time.

    Tbf litterally the first thing was Nexstar media "HOW GABBARD PICK yadda yadda bolton " Plastered all over every local news station. So there is a point in digging on the establishment freaking out over it. Still the fren Qanon zone is cringe really guy?

    As if they didn't just go through a campaign of smearing each other Red in some form or the other. I will absolutely dunk on Bolton. Easy to do.

    cap-think But then again from Musk's perspective how do you do it without drawing too much attention to McDaddy being a bought stooge from the first term and totally not also bought his 2nd term? Silly Musk Melon melon-musk we wouldn't be in half this mess right now if it wasn't for Trump doing whatever Bolton and Renaissance Technologies (major bribers) wanted the first round.

    Want to twist their arm a bit while dunking on Bolton?

    did-someone not get his vanity Super Pac refilled this year?

    Awwww whitte Johnny B only got $260k in his tiny bank grift account this round instead of the $4 Million he got in Trump's first term.
