Trump needs a pipeline for his sniffling sauce?
EDIT: Also, why the fuck does Bolton look like he’s got McConnell-like turtle wattles growing in the picture linked? Are the wattles multiplying? Or has he never had a chin?
He’s always looked like that. Or at least, in the months I’ve been aware of his existence. I’m sure that at some point he was a normal-looking baby, but that was a long time ago.

Holy forking shirtballs! If I had done something like this way back when I was in the military and had a clearance, my ass would have been in jail. As a minimum he should lose his clearance, and therefore his job.
I suppose there’s a chance he did it on purpose in order to try and scare Venezuela, but this is the Trump clusterfuck we’re talking about. They don’t do subtle.
You know, that’s probably it-- doing it on purpose. I doubt we’re sending troops anywhere at this point. Someone said, “Write something the press and libtards will go nuts over!”
On the other hand, it probably wasn’t on purpose. The countries weren’t misspelled, right? So it wasn’t Orange Boy…
DesertDog:
How about a Potempkin wall? Build a mile section near El Paso, Tucson, or some other location near an airport capable of taking Air Force One so he won’t aggravate his bonespurs. 700 feet high so he can dig out that GoT poster again and with TRUMP on it in big letters. You could hire a couple hundred brown-skinned actors to mill around the other side, looking up plaintively and shaking their impotent fists.
Trump comes and sees it, then returns to Mar a Lago content that his legacy is assured. It’s left up even after he out of the White House, one way or another, "as a warning to the next ten generations that some [del]favors[/del] Presidents come with too high a price.
Looks like Junco Canche (currently filling in for Lalo Alcarez drawing La Cucaracha has been reading the Dope…
They should try The Bank of Evil
Rachel Maddow apparently made that point last night, as well:
President Donald Trump has been obsessively repeating a horror tale of trafficked women in cars at the southern border, their mouths taped shut, so they “can’t even breathe.” The problem is that trafficked women and border officials apparently have no idea what he’s talking about. Now Rachel Maddow, along with some media outlets, believe it could be possible that Trump witnessed it with his very own eyes — on the violent movie “Sicario: Day of the Soldado.”
Wait – that suggests something. The President of the US seeing something in a movie and thinking it was real? Where have we heard that before?
This moving tale of the World War II bomber pilot who chose to go down with his disabled plane rather than abandon a trapped gunner in his dying moments has prompted a good deal of philosophical debate: Did the pilot perform a supremely noble and heroic act of self-sacrifice in providing comfort to a dying comrade in the final moments of the latter’s life, or did he needlessly throw away his life (and deprive his side of an experienced pilot) for an inconsequential and transitory benefit? Either way, the vehemence of the debate demonstrates how compelling many have found this anecdote to be.
As suggested in the example cited above, this tale was a favorite of Ronald Reagan, who repeated it many times during his 1980 presidential campaign. The following excerpt from an April 1980 news report about a Reagan campaign swing through Wisconsin demonstrates how frequently and effectively the actor-turned-politician made use of it:
…
one also recalls that Ronald Reagan had played Secret Service agent “Brass” Bancroft in Murder in the Air * (1940). in which a high-tech “inertia Projector” was able to knock down enemy aircraft and missiles from the ground. Some people have suggested that this fed Reagan’s appetite for the high-tech fixes that became the Strategic Defense Initiative, or “Star Wars”
Well, Maddow DID say you don’t expect such misremembering fiction as fact from a “normal administration”.
*The previous film, Secret Service of the Air , featured high-tech “coyotes” smuggling Mexicans over the border in planes. Maybe Trump should watch it.
Whoops; yeah, it was Maddow, not Hayes. You’d think I’d be able to tell them apart. :smack:
I always thought he looked like a young Captain Binghamton from McHale’s Navy .
Not to mention those damn war rooms.
The previous Republican administration seemed to model its anti-terrorism strategy after “24 ”.
Reagan saw Rambo and commented “Boy, after seeing ‘Rambo’ last night, I know what to do the next time this happens.”
Cal, next time you link to an image, right-click on it and choose “Copy image address.”
Carry on.

Year-old news.
I’m sure she needs another round. Being a spiritual charlatan doesn’t come cheap.
Just want to point out, again, that she is the celebrity wife of Jonathan Cain, keyboard player for Journey.

True words. People always defended Journey by claiming tha Neil Schon was an awesome guiter player. If he was such an awesome player, how come Journey’s music sucks so much, hmm?
Hey! Don’t stop believing!
As I write this, it’s only one asylum-seeker (the first) so far, but more will start getting sent back.
