It will be hard. The latest economic numbers have been good indicators that we'll be better off in 2 years unless something awful happens?

Freedom caucus behind the wheel, debt ceiling not raised as symbolic gesture, markets crash worldwide, self dick shot. Of course we already have Hitler, all we need is the depression and someone to blame and it's historical reenactment time.

Not right out of the gate, no, but if he goes through the trade deal blustering he could tank us pretty bad yea and that'll kill him.

Christ yes. Bolton is a proud warmonger who openly talks about his disdain for just the basic concept of other countries existing. Gingrich is another plutocrat supporting rear end in a top hat like Trump who wants the world divided up into glorious capitalist enclaves to be bought and sold. At least with him there's a world to carve up, Bolton thinks might makes right and isn't afraid to back it up.

If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

He once said that Honduras was bringing in extreme Islamic terrorists into the US by bringing them over the "Honduras-Mexican" border and then over the US-Mexican border. Notice how the former is in quotes and the later isn't? Look at a map.

I'm also thinking that Iran blockading the strait of Hormuz might be a bit of an incentive for markets to panic. Or maybe 25% tarifs on our two biggest trade partners happens, or maybe Russia over plays its hands on pushing NATO's buttons, or the aforementioned debt ceiling fuckery, or maybe deporting 3 million workers has adverse consequences. This is poo poo off the top of my head. Thank god I'm in my 30's, but man my parents are hosed.

That cannot be true because Trump was against the Iraq war, so of course he would never hire somebody who was crucial to its inception.

Is John Bolton really that much worse than Gingrich?

http://www.counterpunch.org/2005/04/25/john-bolton-the-undiplomatic-diplomat/ (from 2005)

quote:

Bolton�s diplomatic skills were much in evidence when on July 31, two days after North Korea had agreed to U.S. demands that it participate in multilateral talks on its nuclear program, he told a South Korean audience that North Korea was a �hellish nightmare� ruled by a �tyrannical leader.� Pyongyang replied reasonably that it would not attend talks if Bolton (a �blood-sucker� and �human scum�) represented the U.S. No matter. As Vice President Cheney, Bolton�s chief patron, has said of the administration, �We don�t negotiate with evil; we defeat it.�

In the last week or so Bolton�s personal bullying has weakened his prospects for Congressional approval as ambassador to the United Nations, an organization he once disparaged in a speech to a World Federalists audience. �There are 38 floors to the U.N. building in New York. If you lost 10 of them, it wouldn�t make a bit of difference.� That comment�s come back to haunt him, I suspect in part because it conjures up a mental image of planes crashing into the UN headquarters in New York. The extraordinary unilateralism of Bush policy, and incessant gripes about the UN�s failure to meet its �international responsibilities� (to rubber-stamp U.S. imperialism) suggests that Bolton�s nomination might indeed be intended to smite the international body bringing it down like the walls of Jericho.

Others past statements haunt him too. He allegedly screamed �You�re fired,� at his subordinate Lynne D. Finney when they both worked in the General Counsel�s Office of the Agency for International Development in the 1980s. Why? Because she�d refused to try to persuade World Health Organization delegates to weaken restrictions on the marketing of infant formula in the developing world that would in her judgment cause product misuse and infant deaths. As she tells it, Bolton shouted that �Nestle was an important company and that he was giving me a direct order from President Reagan.� Turned out that he was lying about Reagan and the top USAID administrator allowed her to keep her post.

In 1994 Bolton went berserk when another USAID worker, Melody Townsel, reported to her superiors that a contractor for an AID project in Kyrgystan was performing poorly. Bolton, then legal counsel for the contractor, �proceeded� in her words �to chase me through the halls of a Russian hotel � throwing things at me, shoving threatening letters under my door and, generally, behaving like a madman.� She says that he kept pounding on her hotel door for two weeks shouting threats, making her life a �hell.� (You know, like North Korea.) Despite Bolton�s efforts to smear her as a felon headed for jail time, and to label her a lesbian, she kept her job and won promotion.

Then, to return to where I started, there was the matter of those Cuban bioterror weapons. Carl W. Ford Jr., the former director of the State Department�s Bureau of Intelligence and Research at the State Department (which by the way, concluded that Iraq did not have WMD threatening the world) has told Congress that the bureau�s chief bioweapons analyst Christian Westermann questioned Bolton�s assessment of Cuba�s weapons programs.

that was my favorite bullshit narrative, I think.

"Ok sure he said 'bomb the oil, take the oil', and sure he said he'd murder suspected terrorist families and we should conduct surprise attacks like some kinda barbarian horde, and he said we should torture as much as possible, but he clearly won't be interventionist because he said the iraq war was bad!"
