Yet he hired him simply because he agreed on one on one specific issue. The funny thing is Bolton hates the media and went in assuming nothing bad about Trump, then he actually worked with him and realized how retarded he is. And you people actually believe he just went in just to smear Trump. Anything to avoid dealing with the truth. You can like his policies all you want but you are doing the same thing Democrats were doing with Biden age but for Trump.
Or he hates him because he doesn't want to bomb brown people.
But its cool to see you defend Boltons position.

They always slow walk it. I bailed someone out the other day it took 36 hours for them to be released. They don't go by what they see on TV. They have to get an official notice of the pardon before even thinking about processing the release. Also some might have picked up new charges in the jail which would hold up their release.
If your side wants to have a conversation about the treatment of prisoners I am all for it. There is so much abuse going on in prisons but I suspect as usual your side only cares about your side being abused and don't want to fix it for everyone you just want your side to not get the abuse that your side supoorted. Let's be clear, it's your side that has always been against ethical treatment of prisoners.
And let me spoil for you how this goes. DoJ investigates. Finds many examples of crimes by the guards. Then they ask them nicely to follow the law. I have seen it time and time again. They almost never prosecuted these people for their crimes if it's considered systemic.

If Bolton was the only person saying it sure, but almost literally everyone who doesn't have their nose up Trump's ass says the same thing publicly. And half the brown nosers say it behind his back. There's very few true believers around him. Almost all are just seeking to use him to advance their own careers.
We will see - I hope its just that.
Not sure why it would be selective and not all if that were the case.
So your argument is anyone that doesn't trash Trump has their nose up his ass and everyone that trashes him are independent and correct?

No, there's plenty of brown nosers who can atleast partially admit the truth like Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, Mike Pence, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, etc.
Liz Cheaney / Mitt Romney / Bill Barr
These are your examples?!?!!?!?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Would absolutely love a closer relationship with Russia. Shared cultural history with shared values. Gangsters run the country but that is the case with many countries. Look at the UK who allowed their young girls to be raped by foreign invaders.
Nothing would be better for the future of this world than a true lasting peace with Russia.

Martin Luther King Would Still **** Trump's **** Up (Into the American Twilight Edition)
I don't have the bandwidth to go deeply into the complete ****ing over of everything Martin Luther King, Jr. lived and died for with today's presidential inauguration of a man who is the opposite of King in every way possible. So rather than go with a whole history lesson about how King would have had hundreds of thousands of us in the streets today to show we won't go gentle into that Trump night, I'm just gonna give you a couple of quotes from King's 1959 sermon, "Unfulfilled Hopes." It's about how people deal with dreams that are shattered (in fact, he would title a later version "Shattered Dreams"), and he makes reference to how, in the Bible, the apostle Paul wanted "to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to Spain" but never gets to Spain and ends up in a prison in Rome.
In describing how we react to disappointment, King talks about various kinds of people, including this:
"Have you ever seen mean people? Now, sometimes you take a good psychological analysis of that person. You look back, and you discover that that person had a distant Spain in mind that he wanted to go to, and he had a great hope and a great desire and because of the forces of circumstance something happened and he never got to that Spain. And he ended up confined in a little cell of life that had been brought up and built up around him by the very forces of circumstance. And now he lives in his cell, bitter and angry with life, and he has a sort of demonical grudge against life. This is his response. And he seeks to solve his frustration by taking all of this out on other people. And so maybe sometimes he’s mean to his children, or he’s mean to his wife, or she’s mean to her husband, or mean to people round and about because he can’t find life itself. Life is intangible in a sense; it’s invisible. We, we, we don’t see life; we see the manifestations of life. And you can never take life and hit life and beat up on life. And so he discovers that he can’t get life itself to beat on and pay back for what the universe has done to him, so he finds people that are tangible, and he finds things that are tangible, and he takes this bitterness and this hate out on these things. And this is the solution to his problem, he thinks. The bitterness within, and the anger, he becomes angry with the universe. And he fights the universe through people and things. This is one way that people deal with this problem of unfulfilled hopes. They react with bitterness and mercilessness and meanness."
No matter how much he cruises through the world, Trump believes he's owed more and more: more money, more power, more love, more worship. And because he can never be satiated, he's put himself in that "little cell of life." King would **** Trump's **** up because he understood exactly who someone like Trump is, how vain and small and awful he is.
And since teaching the truth about the history of this country is about to become banned in many places, here's what King, in the same sermon, had to say for anyone who tries to cover for the sadists and racists in the American past:
"I look back over the dark days of slavery. Let nobody fool you about it. We can romanticize all we want to about the beauty of slavery. There are those who would still try to romanticize about the beauty of slavery, and they, they have their minds back to those good old days. Slavery was a tragic thing. All that the Negro had to look forward to was rows of cotton, sizzling sun, the whip of the boss, and the barking of bloodhounds. This is what he faced. It is tragic to be cut off from some things, but there is nothing more tragic than to be cut off from your language, cut off from your family, cut off from your roots. This is what the Negro faced—going over in ships out of Africa, huddled up in ships, not able even to talk to each other, thrown up and brought over to distant countries to work, nothing in their past to hold on to."
His point was that Black people faced horror upon horror and still found the strength to keep going, keep fighting, and keep the faith. It's a lesson I truly hope I can live up to in the next four years.
(15 years ago, I wrote about how King would tell Democrats to sack up. Sadly, it's still relevant.)

No wonder your approval rating is the lowest ever for a president-elect leading up to an inauguration.
According to the AP, you have a 41% approval rating.
