Please explain

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Why is it almost every picture of John Bolton I see in news articles is a picture of him adjusting his glasses?
He does this to try and obtain a balance between that Yosemite Sam visage and a serious diplomat and national security adviser. I will always think of him as Yosemite Sam. He is still trying to figure out where his horse is.

I can understand that each Senator and Congressperson has to consider their own political health/life, and it isn't likely to be in their best interest to make themselves a Trump target until/unless they have to or until/unless they have a lot - a lot - of company. I don't understand why they, and particularly rank and file Repugs actually defend the stuff he does.

If they want to say "the guy's scum, but he's our scum and we'd rather have him than let the Dems rule" I can understand that, and might even say something similar if there was a Democratic travesty. But I wouldn't act like he was great at what he's doing. I wouldn't wander around defending the indefensible. If the evangelicals want to say "abortion is the only issue I care about and if Trump backs us on that, we'll ignore everything else," that makes some perverted sense. But never any criticism otherwise? I voted for Carter, Clinton, Obama (duh) but I had critical issues with all of them. And I voted for them twice even with the criticism, but I never pretended the could do no wrong. I guess it's the difference in political parties and cults.

what else could it be. look at leo's comment. he's the one shitting on the Constitution and he laughs about it. It's really hard to watch so many otherwise normal people turn against everything this country stands for.
Methinks you have confused me with someone else?

That confused me at first, too, but I'm pretty sure that billy.pilgrim is referring to 1 CAT FAN, who claims to be a SC LEO, and her/his Thu Dec 05, 2019 1:27 pm post on page 1.

Vrede is correct
Please excuse

I think it's quite revealing that the cat fan seizes on little wingnut cartoons like the one he's currently regurgitating and the one with the cow farts that he'd seized on before that. This is indicative of his simplistic comprehension of issues; the cartoons and his little nonsensical one line posts about generally irrelevant shit as a reply to points made in various threads blatantly show his lack of critical thinking and his general gullibility. I would bet he'd have been a Tory during the Revolutionary war; too scared to resist or question authority. sad

Nah, the word is stupid, gullible, juvenile, uninformed, or irrelevant. Take your pick. Choose wisely.

Have yourself one of those alcoholic beverages that you rave about to drown the leftists futility. They won't know that their supporters wipe their butt with their hand, then again they wouldn't give a crap.
