Did Barack Obama Ever Fire John Bolton? CHECKMATE LIBS!
It is hardly news that Glenn “MAGA” Greenwald has been well beyond parody since Trump was elected, but this is still amazing:
Glem has the toughest job in America at this point. I wonder if we’ll ever be able to solve the mystery of why “use of drone attacks” stopped being a criterion by which Glenn evaluated presidents in January 2017.
In fact, Trump has escalated every conflict he has overseen, after campaigning on a promise to "bomb the hell" out of any country with a terrorist in it. https://t.co/ZksBUt7FLF— Charles Я. Davis (@charliearchy) September 10, 2019
And let us not forget his novel “presidents killing people only count if it’s the result of a NEW war” theory:
It's very important to understand that people killed in escalations of new conflicts are much less dead than people killed in new wars. This is just a fact. I am not a crank and do not support Donald Trump. https://t.co/ghwIucGbmH— Scott Lemieux (@LemieuxLGM) September 10, 2019
As Charles says, you also have to admire Lyndon the Dove for not starting any new wars!

Shorter Glenn: you can’t compare Bolzonaro to Trump and other new right movements, because the former affects me, and the latter upsets Joy Reid, so it can’t be all bad. Also, the idea that the new right is not homophobic will be news to people in Poland and Hungary. https://t.co/cFinsTio8B— Alex Hazanov (@alexhazanov) September 8, 2019
Yes, anti-LGBT sentiment definitely plays no role in Trump’s authoritarianism! There is some stuff that you simply cannot make up.
