    Bolton is a horrible human and mad on foriegn policy. But he's not a traitor like many in Trump's circle.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Yeah, a lifelong conservative who helped out every major campaign since Goldwater & kept pushing the "we must go to war with Iran for Democracy" argument... is somehow a pinko lib cuz the narrative insists so.

    And people bought into it.

    Reporter: "20 years ago, you said not complying with a subpoena was an impeachable offense."

    Sen. Lindsey Graham: "Nothing's changed."
    Oh? Hmmm....I wonder what he meant by that.

    He means he would impeach a Democrat for it.

    Didn't he say in the 2016 primary that nominating Trump will doom the GOP and that they will deserve it?

    Thought as much.

    In other self-owning moments ...

    The law office that has been tasked with Rudy's criminal probe ... is none other than his old office.

    I'm rather ignorant in this field but isn't that a conflict of interest?

    He was the US Attorney for the Southern District. It's a Federal post and he hasn't had anything to do with the justice Dept for decades. So it's not a conflict.

    Ok, I just don't want any technicalities letting him off the hook.

    On this date in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published profiles of the U.S. House Representative from Florida's 8th Congressional District, Bill Posey, the U.S. House Representative from Florida's 8th District, the author of HB 1503, aka “The Birther Bill” that would force all presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates. When asked if he believed President Obama was an American citizen in the wake of that, he refused to answer, calling the question “irrelevant”. Posey’s also obsessed with overturning the Affordable Care Act, having participated in every attempt to repeal it, and then voted for the 2013 Government Shutdown to attempt to stop it (also voting against re-opening the government when the time came). His one positive quality is that he wants to fund medical research into autism, but it comes with the caveat that he’s only doing so because he believes it's possible that vaccines cause autism (but not in climate change). He's also been a part of GOP efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, and voted to defund the Department of Homeland Security as part of a Republican temper tantrum over President Obama's executive orders on immigration.

    Bill Posey dodged hosting a town hall in 2017 by instead, opting to call his constituents to let them know he was having a telephone town hall… WHILE IT WAS ALREADY UNDER WAY. He was apparently still distressed that upon learning this, ten thousand of his voters bombarded him with complaints, not only about his availability, but how the GOP was planning on exercising control of both Congress and the White House, and defended the move because “Gabby Giffords got shot at a town hall”. His constituents then further berated him, because Giffords herself called on all members of Congress to hold town halls, as their duty remains to the people.

    Florida’s 8th Congressional District has a +11 lean in the Cook Partisan Voting Index, an insurmountable advantage towards Bill Posey’s Democratic challenger in 2018, Sanjay Patel. Still, Patel was fundraising well, and that might be why Posey lost it and took it upon himself to say you can identify Patel’s supporters of “having the dumpiest damn house in the neighborhood.” (These are people who live within his district.) Which, GOP class warfare and all that, looking down their nose at those with lower real estate worth.

    In the end, Posey won re-election with 60% of the vote. Posey has returned to Washington, and resumed being a clueless moron as a legislator:


    In 2020, a 72 year old Bill Posey will face off with Jim Kennedy, a 44 year old Navy veteran and aerospace engineer who seems to be more than sharp enough to give Posey a big scare. Especially given the fact that he’s going to be running against a true American patron, and in July of 2018, after Donald Trump gave a bizarre joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, where he denied Russians interfered in the 2016 election, effectively siding with the Russian dictator’s denials over his own intelligence community, Bill Posey offered his support to the president, arguing that maybe that interference isn’t so bad, because “America has done it to other countries for the past 50 years.

    We haven’t forgotten, and neither should the people of Florida’s 8th.
