Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    When Trump picked Bolton I noted that he's the first person in Trump's orbits w/the bureaucratic chops of (and learned from) Dick Cheney.https://twitter.com/MicahZenko/status/995372812947935233 …

    Wow. Trump admin never held a senior-level debate over ending the Iran nuclear deal. (Bush admin also never held a senior debate over invading Iraq in 2002 or 2003.) http://nyti.ms/2jQUosf  pic.twitter.com/KkEF59tGRY

        And Cheney's mentor in such matters, in the Nixon WH, was Kissinger. Bolton is one of HAK's bastard progeny, another of the things for which HAK will ultimately answer to history.

        Know who's academic bastard progeny I am? Fredric Jameson. Also Ariel Dorfman, which I'm more comfortable with.

        And now Duke has them both. If you actually studied with either, I envy you. One of the 'Special Papers' in which I was examined at Oxford (B.A. in Philosophy, Politics & Economics) was in Marxism, and I read a lot of Jameson at that time. He had a major impact in China, I think.

        Their minds were made up (by ideology, or, more accurately put, by prejudice). Wouldn't want to confuse them with facts. Although the likelihood of any uncomfortable facts coming to light in this WH is pretty small.
