Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

John Bolton was one of the dumbest people in government that I’ve had the “pleasure” to work with. A sullen, dull and quiet guy, he added nothing to National Security except, “Gee, let’s go to war.” Also, illegally released much Classified Information. A real dope!"

Replies from Jeff Tiedrich, the wife of one of the Krassensteins (who were banned from Twitter at this point, I believe), and BrooklynDad_Defiant. The gang’s all here!

That's classic lib twitter. Their political shift was like that of Social Liberal Party in Brazil.

I made the mistake of looking at BrooklynDad_Defiant!'s profile, click here to die immediately.

Man it'd really own us all if John Bolton was imprisoned for the rest of his life

Only Nixon could establish relations with the PRC.

Only Trump could prosecute John Bolton.

Now that they're targeting key resistance figures like John Bolton, Trump has really gone too far!

Lol why? The guy is the biggest imperialist and had been calling for war with Iran and China for decades.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

He was rude to Trump once or twice, that kind of disloyalty will not stand!
