See but Kissinger felt like a worthy adversary. A cold, calculating man who you could despise but also know he was smart and crucial in shepherding the empire.

Bolton is a raving lunatic who just wants to bomb Iran and will settle for any point on the map remotely close to it. He didn't earn shit, he made his name during Bush 2 when America had no powerful adversaries. He didn't mastermind shit, he just got to ride with the new cabal in power.

Dick Cheney is my generation's Kissinger. Dick Cheney is who we direct all our hexes and curses towards. And unlike Kissinger, Cheney made sure to get paid handsomely for his tenure as evil advisor to the emperor.

First as tragedy, then as farce.

Nah it's gotta be McConnell, for a few reasons but mostly because it'll probably be very, very soon by the look of things

Dick Cheney is still alive

As horrible as John Bolton is (and fuck msnbc and all MSM for giving him the time of day), we're setting ourselves up for disappointment by choosing a 75 year old.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean many Kissinger obits were written back in the 80s and 90s, we can hold onto our hopes for years. I'd say it's a mistake picking someone so close to death when we could have another 20 years of Boltonposting

[–] HelloKittyGoodbye@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Can we do Dick Cheney instead?

[–] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's what I said in my comment too. Cheney served on two presidencies and made bank behind the scenes for his bloodshed. He shot a man in the face and got an apology for it. Cheney is the devil.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Counter point: Shooting Bush in the face is the best thing any American politician has ever done.

Edit: He did not :(

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He shot a random lawyer acquaintance, not Bush

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn, for some reason I remember it as Bush :(

It's not that I wanted to defend Dick Cheney, I just wanted to live in a world where Bush got shot in a hunting "accident"

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Your heart remembers this cruel cosmos denying us the shoes connecting shoe

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

He tried to kill Bush, so I'm not sure how I feel about him

If we start focusing our energy now we might be able to time Biden slipping in the shower just right for maximum chaos

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

you know right after I typed that out I realized that they must have a fucking contraption to bathe that man. No way are they leaving him to a non-slip mat and some hand rails. Like he's gotta be in some kind of circus wire harness. I doubt he's getting it done alone either. Probably a whole ass shower team.

So anyway, if we start focusing our energy now, we might be able to time him slipping down the stairs of his airplane for maximum chaos.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I'm convinced that Joe Biden died quietly at the start of the pandemic and the Joe we're seeing is an animatronic puppet designed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. That's why he was putting out videos from his "basement" at the time. They were testing to see if anyone noticed.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Biden comes shuffling out to the media after being AWOL for 48 hours. He's grinning but he has a black eye, a big lump on his forehead. He's also moving slower than usual because he's limping slightly.

"Before you ask - I slipped in the shower. I've been checked out and everything is fine." He suddenly goes off script "And I didn't break my hip!" The uncomfortable silence only lasts a few seconds but he knows he just made his job of seeming normal ten times harder. "So you see..."

[–] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe dont , Wishing Kissinger Dead was a extremly unsuccesfull bit..

we should wish him Health and Longivity..

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Doing this right now

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What about Oliver North.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Elliot Abrams still out there ghouling it up as well.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Elliot Abrams is a better pick than Bolton, I have to admit

Still one of the most surreal thing I've ever watch, like Fox guys probably thought Mullen was a right wing personality because of a tweet or something but still

I know it already happened but it's going to be a long time before I stop wishing death to Kissinger.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We gotta make sure he stays down there for at least a year and a day before we stop.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

why why why why why why not biden, jack?

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Biden pulled America out of Afghanistan at least. John Bolton did foreign policy for Bush and Reagan.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Trump started it so Biden had no choice.

Plus the introduction of mass produced fentanyl made opium less profitable, so the CIA had no reason to stay anymore. It wasn’t some anti-imperialist move, it was an empire cutting its losses to prepare for war in Ukraine (began only months later)

Are we really currently defending genocide Joe who has started multiple wars and backs the genocide of Gaza?

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You asked why I picked Bolton instead of Biden, no need to get smug over me answering your question by telling you why I dislike Bolton more. Bolton is an unapologetic war hawk with him hands all over American foreign policy since the 80s.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

So is Biden and he’s actively in charge of the military right now and using it to enact genocide

[–] asg101@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Cheney next is my vote.
