I also know the principles, and assumed you were joking; I should have ended thusly 😉

Very nice poem, thank you for sharing your writings with us from time to time.

These people must not be allowed to fade into the woodwork. It must be demonstrated that the old boy permastate network offers no protection.

Unfortunately the same lesson has not been learned here in Israel. Too many Likudniks and religious Zionists still think the Left is respectable and will “honor the will of the voters” and surrender power without a fight.

Since you write “ Between John Bolton and John Durham I’ll never trust a big moustache again.” I must ask—

Have you seen the Babylon Bee headline? “John Bolton Eludes FBI By Blending Into A Herd of Walruses”.

This LOL headline by the Bee on Bolton’s moustache and the Walrus is not new to their coverage.

Check out the photo and headline on Bolton from 2019

NOTE — just read that LINK for the headline, too!
WHICH ONE IS FUNNIER?!?!

I think the dissemination of classified documents
by John Boltin is the live one.

The NYTimes reports that CIA info on intelligence abroad involving Bolten was shared with FBIs Kash Patel in advance of the raid.

Yet the nature of the intel is not known.

The plot doth thicken.

After reading the first 2 hours, I’m stopping. It seems that Maxwell is lying, mentally impaired, or just dumb. And Trump’s lawyer & US Attorney Todd Blanche seems to be incapable of uttering a coherent sentence.
