I’ve been thinking in the same ballpark. I’d bet Bolton freaked and canceled the meeting, Trump threw a huge tantrum, and Bolton said “fine, fuck it, I quit,” which of course prompted “you can’t quit, you’re fired.”

“9/11 - Never Forget!”

“I had a friend once... he took some acid. Now he thinks he’s a fire hydrant. It’s OK, until he pisses on your lighter... Kinda smells, kinda cool, kinda funny anyway. SAAAAATAN!! SAAAAAAAATAN!”

There are a ton of folks who wouldn’t move inside if you handed them the keys to Trump Tower.

I was recently asked to develop “KPIs and Metrics” for my team (we basically set up web sites and social media that our company sells). I said we already have that, since we either hit deadlines or we don’t. There’s literally nothing else to measure - if they sell more and we can’t get them live on time, that means we…

You think THOSE sleeves are bad... did you follow the link about the other dress?

Ha, is it possible that Ivanka, of all things, could help sink the 2020 election by pissing off the MRAs? Trump supporters are so fucking weird.

You must have been unkind to someone. You’ll always be ungrey in our hearts, G&T.

I think the most plausible answer is always “the most recent thing that happened that made Trump look bad in the news.” In this case, I’m guessing the Tailban summit thing. Who knows what side of that idea Bolton was on, but undoubtedly Trump threw a tantrum in response. I assume Bolton just had enough with it and…

Alabania is currently recovering from the hurricane, so it might take a while.

Are you sure about that? I’ve noticed that sometimes posts appear to be erroneously greyed, but then when I refresh the page they’re back to approved. Kinja being Kinja?

I haven’t had time to dive deep into that yet, but from my cursory reading, I thought the word was that Trump told the CIA to pull the asset because he doesn’t like the idea of spying, because it could make other leaders (cough, daddy Putin) upset if they found out.

Bingo. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow” = “First thing in the morning, I’ll announce I fired you and since all the morons who clap for me believe any pile of shit that falls out of my mouth, it doesn’t matter whether you resigned or not.”

From earlier today (8:44am ET), John Bolton talking on the phone outside the West Wing of the White House.

Climate change is a bitch.

Edit: I see several others have made the exact same comment, but it still stands, so I’ll leave it with this “sorry I didn’t read the other comments” note.

Nooo! That’s the most important one!

IT JUST SO HAPPENS THEY STAYED AT MY RESORTS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT OTHER THAN THEY HAVE GOOD TASTE AND THE DESIRE TO TAKE HUGE, EXPENSIVE DETOURS!

One of the most conservative piece of shit bosses I’ve ever had (who naturally thinks nobody should have healthcare, but used the March of Dimes to help out with a difficult pregnancy) was a huge Dead fan. Once, someone kind of raised an eyebrow about it to her, and she got super offended. “We’re not all pot smoking…

I’m 37 this month, one of the oldest people in my organization, have managed teams of multiple sizes and enormous projects and single-handedly developed enterprise-level web applications at previous jobs. Last year I got laid off from an agency and started at the bottom of this place writing social media posts (because…
