‘I Heard That You’re Actually The Devil Incarnate’

Appropriate, considering this administration is “Hell Incorporated”.

Good old boy, tongue in cheek ribbing. They’ll have a lot of nyuck, nyucks in the future.

I’m sure Satan is quite upset at the disparaging comparison.

Perhaps because someone in this administration, Mattis, can actually speak the truth.

And then he pulled out a ka-bar and gutted the son of a bitch.

What? That didn’t happen? Give it time…

I’m pretty sure Satan could get a security clearance before Bolton.

“I heard that you’re actually the devil incarnate and I wanted to meet you,” Mattis told Bolton as the two shook hands and walked up the front steps, laughing.

“Yes! And i heard you’re Beelzebub’s feces,” Bolton replied, returning the laughter. “We’ll get along great.” The two smiled at each other with that anxious, devilish twinkle in their eyes.

Getting closer and closer to Presidenté por vida.

Viet Nam Combat veteran warmly shakes hands with a man who proudly admitted in his memoirs that Viet Nam was a lost cause and that the best thing to do was to hide out in the National Guard to avoid being drafted or deployed.

What strange bedfellows.

Jokes aside, the two will reportedly not see eye-to-eye on many foreign policy issues. On North Korea, Mattis has been vocal about his support for diplomacy,

Which one dodged VN by joining the National Gard/ Reserves and which one has seen combat and dead soldiers and civilians?

Not so much. What they have in common is that they are both recalcitrant militarists. Mattis is just more low key about it. They serve each other’s purposes.

From the same CNN article.

The post-Hicks era is a vast unknown for aides, who worry Trump will unravel without the near-constant presence of his sounding board and interpreter. Since she announced she was leaving the White House, Hicks has only been in the West Wing intermittently. This has resulted, at times, in the President summoning her to the Oval Office – “Hope! Hopey!” – when she’s not there.

Bizarre and troubling.

“How’s that Hopey-Changey thing workin’ out for ya?”

I love the “joke within a joke” nature of your comment! I’m referring to the Michael Cohen reference, of course.

Shallow humor, deep truths.
