"Genuinely Terrifying Prospect": Greenwald on Palin, Giuliani & Bolton Serving in Trump's Cabinet
Democracy Now ^ | 11/10/2016 | Staff

Posted on 11/10/2016 11:54:39 AM PST by simpson96

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the names that are being now talked about as a possible Trump Cabinet, (snip)

GLENN GREENWALD: Amy, that question was some kind of form of torture that ought to be outlawed. I could barely withstand listening to that. You know, I think, honestly, my brain hasn’t yet processed all of that. I think most people’s brains haven’t. It’s still very—I remember last night, I was on Twitter, and I—someone linked to a tweet from Donald, which I clicked on. And in his biography, it now just says, very simply, "President-elect of the United States," with his huge picture and then "Donald J. Trump" underneath. And it was startling. It’s still very difficult to believe, very difficult to believe that Donald Trump is the president-elect of the United States and will actually be president of the United States in two months. I don’t think we’ve even begun to process or analyze the actual repercussions of that.

And then, when you go to this sort of second-order horror, it’s almost like a wicked nightmare, like the worst—like Sarah Palin as the secretary of interior, or Rudy Giuliani, who I’ve long regarded as probably the most authoritarian and borderline fascist mainstream figure in American political life, to be the attorney general in charge of the prosecutorial power and the FBI, or Chris Christie, a lifelong prosecutor, in charge of the mechanisms of homeland security, or John Bolton, one of the most sociopathic warmongers on the planet, in charge of anything—these are genuinely terrifying prospects. And so, no, I don’t have much intelligent to say about that, because I haven’t really started to even accept it yet.

Palin, Giuliani, Bolton... not nearly as terrifying as Van Jones, Holder, Lynch, Gina McCarthy (EPA), Jeh Johnson, Janet Napolitano, etc.

John Bolton wasn't he the one that decided or help decide that Sharia law was the bases of Iraqi law?

Which was a huge mistake of the Iraqi war. If we're going to fight these terrorist we need to be against their foundation of our murder.

Well at least you added in the caption, “... and their dogs.”

Nowadays, the photo might just as well be captioned as two examples of mixed species partnering.
