The guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran.

@draken
Please forgive Col. North. He has "no recollection" of his past life.

[purrperl@noc.social]

@draken

Seriously though, people change their minds.
Some even have a change of heart.
You can't hold Lt. Col. Oliver North to what he once did.
Maybe prison time changed his views.

[draken@masto.nyc]

@purrperl
He didn't do any prison time.

[o_o@mastodon.nu]

@draken Isn't it great that they found a specialist to comment on the situation?

[purrperl@noc.social]

@draken

Damn! Arrested and convicted, but not imprisoned?
Did he claim he was Princess Anastasia?

[obscurestar@mastodon.social]

@draken Come on now. He didn't JUST sell missiles to Iran. They were using the profits from those missiles to buy drugs from a ruthless south american dictator to help prop up his fascist regime, then dumping those drugs on the streets of liberal US cities as a means of attacking the civil rights movement and re-enslaving PoC via the 'War on Drugs'.

I mean geez. You think the Republicans would have run him for senate if he was MERELY a hypocrite and not a full on piece of garbage?

[draken@masto.nyc]

@obscurestar
And, like garbage, they recycled that waste of life.

@draken

His compass is broken

[michaelormsby@mastodon.art]

@draken “Fox news” + “analyst” is the ultimate oxymoron.

[draken@masto.nyc]

@solownh
It was never calibrated to begin with.

[draken@masto.nyc]

@michaelormsby
Well yes but that's beside the point.

@draken "Coherence" is not very high on the list of values for MAGAts...

[draken@masto.nyc]

@faraiwe
Bold of you to assume MAGA has any values...

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@draken they DO, it's just that they are entirely perverted, twisted and beyond the ken of decent humans.

They VALUE the ability to commit abuse, above all else, for instance.

@draken way back when presidents still thought they needed a fall guy, because someone might otherwise put limits on them

[mjj@mstdn.dk]

@draken well, he was pro and contra

[draken@masto.nyc]

@mjj
Well played. Well played, indeed.

It seems Beltway insiders aligned with evil live to be very old.

@draken I was waiting for a flight a few years ago and Ollie happened to be on the same flight... listened to him go on and on with an ad hoc bunch of admirers... What a self-congratulating blow hard!

[apophis@yourwalls.today]

@draken reading this post without any context seeing it randomly on the federated timeline i thought this was some conspiracy shit until i saw one of the replies connecting the sales to the manufactured War On Drugs and then i looked at the pictures again and recognized the name
