Picture the scene...Rachel shows up for work and her handler informs her that she is now going to ally with John "We know where your kids live" Bolton, in the Venezuelan coup, against Trump and his statement that the US would not use the military to overthrow the elected government of Venezuela.
"WHAT!" screams Rachel. "You want me to ally myself with an insane evil war criminal?! That is going too far. I don't care how much you pay me."
"Ah, but you do care, Rachel. You care very much about your salary" explained her handler. "That is why you are going to do your job, which, let me remind you is to scream about Russia, blame Putin for all of America's problems, and to 'name and shame and threaten and counter Russian government involvement in Venezuela while sabre-rattling about how everyone better get out of the way because the US is really mad about it'. And you had better do your job, or else.
If it helps, just try to think of John Bolton as a human being. If you think of him as a human being, and know that his job, like yours, is to name and shame and threaten Russia, then you can feel compassion for him. He wants a war, and Trump backed down, and that made him feel really bad. So your job, besides the usual attacks on Trump and Russia, is to make other people also feel bad that poor John Bolton isn't going to get his war in Venezuela."
I think that this is the only explanation for Rachel Maddow's bizarre rambling on her show last week, where she tried to get people to think of John "All international laws are invalid" Bolton as a human being deserving of respect and sympathy. She failed, but the attempt was a disturbing insight into the pathology of those who own this country and are pushing for full spectrum dominance of the world.
