He'll be back in full snide commentary mode soon..

Money talks.

Personal ethics? Eh, you can't put it in the bank for your off-spring.

This is scary since he is even more conservative that just about any other average GOP idiot. He doesn't even need Senate approval. Maybe others may be coming over too...which position will Hannity fill?

Bolton is the new NSA.
Donnie Two-Scoops don't like no facial hair.
Maybe Bolton will shave?

He actually makes Trump seem polite and mild mannered.

Everyone should learn about him. I would do a
Google search.

He got a divorce because he wanted to force his wife into sexual wife swapping.

He’s pretty disgusting. He was George Bush’s United Nations Ambassador and he was a true believer in destroying the UN.

Among statements he has made, are that the International Criminal Court is a security threat to the United States, that all international law is invalid, that "there is no United Nations. If the U.N. building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference", that "diplomacy is not an end in itself. It does not advance U.S. interests".

Two fairly recent op eds penned by Bolton were entitled, "To Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran" NYTimes 2015 and "The Legal Case for Striking North Korea First" WSJ 2018.

Bolton is a fucking madman who wants to see the world burn. He would politically back whoever gave him the power to consummate his vision.

There will not be room for that much ego in the White House, or even DC for that matter.

I give it a month before Bolton gets tweeter fired

Bolton won't get along with Nikki Haley or the tRump family, either. From my recollection of W's time, I think he's a control freak. A firestorm is brewing.

Just keep him away from that big red button while he's there.
