The walrus getting fired should terrify us

John Bolton has, for decades, been a Washington madman who never saw a country he didn't want to bomb out of existence. I won't enumerate his history of craziness here, but he is one of the scariest creatures in existence. Trump hired him, (knowing nothing about him), because he liked an appearance Bolton made on Fox "news."

So now that he's been kicked into Trump's graveyard of people who are useless to him, why should we be terrified? Because you just know that Trump's next choice for the position will be worse than Bolton.

How do you find someone worse than Bolton? Beats me. Caligula, Vlad the Impaler, Jack the Ripper and so many of their ilk are long gone. So whoever he finds to replace Bolton will probably be some sadistic psychotic who is beyond anything we can imagine.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

1. What I wonder is how Miller stays on

I know he's T's soul mate, but would have said the same about Bolton and Trump.

[maxsolomon]

3. Miller doesn't challenge Trump's assumptions, he plays to them

Bolton likely tried to inject some semblance of reality, or facts, into the discussion. Little things like what and why the US Policy in Afghanistan is what it is. He even likely dared to explain Obama's actions there.

Basically, he dared to challenge Trump's ignorance.

20. Miller is tRump's

second puppet master, he is running the show, all tRump is doing is signing any bills and running his mouth.

[mahina]

26. I've thought this for a while.

[RKP5637]

2. I never liked Bolton, but you make a very good point, could be someone far worse. What a F'ed

up affair all of this is. If this doesn't change in 2020 ... FFS, could be just horrible ramifications.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Somebody worse than Bolton you say? How about Tom Cotton? Cotton even back Trump

on buying Greenland.

[IADEMO2004]

11. Coldest cold-blooded snake I know of. Tom Cotton

[rurallib]

29. Tom Cotton and Stephen Miller together

talk about a marriage made in hell

[IADEMO2004]

31. Thanks. I'll never sleep again.

5. Cthulhu!

Cthulhu seems right for the job and I bet the "evil darkness" of this MisAdministration has acted like an evocation to set him stirring and ready to arise to bring ultimate destruction.

[Fozzledick]

14. More likely Nyarlathotep.

The Crawling Chaos is more Trump's style, besides which Cthulhu is too sleepy, at least until the stars are right.

6. $10 says his replacement is Eric Prince. n/t

[Cerridwen]

7. I was thinking rush limbaugh or newt gingrich but yours makes more sense. n/t

[Saviolo]

25. Oooh. Good bet.

Also maybe Tucker Carlson: https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/tucker-carlson-advising-trump-foreign-policy-heres-what-means

[UTUSN]

8. Well, nothing "improves" SHITLER's regime. Nobody gone or anybody to come.

Our being "terrified" is a given, no matter what, until he's gone.

[shanti]

9. Rand Paul next?

He stuck his head up to defend Dirty Donnie.

[jpljr77]

10. I'll take Paul's worldview vis-a-vis U.S. military action 100 times out of 100 over Bolton's.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Trump is just as big of a hawk as Bolton is

Don't let his propaganda fool you, Trump has never seen a country filled with non white people that he didn't want to nuke.

Remember that in year 1 of the Trump Presidency more civilians were killed in Iraq and Syria by US bombs than in all 8 years of the Obama Presidency.

This was about having the Taliban to Camp David on the anniversary of 9/11, nothing more. Bolton and Trump were in lock step on their desire to bomb the hell out of half the countries on earth.

[lastlib]

13. Well, at least Charles Manson is dead......

That eliminates one possibility.

[Cyrano]

15. Ex Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio comes to mind

That sadistic piece of garbage (pardoned by Trump) is running to get his old job back. So he's available for Trump to tap as his next national security adviser/madman.

Arpaio's record of dealing with Mexican immigrants is something horrible enough to make Trump smile, and perhaps even giggle in joy. So my guess is that Arpaio is in the running for the job.

[bdamomma]

19. if he was still alive

they could compare "cult" visions.

[bluecollar2]

16. Prick Cheney isn't doing anything

These days

And he's just the psychopathic asshole that could find a way to profit and let the mango Mussolini take the fall...

Wonder if he wants the job?

[Cyrano]

17. Nah. He's looking for someone else to shoot in the face while hunting

[bluecollar2]

18. Wouldnt hurt my feelings at all

If he went hunting at mar-a-shithole...

[lagomorph777]

21. Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a corn flake
Waiting for Iran to bomb
Red MAGA T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
You let your facial hair grow long

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

[panader0]

22. "Be afraid. Be very afraid."

No thanks. I see too many posts on DU about how everyone should be
afraid, how Trump is an evil genius, and how the USA is doomed and
democracy is dead forever.
I refuse to buy into that. Of course I'm not happy with anything this
disaster of an administration has done. Many people have been and will be
harmed. But I'm not afraid. These idiots inspire disgust but not fear.
Stand and resist.
P.S.--Trump is evil, but not a genius about anything.

[Cyrano]

24. My being "very afraid" started on election night, 2016

I knew who and what Trump was/is, and I knew that a dangerous psychotic was about to become pResident.

And I'll stick with that "be afraid, be very afraid" meme until the results of election night, 2020, tell us that we're through with him.

Nonetheless, the thing that frightens me is that there are two and a half months between election night and a new president being sworn in. And the orange maniac ordering a nuclear strike during that period, to distract us, is a thought that won't go away. (Hopefully, the powers that be at the Pentagon will ignore him.)

No one on this planet is safe until this madman is dragged away from the levers of power.

27. WORD

[Leith]

23. Milo Yannapolis is looking for a job

He should make a good appearance on fux'n'fiends and catch agent orange's eye.

I don't care if I spell that goon's name right. If he's lucky, there is an off-off-Broadway version of The Hunger Games looking for a replacement for Effie Trinket.

[mahina]

28. Whoever blows smoke up his ass next on Fix 'news'

[CaptainTruth]

30. It made me breathe a sigh of relief. Bolton never gave up the PNAC agenda ...

... of "transforming the Middle East," which included overthrowing Iran. The day Trump hired Bolton I said he would try to finish what they started under GW Bush by getting us into a war with Iran, & he sure tried. He also talked Trump into the "Space Force" idea that the PNAC proposed in 2000.

Now that Bolton is gone I believe the chance of war with Iran has been reduced.

[Apollo Zeus]

32. I'm thinking the likely replacement will be Keith Kellogg

or Brian Hook
