Mick Mulvaney to John Bolton: "You’re a f------ self-righteous, self-centered son of a b----!'"

Well, I, for one, will admit being fooled.

I thought Bolton would be a good choice. Later it turned out he was just another deep state idiot...

[pepsi_junkie]

This is consistent with the way people spoke about him from his time in the State Department. Word was that nobody wanted to work with him and they all thought he was an SOB. Of course people here (me included) said 'hah, those leftists plants in the State Department don't like Bolton, boo hoo'.

It turns out, though, that they were right. He's an a-hole.

“It would be interesting to go back in time and see just which Freepers celebrated this jack-hat being selected by the President - and just who thought (knew!) it was a mistake.”

I liked Bolton. Always did, until recently.

I liked Roberts too.

I liked Bush too.

I voted for McCain once.

I voted for Romney.

I don't say these things in a boastful way. I did what I thought was the right thing to do at the time.

Looking back, it is clear the GOP has been corrupt for a long time. Perhaps five percent less corrupt than the Democrats but corrupt none the less.

Just like Marie Yovanovitch and others, Bolton believed HE should set policy not follow the policies set by Trump

Appears these traitors attended the same "finishing school" as did fauci.

A side effect of Trump is that many DC apparatchiks have been smoked out and put on display by his choosing them. Their “legend” is nullified and they leave angry and looking for a mictophone or a printing press to proclaim “’Tis nothing but a flesh wound!!!”

[daler]

I could’ve written your post word-for-word.

[mad_as_he$$]

Given the choices we had there wasn’t much in the way of other options.

Pompeo and Mulvaney 2024

[NELSON111]

Of course it has. Read my tag line. It’s been that way for a be long time. I called Bush out in 2005 on this forum and got crucified. I’ve called out Trump for proposing a budget early this year that had a $1.3 trillion budget deficit (pre-Covid) and got equally skewered. I don’t care. I stand by my principles. If we don’t have those-we are no better than liberals. But what’s funny-on this forum now -when you stand by your principles and call a spade a spade-people accuse you of being a liberal. Typical.

Hindsight is 20/20. As true today as when I first heard it 60 Years ago.

[Jane Long]

Very well stated, Secy Mulvaney!

[Kickass Conservative]

Hey, even Greg Gutfeld held Bolton is high esteem.

Bolton was the sage of Redeye way back when.

[Dutch Boy]

Sort of like Worf’s advice on Star Trek TNG. Almost a parody but in real life.

[Albion Wilde]

Whatever John Bolton once was, he has now devolved into a hateful man...

It’s amazing—he even looks like Dave Letterman these days, too.

[Albion Wilde]

AG Barr said yesterday that Bolton’s book proceeds belong to the US government, by law...

All $179 – and that’s just Schiff, Nadler, Vindman, Ciarmella and the Bolton family.

"You’re a f------ self-righteous, self-centered son of a b----!'" Well said Mick!! Adding Bolton to (this video) google says viewer discretion advised...click on "I understand and wish to proceed"

[TwoSue]

He was president of Red Eye.

Good for you. You’ve gotten some things right in the past. And you’ve also gotten some things wrong - which you don’t bring up.
