So these raving pieces of dung as so hell bent on revenge they willingly want to saddle America with left wing Democrats? Poor Bolton didn’t get his war and perhaps hopes Biden will try to oust Assad?

I think he was conflating “deep state interests” with “national interests”. That is where his argument breaks down.

Does Bolton really want to be reviled by conservatives and loved by liberals? All this for not getting his war?

Media running with the Russia collusion again, just inserting China into the mix. What BS. By the way, didn’t President Trump tell Gordon Sondland “no quid pro quo” with Ukraine? It’s amazing that the left-wing media, and all their looney tunes followers have been embracing the Chi-Coms, and even sticking up for them since the virus got here.

Bolton = backstabbing fabulist giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The dictionary lacks a word adequate to describe the traitorous shape-shifting egomaniac.

Always thought he looks like villain in Ruff’n Reddy cartoons.

I doubt if the spineless, integrity-free degenerate ever served in the military. What a pathetic loser.

you NEVER EVER EVER see Democrats doing this.

Well, actually, we do. Only they are registered as republican, sort of a trojan horse thing.

I am sure all those talking points are horseshit, but that one about asking the Chinese President to help him in 2020 takes the cake.

Makes me wonder on whose payroll Bolton is these days.

Bolton wants everyone to think as highly of him as he does. He loves being important and he doesn’t suffer rejection lightly. He’s the MOST dangerous kind of person to have in control of anything of importance. That’s why he seems so comfortable siding with democrats- they have the same personality traits as him.

I wonder whether Bolton (who I liked) wasn’t part of the troubles Trump had (who I liked far more).

Bolton, you screwed up, big.

Projection. That’s what the left is doing, including Bolton. Anything to bring down Trump no matter how destructive to the country.

Was Bolton even in the NSC when the Ukraine stuff went down?? Or is he relying on the disinfo put out by the Whistleblower.

What’s bad about Trump wanting to fire (and then actually firing) the ambassador to the Ukraine? She deserved to be fired!

I put a whole huge amount more stock in China as a true long-term threat to America, and everything we hold dear, than I do Russia.

A lot more.

China collusion, is America’s entire supply chain.

For real.

Yep...China’s been an instigator for many years. They’ve been egging North Korea on for years too. It pi$$es me off because the U.S. helped them during WWII, and they’ve been conniving against this country ever since. The Clintons were in the Chi-Coms back pockets, and were well-paid for their treason. The breach at Los Alamos occurred during Clinton’s second term too. They’re probably still getting paid by the Chi-Coms.

Trump’s re-election is in the national interest. The election of mind dead Joe Biden is a threat to our national interest and security. Can any thinking person think otherwise?

If that’s all true, why didn’t he say something at the time?

It should be said (I will say it) that getting Trump reelected is furthering the national interest. Essentially in the national interest. In the interest of national survival. And so on.
