Targeting Trump is No.1 priority for the ‘Resistance’ – even if it means rehabilitating John Bolton
RT ^ | September 12, 2019 | Danielle Ryan

John Bolton’s departure from the White House was inevitable – as was his instant rehabilitation by the woke Resistance – but as the reasons for his ouster emerge, the bizarre embrace of this warmonger has only gotten worse.

First came the efforts to cast Bolton as some kind of “important check” on Donald Trump’s impulses. God forbid, after all, he might opt for diplomacy over sheer brute force.

Then Trump spoke and confirmed all their worst fears. Bolton’s “tough guy” rhetoric was indeed hampering diplomatic efforts with North Korea, particularly as he suggested the US follow the “Libya model” in dealing with Pyongyang.

The Libya model, lest we forget, ended with Muammar Gaddafi being sodomized with a bayonet by US-backed "rebels" before the country descended into total chaos; the once-rich state becoming ripe for Islamic State (IS,formerly ISIS) plunder and a hub for the slave trade. It’s no wonder, then, Trump said that Kim Jong-un wanted “nothing to do with” Bolton.

“How dare he side with Kim,” the ‘Resistance’ reflexively gasped in collective horror.

Even the ‘Squad’ joined in. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s contribution to the debate was a tweet appearing to side with the trigger happy Bolton. Naturally, she was quickly roasted in the replies and clarified in a subsequent tweet that it was of course “good” that the superhawk was out.

This is going to be entertaining.
They used to hate Bolton more than they hate Trump.

No, that was NOT the ‘Libyan model’ Bolton referred to!

They are just a bunch of idiots, regardless of what they call themselves.

Resist what, exactly? The results of the 2016 election? What are they “resisting”?
These children think that they are fighting some sort of patriotic war against an invasion force? Is that why they wish to silence and disarm us? So they can “resist” me in the back of the head?

They smeared him for years, liking him to a war criminal. What a dilemma for them!

The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

Apparently John Bolton, who I’ve always liked, was in favor of the Iraq invasion (?!), Bush’s disastrous move that let bin Laden escape while Bush wanted personal revenge against Sadaam. I’ve grown to really dislike all the Bushes.

Bolton’s not fully on board with the tough guy balanced with discretion especially when dealing with our enemies. So I wish him well.

PRESIDENT TRUMP LISTENS TO OPINIONS FROM EVERYONE BUT MAKES HIS OWN DECISIONS.

Bolton’s tendency to over-the-top aggression against our enemies looks like it might have helped screw up possible negotiations with some of these Arab Organizations/countries. Intelligence and negotiations with our enemies must be done carefully and with the RIGHT goal in mind - both Reagan and Trump knew/know that.

This is why the Left wanted us to attack NK, Iran and step up Afghanistan.
Voters would turn their backs on Trump.
The Bush Family would have fell for the trap.

Trump is too in touch with American Voters to fall for it.

Well sure, because Bolton doesn’t represent the biggest threat to their lifestyle, power, money, and influence they could imagine...

Lol! I too thought it was very funny to see John Bolton turn into the hero of the left!

Great quote. First heard it from David Horowitz.

"Resist what, exactly?"

Although desperate Democrats are probably publicly resisting “mean” PDJT as a political correct stunt to try to impress low-information voters, lawless Democrats broke laws when they unsuccessfully tried to prevent Trump from being elected president imo. So by resisting PDJT, Democrats are projecting themselves resisting being put in prison for their crimes imo.

Something like that.

I believe your definition of enemies is too broad.

I didn’t know I defined “enemies”.

What is my definition of “enemies” and what is your definition of “enemies”?

My definition of enemies are people engaged in direct hostile actions primarily of military nature against your nation. That’s not Bolton’s definition. His is way broader.

Horowitz was quoting some fellow-traveler SDS member from the 60s. It is an excellent quote and explains why the left NEVER prescribes real solutions to anything except to BAN things. All they know is how to tear things down, never to build things up.
Red diaper baby David Horowitz is an expert on the mentality of the Radical Left. In his pamplet Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution, (which I highly recommend, by the way) David makes the following point:
An SDS radical once wrote, “the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause-whether inner city blacks or women–is never the real cause, but only an occasion to advance the real cause, which is the accumulation of power to make the revolution.
