CNN: “One doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup”
BOLTON: “I disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coups, not here but other places…”

Does that include the US, John?
BTW, and you know who you are, stop the keyword abuse. People used to get zotted for it.
Bolton is pretty good but he drifts off into the bizarre
What about SUCCESSFUL coups?
The neocon foreign policy record has been one disaster after another for the last 30 years.
We had a coup here, it was January 20, 2009 when an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia was sworn in in direct violation of the Constitution.
one of my favorite coup attempts was trying to blackmail Sukarno with a porn video. Bing Crosby was involved.
It failed.
“Some conservatives still had a positive image of John Bolton before he entered the Trump White House.”
Boy, was I on that ship. No longer...he’s the enemy.
Those coups are things never voted on. So much for spreading “democracy” and nation building. How’s that working out?
When did coup-organizing become a regular occurrence and expected function of government in Washington DC?
Was it the rise of progressives in the early 20th century? Certainly at least it when the USA was handed an empire after WWII.
He is so petty. He was a nobody when Trump appointed him, but then he joins with the liberal media in attacking him. He is interested in money.
Bolton is such an arrogant buffoon who is so full of himself.
Not very bright though.
The USA’s empire really began with the Spanish-American War, when we acquired Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines...
Not so much a coup, since the government of Columbia didn’t change, but we split Panama off in 1903. So much for the inviolability and sanctity of international borders.
“When did coup-organizing become a regular occurrence and expected function of government in Washington DC?”
When the CIA was created.
John Bolton is a revolting piece of human detritus. It is hard for me to stomach the praise people give him for being a “conservative.” He is not, if conservative means respect for the rule of law, commitment to smaller government and above all, the principle that the little man in the street has freedoms that trump the perceived need of the state to protect itself from “enemies.”
He is a ghastly man. The faster he fades away with Cheney, Wolfowitz, the staff from National Review and the whole batch of Clintonista tyrant dopplegangers, the better.
Whatever he says just sounds like “goo goo ga joob” to me.
He ought to know.
