Oh no! Now I know this was a bad idea!

Nobody gives a rats ass, whether John Bolton approves or disapproves.

Everyone would be happier if he would just shut his pie hole and disappear.

Well, thank God! Now that I’ve heard from the warmongering Walrus I can rest easy tonight.

[desertsolitaire]

Im just going to appreciate the support from a source who seldom gives it.

[SaxxonWoods]

He’s so desperate to appear relevant these days.

Dear john.......🖕

"Late"? What was "late" about it? How many people have died as a result of Iranian nuclear attacks?

Moron. Irrelevant moron.

[norcal joe]

So you posted this article only to try to make President Tump look bad, since everyone hates Bolton.

Pretty pathetic.

It was a good idea; there have just been a lot of inferior presidents that preceded Donald Trump and he triggers so many who climb the ladder of wealth and power.

The following three people are contra-indicators:

John Bolton - world affairs
Jim Cramer - investing
Dick Morris - politics

That doesn’t mean they’re always wrong. It does mean they’re wrong more often than not.

I stopped reading at John Bol......

That's my issue too. The Iran of today is not the Iran of the 70's. I get that. Classy dressed women have been replaced with shlumps wearing bags over their heads. The men are best described as hateful angry abused mental midgets. And the children aren't even properly educated anymore, especially the girls. I don't want for Iran to ever have a nuclear weapon, because those nutjobs will use it without a doubt, and so I can justify having their nuclear brain trust buried under the rubble. But the moment the Boltons, McCains, Grahams, etc start cheering, I start second guessing how right the call was. Those warmongers make a great thermometer to take the temperature of the wrongness of a decision. But ... I still trust Trump and I respect the call he made, praying it was a God-inspired one.

I’m sure President Trump is thrilled that he earned Milk Mustache’s approval. 😄

This guy needs to take a dirt nap.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I can identify with that.

I’m not sure what Bolton’s game is here, but I’d guess he
has been on the outside looing in long enough to be sick
and tired of it.

[Retain Mike]

it was nice to see a country besides Israel enforce the UN treaty on nuclear weapons.

[Kevin in California]

The war monger walrus is licking his chops praying WW3 breaks out.

Maybe he actually meant late as in he and the various administrations for decades talked of not allowing Iran nukes but no one did much about it, til Trump.
