Nuts and Bolton
Steyn On-line ^ | March 23, 2018 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 03/23/2018 5:02:47 PM PDT by Twotone

John Bolton turned up on Fox about an hour before I did last night, and professed to be surprised by the sudden Tweeting of his appointment as US National Security Advisor. The Beltway insiders allege that it was rushed out to distract from Trump's cave-in on the 2,232-page Schumer-Pelosi Early-Christmas-For-Big-Bloated-Budget-Busting-Bureaucracy Bill that not a single person on this planet has actually read. Oh, and don't give me that "increased funding for our troops" straw-clutching: every sentient creature from the earthworm up knows that the extra dough's just going to go to diversity programs and gender reassignment surgery as opposed to anything that might increase the odds of actually winning the next 17-year war.

At this stage the Gullible Old Pussies of the Republican Party are pretty much openly advertising that giving them control of the House, the Senate and the White House is the equivalent of giving Yosemite Sam three sticks of dynamite to shove down his pants - with the additional nicety that this time round they're actively flipping the finger at their president's bedrock issue. I reiterate the point I first made on the radio a year ago: On January 20th 2017 Trump should have taken all those showboating showbiz no-shows at face value and held a businesslike inauguration at the southern border while laying the first brick. The brick remains unlaid - not because Vicente Fox refuses to "pay for Trump's f**kin' wall" but because Paul Ryan does.

You losing focus today? You mis-read the substance of my post. It was opposite what you mistook it for.

Thanks for posting. Great article. I like John Bolton, find him refreshingly unlike typical Washington. Nice to have some good news.

Great article. Right on. and Bolton is a foreign policy disaster. Horrible “one world” bastard not worth a crap.

How could anyone read the article and conclude that Bolton is a one-worlder?

How?

Bolton is a clown..

WOW..after checking out your newbie troll posting history.

All I can say ...It takes one to know one...

You sound like my brother who is a retired military left wing progressive whackadoodle who thinks Trump and basically all conservatives are neocon war mongers...

Enjoy your stay at FR, I'm sure very soon the kittens will pay you a visit soon...

Neocons want to stay in control, so they function without a moral compass.

The most important accomplishment was the tax cut, and that was done by the legislators. Trump encouraged and signed. Obama would not have done that.

Typical liberal hysterical ranting. You idiots said the same thing of Regan as he imploded the USSR. Then again, you liberals have never met a tyrant you didn’t love, including the USSR.

No I’m focused...

” Oops, wait a minute, he was not born in US. And we are not sure Obama was either,...

2 requirements......Obama, Styen, and Cruz could each have been born in the WH’s Lincoln Bedroom but their foreign parents (one or both) make them ineligible for POTUS. Look for Kamala Harris to try a run in 2020. She needs to be knocked out on ineligibly. This would go a long way in discrediting Obama for the same reason!

I can’t believe you just sat behind the computer posting anonymously after Obama (one parent Kenya citizen, other underage American) was sworn in. I would have liked see your picture protesting in front of white house.

I appreciate the link. Bolton is not a good pick. Real bad pick actually. Gird for needless war.

Thanks for the great link. You know, its funny. I would nuke the NORKS now. They directly threatened this country. We are allowing months and months for them to get ready. You talk about a hawk. They would be toast but attacking countries that don’t do a thing to us like Iraq or Syria, is not hawkish — it’s madness and it is illegal.
