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.

Great article. Right on. and Bolton is a foreign policy disaster. Horrible “one world” bastard not worth a crap. I assure you he will attack Syria ( trump has no clue on foreign policy) who has done nothing to the USA Ever!! This will engage Russia ( 165million people with NUKES!!) and Iran (93 million) and we will respond with faggots and women in our total annihilation.
Exactly.
“In the case of John Bolton, I first met the new National Security Advisor a decade and a half or so back, in a roomful of European prime ministers and foreign ministers. He delivered a line that stunned the joint:
International law does not trump the US Constitution.
I was standing next to the Finnish Prime Minister, Paavo Lipponen, who had a genuinely puzzled looked on his face and eventually inquired of me: “He is making a joke, no?”
LOL. I love this guy.
who Are you calling faggot? What turd did crawl out from?
The hiring of Ambassador John Bolton is connected to the increase in defense spending. He will be an asset to the upcoming efforts to de-nuclearize Iran and North Korea. Also, our dealings with China and Russia will be important. A strong military footprint will be necessary for the military juggling act ahead.
So, if Trump would have vetoed the budget bill, he would have risked having the Democrats back down from the military increases if other issues were pressed. Have a few things changed in the months ahead: the line item veto, the filibuster, and the wall funding. Let DACA hang from the Democrats’ neck like an albatross. A war is not won in one day.
This Mark Steyn guy sounds like an idiot, Jim.
If we attack Syria from behind, do you think Greece would help?
Read the whole thing. It is vintage Steyn. To the max!
Bolton’s great. Faced with a veto override, Trump took the lesser to two evils. The GOP can rot in hell.
I’m not sure how much sarcasm is involved in this thread?
You understand that Steyn is being facetious in this article and that he totally supports Bolton irl? Right?
If you are looking for more/endless war, Bolton’s appointment should be music to your ears. Last night was a big win for the Empire. For the Republic... not so much.
There is a great deal of tomfoolery going on here today.
So, neocon chicken hawk Bolton, it is!
Bolton is a serial failure
wrong on everything since 1992
Maybe you should join the army.
No right minded male would fight and die for a government by edict where no one has read the 2000 bill and the president is a pathological liar.
So you believe international law trumps US law?
So you believe Trump is so weak that a cabinet member will lead us into war?
Apparently you can’t count. The override would have totally failed. It was just a pussie whipped cave. He is totally finished.
“no one has read the 2000 bill and the president is a pathological liar.”
Do you mean Obama and the Obamacare bill? No one read that either——and O was a liar.
