Bolton is still an asshole in my opinion!

He is like all the others who thought Trump was the greatest! It’s pathetic that a book can make a lot of sense when we already knew that the orange stuffed baby was a moron! I just wonder if Trump and Bolton aren’t working together to make Trump cry a little louder just to get in the news cycle everyday!

Don't let the fact that he's a greedy prick who cared more about book sales than alerting the country to Trump's horrendous behavior obscure the facts he described in the book. They are important and appalling.

It's so ludicrous to try to portray Bolton as some kind of patriot.

A patriot would have stood up when they heard Trump tilting foreign policy to his own electoral benefit.

Bolton did not do that.

A patriot would have stood up and testified when the U.S. House of Representatives was hearing evidence in the impeachment process.

Bolton did not do that.

Instead, Bolton tried to hold onto his "ace-in-the-hole" in order to hype the sales of his book detailing the criminality of the man that Bolton served for 17 months. He put his own financial gain ahead of the nation he had sworn to serve.

Bolton is no patriot.

And I'm supposed to respect him because he's telling the truth about Trump? I've known the truth about Trump since the 1980s. Glad to see you've caught up with the rest of us, Bolton.

Too little and way too late, Walrus Boy.

He's widely regarded as an asshole, but a truthful asshole.

His book is a self-serving way of getting even with trump, while padding his coffers...

despised universally after this cycle. Let it be the last cycle, washed into the sewer from "whence" he originally emerged.

I guess I never had any use for PNAC stupids.

He is finally attempting to perform an asshole's primary function; the expulsion of an orange POS.
