Fuck you, John Bolton. Your book PROVES you're an asshole.

[Stinky The Clown]

You knew all this shit? You heard all this shit? You are a first hand witness to all this shit?

And you sat on your greedy fucking hands when what you could have said would have had impact on the impeachment of this shitbird squatter?

Fuck you, John Bolton.

Asshole.

[tblue37]

1. Heck--he and the others (Mattis, Kelley, Tillerson, etc.) should have been screaming bloody murder

at the time these things were happening, not helping to keep a lid on it for any reason.

[LuckyLib]

2. But revenue from the book sale is so tantalizing!

[Skittles]

3. well, it's not like we did not already know he was trash

the man helped Bush INC LIE THEIR WAY INTO A WAR

[chillfactor]

4. I agree

but excerpts released from his books makes the orange anus shit in his depends.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Exactly.

I don't really care right now how much of an asshole he is if his book is going to torture MF45 and work in our favor.

Anyone who pushes Trump closer to a stroke is an ally in my book, even if it is short lived. We can always go back to hating him once the drama is over.

I never want to trip up anyone while they are in the process of bringing Trump down, regardless of their past transgressions. Sorry, I guess I am just kind of pragmatic when it comes to these things.

[Raine]

5. TOTAL asshole

the sight of him makes me have to puke.

[nakocal]

6. Yes Bolton is an ass hole

But nothing he would have said would have changed a single republican vote in the senate.

[Upthevibe]

7. I ABSOLUTELY agree with you 100%...

He a piece of sh**....

[Cha]

8. Adam Schiff on John Bolton.. sounds perfectly described..

9. +1, and fuck buying his book

[William Seger]

12. I'm actually hoping Trump's suit wins

... so Bolton doesn't get rich from it, while the contents become public knowledge anyway.

[uponit7771]

14. +1

[Raine]

15. I could definitely go along on that

it would so serve him right, hahaha!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. It's been leaked as a PDF.

I have no qualms about downloading it -- he had a duty to provide that information to the public in a timely manner.

[uponit7771]

30. nice !!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. D'oh! Forgot to provide the link ...

11. Michael Steele was in accord. Hell if he's going to spend $29.95 on this book when Bolton should've

...spoken up during the Impeachment hearings.

I think we all see Bolton for the self-serving jerk that he is.

[Cha]

13. What's gotten into Michael Steele

.. Never trumphuck?

Aloha, hekate~ Yeah, Bolton is a greedy self-serving traitor enabler put on display for all the world to see.

[Sherman A1]

16. You are being charitable

He would have to improve by several magnitudes to just be an asshole.

[zentrum]

17. Coward. Hiding under his

....absurd mustache which screams out "character disorder".

[caraher]

18. I've been saying...

if ever a book deserved the title "Steal This Book" it's this one. He chose to monetize what he knew rather than act for the good of the country, and I have no problem with denying him any profit from writing it

[lame54]

19. Do you think...

It would have made a difference then
Or is it better suited now?

[samsingh]

20. agreed with you but

what would have been different if Bolton came out with this during impeachment. Do you think the senate would have removed trump?

the focus should be on the content of the book to defeat trump in the election. So few of trump's people have come forward to reveal the truth in any form.

i have always disliked bolton, but i appreciate the information and that it came out before the election.

[Andy823]

21. Exactly!

No mater what came out during the impeachment, the republican Senate still would have voted the same. They are not going to cross trump and have all there dirty laundry exposed to the nation.

[Paladin]

22. Once a RW asshole, ALWAYS a RW asshole. (nt)

[NNadir]

23. Given his history, one would not expect any kind of integrity from this guy.

He likes his fascism and racism his way, not Trump's.

Different brands, same result.

[certainot]

24. it was a real struggle for me during it all to find any hope that that asshole

would get anywhere close to being patriotic

it might actually be a good thing if the trumps managed to stop the book now that so many people and orgs have copies - he won't sell any but everyone will know to good parts

[The Wizard]

25. The Senate wouldn't vote to convict if there was a video

of Trumplw4skin jerking off in a school yard while handing out candy. This may work out better as it's closer to the election and Trump is doing the Prevaricating Mambo to stop the release,thus bringing more attention to a book filled with "classified lies."

[blakstoneranger]

26. IF YOU WERE IN BOLTON'S SHOES...

What would you have done? Looking at the whole picture and weighing the odds, what choice would you or any other red-blooded american make? Let's not forget, Bolton is a conservative republican, he's not a democrat. Do you really think his testimony would have resulted in the POTUS removal from office? In retrospect, they already had enough info to impeach trump and the public, at least his base still supports him. Did you expect Bolton's testimony to change public opinion about trump? Remember the saying "Trump could shoot a man in the middle of NY's 5th Ave and they would still vote for him." Bolton had no job and a $2 million book deal. The man, being the conservative republican american that he is made a choice, not a popular one, but a choice none-the-less.

I'll ask again, faced with the same options, if you were a republican conservative, what would you have done if you were in Bolton's shoes?

The downside to all of this is by bolton not testifying but choosing to release a book, may give trump ammo to say the book is full of lies (lies that he couldn't tell under oath, which, trump will say, is why he didn't testify). But if there are witnesses that can verify bolton's statements then.....

[Roy Rolling]

27. Finally!

A book review from my exact perspective.

[cwydro]

29. Thank you.

I wouldn't read his book even if it were free.

Irks me that the tangeranus has given him so much free publicity which will help line the traitor's pockets.

[Snarkoleptic]

32. LOL, someone has made his book available for free online!

33. I'm still reading the pdf...

....but from what I've read.

1. He has no sense of compromise. He thinks its weakness. He talks about how he wanted to Sec. of State and change the culture of negotiation to dictation. Give the allies, foe's, etc. a take it or leave it approach. That isn't diplomacy.

2. On Iran, the only deal I think he would be OK with is complete removal of the current regime, army, etc. and basically turn it back into a puppet state for the USA. Gee....that worked out so well the first time.....dumb ass.

3. North Korea, I don't no if NK was legitimately interested in a deal, but I get the impression he was sabotaging no matter what.

4. Mattis sand bagged them on Syria during the strikes (and for good reason), if they killed Russians or Iranians, shit was going to get real bad.

5. Essentially calls Obama weak and having have to fix is mess. Even knocks George W. Bush a little as well. And under George H.W. Bush was always a bit too aggressive to the point Baker had to tell him to back off.

6. Cites things that happened 20, 30, 40+ years ago as a reason for his policies.

7. Finally, I get the view that he's pissed at Trump for one reason only, he thought he would get free reign and his decades of loyal service would get him most of what he wanted, war with Iran, North Korea, etc.

He's an asshole, but a dangerous asshole. Thankfully this is probably his last stint in shaping policy, the State Department, etc.
