Jake Tapper: "One doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup."

John Bolton: "I disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coup d’etat, not here, but other places, it takes a lot of work."

You don't think news is enough to draw.listeners do you?

2. Really. Bolton is the walking definition of the word "ass."

3. I don't know but as soon as Bolton said that I changed the channel to MSNBC!

12. No wonder thier ratings are in the cellar. Trying to be Faux lite just don't work. n/t

4. Should have included Kissinger to talk about Chile.

I'm being sarcastic, of course.

5. Just DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!

WHY do they keep giving these treasonous fucks MORE AIR TIME - MORE EXPOSURE - MORE MONEY - when they've already shown that they'll SAY and DO anything for more money!?!

'Yosemite Sam' Bolton HAD his chance to step up and 'do the right thing' before the impeachment hearings - but NO, he waited until his book came out and THEN gave up some shit about IQ45 and his mis-administration.

Go sit in a corner and play with yourself, Bolton - WE DO NOT NEED YOU!!!!

6. The sad truth is that you can't continue fomenting coups overseas and not

expect the people you’ve trained not to attempt same at home.
You either believe in democracy or you don’t.

8. THIS RIGHT HERE.

7. Jake? A suggestion?

Try not to provide a platform for war criminals if you can help it. Especially when they confess to their crimes on your show. It makes you look like a prize chump and a total ignoramus.

9. Yes, that was nuts!

And then he was blabbering on about the fact that Trump couldn’t be blamed for any of it because he wasn’t savvy enough to put a a coup together, he only did things spur the moment yada yada yada. I had to switch him off.

10. CNN is gone over to the dark side. We just have to pick and choose.

PBS News Hour maybe?

11. this is what happens when we are told to "look forward"

and warmongering bastards are never held accountable
