F*cking John Bolton on Nicole Wallace's show.

It's all the Democrats' fault. They screwed up the impeachment process and made the Republicans do what they did. Wallace is doing a pretty good job trying to skewer him with questions about why he didn't do more to stop Trump, but he's dodging the questions and blaming everybody else. Bite me, Bolton.

after his bloated, self-serving book came out. The only things that were new in it were some specific incidents and verification of the details of the Ukraine matter, but all it did was confirm these two things: 1. Trump is a venal, corrupt, ignorant asshole who cares only about himself; and 2. Bolton is an arrogant douche who thinks he's smarter than everybody else and wanted to be sure everybody knew it.

We already have one of those sitting in the White House making a complete mess. That's more than enough.

That's all he is doing. The networks, including MSNBC, are giving him free advertising time.

"I joined a gang of bank robbers. These incompetents, tripped on their shoelaces, got lost, ran out of gas, forgot the masks and passed a note to a teller that read 'I have a gub.' Worst part? They wouldn't let me blow things up! I quit. Here's a book about my moral superiority."

If the impeachment basis had been broader, he would be criticizing it for being too broad. He never would have helped.

Which Republicans, exactly, would have cooperated with Dems in an impeachment?

He also said he's known Bill Barr for thirty years and respects him.

and in the very next breath said the GOP in the Senate had embraced the White House line. (witch hunt, fraud, fake, etc..)

He said this like he couldn't even hear what he was saying.

He disparages the impeachment process as nothing more than political points for the Democratic party but acts as if the GOP showing themselves to be in cohoots with the White House, thereby proving they would never address the crimes and abuses of the Trump presidency with any amount of integrity, was no big deal.

Bolton has always been a right-wing POS.

He's always had a hard-on for blowing up Iran, and it seems like his biggest disappointment over his time with Trump is that he wasn't able to do it.

The Democrats put their best foot forward, having to choose, undoubtedly, from many feet.

The Republicans had a choice. Either consider the evidence and render a verdict, or stonewall, obfuscate and deflect. They chose the latter.

Bolton probably alienated some old friends by publishing this book. His attempt to deflect blame to Democrats is laughable in its transparency and echoes with hollowness.

and weasels his away around questions, by throwing out bits of typical right-wing-mantra crap...thinking he's so effing smart. I want to know what he thinks he's going to get out of this. He's obviously dancing as fast as he can, to praise the owner society of the GOP, while dissing Trump.
