He's once again outed himself as an arrogant, pompous dick who thinks he's smarter than everybody else. Although he probably told the truth in his book and offered some details that just confirmed what we already suspected about Trump's corruption and incompetence, Bolton's book was so bloated and grotesquely self-serving that whatever truths he told are getting lost in his attitude and political partisanship. What he really dislikes about Trump is that Trump is just a narcissistic jerk instead of a fanatical right-winger who wanted to blow up Iran and North Korea.

I've certainly used that term enough, and you are right, they are a big part of the ruling class oligarchy in this country who want war at any price, as long as their killing machines are always used.

laugh at myself when that happens. The brain still works very well for my age but age is way more than a number.

choice doesn't look too good now. And the brass within the military is not likely to support paying for unwanted armaments just because the orange CinC is having a hissy fit.

I do worry about another 4 (or more) years of this orange-anus trying to dismantle the US military.
Question is: Why Would He Do That?

"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.”
