John Bolton

[madaboutharry]

The moon must be blue. Or something like that. Here we are when it appears that John Bolton, war hawk and right wing nut job, walked away and is going to be one of the good guys in this scandal.

Think how much we still don’t know!

1. It's far too early to be calling any of these vipers "heroes."

I'm talking about Trump's people, not the whistle blowers and others who are trying to expose Trump's crimes.

2. or maybe he is just pissed at Trump

Bolton is a piece of shit

[dchill]

7. That's how I remember him.

[Thekaspervote]

8. Maybe, but for now enemy of my enemy my friend

[Piasladic]

9. I guess you are right about his thinking

but to me they are all enemies, and I hope they ALL go down.

[stopdiggin]

12. he is my current ally ..

but you're right about we'll take any help .. from any quarter. We can thin out the crowd after we've gotten some margin of control.

(the man is a terrifying extremist .. and one has to hope has seen the last of any influence or sway over policy in ANY capacity. Never, never should have been anywhere near the reins of power.)

[Skittles]

14. Bolton can never be called a friend

maybe a "useful asshole"

3. FULL Harvest Moon!

LOTS we don't know, but we knew before today Bolton has signed a book agreement, was likely to write a tell-all about trump, and he's quoted today re: ghoul + mulvaney.

13. Coincidentally, the October 13 full moon was the "Hunter's Moon."

Of course, the September 13 full moon was the "Harvest Moon" since it was the full moon closest to the fall equinox. However, I can see that there may be a full harvest of political justice coming soon.

4. Was he the whistle blower?

Would be insane if he came out publicly and said so. Would blow this thing sky high.

[elleng]

5. Not CIA, is/was he?

6. Silly Moi,

All along I thought Pompeo was the lesser of the two evils.

[NBachers]

10. Hero snake bites villain snake.

[Recursion]

11. I said right when it broke: no coincidence it was just after he fired Bolton

Though in this case the motivation is pretty clear: Bolton is a Russia hawk as well as an Iran hawk.
