1. "Bolton Says Trump Impeachment Inquiry Missed Other Troubling Actions"

Yeah, Bolton, maybe YOU SHOULD HAVE TESTIFIED!

[Budi]

2. No shit. Where was he. Where was his big tough spine when we needed him to stand for America.

Enjoy your profits you sellout. 😬

8. I'm troubled. Yosemite Sham could have told us this when it mattered.

No wait. I'm fucking furious.

[wishstar]

14. He was the missing first hand witness with direct knowledge of abuse of power and corruption

so that's some staggering disingenuousness for Bolton to criticize the Dems for not going further when they needed his first hand account to go further. Can't convince me that making money on his book deal was not more important to him.

3. Be still my heart

It is a withering portrait of a president ignorant of even basic facts about the world, susceptible to transparent flattery by authoritarian leaders manipulating him and prone to false statements, foul-mouthed eruptions and snap decisions that aides try to manage or reverse.

Mr. Trump did not seem to know, for example, that Britain is a nuclear power and asked if Finland is part of Russia, Mr. Bolton writes. He came closer to withdrawing the United States from NATO than previously known. Even top advisers who position themselves as unswervingly loyal mock him behind his back. During Mr. Trump’s 2018 meeting with North Korea’s leader, according to the book, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slipped Mr. Bolton a note disparaging the president, saying, “He is so full of shit.”

9. If Poopeo says you're full of shit,

you definitely have a fecal fullness issue.

13. Nicolle Wallace mentioned the "He's full of sh!t" on her show earlier

i didn't think she would actually say that word on air Good discussion w/ Neal Katyal and others on re: Bolton's book and Trump's criminal activities he mentioned right now.

4. Nicole Wallace is bound to discuss these revelations on Deadline White House

Trump is going to absolutely go apeshit over this book, whether it's released or not because Bolton is doing interviews anyway, and leaking the book to reporters.

[onetexan]

15. The Idiot will be enraged Bolton is actually going to get alot more publicity & profit from his book

[Jarqui]

5. If the media has advance copies of the book,

how can Trump stop it from coming out?

[samsingh]

6. Good point. It's out and these excerpts will create dialogue

[onetexan]

7. Therein lies the stupidity. Genie's already out of the bottle

[lagomorph777]

10. I wonder how many more books are about to hit the fan?

Yosemite Sham dissects the Turd administration from the inside.
Mary Trump dissects the Turd family from the inside.
Maybe some doc will dissect his adderall-addled mind from the inside?

[onetexan]

12. adderall?? oooooooh that would be salacious

[wiggs]

11. When will the public and media just start every conversation with the assumption that

EVERY action, EVERY diplomatic discussion, EVERY direction to staff has to do with grift, corruption, and his own self-interest??

At this point, don't we know who he is and that ALL of his activities are suspect? Is anyone surprised that there's more corruption involving countries other than Ukraine? Shouldn't Seth Abramson be part of daily analysis, discussing China, Ukraine, Russia, UAE, Saudis, Israel, and Turkey? And North Korea, Brazil, Philippines, ...and everyone else?

When will we stop dealing with the outrage of the moment and start talking about the forest instead of just a few trees? Come on dems and come on media!
