What a fine, upstanding, stalwart, principled, chickehsh*t. . . . Please come CAPTION John Bolton!!!



John (harder than tempered steel) Bolton is saying: "The truth is, I'd love to testify before Congress and what I have to say would greatly benefit the nation, perhaps even save it, . . . but I'm not like those limp-wristed bureaucrats and officials who testified despite the President's injunction. . . . What cowards!!!"

I would imagine Mr. Bolton would have his ass kicked by Mr. Taylor. As Mr. Bolton was enduring eating ramen noodles at Yale. Bill Taylor was in the jungles of Vietnam. That is the same life experience.

we try to channel our subjcts' stupidity, avarice, cupidity, or as here, cowardice.


I'm trolling this spud (who supported hard-line aggression around the world) for his weakness. The first time he was tested (standing up to Trump) he wilts like a cheap bouquet in a landfill.

and "save the country" already. After all he's the one who had issues with Ghouliani/trump drug deal as he called it, and left the administration. Now he's calling the patriots who testiied limp-wristed bureaucrats.

What bullshit. A presidential injunction was no obstacle to those who testified and it isn't to Bolton. What is is his book deal and the $2M he'll get if he saves what he knows for his book.

So many of these assholes that seem so pious, or principled, understanding (Cheney, Barr) are two-dimensional and fold along the creases.
