Bolton v the Con

[malaise]

Get your snacks - on Wallace - thousands of copies of his book are in warehouse across the US..


I think this book just finish off the Con.
The book must be leaking all over by now will lead to a major decision for the Supremes - the Con is about to face another fuck up by preventing this book's release.

One more nail in the coffin coming up.

1. Believe it when I see

And probably not even then.

[Paladin]

2. Same here.

I'm prepared for Bolton to lay a Mueller-style disappointment on us. Bolton's never come close to making me happy in all these years; I don't expect him to do any different, now.

[malaise]

3. The institutions are beginning to stand up to him

It's all down hill for him from here

[Sherman A1]

4. Time will tell

But, I remain both skeptical and pessimistic.

[Nevilledog]

5. Maybe we need a new word - skeptimistic

[Marie Marie]

6. I love it -perfect.

8. It has been noted elsewhere that Bolton aspires to GOP higher office.

I'm not sure how that works but he clearly has a few fish to fry in the book. My guess is that it will turn out to be rather less in the end than we have hoped.

Bolton is delusional about world politics according to a number of those whose jobs were the handing the nitty-gritty of diplomatic service. He has been effective at pushing Neo-Con goals but as a diplomat, he was combative, abrupt, and uncompromising.

10. Not a Bolton fan - don't trust him

but my enemy's enemy and all that

[gratuitous]

11. If there's a fight, I'm rooting for disabling injuries on both sides

However, it will badly discombobulate conservatives to see two of their own going at it. If they want to call Bolton fake news, the question inevitably ensues, "Then why did Trump hire such a phony? Isn't he supposed to be smarter than that?"

[malaise]

12. I like the timing of the fight

Anything that hits the Con is good news

13. I'm waiting for the DU

version, Cliffs Notes. My most trusted site.

14. Think this was Bolton's plan from the get go.

He had to eventually find out Trump's shenanigans in Ukraine would lead to impeachment. And knew full well the Senate would vote not to convict. But submitted his manuscript to the White House just so they could stop it...and he knew they would.

Add to that, we know Trump ruthlessly mocked Bolton prior to hiring him and when he was working for him.

He waited for the opportune moment. Couldn't get his old employer fired during impeachment, but hey, lets throw some gasoline on the fire during the election.

15. GOP divisions suggest a night of long knives looms
