Bolton thinks he can run for President.
MSM is letting all the neocon wolves back into the hen house.

2. Last week some renowned political guru

said rump would be indicted within two weeks. Carved in stone.
So, one week has passed. I’m keeping tabs. These guys make statements and no one follows up.
(Sadly I can’t remember Mr. Guru’s name… )

5. Exactly. While he is honest about Trump, his dishonesty about EVERYTHING else

including the Iran Nuclear deal, what it did and what it laid out, as well as the aftermath of its being shelved was among the most dishonest discussions I've heard--and all because he's NEVER going to admit anything Obama (or Biden does) is correct or beneficial.

Yes, it is momentarily refreshing to hear him go after Trump, but he's one hell of a slime ball and always will be. Defending him is akin to defending Steve Bannon or Newt Gingrich.

8. Bolton's style of awful is very different from TFG's but he's still awful.

Of course he's right about TFG - a stopped clock and all that - but judging from the excerpts from his book, the main reason he doesn't like TFG is that TFG wouldn't do what Bolton told him. This is a guy who is just about as egomaniacal as his former boss but is better-disciplined and usually manages not to sound insane. He's the most neoconish of all the neocons, probably even worse than Dick Cheney.

He kept saying everything being done today, is a little too late. I say everything he's doing is a LITTLE TOO LATE. (HE was TFG'S buddy and did NOTHING to stop him)
