Bolton Replaces McMaster

Last leak broke the camel's back.

Just what we need, another war mongering madman neocon giving policy advice. I wish I could say what I think should happen to the neocons, but I don't want the FBI visiting me.

I've been defending Trump on a lot of things because I think he's trying to do good for the country and generally has the right idea, but it's starting to appear that he's selling his soul to the deep state and neocons on foreign policy to save his ass politically. There's literally nothing that can be worse for America than having these psychotic lunatic neocons having influence. There is no greater evil in the US than these scumbags. They are close to being on par with the worst the world can produce.

Trump doesn't put up with sub-par for long. Gotta love it.

McMaster was fine and capable in the role. Bolton is a hardcore neocon.

I don't want continuation of the past two regimes.

Yes and no JR. Some pieces leave the game board having served the task of getting the team this far. Having quality replacements at the ready to draw from is a necessity, I think Bolton was always part of the plan.

I was number 42 in the draft lottery, passed my physical and was classified 1A in 1972. The prospect of Vietnam scared the hell out of me then, just like people such as Bolton and the neocons do now.

I can't understand how my generation can be so embarrassing after all these years.

No job is if you don't tell Trump what he wants to hear.

His lead lawyer on the Mueller investigation just quit because Trump would not listen to what the lawyer told him.

I hate wars and picked Trump because I hoped he would be an isolationist and just leave other countries alone.

With that said, Bolton deserves a shot. I like him more than McMaster.
