Bolton is a son of a bitch but not a stupid son of a bitch. Unlike those infesting the White House now.
John Bolton on BBC just now: "I think we are in danger not just of losing the NATO alliance [...] but practically every alliance around the world as our friends and allies look at this performance and wonder if there's anybody in this administration who understands what's at stake here."

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

“You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump said while wagging a finger at Zelensky.
Trump was dead wrong. Zelenskyy holds all the cards: honor, honesty, discipline, integrity. It’s just that Trump doesn’t recognize that suit.

Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.

Democrats, where are your voices? My god, stand up! Fight! Resist! Are you that afraid? Stop this, NOW. Use your brains and power to stop Musk, stop the abuse of our constitution, stop the abuse of citizens, stop this agenda. Are your "jobs" worth sacrificing democracy? Where is your outrage?
