It's the landing. We just can't be sure exactly when we are going to land.

Bolton is a hard core hawk and extreme right wing. He is more conservative than any of the average GOP staff and reps. Half of Fux Ruse has been hired by the W House. Is Hannity going to be his next new hire?

happens. There is no magical rule that says a democracy must last. Trump, will turn the US into the pariah of earth with citizens living in a dystopian society. Also, expect the strong rise of white supremacists. I think many Americans are still naive as to what is happening and what the future might hold. If young and I could, I would get the hell out of here.

Bolton is the biggest racist, warmonger, gun profiteer of all white wingers. I hope this creates backlash.

Bolton is evil but he's also intelligent, and he likes to be in charge. Trump doesn't like people who are smarter than he is (which is almost everybody) and he really doesn't like people who try to tell him what to do. Bolton will try to run the foreign policy show and Trump won't go for that. I'm sure they'll clash before long but I just hope Bolton is gone before he starts WWIII.

this is not going to be good, Bolton wanted to gut the UN. We need to mobilize with massive strikes, Move On.org has a plan, if god forbid they try to neuter us.

Bolton yuk. This is not good at all.

I thought Trump said he was against the Iraq war. Or maybe it depended on what day you asked him.

They're scraping the bottom of the barrel with John Bolton, but I won't be surprised if he too is gone by this time next year.
