He was actually more of a "no" man. And to Bolton's ideas, Trump was a "no" man to him. If I recall correctly, Bolton was pushing for Trump to bomb Iran and Trump (rightly) refused. They did not particularly care for each other.
Bolton is a war mongering whacko but he is correct here. That meeting was a disgrace.
I wasn't debating if he was right. I agree, Rubio should resign. I would bet no one gets a job for trump without telling him they will do exactly what he wants without question. I am pretty sure they are just being more mask off about it for this administration.
That is true now. That was far less true in the early Trump admin (at least compared to now).
I love when people make counter arguments, but don't provide any proof. "Just trust me, bro"
Ok
If there's a person who knows from experience, who should also know that they'll ignore him.
He's trying to clean his reputation.
No, Bolton doesn't see anything wrong with being a viscous warmongering bastard. He wouldn't consider his reputation as needing cleaned. He'd argue for the US to put boots on the ground in Ukraine and annex it with indirect rule. His type is the ones that Russia uses as boogymen to justify their imperialism as "fear of NATO."
You probably meant to type vicious, but viscous is also perfect. He's both ruthless and slimy.
...he can know other people have a problem with being a warmongering bastard.
I call on Marco Rubio to drink a gallon of bleach.
As long as elon and trump pledge to chug first.
I'd rather set the three of them up as a human centipede, then have the first drink bleach.
Wouldn't work out. Bleach isn't toxic, it's just basic depending on how concentrated it is and a bleaching agent of course.
He'd do it if Trump said to.
BLEACH FOR SOME. MINIATURE AMERICAN FLAGS FOR OTHERS.
We could probably get Hegseth to do it if we put it though a beer bong

It’s weird to see John Bolton saying something reasonable.
It makes sense though. Bolton is interested in further enriching US arms manufacturers by prolonging the proxy war. If Trump formally allies with Putin, the fighting will end relatively quickly and thus stops the gravy train.
Sure, but John Bolton can fuck right off as well.
Go write another article about how we should nuke Iran, dipshit.
So glad that fuck doesn’t have any influence anymore.
But no call for Little t and JD to resign? Coward.
You would think after his last time in the news cycle I would stop reading his name as Michael Bolton... Apparently not...
"Why should I change my name? He's the one that sucks."
~Michael Bolton, probably

No body anywhere cares what John Bolton thinks in 2025.
Bolton told MSNBC that officials should resign when leaders pivot "from understanding prior American allies to backing the current America~~'s~~n administration's ~~adversaries~~ allies."
Fixed it?
