The deputy national security adviser for strategy was a confidante of ex-National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and oversaw the president’s first National Security Strategy document.

Part of me wonders how these National Security documents will read when they are publicly released in the future. Another part will just be happy those days are over.

More departures are expected in the coming weeks as Bolton works to build his team.

I know we were surprised people wanted to serve the President Toddler Snowflake in Chief when he came into office, but who in their right mind would ever want to work with the famously violent and abusive Walrus Bolton? Has anyone been announced yet?

The Trump administration continues to dig its own grave, hopefully not ours.

To all the impending fired and resigned, may this somehow help:

“My, people come and go so quickly here!”

Damn, I think Shadlow and Bossert were two people Steve Clemons mentioned in your podcast Josh. They both sounded like disciplined career folks dedicated to serious work, even though Bossert may disagree with a less Jacksonian foreign policy view.

This is another bad day for the American people and its government.

Fret not, the flag is still there. The Republic stands.

The departures are spurred by a difference in philosophy, which, in Bolton’s case, is “what would Atilla do?”

We should be so lucky, I think

"More departures are expected in the coming weeks as Bolton works to build his team.’

More departures are expected in the coming weeks as Bolton works to dismantle and destroy any remaining semblance of sanity at the NSC.

Fixed.

Instead of resigning I’d like to see people go out on strike en masse.

Like the whole State Department and Intelligence Services and Interior Department and EPA and…

Ahh shoot, who am I kidding.

But it would be nice to see masses of Government workers, Teachers, High School and College Students, Women, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ, Native American Nations, Environmentalists, Old White Guys like me, just filling the streets and DEMANDING that Trump and his whole mal administration, McConnell and Ryan and all their tea party NRA asswipes leave our Capital and our Buildings and our Offices like RFN.

I’d be there!

His team. Not a team for America. HIS team. He wants people who will not question his evil motives in the name of the United States, and everything that it once stood for. Bolton is on a mission, and he wants his team in place so that there remains no opposition to his plans.
