Discussion: Bolton Didn't Expect Job Announcement: ‘I Think I’m Still A Fox News Contributor’

“Well, I think I still am a Fox News contributor,” he said.

You are. You and half the current administration.

FOX. The gift that keeps on giving.

“Bolton perviously served …”

Unintentional, I imagine, but still brilliant.

I’d like to be as sanguine. However, all these fools will be like the cockroaches, rats and flies. They’ll emerge and thrive upon completion of the Armageddon they so earnestly want.

I didn’t really expect an announcement this afternoon

Well, that’s exactly the kind of shrewdness and perspicacity I want in a National Security Adviser.

“Bolton perviously served as the ambassador to the United Nations under the George W. Bush administration and has a sordid history of neoconservative views.”

Now, now, Ms. Lafond. Let’s not have any editorializing from the reportorial bench. /s

Will he suffer the ritual humiliation of being forced to shave off his mustache? Yes, after the first time he pisses off Trump. Eat the salad, Rex!

Yeah, I caught that too and had exactly the same thought.

Lots of great minds here at TPM…

Certainly more likely to be listened to if he stays there.

Bolton’s agenda: Rock the Casbah

Perhaps he can do the job from Fox News. He can just have a regular 5 minute segment on Fox and Friends where he communicates pressing national security issues to the President through the television. After all, that does seem to be Trump’s current preference for obtaining briefing on important issues.

The one thing we have going for us is that Trump won’t like being seen as Bolton’s little war puppet. Porn Stache Johnny can kiss Trump’s ass until his lips are chapped, but he’d better keep a low profile.

(It’s up to Democrats to build Bolton up. I notice that FOX is trying to ignore him.)

Wanted to post an article from DailyKos because I heard someone on TV this morning (can’t remember his name) make some bogus statement about how Bolton will be a bulwark of sorts against Russia. I call bullshit on that.

Also embedded in that article is this video that Bolton gave on Russian TV for the NRA to promote guns there (which is also a sick joke). His backing from his SuperPac does indeed come from money provided by the Mercers as well, which we all know now is connected to Cambridge Analytica. Already my head hurts. Need mo’ java…
