Nobody leaves this administration voluntarily. Bolton forced him out. We need some reporting as to why.

He had other commitments…
There’s that bomb shelter in his back yard he’s been meaning to build…

“Michael is one of the smartest and most talented individuals I’ve ever worked with – not to mention an amazing chef. He has been more than a colleague, he is a true friend. Everyday I got to work with Michael was a good day and he will be greatly missed,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

Stop the presses! Ms. Sanders is veering perilously close to telling something bordering on the truth. Anton is a dangerous character insofar as he’s an ostensibly intelligent conservative*. Little wonder he left in the face of the coming of the Apocostache.

Oh I don’t know
If Bolton was going to be your boss and you had to stand in front of the cameras and explain his policies with a straight face…
I don’t think I could do it

He’s going to be a “lecturer” at Hillsdale College. Hillsdale is a “Christian” school, so no one is actually getting educated, so a washed up spokesman with only a master’s degree should be able to skate there.

At this moment, it is 9:10 AM, and John Bolton has been in office for 10 minutes. Are we at war with North Korea or Iran yet? Or have we nuked Syrian refugees?

Maybe he didn’t want to be on the kick-down side of the equation.

Bombs dropped on Syria last night, though who dropped them is still a question (fingers seem to mostly be pointing at Israel).

Kind of surprised not to see an article here about it this morning.

Nah. He’s going to lecture at Hillsdale–he definitely has a straight face for what Bolton and Trump are into.

I don’t want to think about what passes for education at one of these “Christian” schools.
We’re two miles from our local JC, a presumably secular school. Takes only a Masters.
A former student of my wife used to tell us how their econ instructor spent much of class time denouncing Obama during those years.

I had a coworker who told me that our Constitution was “based on the Bible”. She learned that in a Christian high school.
She also told me that the word “history” was derived from “his story,” or a narrative of past events that excluded women’s contributions. Evidently they fill the kids’ heads with all kinds of shit.

“I will be forever grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to serve my country and implement his agenda,” Anton told Politico.

Those are both mutually exclusive. The former is contrary to the latter.

This is a True Believer with thin skin. He will endorse everything Capt’n Crunch will vomit blood over and be a consummate conservative whore. He just doesn’t like getting yelled at and demeaned … poor little subhuman.

“and implement his agenda”

Yeah, it was Israel according to reports, and France may do something. Cadet Bonespurs is only starting to consider the issue now. It was the Masters yesterday, after all. Priorities!

well, we now know what she will miss most about him.
