This is the first firing/resignation where I actually feel pretty confident that we can’t possibly get a worse replacement.
That scares the shit out of me, because he always seems to find a way.

Does this mean football and munchies with the Taliban at Camp David is back on again for this weekend?
Bah gawd that’s Elliot Abrams’ music!

I am all in favor of bringing on board someone less competent at getting us to attack Iran.

That’s the thing though - replacement might be just as belligerent or more so, but lacking even John Friggin’ Bolton’s experience. Like a John Bolton type with the maturity/knowledge of a 4Chan user.
First ever National Security Advisors, Diamond and Silk?

Haha so Bolton offered to resign, Trump says “Let’s talk about this tomorrow,” then fires him before he can resign.
Trump doing stuff like this has to really irritate the GOP. Not because Bolton is an evil piece of shit, but because of the shallow casualness he’s being tossed in the garbage. And the Deplorables will chalk it up as some part of the master plan to drain the swamp.
So did Trump get rid of Bolton b/c Bolton was too crazy for even Trump’s standards or because even Bolton wouldn’t stoop to Trump’s level?
Why not both?

Next NSA advisor will probably call for war with Puerto Rico and California.

NY Times will run a monster piece praising Bolton as the voice of reason in the Oval Office, book it.

Don’t you normally need two opposing sides to say you’re remaining neutral?

To use video game terminology the US has been cc’d… but the cooldown on that is coming at us pretty fast. The response to the 2016 election is going to be hugely delayed, but the retaliation will absolutely happen.
