That's all he's got, his narcissism. Plus the adulation of ridiculous people.

Marc Short reminded that MAGA’s original blame story for J6 was antifa posing as Trumpers. Cretins, not patriots.

This clown fought the subpoenas for how long?
A true patriot.

All this Trump's horrible stuff is all fine and well but what about coming up with some alternative policies?

david-stone.bsky.social•62 days ago

Since then we have the new, morphed Trump, a Musk/Vance/Thiel trifecta, and rather than muddying the water it clears things up. We'll have a Musk/Thiel administration with Vance running errands.

This will make matters overseas even more troubling.

Thanks Mr. K

I’m just a regular mid-western American. But, f this guy. He could have done what is right long ago. It’s useless to sound the alarm now. Whatever

patmcmillan52.bsky.social•62 days ago

Why do we give him space?

julesp1.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yea everyone’s brave after the fact

jackacid.bsky.social•62 days ago

How does this change anything?

mmeed.bsky.social•62 days ago

Your circus, your monkeys, I suppose, but it seems to me the business of interviewing former Trump political operatives should be preceded by a couple of questions. Namely, what insights does this person have that aren't self-evident or by now common knowledge? /1

patmcmillan52.bsky.social•62 days ago

Thank you

mmeed.bsky.social•62 days ago

Secondly, if said individual could have done the right thing at the right time but didn't, and may now be scrambling to stay relevant, why would one offer him a platform?

Again, not my call. Just saying.

Before each of the last two elections he claimed Trump was a clear and present danger to the country, but in both cases he said he wouldn't vote democrat. He is not a logical thinker.

peter-b-c.bsky.social•62 days ago

He lives in Maryland, a state that voted for Kamala Harris by a margin of almost 30%, so maybe he logically thought it it through and noticed that however he voted or didn’t voted for could not possibly change the election result?

peter-b-c.bsky.social•62 days ago

however -> whoever

reneevoicebrand.bsky.social•62 days ago

Puhleeze! He's part of the problem. He had his chance to speak out but he needed his experiences with the convicted felon/rapist/traitor/draft dodger bankrupt conman for his book. He's all about the dollars.

pineyparadise.bsky.social•62 days ago

Come on. Way too late.

kbkorb.bsky.social•62 days ago

Bolton's been saying that since he left the Trump admin. The problem is much of the media, and the GOP, pretending Trump is normal, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

cocothecat.bsky.social•62 days ago

Donald Trump's attention is captured by immediate frustrations, provocations, and opportunities. His sizing up of a situation to meet his narcissistic needs is hard-wired. It is not complicated by deeper aims, accommodating other people’s interests, or worries about future consequences.

laurellr.bsky.social•62 days ago

He had his chance to speak up during the impeachment inquiry. Now is too late. Time to move on from him. He doesn't deserve a platform.

exovoomnia.bsky.social•62 days ago

John Bolton is an idiot who wanted to further inflame middle east. Trump rightfully terminated him.

czarofangola.bsky.social•62 days ago

John Bolton, which is Latin for opportunist, had his chance to do the right thing for the country and he chose self.

flacotx.bsky.social•62 days ago

John Bolton spoke out too late against Trump, and he tried to reserve the most damaging facts about the last Trump administration for a book that nobody cares to read.
