As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

@xhdd543 - Curses!
We heard about the way he liked having peeps pee on him, now he’s got that guy with the moustache that won’t quit pooping on him.
Remember everyone to wash your hands!

@tocc : tell me one Democrat who says Bolton is a “hero”. He’s a scumbag who stayed silent during the impeachment so he could sell this book.
So he shares the blsme for the 120,000 (to date) dead due to Trump’s inability to handle a real crisis.
June 23rd, 2020
Gweilo, he stayed silent because he would have to testify under oath.

You neglected to say, does Johnny do the reading hisself, with the full bristly ‘tache, erotic ASMR effect? Listeners will start their players fully clothed, and be miraculously nekkid in salacious seconds. His raunchy, risqué reverberations are near legendary. That’s why he had to go, a tense love triangle in the Oval.

If you STILL support trump at this point, there is something fundamentally wrong with your mind, your soul and most certainly, your allegiance to the United States. May God forgive you… Your children and grandchildren surely won’t.

“If you STILL support trump at this point, there is something fundamentally wrong with your mind, your soul and most certainly, your allegiance to the United States.”
I will sit out the next election after voting for him in 2016. Probably for none of the reasons you can imagine. He turned it out be all talk and no action.
I don’t know why the Democrats are angry with him. More H1bs to take American jobs. He even went to India to celebrate with them. He did nothing to stop the rioting. Tweeted a million times but never followed through.
The only thing I will give him credit for is keeping us out of war with Syria and no military confrontation with Russia. If Hillary were president we would probably not be so lucky.

@jsynapses, not to defend Trump, because the guy screws up just about everything he touches, but had Hillary been President, here’s a glimpse of what the last four years and the future would have looked like.
2017 - Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman President of the United States, shortly there after a Republican controlled House would begin to investigate the (at least) four felonies Hillary Clinton committed during her Presidential run to cover up what??? and the Clinton Foundation.
2018 - the Republican controlled House would have impeached Hillary, sending the impeachment articles to a Republican controlled Senate. The Senate trial would have dragged out through the summer, and Hillary would have ended up being censured, but not removed from office due to insufficient votes along party lines. However, her illegal actions would have decimated those Democrats in both houses of Congress whose seats were up for re-election, and the resulting shift would be toward a more Republican controlled House and Senate.
2019 - Any legislative programs Hillary’s administration would have started would arrive DOA to the House and Senate. Hillary is plotting her 2020 run, hoping things can change to her favor.
Late 2019/Early 2020 - The Clinton administration would receive notice of the seriousness of Covid-19. The Clinton Foundation would have begun receiving large ‘donations’ from Big Pharma companies looking to create a vaccine, and manufacturers looking to begin producing ventilators.
In February 2020 - the US economy begins to tank due to fears on Wall Street of Covid-19. Hillary throws her classic fits throwing glassware in the Oval Office not having a clue as to which route to take, does she shut down the US and exascerbate the collapse of the economy, hope/pray the US can ride the storm out.
In May 2020 - protest riots across the United States would have occurred due to not only due to the systemic racism that exists in our country but also because police unions have too much control of who remains on the police force. Of course she can’t criticize the unions, because they are a staple of the Democrats supporters, so instead her party tries to pass legislation designed to remove personal litigation protection from the officers. The bill fails miserably in Congress.
By July 2020 - the 120,000 deaths mentioned above would still be dead because the US is/was not prepared for a flu like pandemic, and unfortunately, the vast majority died from complications from pre-existing conditions and lack of ventilators.
In November 2020 - Hillary Clinton is resoundingly defeated in the US elections, and the first woman President would be marked in the history books as the worst President ever in the United States.
Somewhere in there the US may or may not have withdrawn their troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Personally, I would bet NOT as most radical muslims have little respect for female leaders, so terrorist activities would have increased world wide with Hillary sitting in the Oval Office. As for your comment about the war in Syria, it’s hard to say, but certainly ole’ Kim in North Korea and Iran would have been acting up, that’s for sure. So basically, the Middle East is a dumpster fire, and all that good relations Hillary bragged about having restored is shot to hell.
The only real question would be how much of the impeachment hearing would the media have actually covered, or should I say covered up as they did during her campaign. Hmm.

Traitor… and soon to be forgotten.
June 24th, 2020
Hey Gweilo, I’m crushed, you didn’t like my alternative reality.
I thought perhaps you could appreciate how little we should think of the people in Congress, especially after how the Democrats spent two plus years of the Mueller investigations trying to prove Russia ran the most effective targeted marketing scheme ever instead of admitting that perhaps Hillary lost because she should have been campaigning in battleground states instead so sucking up to big money in California and New York. All that time and money spent, and what did we get, a 500+ page document that didn’t provide conclusive proof to anything. Allegations and innuendoes that even Pelosi couldn’t pull together a concensus to impeach based on Mueller’s testimony. It surprises me that you would think the Republicans would be any better, and they at least would have plenty effective fodder (CSPAN is a bitch).
You’re right it would make good fan fiction for the “Lock Her Up” crowd. Too bad though that the Senate (and House) can only impeach a President and don’t have any legal authority to imprison them. A number of people would like that ending, but it’s that whole separation of powers thing you maybe remember reading about in Civics class, and it just wouldn’t work. Too bad short of minor piss ant dictators, political figureheads haven’t received equal justice as the populous that they rule over since Marie lost her head. Ah, the good ole’ days.
But anytime you want to explain how/why lying while under oath during a Congressional hearing isn’t Perjury, or destroying subpeonaed evidence isn’t Evidence Tampering or Obstruction of Justice, and providing access to classified information to individuals (her lawyers & the 3rd party firm that did the bleach bit of her servers) isn’t Treason, then STEP UP! Or if explaining how the above is too difficult, how about something easier, like providing a legitimate reason as to why it was necessary for Hillary to bleach bit the hard drives.
Don’t evade as you’ve always done in the past with the “she’s been investigated for 40 years so she must be innocent” or the “comment sections are reserved for comments only” lines.
BTW, I only voted for Trump because as pathetic as he is/was, at least he didn’t commit multiple felonies while running for President. To be honest, I was probably as shocked as you were that he won. But I did get a good laugh when I realized how pissed Hillary must have been not to be able to hear “Madam President”.
June 24th, 2020
Interesting case of the “convenience” among the hard right folk. When they stand next to trump and speak what they like to hear he’s a saint. The moment they start speaking out of line they “traitors” and “liars” and “deep state.” Well folks what will it take? Trump himself telling you he’s full of it? Even then I imagine it’ll be “well it really wasn’t him” or “It was taken out of context” how many people need to speak up about the man about his life before and after the election for folks to pick one person at the very least to be telling the truth? It’s impossible that every single last person is lying except trump.

Quick synopsis
Trump is an unqualified blowhard who is completely out of his depth and in Bolton’s opinion would have been better off if he took advice from people like Super Bolton, saviour of conservatism, able to leap to conclusions like no other advisor to unqualified middle management.
June 25th, 2020
@TotallyDisenfranchised
“BTW, I only voted for Trump because as pathetic as he is/was, at least he didn’t commit multiple felonies while running for President.”
Actually, he did, Mueller documented it.
Barr and McConnell gave him a pass.
As for your fairy tales about Hillary, total BS and totally off topic ON THIS BOOK’S COMMENT PAGE.
June 25th, 2020
TotallyDisenfranchised:
That was some really, really brilliant stuff. I’d intended to comment to the point but you made me irrelevant. I would only add the question: Does anyone actually believe that Biden and the nutjobs currently dominating the public square can actually lead the country? Until Covid-19, Trump had an economy better for African-Americans (and pretty much everyone else) than any time in my lifetime (I am 67). Will the world Biden, AOC, and the Mob provide for your country and grandchildren be so impressive?
June 25th, 2020
@Gweilo, next time before posting asinine comments like “Trumpies. Still drinking the bleach.”, I suggest you take a look in the mirror and ask yourself who’s fooling who.
Since Hillary lost the election, of course it’s a fairy tale, but if you’re foolish enough to believe the Republican party wouldn’t have impeached her for the reasons I’ve mentioned above, you’re woefully naive. They would have done exactly as the Democrats did to influence the 2018 elections. The point being, it didn’t matter which side won the election, there was going to be an impeachment either way.
As to Mueller’s report, NO the report did not provide proof that Trump committed any crimes. If it had, the House Dems would have moved for impeachment immediately. Mueller’s investigation and his report has always been tabloid fodder for the Dems, they knew that they would never be able to impeach Trump on that. Mueller’s Congressional testimony in open and closed sessions wasn’t limited, he could have said anything, and there wasn’t a damn thing Trump or his administration could do to stop him. And yet he didn’t, why do you suppose that’s the case? Why did the Dems only make token efforts to get the entire document? Schiff’s panel leaked everything negative thing they could to the media, if there was one thread he could pull from the Mueller report or testimony do you think that wouldn’t have been leaked too? And yet, it wasn’t!
Instead the Dems didn’t start the impeachment proceeding until after Trump asked Ukraine to investigate the firing of prosecutor that was looking into the company that had Hunter Biden on it’s board when Joe Biden was VP. That threatened the DNC’s chosen candidate, and that’s what the impeachment push was all about. It was to change the narrative from Biden blackmailing Urkraine with over a billion dollars in aid to fire the prosecutor, to Trump asking a foreign power to investigate the Bidens, to Trump being impeached. An impeachment case that anyone with half a brain knew would never make it through the a Republican controlled Senate. But it does change the narrative and takes Biden out of the spotlight.
Try asking yourself these questions: Why would an Ukrainian oil & gas company place a person on their board of directors who had no experience in the oil and gas industry? How much did they pay that person? How could the company leverage that person’s Vice President father when the company is under investigation?
Life tip: try being informed, not influenced.
June 25th, 2020
@TD: “They would have done exactly as the Democrats did” The only defence you can come up with is a world that exists wholly in your imagination. And you give that equal weight to the documented crimes and the hundred thousand dead due to Trump’s also living in a fantasy world.
Don’t waste your time trying to convince anyone here; your buddies already agree with you. The rest think you’re a loonie with your walls of text conspiracy rants.
June 25th, 2020
@oldbooklover, great handle by the way, I like the possible double entendre. No insult intended by the way, I’m 57, and I view myself as old.
Thanks for the compliment, I have issues with comments posted like headlines without any depth to them.
As to your question, “Does anyone actually believe that Biden and the nutjobs currently dominating the public square can actually lead the country?”, well obviously Yes. However, Covid-19 isn’t going to just go away, it’ll resurge like it has in China and other countries as they’ve opened up their businesses. And that’s going to tilt the economy down again. Because most American’s vote with their wallet and not with their head, he’ll probably end up winning the 2020 elections.
Will the US be better off with Biden and people like AOC in charge, I would break that down into two parts. Biden is a moderate, he’s also a tool in my opinion. The DNC wants him there because he was Obama’s VP, and they’ve got no one else on deck that isn’t left wing bent. As for AOC and the Mob, that’s pretty much what it is, a Mob. They have no clue on what to fix the problems that exist in our country (if they can be), they’re just vocal expressing they exist. For example, you can’t financial inequalities through taxation unless you actually tax the rich, which even though we have a progressive tax system in the US, the top 1% pay less in taxes as a percent of income than the average middle class person. Yet the rich are the people that fund the elections, so what politican in their right mind would bite the hand that feeds them. AOC and the Mob will never change that, no matter what social programs that scream for.
The problem with Socialism is society becomes dependent on a government to provide everything, it’s slavery in a can, with no incentive for the average individual to improve themselves.
June 25th, 2020
@Gweilo, I’m sorry you don’t see the hypocrisy of your own statements. On one hand you criticize the GOP for supporting Trump and his policies, and on the other you say that they wouldn’t pursue Hillary with the same vigor the Dems have to Trump.
As to the 120,000 deaths, it’s odd that you say I live in fantasy land, when you seem to believe that none of those people would have died had Trump not been President.
And since you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m not a Trump supporter, so I don’t have to try and convince anyone to like him. I am just setting the record straight, and presenting basic facts and logic.
As to my long rants, well, I’m old (school) so I have little desire to make infantile, uneducated comments based solely on media headlines. Try not to be ageist when you criticize them.
June 25th, 2020
@TotallyDisenfranchised:
“I’m not a Trump supporter,”
“BTW, I only voted for Trump”
So, you’re a hypocrite who votes for a racist criminal incompetent liar, but doesn’t want to take responsibility for it.
June 25th, 2020
@Gweilo, I don’t have to be a Trump supporter to have voted for him in the 2016 elections. I choose him because I had no better candidate from the Democrat side of the aisle to vote for.
As for Trump being a racist possibly, but as I don’t know him personally (thank God) I don’t assume that. His policies if you only read the headlines seem to lean that way. However, I don’t believe in Open Borders either, because the US doesn’t have in infinite capacity to support the population it already has without adding millions of others to the rolls.
Criminal, again possibly, once you can defend Hillary’s felonies above, let’s feel free to discuss that point. Please remember, I’m 57, so I can only wait a few decades for that.
Incompetent, absolutely. He’s a miserable, pathetic speaker, who brags about the accomplishment of others as they were his own. He’s had a handful of business that have failed and ended in bankruptcy while also having literally hundreds that are profitable.
A liar, well duh!!! The cliche is as true for Trump is the same as every other politician. “How do you know a politician is lying? Their mouth is open.”
Does that make me a hypocrite and trying to evade responsibility for voting for him. No, sorry, try again!
June 26th, 2020
Still a hypocrite. You voted for him, you supported him. You share the blame for all he has done. Don’t know which constituency you fall in though:
The evangelicals: of course he’s a scumbag, but he’ll help us impose our religious bigotry on the nation. Or the plutocrats: of course he’s blowing up the deficit, but he will give us a trillion in tax breaks (and now more in covid handouts), and shred regulations that stopped us exploiting the poor and raping the environment. Or the rednecks: he’s a racist asshole who will keep the darkies down, and I love that. Misogynists: Hillary is a shrill bitch, I want the pussy grabber. Putin’s trolls: he’s going to cause so much division and his incompetence will trash the country in a dozen ways while we can get on with rebuilding the Russian empire.
Bolton is the same: got what he wanted, then got out and shrugged off any responsibility for the man he chose to work for.
June 26th, 2020
They’re all warmongering monsters. Trump utilized drone strikes which have killed civilians and children just as much as obama. They all engage in imperialism to make profits for themselves and their donors.

“TotallyDisenfranchised

That is not true.
If the Democrats had not won the House in 2018, there never would have been an impeachment.
June 26th, 2020
Because a lickspittle GOP House would never have allowed it, just as the party before country Senate did not.
June 26th, 2020
OLM! Right?
June 26th, 2020
@Rick11, you’re correct, a GOP controlled House in 2018 wouldn’t have impeached Trump. It wasn’t until 2019 when the Dems controlled the House that an impeachment became a certainty. Thank you for that correction.
However, in the alternate reality of Hillary winning the 2016 election, she would have faced a GOP controlled House and Senate. Impeachment was a done deal.
It didn’t matter which side won the election, it would have happened as no President’s party has ever controlled the House, the Senate and the Oval Office for the entire 4 years of their term.
June 26th, 2020
@illodiini, thank you for the research. I had to look up OLM! Old Little Man!
June 26th, 2020
@Gweilo, hey you want to call me a hypocrite because I voted for Trump but I don’t agree with a lot of his policies, go right ahead. I also voted for Obama twice, and I didn’t like a number of his policies either. Apparently you think you must be brainwashed to vote for someone. Talk about drinking the cool-aid.
As for which constituency I fall into: evangelicals, plutocrats, rednecks, misogynists, or Russian trolls, I can’t say I fall into any of the very colorful descriptions you provided. Although I thought your comment about Hillary being a shrill bitch was funny because her voice is very grating.
And for Russian trolls, you give them way to much credit. Perhaps you can explain to me, and the rest of America, how exactly did the 29 Russians that Mueller had indicted somehow managed to pull off the greatest targeted marketing scheme ever. I guess we’ll never know, as Grand Jury records are sealed, but damn it makes great press without any actual facts.
June 26th, 2020
“how exactly did the 29 Russians that Mueller had indicted somehow managed to pull off the greatest targeted marketing scheme ever. I guess we’ll never know”
Yeah, if you can’t be bothered to read it. e.g. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/mueller-report-internet-research-agency-detailed-2016
“The IRA was able to reach up to 126 million Americans on Facebook via a mixture of fraudulent accounts, groups, and advertisements, the report says. Tw1tter accounts it created were portrayed as real American voices by major news outlets. It was even able to hold real-life rallies, mobilizing hundreds of people at a time in major cities like Philadelphia and Miami. Fake online personas were able to communicate with members of the Trump campaign — who were unaware they were ever communicating with foreign nationals.”
Your ability to distance yourself from Trump while voting for him, supporting his policies and and embracing all his inane conspiracy theories is an impressive display of cognitive dissonance.
June 26th, 2020
@Gweilo, I really do like the line “impressive display of cognitive dissonance”. That was very creative.
Simple question: Do you read and believe everything that you see/read/receive in Facebook or any other form of social media? Yes or No, please answer. For your sake, I certainly hope No.
From the article you posted about the Mueller report: “In total the IRA-controlled [Facebook] accounts made over 80,000 posts before their deactivation in August 2017, and these posts reached at least 29 million U.S persons and ‘may have reached an estimated 126 million people’”
Here’s where your Russian troll theory breaks down:
1) While 80,000 as a number may seem impressive, when put into context as social media posts, it’s actually quite small.
2) The Mueller report didn’t break that 80,000 posting number down into how many were made before November 8, 2016 or how many were made after. That’s an important distinction, because the postings made after November 8th, couldn’t influence the vote. Yet Facebook posts are dated, so if they can count them belonging to an account (or group of accounts), they should be able to report exactly how many were made when.
3) And then there’s the last part, “these posts reached at least 29 million U.S persons and ‘may have reached an estimated 126 million people’”. Ok, I’ll admit I have no idea on how they would measure how many people would have seen a post (Likes/Thumbs up perhaps), but the the words “at least 29 million” and “an estimated 126 million” causes 2 problems: “at least” demonstrates an indeterminable amount of precision in quantifying the number, and “an estimated 126 million” can just as accurately be stated as “a wild ass guess of 126 million”.
So, your Russian Troll theory relies on:
A significant number of American people being so stupid as to form political opinions
1) based on a relatively small number of social media posts
2) that intentionally obfuscates both the timeframe and number of when the postings may have been made,
3) and which can’t even quantify how many people actually saw those postings, let alone begin to say how many may have cast their votes based on that.
Back to the original question, what makes you believe so many people are that gullible that they only form their opinion based on social media? Even if all 80,000 postings were seen/read by 129 million Americans prior to the election, you have yet prove anyone’s vote was actually affected by the postings. That number can’t be quantified, you have no proof whether it was 1, 10, 100, 10,000, 10M, of 50M. Because you can’t prove how many were affected, you can’t say that Hillary lost the election because of Russian Trolls.
June 26th, 2020
Mapping the winner of a US election is actually pretty straight forward when you consider how the electoral college actually works. If you have accurate polling numbers, you can estimate the probability of winning a state and the election. The only question becomes the battleground states, those where the poll numbers are so close that they could go either way. In the 2016 elections, the mid-west was battleground states, specifically, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Now, one candidate visited each state multiple times and made his pitch to match the demographics. The other candidate didn’t even stop in Wisconsin, stopped only in Detroit Michigan, and ignored the rest of the state, and in her two visits to Pennsylvania, she told the coal workers who already had a depressed market, she intended to close coal plants. Hmm, I wonder which candidate was better received in those states?
Have you ever heard of Occam’s Razor? Simply put, if you have two premises, the one with the least assumptions is usually correct.
So, one premise is Hillary lost because of the Russian Trolls, the other is actively demonstrated she didn’t care about the majority of the people in three states. Which way do you believe the razor will land.
It’s a logic thing, perhaps not your strongest suit.
June 26th, 2020
“@illodiini, thank you for the research. I had to look up OLM! Old Little Man!”
Um, no. I’ll give a hint: It doesn’t mean Black Lives Matter.

June 26th, 2020
@illodiini, please tell me it’s not Orange Lives Matter! After all the new commentaries criticizing anyone that says All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, even Brown and Asian Live Matter, I would have thought everyone understood on how incredibly racist it apparently is the think of anything other than Black Lives Matter.
But, ok, when I posted my reply it was 4 AM or there abouts, so I was wrong. Damn glad I didn’t go with Our Lady of Mercy, that would be really embarrassing.

And by that logic, premise, the United States deserved to be destroyed by an imbecile tin pot dictator, because 77,000 people in three states had their widdle snowflake feelings hurt when a woman they despised did not visit, and the thought of proof that Russian trolls had anything to do with his fictional landslide win, hurts the imbecile tin pot dictators widdle feelings.

@TD: For someone who declares he doesn’t like Trump, you follow his style of argument exactly, except you can use complete sentences.
Response to anything he has done is the last 3 years is how he won in 2016 fair and square, and then a “But Hillary”.
This book is not about 2016. If you’re not writing about the book “The Room Where It Happened”, go elsewhere.

@Rick11, well at least you can admit that some people despised Hillary, that’s more than some people can do.
You must think very little of the United States to believe it’s been destroyed by a questionably bad President.
I say questionably, not because I think Trump’s been a good President, but because I fail to see exactly how he’s destroyed the country.

“@TD: For someone who declares he doesn’t like Trump, you follow his style of argument exactly, except you can use complete sentences.”
Gee, that’s almost a compliment, too bad the bar is set so low. Anyone that can write half a sentence without saying VERY VERY can do better than Trump.
You brought up the Russian Trolls, I just pointed out the fallacy of using that as an excuse as to why Trump won the election and provided a more logical rationale for Hillary to have lost. You shouldn’t begrudge me for making the case, especially when you had the easy part: copy/paste a link, copy a selected portion of the article, and making the usual snipe comment.
As for the Bolton’s book, I think author is morally reprehensible, and ethically challenged. And while the material may/may not reflect accurate conversations that took place in his presence, I’m sure the most accurate synapsis of the book was presented by Archimendes above.

The “room” was where Bolton the Boob mentally abused himself.
Save your $$. A loser and whiner’s rants filled with tons of contradictions

Book Ghost Written by Steve Bannon, which is why Bolton doesn’t know what’s in it as evidenced by his clueless answers when asked about details in the book during recent interviews.

I really hope that everyone who commented here first read the book. There is no doubt that Bolton is a hard line hawk and Republican, but he makes convincing arguments throughout the book, and appears to be realistic about the (often terrorist) organisations he takes his hard lines with. Even as a non American who is appalled by Trump, I found Bolton’s accounts of what ‘apparently’ really happened in regards so many situations we are all familiar with, truly fascinating, and I feel incredibly well informed as a result. Trump comes out this book bigly badly, and is several respects his behavour — as reported here — has been worse than this Trump hater anticipated.
The person who commented about Bolton ‘keeping quiet’ about the attempted impeachment of Trump should know that the last chapter was written before that happened, but Bolton does deal with it fairly in the epilogue. I am now eagerly awaiting Mary Trump’s book, and hoping it is released as an audiobook and shared here.

Part 1- Bolton justifies the Bush administration, excoriates Obama, humbly expresses his regret that Trump didn’t recognize his obvious genius until it was too late. Couldn’t stomach part 1 any longer, went on to watch cat videos (cheaper than antidepressants).
Happily have read Mary Trump’s book: just too damn bad should couldn’t have the whole damn family committed.

I’m sitting in the smallest Room in the house. In front of me I have Bolton’s “book”. In a few moments it will be behind me.
