Hey, if Trump believes removing term limit so he can serve forever is ok, I dare any supporter of his to tell me why it is a good idea.

Sure, but this can all really be explained away just by Trump being an incompetent, corrupt, evil moron.

Arrest or kill him already.

I'm terrified someone will kill him. He'd just become a martyr for some of the worst beliefs in America.
jerner15
I'd rather he die from covid or a heart attack then it's his own fault he died
MrsFartSimpson
Omg, you're right. I take it back!
PersonalityFire
His crazies would blame the deep state for an assassination anyway, these people are rabid for an excuse, even if they have to fabricate it.
imcurrentlyatabar
It would be a conspiracy theory. My hope is he dies of a heart attack walking to the helicopter after swearing in the next person.

Trump will call Bolton a liar and a fraud (if he hasn't already) his base will eat it up, nothing substantial will come of it.
Rijtjeshuis
Bolton is a POS in his own right... but he's not a lying POS. This all seems entirely believable.
imcurrentlyatabar
Yeah. He has literally 0 compassion for any human. He’s a war-loving asshole. But all these notes seem right for trumpy
stupidpendous
Thanks for posting this op
catsandcoke
Bolton could have testified in front of Congress to all of this.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
I agree, but do you think it would have changed anything. Perhaps 3-4 GOP Senators (being generous) would have switched, but not enough. 1/
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
The only real advantage is that the testimony would have been under oath I guess. 2/2
EMBugReports
I really think Bolton is lying here, or at least exaggerating in some way that he couldn't have testified to congress.
sleix
But in true Capitalist fashion, he took his case to the people, for a modest sum, of course...
nojustsayitdont
Holy. Fucking. Shit. And he still fails to get impeached. To the Republican Party: eat a bag of dicks.
cre8majic
I don't care of people are Rep, just don't vote for this guy
youlovemeyouhateme
While these accounts are likely true, Bolton is no patriot. He refused to testify at the impeachment hearings and wrote a book instead.
mcoulter876
There’s more time to reveal with better accuracy in a book than in a hearing. You may not like it, but it’s true.
cheesedogs
I dont remember Bolton asking for votes or approval. He's a snake, but he has stories to tell.
iCanToteIt
It all comes down to money! Always. Keep the rich rich and the poor poor
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
While I agree, I also blame the Democratic Congress people and Senators. They should have fought for the subpoena.
stovetable1965772
Convenient time also. NXIVM leader goes to trial 23June2020. Look it up.
dirtbagdogbb
Really missing the point eh? Gaslighting doesn’t work like it used to around these parts. Pack up the BS and call out Trump’s treasonous ass
BeautifulThighs
Honestly he's not a credible source. I want Trump gone too but are we really going to start trusting John Bolton? John. Bolton?????
Olympia1024
He wasn't allowed to testify. White House blocked it. I just looked it up said he wouldn't voluntarily w/o subpoena bc of the WH
TomBrokaw
That was for the Senate. He declined to testify for the House. They should have subpeona'd, but they didn't because strategy. That's one of/
blameitonmyjuice
I trust you on this, Tom Brokaw.
TomBrokaw
his criticisms against them, that they didn't push hard enough. Which is a half truth, and shows his true color.
JackieTreehornProductions
No, his own legal team later said they’d fight it and drag it out if he was subpoenaed.
DarkZalgo
The problem is a dragged out legal process is equivalent to not letting him testify on a rushed time sensitive trial.

Hey... a fella’s gotta eat! Bolton is a stooge and a war monger. Always has been.
PersonalityFire
We should be alarmed that even John-fucking-Bolton, warhawk shit demon, is even appalled by Trump's self-serving behaviour.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
Ok, but he should have said this to the damn senate instead of trying to sell books. Fuck Bolton.

Yeah, lying under oath is a big no-no. Books however, make millions.

GOP voted against him testifying in the senate.

Had he testified in the HOR, the information would have been on the record.
khora
Had he released his book in January it would also have gone into the records.
kmikl
Yep. It would have been subpoenable.
Sindarian
You seem to think the Senate would have listened to anything he said.
secondbest
Should have testified to the house; he did belatedly offer to to testify before the senate but the GOP controlled senate did not want him to
catsandcoke
The GOP is complicit in everything Trump does
ThefluteCaptainPicardplayedfirstinhisimaginationtheninreallife
and he only offered to testify to the Senate when it was abundantly clear the republican controlled senate was not going to call witnesses.
IdiotPatrol
Wouldn't have mattered. There's no way the Senate would vote against Trump, no matter the evidence.
Anonymous0199846
Ya the whole party is backing Trump they're that corrupt. Might as well go to the American people with it.
Jiggly1984
I honestly do not like Bolton, but I wonder if he chose the lesser of two evils. He knew his testimony wouldn't make a difference.
kmikl
He is a man of no integrity in that case. He chose the lesser of 2 evils, but not the virtue of the N.S.Adv defending the constitution. /1
kmikl
/2 He withheld information from Congress. That isn't honourable, that's damaging the legislative process for personal gain.
therealsarahconnor
Maybe he withheld the information because it’s the type of information people get killed/disappeared over? I’ve no clue, but never assume.

We can't. It takes both houses of Congress to do that. The Republican-controlled Senate refused to even examine the evidence.

Well you guys have a lot of outdated systems to fix already. This is just another one.

Also, the book might have to go through a 2nd round of censorship due to classified information. It can't be classified if it's not true...

As a Brit I see the election of Trump (& Johnson) as a failure of the respective education systems.

Well yes, I believe you're correct. But those systems are failing because they've been sabotaged for this very purpose

If you teach critical thinking and research skill the workforce/voters start to ask difficult questions.

It’s hard to educate people when the system keeps getting defunded. If it’s important, vote for people who will work on the problem.
