The particularly dangerous thing about Bolton is not just that he's misguided, but also that he always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room (or on the planet, for that matter).

The man doesn't have an ounce of humility or a moment of pause, despite how frequently history has shown him to be a fool.

Well --- you'd think any person of a similar mind (Trump) would have affinity for that state of mind. How was it otherwise that so many in Hitler's entourage were all narcissists?

Wait, that can't be. My abusive adult nephew is the smartest person in every room. He'll even steal his mother's car when she needs to get to work to prove it.

Shit that's nothing. I've got two nephews that are the smartest. They both think they're adults and fully capable of being able to live on their own despite seriously questions about very simple stuff (like taking showers, not staying up all night fucking around on phones and then not making it to school on time, among many other issues). One seriously wanted to get into an argument about not wearing shoes to take the trash out (not barefoot though, socks, and this was out to an apartment complex dumpster, which means across grass, asphalt, and then around an apartment complex dumpster which isn't the cleanest area). Dumbshit got back and then stubbed his toe on the door and tried to argue that a shoe wouldn't have stopped him from hurting his toe on the door. That'll grow to 4 nephews (one is just a year from being a teenager and the other is 8, both want to argue in the "nuh-uh" way constantly) and 1 niece within the next 10 years too.

Oh and fuck Bolton. Just more trash people that make swamp things look Nobel Prize worthy in comparison.

If the admin is still in power, we'll be in an additional armed conflict prior to the midterms.

Bolton is made out to sound legitimately dangerous. Someone just itching to send your kids to fight and die as the first resort

You know.....
WHY? Would anyone care?????
I mean, as much as we dislike Bolton, Bolton isn't Trump...
Not anymore than was any of the others that finally just couldn't stand it and either walked away or their distaste grew so obvious to us all that Donald had no other choice but to fire them.
Bolton? Not any different.
Bolton will stay around, for awhile, then he too will become just another name on the list of departures.
Either fired or resigning.
Bolton may be a moron and a war hawk and a far right whore, but Bolton is no idiot as Donald Trump has been proven the idiots idiot.
Bolton will take just... so... much... of the nonsense from this orange haired scumbag in chief, then Bolton too will BOLT out of this freak show of an administration.

So, no one need get their panties all in a wad over Bolton coming onboard.
This too shall pass. Most likely sooner than later.
Fox news is not exactly known for hiring the smartest kids on the block, and when they migrate from Fox over to the Whitehouse, that should tell us something.
That the Donald Trump administration has scraped down to the very bottom of the barrel.
There is no one left to pick from.
No one other than Fox news rejects that couldn't even cut it over at Fox News.
And now, their only hope is to work for Donald Trump.

By the time between I wrote this and pressed POST, don't be surprised if this is old news. That Bolton will have already announced his departure from Donald Trump.
Never forget.... we're dealing with Donald Trump here.
A self centered little insecure child that no one will play with in the school yard sand box.
All the kids, especially the smart ones, eventually take their pail and shovel and go play somewhere else.
And Bolton? That too just a matter of time.

sportage, uh, yeah, why should we care about Bolton wanting to start wars?

I think you are trying to desperately put yourself in a mental state to try and not do what you're chastising others about. You're grossly ignoring the common political ploy of starting a war to distract from other problems.

You're also ignoring that Bolton has credentials (that most sane people actually see as reason to not let him anywhere near that position, but for Turmp and Republicans, they get to tout it as some resemblance of being qualified for that role, which is a major step up from his usual selections).

They're going through the usual phase of young adulthood, so its not totally unexpected. One of them might end up being a legit piece of shit, but for the most part it is just the "wild hair up the ass" of youth, that sadly tends to run in my family. I'm kinda the black sheep in that I've never really had that compulsion (but I went through the adolescent phase of being a jackass, it was more short lived than most though, not that I haven't had moments of it and needed to mature more, still do heh). Its frustrating to deal with though (one reason I don't have any kids and don't want any). I could legit write a sitcom out of the stuff though, and its often funny in hindsight, but can be "WTF" when you're in the thick of it. Just trying to keep them from making any particularly dumb mistakes. Which actually that reminds me, I hope they get the male birth control pills going soon. Because I think those will help a lot. Not just with helping to reduce pregnancy, but I think they'll help deal with the overload of testosterone from puberty (which I think plays a significant role in how it tends to be young males perpetrating a lot of violent crimes; female to male people that transition often talk about how the testosterone treatments fuck with their heads, which isn't something that is widely talked about with regards to puberty - in fact it used to be dismissed as "boys being boys" type shit).

Andlet's not forget that Trump is really influenced by the most recent person he speaks to. Bolton is a nut. Trump is a nut who loves him some nuts.

I have loads of patience for the young and dumb but so very little for grown-up and dumb.

I'm very much looking forward to men being responsible for limiting unexpected pregnancies as well. Though if its not promoted as a cool thing to do I worry that too many of them will still expect women to take care of such things while also asking to raw-dog the situation.
