Breaking News: Lieutenant Loony quits Captain Crazy

On the one hand, the world is safer. On the other hand there's still a six year old behind the wheel of our bus as we're careening down the turnpike of life at 80 mph, and accelerating.

Hire, fire, repeat. Oligarchs do this.

The next National Security Adviser: Yosemite Sam.

Who needs a National Security Advisor when the President is, himself, the one and only?! By the way, this whole thing reminds me of a very political word, DISTRACTION!

[taralyamcdonough]

I never thought I’d be siding with John Bolton!

[pokerandphilosophy]

Trump just tweeted his shortlist for Bolton's replacement: Alex Jones, Patrick Crusius, Sergey Kislyak, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada and Jeanine Pirro. Whoever wins the bikini competition will get the spot.

SMFH...taliban on US soil invited. WTF was such people thinking

[olrikparlez]

Ever notice that when Trump is away from the podium and sitting among his 'peers' so to speak, he usually sits hunched forward with his arms folded tightly to his chest like a nervous schoolgirl in a boys locker room? It really says a lot. It says he damned well knows he shouldn't be where he is.

[andioppermann]

you should put the dates on those departures, that would really illustrate the point

[trkstar]

Trump loves to talk big but his hands can only carry a small stick

[strummer]

What matters most is that the war monger John Bolton is out. This is great news(in my opinion). What matters least is why John Bolton is out.

[deborahblackshear]

I believe John Bolton on this about the Camp David meeting.

[Sole-Survivor]

Imagine if Bin Laden were still alive - Trump would make him a best friend.

[sibusisomngadi]

WH Cabinet Office running low on band-aids for all those people
who have been proverbially thrown under the bus or fell on their sword... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Leskeepingitreal]

What kind of boss fires someone by text ? or social media ? A COWARD

[dancingwithnature]

I agree that having bolten out makes the US safer. He was way beyond hawkish! He was always itching to go to war with anybody and everybody.
His mustache reminded me of Wilford Brimley in the "eat your oatmeal" ads.

[thatguywhowearsblack]

The rats are fleeing the sinking ship..and Trump misses them.

[joelwateres]

One way or another This darkness got to give

[Communitysunshine]

I am no fan of John Bolton, but I'd trust him ANY day over horrible lying Trump...
