GO AWAY JOHN BOLTON. When democracy needed you, you needed your book deal. GO AWAY!!!

[Tadicuslegion]

Why are you talking to the guy who refused to testify under oath during impeachment?!

[liavanwissen]

If Bolton talks he should talk about the meeting he attended in Warsaw with Pence about the treason of Trump.

[danielmulhern]

Why in God’s name are you paying this man to come on television? STOP! Even if you’re not paying him, STOP.

[sbrose]

This man should not be given a voice. He had an opportunity to speak before Congress but he chose to promote his book instead.

[fuzy]

ya know JB doesn't need a speaking fee nor do i give a crap about his opinion as awhile back he had a choice between peddling a book or doing his duty to testify and he chose his wallet

[waynedombrowski]

Always a hawk unless it's when he has to take a personal stand..then he gets downright mousy. It's gratifying to know, at least here, other Americans remember.

[Labor_Jones]

I want to hear Bolton speak about Flynn and how Flynn's actions provide strategic opportunities for Putin to continue enlarging their 'pressure for power, ' and 'the continued war on the American Democracy.'

[lorrainetrotter]

I dont want to see this man nor hear a word out of his mouth. What a waste of air time.

[liviadix]

Bolton has lost all his credibility with me. He couldn't stand for democracy then, why should I listen to him now.

[RadagastBrown]

Bolton's advice should be null and void after being wrong so many times in the past.

[mtn]

The full quote is: Russia has played a very weak hand, -Very Well-, for a number of years now... I suspect there is a lot of information we’re not getting in those two words.

[TheArtunism]

Jesus, stop giving people like Bohner and Bolten attention

[liamrooney]

Why are we still listening to John Bolton about anything?

[MrRbuxton]

This man Bolton has absolutely no credibility, why do you give him any audience?

[SLAYERSWINE]

Who knows how good of a hand Putin now holds after the past 4 years of Trump giving him nothing but Aces...

[mikeoxbig]

“Russia, if you’re listening, I’ve been leaving messages, where are you? 2024 is coming.”

- Donald J. Trump

[SaG]

So... literally everybody else in Washington was busy that day and you just *had* to have a talking head on? That's about the only reason I could think of to put this guy on TV.

[paulcopland]

Bolton's opinions are hardly something to rely on.

THESE DAYS IF YOU'RE NOT SPENDING TO RECOVER, THEN STOP SPENDING ?
