    Trump is in a tither---oh my

    John Bolton is about to drop the dime on trump and the art of the dirty deals---and coming up shortly behind Bolton is the trumper's niece, Mary, who is going to drop the family bomb on him.

    Washington post already has a full copy of the Bolton Manuscript. Doubt they will sit on it.

    Including John Bolton. It is nice to see tolerance for past failures and reaching out in the hopes they might find something he could actually do.

    His appointment to be National Security Adviser was scary for me---who needs a warmonger next to an erratic "king"?

    This morning's NYT has a long article on Bolton, suggesting he is on trump's trail to nowhere land. I'm not sure of that, they maintain that Bolton's "exile" to Mongolia while trump was in Korea is the key indicator. I'd argue that even trump would not drag Bolton along, who has in the recent past urged preemptive strikes against NK. The little round one might not appreciate that.

    Independent of my reservations about their assessment of a downward spiral, I did find this of interest:
    Hilarious. Dave, who repeatedly has voiced his unending disapproval of everything John Bolton has ever said or done because he is too aggressive and warlike, is now waiting with baited breath for words from his nemesis telling whomever is willing to listen how President Donald Trump was an idiot because he did not take his advice to get us in another war!!!

    You are correct sir---Bolton is not on my "favored person list"----but in this case I'll let him be my friend

    ...and in today's WSJ:

    “He is a liar,” Mr. Trump told The Wall Street Journal, adding that “everybody in the White House hated John Bolton.”
    Now there is a weighty statement---if there is anyone in the land who could identify a liar it would have to be the nations biggest liar----oh----do ya think that might be just another lie?

    I think we're seeing the beginning of the end of the Trump years.

    trump didn't have much success in the courts this week---and now the courts will not stop Bolton's book from being released. As we used to say down on the farm----makes no sense to close the barn door after the horse is gone

    This is a little like watching cannibalism at work---not necessarily a bad thing.

    Next up---little Mary will be along in late July

    Ah---but my dear friend---I think none can demonstrate those ingrained traits with more clarity than trump himself

    Trump and Pence cancelled their outdoor speeches today due to low public attendance. Better still, Trumpsters blamed the Media and protestors for it.
