Bolton Fired


As has been expected for a while, National Security Advisor John "Loose Bolt" Bolton (with his mustache, Gen. Snowball) has been dismissed from the spiraling- out- of- control White (Supremacist) House:
John Bolton ― who was notoriously hawkish with his strategy on Iran, North Korea and Syria ― will leave his position as White House national security adviser.
“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House,” President Donald Trump announced Tuesday in a pair of tweets. “I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore ... I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning.”
Doubtless Trump's most recent rationale for defenestrating Loose Bolt was the widely- reported rift  in the regime (leaked by Loose Bolt or his peeps?) over Trump's desire for a grip- and- grin meeting with Taliban emissaries at Camp David on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary to announce... "an agreement in principle."  Loose Bolt made it clear he found the meeting plan repugnant. Also, the howls from Loose Bolt's Republican neo- con allies in Congress like Rep. Liz "Daddy's Little Lizard" Cheney added further embarrassment to Trump and his toadies who were caught flat- footed when the Taliban continued to blow things up in Afghanistan.  Dear Leader Man Baby can't have any public dissension in the ranks!  Not that there is any!  Why, just yesterday he said,



No turmoil!  No turmoil! Quick, look over there!

Given the declining seriousness, independence and gravitas of Trump's top advisors since January 2017,  we should expect Loose Bolt's replacement to be even further down on the food chain.
