One of the leading advocates/apologists for the Iraq War is reportedly replacing Gen. H. R. McMaster, who Trump has just fired. John Bolton’s unique combination of idiocy and bloodlust is absolutely terrifying. And he’s about to become Trump’s National Security Advisor, a position that I don’t believe requires Senate confirmation. The negative synergy that he and Trump can develop is, IMHO, an existential threat to our country. My only hope? He can’t get a security clearance.
