John Bolton to replace H.R. McMaster

[Lakhota]

• H.R. McMaster is the latest casualty amid a turbulent shake-up of senior White House staff.
• McMaster is the second national security advisor to leave the Trump administration in just over one year.

John Bolton will replace H.R. McMaster as President Donald Trump's national security advisor, the latest move in an ongoing shakeup of the president's top advisors.

In a tweet Thursday, Trump said Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., will take over the post on April 9. McMaster, an Army lieutenant general, "has done an outstanding job & will always remain my friend," the president wrote.

Bolton was a recess appointment under Bush - because Bush knew that Bolton would never be confirmed by the Senate.

Good deal! Bolton is one of the good guys.

Careforall, democrats have been pushing for WWIII against the Ruskies for a while now. Bolton simply doesn't like anti-American Muslim regimes.

Rachel "Blinky" Maddow and the other mental cases on MSNBC and CNN will be melting down tonight for sure.

Pretty sure Bolton was one of the guys who was knee deep in WMD in Iraq...

What the hell is a "neocon"?

I'm not even a "conservative", I'm a right-winger.

I agree. Bolton is a lunatic warmonger. He'll be pushing for war with Iran.

Thats your problem Snouter, you think if non Trumpets are angry it must be good...

If a nuclear bomb went off in Mississippi liberals would be angry, does that make it a good thing as well...

Have a little chat to yourself...

Breaking on MSNBC. No link yet.

Somebody leaked the talking points and it was a VERY small circle of people that had access to them.

Of course I was, silly.

CowboyTed, butthurt anti-Donald people will always be angry as long as The Donald is in office! The fact is when unhinged broadcasters like Rachel "Blinky" Maddow and other mental cases melt down, that means something good happened in The White House.

 

[CowboyTed]

Thats two people today... Upping the pace...

His new lawyer is bad

We're already at war with them. Iran has financed insurgents in Iraq and Syria, who have killed American soldiers. They need to be crushed.

good strategic move to try to get the bush2 republicans on trump's side again....

not so good for those praying for peace on Earth, goodwill towards men...imo.... if his views have not settled down and matured over the years....

 

[Rocko]

Bolton is da man!

Indeed you are correct!

 

[Lakhota]

I consider Bolton a very dangerous appointment to our national security. Bolton is not a rational man. Trump just reached into the gutter.

Rachel Maddow will not go mental, she will probably have a bit of a laugh...

Trump is going through staff at a rate of knots... This is his third National Security advisor, good point on this one is that he hasn't been charged with a crime...

You will continue and say this is some kind of victory... Seriously, the first two were duds and third time is a charm...

Admit it this guy can't pick a team and that is why so many have left or been fired... Trump is all over the place, we would get better leadership from Pence's rabbit...
