    Sucks to suck.

    You can’t cast John Bolton as a sympathetic character until he actually says or does something useful to take down the regime.

    Currently, I feel exactly as sad for his situation as do for Rudy Giuliani’s.

      Bolton is extremely critical of Little t, quite vocally so. Even the dek in this article doesn’t mince words:

      Trump’s former national security adviser is a very hateable figure. But he still needs defending from the president’s lawlessness.

      Careful not to fall into the trap of black/white thinking. Bolton can be a snake and unfairly targeted for retribution by the highest office in the land at the same time.

      Currently, I feel exactly as sad for his situation as do for Rudy Giuliani’s.

      Rudy isn’t critical at all. Last I heard from him, he was still all in. If I were to measure my sadness by comparison, I am far less sad for Rudy.

        I’m gonna need Bolton to deliver actionable information that will bring down the regime.

        There’s no black and white thinking here; the regime is acting above the law, including their treatment of Bolton.

        But if you’re gonna get stabbed in the back, fucking produce something useful.
