Not really worth a post of its own, but Bolton out here railing against a second Trump term is the best broken-clock-right-twice argument I've seen in a long time.

Bolton's book is fucking hilarious. The pomposity drips off the page like wet red paint. He also comes off as a self-aggrandizing oaf - there are a number of statements and arguments made in that book where you're left going "did you even go to college."

But the best part is as a deeply unserious man with a wafer-thin understanding of the world, the degree to which Trump just fucking rubs him the wrong way is a goddamn joy. It's like watching leprosy write an essay about how much lupus sucks.
