  1. Don’t buy John Bolton’s Book. Period!!! Fed up with these money grabbers who want profit over their oath in protecting America!

    1. @jabberwolf : You think that every single one of those people haven’t provided proof?
      Well, maybe not in your little world five feet under the sand.

    2. @S O : Please don’t quote The Washington Times; no one with working brain cells actually buys their claptrap. Fail.

    3. @Kay Gee they provide EVIDENCE but that does not mean PROOF.
      Anecdotal evidence is not proof.
      Mueller flat out said he found no Russian collusion. The whistleblower actually heard something second hand.
      And Bolton is selling a book.
      What the press does NOT tell you that is evidence that the Ukraine call had nothing to do with Biden – is that the IMF also withheld aid.. and BOTH Trump and the IMF released their aid on the same day. The day after Ukraine raided Privatbank.
      My little world depend on facts and comparative analysis. Yours seems to operate on orange -man-bad syndrome.

    4. @Kay Gee Well then, I guess that makes you a Washington Times subscriber.
      You can find articles on the same matters from your choice of liberal media platforms. Lastly, your it’s “his administration” tactic doesn’t work out as the contract has Obama’s signature and was publicly defended and endorsed by Obama. Fail.

    1. @john abbot no, trump made a stupid tweet and the democrats acted like it was an executive order or something. Bolton himself said no when asked to testify. Also the democrats couldve gotten a subpoena and forced him to. 🤷‍♂️. Oh well tho orange man bad

      Also the only thing that was blocked was the info going public in the Mueller report (that’s why its redacted, meaning edited). Both sides seen everything.. Mueller himself even testified. Did you miss all that??

    2. @Ryan Coldiron how do you know the book is full of lies, read it and find out, history is going to rip trump to shreds.

    3. @Blank Blank no, I wont read the book. Why would I? I already know how it ends.. it ends with trump being acquitted of any and all crimes and bolton making a million dollars.

    4. @Jason Springer jokes are generally funny, witty, don’t give up the day job just yet, you’ve really got to tighten up your material.

    1. xlioilx look the low iq tool is back. Where you been pushing your daily garbage? Reassigned? Laughable as usual

    1. @Roger Allan if he actually had anything it would’ve leaked by now.lmao my point is there are money grabbers in both parties no matter how much some of them talk about millionaires and “fair shares”. These people are just paying lip service to the radical left that has risen as a result of their promotion of racial and class division in pursuit of power.

    2. @MOLON LABE you almost had me until you said radical Left.. the threat is the radical right aka Trump base.. the only confirmed kills have been from them supporting the president.. remembered, those “good people”?

    3. @Roger Allan if trump supporters are such a threat why are you here to talk about it? Trumps term is almost over

    4. @Roger Allan only because Steve scalise didn’t die. On that note I’m sure you’re aware of the fascist tendencies the left has shown desperately trying to silence anyone who doesn’t think like them including on campuses and on the internet. How many people have been beaten for supporting Trump again? How many have been beaten for supporting Obama/Hillary/Sanders? Your bias is showing and I’m sure you’ll find some way to justify shooting a Republican congressman and beating innocent Trump supporters. It’s what you do when you’re a leftist in the party of “love and tolerance”.

  2. I am an avid reader and buy many books, but this one is on my ” do not buy” list. Wouldn’t even read it for free.

    1. Soak it in gasoline and light it. Don’t worry about the fire John, you can safely put it out with a 12 ga.

    1. Spoke up? One thing Bolton is is not stupid. He knew the when he offered his testimony in the senate that the republicans would NEVER let him testify. And what if bolton did….impeachment was never about the truth or removing trump…it was about having on the record senate republicans covering up for trump…..its about susan collins looking like a complete moron with the ‘trump learned a lesson’ stupidity and the other republicans stupid comments…….i’ve yet to hear …trump did nothing wrong,……and the bonus is having one republican actually tell the truth and vote to impeach…and explain why in detail.

    2. @Jeff your tinfoil hats too tight, jeff. If you think the impeachment was anything other than the democrats opening an investigation into their political rival to influence the election, you’re insane.

    3. Donnie Raveling he doesn’t want to end his career by Trump’ revenge like Vindman’s brothers. It’s true hero vs bone spurs.

  3. Bolton’s a coward. Do not buy his book. Let the media disseminate any parts of it that are damning to Trump, for free.

    1. @Kenneth Burmeister Show me where the media has called Bolton a hero. He had a chance to be a hero but chose the sleaze book route instead. Turns out you need to pay to hear the truth from a swamp member. Who knew!

    2. @Rocket Missile If you are referring to fox, of course they won’t report the truth. The legit media outlets have consistently interviewed authors and quoted passages from books critical of tRump, case in point, Rachel Maddow covering Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff.

    3. @Kenneth Burmeister No one is flip flopping. Everyone hoped bolton would step up and do the right thing since he was in the room when tRump was committing his crimes, but bolton chose to serve himself instead of his country.

    1. Never trust anybody that loves Trump, and not the truth. Never trust anybody that puts the safety and security of the United States below their own financial gain. And never trust anybody that hasn’t had an active IQ test since he was two. Never trust anybody who doesn’t release his taxes, or his school records, so that people can see how money grubbing, completely uneducated, and dishonest he is.💩💩💩

  4. Hes just a war monger who helped lie us into a war in Iraq and would love nothing more than to go to war with Iran.

  5. I say don’t buy the book. The media will review it anyway, we’ll get the highlight without having to line Bolton’s pockets. Especially as he played with the impeachment process.

    1. But? That’s cute… It will be leaked the moment it is released and he will get zilch from it, watch… IF the “president” doesn’t block it to cover his CRIMES

    2. Roger Allan why would he block it? Its the word of a known war hawk. If anything will be exposed itll be all the war crimes mr moustache took part in.

    3. @C-Bomb : He blocked Bolton’s testimony (“he knows some of my thoughts”), and of course he’s blocking the book. Duh. Are you awake?
