Remember that Bolton's stint as US ambassador to the UN under Bush/Cheney was never confirmed. It was a recess appointment. Will McConnell's crew hold their noses and approve this guy?

We'll see how long Bolton lasts now that it's been revealed that <a href="https://www.publicintegrity.org/2018/03/20/21623/john-bolton-eyed-trump-post-leads-super-pac-employed-cambridge-analytica" rel="nofollow">his super PAC paid $1.1 million to Cambridge Analytica</a>. <br /><br />Once again, this proves the truth of what Noam Chomsky said recently in the context of climate change but it applies just as well to nuclear war, "the Republican Party is the most dangerous organization in human history.
