In a single tweet, he undercuts John Bolton, downplays North Korean missile test, disagrees with his Japanese hosts’ concerns about the missiles, misspells Biden’s name and cites Dictator Kim’s pandering comments to attack the former VP while on foreign soil. Jet-lag? https://t.co/vZ7zkxKPGM
So Republicans - this is what you’re supporting? Do ya’ll have no shame? No sense? When will you acknowledge that this sad, irresponsible, incompetent man is destroying our republic? Care about something other than yourselves. Care about our country. #WhereAreThePatriotspic.twitter.com/9U7jPPysks
Mr. Painter often impresses me in always thinking like an Officer of the Court and defender of the rule of law:
The Hatch Act prohibits @PressSec from using an official interview to attack @JoeBiden.
The Treason clause of the Constitution prohibits @realDonaldTrump from giving aid and comfort to the leader of another country (while we are still officially at war) in his attacks on Biden. https://t.co/bHzTkQCFl7

The spokesman also said that Bolton’s “hammer act” was responsible for the collapse of a major nuclear deal between the countries reached in 1994, when the North agreed to halt its nuclear program in exchange for U.S. fuel aid. The deal broke down in 2002 after U.S. intelligence agencies said North Korea was continuing its pursuit of bombs with a secret uranium enrichment program.
“Bolton should not be called a security adviser who works to secure security, but an adviser for security destruction who destroys peace and security,” the spokesman said. “It’s not that strange that crooked sound will always come out the mouth of a man who is structurally flawed, and it’s best that this defective human product goes away as soon as possible.” [.....]
North Korean spinmeisters no dummies, know wassup. I bet they are working on Trump to fire Bolton, just another brainwashing job, easy peasy stuff (not that it would be a bad thing, unfortunately Kim basically would take his place)
Here is current headline story @ the NYTimes:
Trump Undercuts John Bolton on North Korea and Iran During a trip to Japan, President Trump contradicted John R. Bolton, his national security adviser, on missile launches and regime change in Iran.
It raised questions about the administration’s policy and personnel in the middle of confrontations with both long-term American adversaries.
