People like Trump are often in need of the occasional slap or pinch on the face just to keep their egos in check. He's clearly managed to avoid those his entire life and it shows. He thinks he's invincible but nothing could be further from the truth.

Meh, Biden is a wimp too. If he wasn't a wimp he would have run for Pres. in 2016

He'd just lost his son to brain cancer. Do some research before you post crap.

MBS says he has Kushner in his pocket.

Talking about a silly imaginary fist fight between Trump and Biden is crap posting anyway. Lighten up
Whatever makes you feel better.
You're the one that seems to want to step onto your moral high horse about a tongue-in-cheek post.
You're trying to equate taking the piss out of someone for tweeting about wanting to fight someone to calling someone a wimp for not running after their son died.

So yeah, I will take the high ground.
Finally. Tillerson's meddling was clearly the only thing stopping Jared from brining peace to the Middle East
Ok gunslinger, whatever you say
Seriously, I haven't been following the specifics of this so maybe I'm missing something... But how the feck is that allowed? Is there some kind of precedent which allows this or how does it work in the States?
Literally my first google hit gives this:

As far as I know, a civillian position is anything other than police, army, firefighters...

Heard a lot of hyperbole about how frightening an appointment this could be. How bad is this guy?
He's a warmongering lunatic. Basically calls for war against anyone, Iran, North Korea, whoever. He's all for the USA imposing its military might around the world.
Check out some of his Fox interviews on YouTube. Scary stuff and until Trump became President he was pretty much just a Fox loon that nobody would ever take seriously. Now though.....
He also seems to be wearing tasseled loafers.
John Bolton spotted at the WH.
Is it time to start "prepping"?
He carries all the conservative Republican ideas of maintaining post-WWII US hegemony as McMaster, but without the wisdom or moral center.
Not a great mix in the current climate, to say the least...
Start?
Seems Bolton praised ''freedom" under Putin for a Russian Gun Rights Group.
#MAGA.
#MAGA.
Bolton is the new NSA. RIP Iran deal
Wait for the tweet in a couple of months from Trump stating that he was never close to McMaster when he inevitably goes to jail.
Showing in Washington?
War it is then? 
That photo of Trump & Melania is posed to give us the false impression that they're holding hands.
Hadn't Sanders said that McMaster leaving was "fake news", or somesuch?
Either way, this is shit.
Either way, this is shit.
The Trump isolationists won't like Bolton.
The right love a war. It's fecking weird.
Iran is more fecked than NK for sure. They gave up their insurance.
The Administration as got even more chaotic .If that's possible
Good time to get out of Iran.
They've been marginalised and reduced from the start and especially after Bannon left.
Yeah the last time I noticed them was the bit of whining after Trump bombed Syria.
The only positive to take from Bolton's appointment is that he probably won't last very long, I reckon he's just the type to piss Trump off in some weird way.
