Trump's third national security advisor John Bolton shares at least one thing in common with his first one, Michael Flynn: both men have ties to Cambridge Analytica, a political data firm at the center of a new Facebook privacy firestorm.
In a new story, The New York Times reports that John Bolton's political action committee The John Bolton Super PAC hired Cambridge Analytica in August 2014, "months after the political data firm was founded and while it was still harvesting the Facebook data."
In Cambridge Analytica's early days, Bolton's PAC funneled $1.2 million toward polling and "behavioral microtargeting with psychographic messaging" over the course of two years.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

My posting history is available here and clearly spelt out the dangers of Trump early on. Regardless see logic in my last post above which I and any rational person would stand by.
If Hillary or Hitler for that matter states that lowering taxes are good, then I and most rational people that are for lower taxes are not going to oppose lower taxes. It is really not that hard to understand for people that can discuss politics rationally.

Rationality left the arena early in the primaries,, on both sides..
The ensuing Circus and and Media Hysterics are a good enough reason for my expectations.
Both the Trump Derangement Syndrome and the Trump Deification are equally as disturbing.
and equally deserving of derision.
We the People just got PHUCKED,, again.

By Bolton's rationale for first strike "preemptive" warfare, the Pearl Harbor Bombing was perfectly legal

Your Trump Delusional Disorder continues since again that never happened. I am not going to oppose sound policy regardless of the candidate or whether the candidate is believable or not.
Your choice to flip your philosophy to be pro-war, high taxes and for more regulation because they were policies presented by Trump was not rational. (You see I can do the same thing).

Stephen Lendman on the Madness of the psychotic John Bolton:
The most perilous time in world history is now more frightening. Long forgotten is Trump’s campaign hyperbole, calling NATO “obsolete,” along with criticizing trillions of dollars spent on militarism and warmaking. Instead of stepping back from wars he inherited, he escalated them. With Pompeo at State and Bolton as national security advisor …
“ [Bolton] never met a country he didn’t want to destroy.” … “He’s never seen a foreign policy problem that couldn’t be solved by bombing.” … Bolton is militantly hostile to Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, among other nations on his target list.
In February, [Bolton] called for a “decidedly disproportionate,” anti-Russia cyber offensive. He urged Trump to let Putin “hear the rumble of artillery and NATO tank tracks conducting more joint field exercises with Ukraine’s military.” …
He joined the “Russia meddled in America’s electoral process” crowd straightaway – recently calling [it] … “a casus belli, a true act of war, and one Washington will never tolerate,” adding … “I think in order to focus Putin’s thinking, we need to do things that cause him pain…”
He called for “abrogat(ing) New START between Washington and Moscow, a nuclear arms reduction treaty agreed to in 2009, signed in 2010.
He urged a “very strong response” to the Sergey Skripal incident Russia had nothing to do with.
He advocates confronting nonexistent Chinese “aggressiveness” …
Bolton earlier called for military action on Iran and North Korea. … “To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran,” … “The inconvenient truth is that only military action … can accomplish what is required.”
In an April 2017 interview with Breitbart News, he urged ending North Korea, saying “the only long-term way to deal with (North Korea’s) nuclear weapons program is to end (the) regime.” … “I think further discussions with North Korea, further efforts to pressure North Korea, are basically a waste of time. The way to end the North’s nuclear program is to end the North.” …
Bolton’s way is through militarism and endless wars of aggression. He considers all sovereign independent states a threat to US security. … With him involved in administration policymaking, escalated wars of aggression are likely, a greater risk of nuclear war instead of stepping back from the brink.

Not sure what your definition of Trump Derangement Syndrome is, but I would argue that it was completely valid and essential to oppose trump virulently from day 1 unless you were a neocon. It’s laughable to cherry pick supposedly non-interventionist ephemera from his spewing. The minute a New York liberal suggests we bomb the $#@! out of em, it’s obvious where he stands.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again. There was never any advantage for liberty lovers in electing trump over HRC. I would not have regretted her winning and every day seems to bring another reason she may well have been clearly preferable, not because of her policies but because they would have been opposed into ineffectuality. Trump’s true convictions weren’t very far from hers and he’s implementing the progressive platform at lightning speed.
But to American voters, trump was the free market capitalist candidate. Well it will be a long time before a “free market capitalist” gets elected again. Trashing the economy with overspending is just going to exacerbate the hunger for social programs, and Oprah or Biden or whoever will be glad to give it to them.
But on the heels of Obama, I entertain that it would have been better to have an open socialist opposed by a Republican Congress in the Oval Office than the fake capitalist we got.
Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018
Caitlin Johnstone on the psychopathic bloodthirsty John Bolton:
Trump has replaced his National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster with John Bolton, who Glenn Greenwald just described as "unstable, monstrous and bloodthirsty," and "an actual sociopath in the clinical sense of that term." …
there is no more bloodthirsty a war hawk in Washington than John Bolton. Just last month he authored an article for the Wall Street Journal arguing in favor of a preemptive strike on North Korea … Bolton calls for regime change in every rival of the US empire on a regular basis, he knowingly advanced lies to help manufacture support for the Iraq invasion, he revived the US-Russia arms race by leading America's withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, advocates more escalations with both China and Russia, and has spent his entire career pushing for death and destruction at every opportunity.
This latest move makes it abundantly clear that wars are planned, and a team is being assembled to help facilitate them. There is only one thing John Bolton knows, and that's killing. He would not be appointed to National Security Advisor (a position which does not require Senate approval) unless large amounts of killing were planned. …
His cabinet is filling with more and more neoconservative war hawks for a reason, and war is the one and only thing that John Bolton is known for. … You don't appoint a warmongering psychopath to a position previously held by two generals because you want to hear his opinions about the latest season of The Voice. …
McMaster was already scary. Bolton is vastly more terrifying. …
Fifteen years ago, the Republican party spearheaded the charge into Iraq. Now, all signs point to it being used to lead us into Iran, North Korea, and God knows where else. …
