This is actually good news imo.

Probably had something to do with the Taliban talks being leaked.  Guessing Bolton leaked them to the press, because god forbid we aren’t engaged in military conflicts somewhere.

The Stache was the most dangerous person in the administration.

Please, please let this be the last time John Bolton is in a position of power and influence.  He is not good for America's foreign policy.

On second thought, maybe we should wait until Jared Kushner isn't named National Security Advisor before calling it 'good' news.

Normally I would agree with you. Bolton is deranged. But let’s see who we get as a replacement.

Valid point.  

[Jackrabbit]

Bolton will now suddenly be the new darling of the left and will now serve as a cnn regular.

If you think Trump is capable of picking a quality replacement you should read this DSM breakdown of a narcissist and think again...only sycophants need apply. Prepare for a National Security Adviser plucked from his admiring horde.

I agree good news in this case.  Trump is still cleaning up the mess of the 2003 Iraqi invasion.

[NorthWestCowboy]

Of course there has to be drama.  Trump says he fired Bolton.  Bolton says he resigned.  Let the Twitter war begin.................

From what I've read, Bolton and Pompeo talked him out of the Taliban talks, and now he's regretting that it got leaked and he had to look for someone to blame.

That being said, Bolton needed to go... that crazy bastard had no business having the amount of power that he did.

All hail the king, that only hires the bestest people.  And then gets bored and proceeds to fire them.

Hmm.  But how did Bolton get the job in the first place then?
