In the face of the threat of confirmation blocking in the Senate, Bolton will step down when the 110th Congress convenes. Biden and other senators think he is too "brusque" to effect change in the UN.

What a tragedy for the US. This foretells what a Dem congress means for America.

Back to business as usual at the UN.

Can we kick them out of the country yet?

Very sad to see Bolton go. But, for himself he did the right thing by resigning , and not let the Senate humiliate him by refusing a vote .. he deserves better


W should nom a Dem

It's called a 'down hill slide'. And we're on it.
The future is not a pretty sight.
