Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice…John Bolton, John Bolton, John Bolton… One a scary ghost-like figure, providing only more bad luck to the dead, the other a frightening ghoul, providing even more bad luck to the living. One a character only Tim Burton could conjure up with his vivid and vivacious imagination, the other only really nasty Republican Fascists could count on, and hard to imagine, exists in human form, and leaves nothing to the imagination.
In the ending of Beetlejuice, we find him defeated, his powers to haunt and hunt, and cause chaos, aborted by the wiles of the dead and the living. John Bolton was defeated by a spookier ghost, and albeit the stench of xenophobia and nativism still remain, wafting through the halls of the White House, however, but it seems Bolton, was not evil enough to keep his fumes of hate alive. So unlike Beetlejuice, by saying his name three times he appears, it appears that Trump must have shouted John Bolton, John Bolton, John Bolton, and made him disappear.
The REALLY spooky thing, however, is…as evil and horrific, self-serving and selfish John Bolton is, IS the fact that Trump still remains the GUY making the deals with the Devil, and the Devil apparently didn’t find John Bolton a bad enough guy…I mean you got #Moscow Mitch, Little Lindsey, Mike Pompeo, Stephen (but I am Jewish damn it) Miller, and William Barr in the CABAL so I suppose it is still the Devil’s Playground at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
