    It’s what fascists do.

    Look at Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, etc. They all went after their political enemies.

    But being anti-fascist is terrorism now… LMFAO. Fuck fascism.

      Except this is a former political ally. No one in the world wants to bomb Iranian chilsren more than John Bolton. I dont even think israel wants to bomb children as much as Bolton

        This is what fascist supporters don’t understand. The fascists will turn on anyone in a heartbeat. It doesn’t even have to make logical sense. As long as it gives them any kind of political advantage, real or perceived, they will turn on their allies.

        Lepards eating faces, and all that.

          That just means hes lost some of his filter. Every person in the trump admin has said that, guaranteed. Heck vance said he was incompetent. Bolton is by far one of the most ideologically aligned people to the trump admin. This just means theyre starting with the night of long knives first, before kristalnacht.

            Oh, no…he just said it out loud. As in, on television. That’s the trick with Trump. Everyone knows he’s a fuckin’ moron. You just can’t let him know you think that way.

            Which also happens to be another indicator of how much of a moron he really is.

              Maybe popularizing clips of trumps current staff saying how stupid and terrible he is will result in more indictments.

    I mean, it’s still an abuse of power and a violation of the constitution, even if the victim is a piece of shit.

      Yes. You have to get used to defending people you hate from the nightmare, because everyone is somebody someone hates. We stand up for the beggars and the prostitutes, and yes we even stand up for the John Boltons. We all are going to have to fight together against the real end of light. Even the dickheads. And then, once the end has been pushed back a little until next time, we can go back to treating them as dickheads.

      (Especially since Bolton jumped the gun, and somehow started acting like a decent and courageous person a tiny bit by being super-vocal against Trump way before it was cool for people in government to do so. The New York Times was still slobbering Trump’s dick years after Bolton started calling him out, and I don’t think the New York Times should be raided by ICE and destroyed either.)

      That’s the plot. They go after people that are disliked first so the protests are irrelevant and start to normalize such acts. You’re being played!

        Hardly. I’ve been waiting for this since Gee Dubz.

        He was an advocate of the Iraq War as a Director of the Project for the New American Century, which favored going to war with Iraq.

        Fucker got a lot of people killed and thought he could suck trumps butthole for more power. STAY DOWN, BITCH.

        Stopped clock and that.

    A problem of his own making. Say hi to Comey if you see him at the courthouse.

    Good. Hope they throw him in a deep dark pit to be forgotten. One of the worst human beings to have ever lived.
