I view it as a moral obligation to stand up for Bolton, even though he refused to testify at Trump’s impeachment and instead withheld his candor until his book came out. He’s a flawed human. If you wait for the perfect victim of fascism before you speak up, it will be too late.

I'll stand for the rule of law all day, and still have zero empathy for this Republican POS.

I never liked Bolton but, what Trump Is doing to him is not right.

President said Bolton is stupid. We should see in about two weeks.

Bolton has his chance to be a patriot. Idgaf what happens to him.

💯

In other words, he helped elect Trump. So unappreciative, this Orange Pedo Monster.

I hate John Bolton, but I'd donate a little cash to his defense fund.

Some will CHOOSE race over democracy EVERY TIME. Don't kid yourself. Millions of "Americans" did and would do it again.

So, he's still fuking Americans w a pitch fork! May we keep him out of jail because that is the right thing to for Democracy! May we also make his life so uncomfortable that he moves to a remote Pacific island! Fuking milqutoast!

Orangiglia is a contemptible, traitorous, tool. He is far, far worse than Bolton who is a terrible person. Those who did not vote, or wrote people in, voted for Orangidiot. Bolton voted for trump, he is getting what he voted for.

That does stick in my craw but I care more about restoring the rule of law and democracy than enjoying the gotcha. So retribution is: -wrong -unbefitting a person in power -antithetical to the American character I stand with John Bolton

Perhaps if he hadn’t wasted his vote, America wouldn’t be subjected to a fascist regime Seems like his choice of working for this president was a huge mistake Perhaps he needs make better life decisions

Surely he got what he voted for. It’s fair & reasonable. Let Trump throw him in jail.

What’s happening to Bolton is an evil thing, bad for our democracy. It is also his KARMA for withholding information that could have helped our democracy, for his own personal gain.

Bolton is NO NALVNY

Idiot

A lukewarm 🗳 vote.

Embracing that two things can be true at the same time.

Except all those people voting for Eisenhower or not voting at all because they couldn’t vote for a Democrat or a woman essentially opened the door for Trump to win.

Wow

Is that what they call an "infra dig"?

John Bolton is a piece of shit. But the law is not to persecute those who disagree with you.

The real POS is DJT. I'll take Bolton any day. @ least he knows what the hell he's talking about in terms of foreign affairs so he doesn't have 2 whitewash everything in the entire world 2 cover up his total fascistic stupidity.

goes without saying worst American in living history

Somebody on Facebook called Bolton Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. It’s about right.

Half a “Fuck him!”

Political savagery gone wrong.

I’ll stick up for the rule of law and due process that fascist thugs like Bolton and even Trump are entitled. But no, I will not stick up for Bolton any more than he stood up for the principles he defied and now desperately needs. He knew what he was doing

Zero sympathy for John Bolton. Knowing what he knows, he campaigned against the alternative. I have zero sympathy for self-righteous a-holes. And for all I care, he can rot anywhere he is taken to. Same goes to, for example, muslims, latinos, blacks for Trump. In short: up yours.

In Afar, Afrikaans and English?

Ill concern myself when this happens to someone who didn’t make this mess. Bolton and Comey deserve what they get. McConnell couldn’t possibly receive sufficiently bad treatment.

Is there a current living Dwight Eisenhower? I know the famous General Eisenhower had a grandson named David Dwight Eisenhower, after whom camp David was named. But I don't know if he's still alive or if any of his kids were named Dwight, thereby allowing them to claim that one vote. #IlikeIke

It can definitely be both.

Bolton and Trump have the money over people thing in common. He’s a jerk.

I'm sorry George I can't stand up for John Bolton. He chose writing a book and selling it over telling Congress of all the things he knew about Donald Trump. His choice was money over country. I cannot support that.

Opposing what Trump is doing to John Bolton does not amount to supporting John Bolton.

Nor can I. But 1 bad decision does not a bad man make. It's when every decision is egregious and self-serving that problems start.

I disagree with you. I think we're in the fix we're in right now becuz we let ppl off the hook on a repetitive basis. Just cuz they're nice ppl or they go to church or synagogue or temple; doesn't mean they're great ppl. He chose 💰 at a dangerous time in history.

@Bombaycrone is correct in that we are partially responsible for the hole we are in. We got complacent and lazy, 2 many people disengaged. We got taken advantage of, we got rolled. Now we have a mess of our own making on our hands it will b touch 2 fix.

He had his chance to do more and he didn't. How much different is he than Trump?

He should look alarmed and mortified.

Bolton is a disgusting un-American p.o.s. traitor, but this trumped-up investigation is bullshit.

Interesting that as he's subjected to ABUSE, he thinks of the 1/2 Black Woman.

He would be and no thanks. Bolton helped create Trump.

That just gave him more of the edge

That's right, write in the President who until now had the rottenest, meanest, most racist roundup program in American history. Nice work. But I'll give him this: he @ least had a few redeeming qualities. & he was a helluva General. Can't say that about anyone in there this time.

I’ve only two words for you. Rearrange if you don’t like the order: Dick head.

In Bolton's defense, no one has tied Ike, yet, to what happened on Friday.

Sorry George, but nope. Not only did Bolton sell out the country for a book deal, he still voted for Trump in the end. He will at least get his due process unlike so many others. He can certainly afford it. You reap what you sow. Hope the book deal was worth it. May he never have a moment's rest.

Imagine the mess he'd be in if he voted for Harris and she'd won?

Now that would b interesting!

I don't much care for John Bolton, but democracy only works when we stick up for the rights of people we don't like.

👏👏

EXACTLY!

True in every way, but I’m not sure he would return the favour

Yes, Bolton is a piece of shit, but it's a free country, even for pieces of shit. I'm with you. Wait!.... I guess it still is for some pieces of shit....President, Cabinet members, Republican Party.

Last fall, Bolton refused to link arms with Democrats against a common threat to American democracy, so screw him.

Fascism doesn't become okay when it's being directed against someone you don't like.

It’s not okay, but that doesn’t mean he deserves any action on my part.

Absolutely agree: It's not okay and should be condemned. But I wouldn't contribute to a legal defense fund or march in protest to support him.

If you want to have sympathy for someone who is responsible for enabling a fascist but then gets in trouble, go ahead. I'll save my sympathies for those standing against fascism from the start. PS: Do you think Bolton would give a crap if Trump's DOJ raids Obama's house & then marches him to prison?

The difference between people like Bolton, Rice, Paul Ryan, (and even Bill Barr) and the MAGA clown show in power now -is that in their heart of hearts, they still would not totally betray their country for personal gain.

As someone on Threads said:

We had a better option than Trump. It was apparent then. It’s obvious now.

It's not even about Bolton. It's about equal justice under the laws of the United States.

Well then 🤷🏽‍♀️

Maybe he should have been an impeachment witness, instead of saving it all for a book. 🤷‍♀️

Exactly!
