Fake. The guys ate too well and uniformly dressed, and too fit.

At first glance your avi looked like a guy with a gun - I hate that’s where we are. Sigh of relief on the axe 🤘

idiot breaking the law

Mind changed

John Bolton sold his access, contacts and ability to influence policy to the highest bidder. In DC parlance they call that a “consultant.” When the consulting is contracted for a specific foreign national interest, the title shifts to “lobbyist.” That was his job, and all of Washington DC knows it.

Is this how you felt when they were going after Reps for contesting the election, or trump and the files or trump and the journal entries with a $500m fine? Glad you’ve come around to the correct position.

“Target” is too vague: the FBI searched his home.

In a targeted raid. Glad I could help here.

As you can tell, I read the story and learned that the FBI searched his home. “Targets” could mean almost anything. Your reply was unhelpful. I hope you find something else to feel glad about today.

My God, that potato on the kitchen counter looked dangerous. It has a brown skin and the eyes were watching me. BWAHAHAhahahaha ICE needs to melt some.

I don’t get it. Was your reply intended for someone else? Regardless, you might like to read Ben Wittes’s piece on the Bolton witch hunt: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Sorry, humor isn't always done well, and even then it doesn't always work well on the Internet. That's why the real comedians get paid the big bucks. :-/

To me it reads like a good punch line without a setup line. Yes, comedy is one of the most lucrative professions. Wittes takes it for granted that Bolton will be indicted and will have to spend lots of $ defending himself. That’s a shame. I’m no JB fan, but he doesn’t deserve it.

The THING WE SHOULD ALL NOTICE is just how unusual it is to even see a President & VP commenting on Justice Dept business. This never happened before trump. Yet, JD said this: “I can tell you that, unlike the Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI, [we] are going to be driven by law and not by politics”. LIAR

Typical Trumpian bullshit of actually *doing* what you have been falsely accusing everyone else of.

Bolton refused to endorse Harris in 2024. Wonder how he feels now?

if the death walrus is attacked by marmots for being pro rabbit i will not feel sorry for him

Timing?!

he’s such a disgusting human being

I rolled my eyes when he was interviewed by NPR News earlier in the week but this is terrifying

Maybe he should have testified in trumps impeachment 1.0. 🧐

The FBI is completely under Trump’s thumb too. What the fuck are these people doing?

"Just following orders." to the next Holocaust...

Sacrifice yourself.

I still want to see the Epstein list, with only the victims names redacted.

A crime🤷‍♂️

I’ve never cared for John Bolton, but this is obviously a revenge action.

We know it’s vengeance. Will lead to nothing as usual.

Agree. I def do not like John Bolton - but this is nonsense.

Bolton should have had more backbone. He had to know that the diktator would turn on him someday. Another distraction to take the heat off of his lousy presidency.

I regret the authoritarian lurch. He could have done more to oppose Trump when it mattered. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Ask anyone who ever worked with or for this jerk, and it's obvious that while karma may be slow, it catches up eventually.

John Bolton sold his access, contacts and ability to influence policy to the highest bidder. In DC parlance they call that a “consultant.” When the consulting is contracted for a specific foreign national interest, the title shifts to “lobbyist.” That was his job, and all of Washington DC knows it.

I forgot about this Bolton reflects the apathy of the old GOP and how it basically emboldened Trump and his hijacking of the party

Hijacking??? Bullshit This is what they always wanted. Racism and fascism are in the DNA of the GOP. You think he "hijacked" them?... then how TF did they just vote down releasing the Epstein files? This is WHO THEY ARE

At the time of his presidency, George W. Bush made the largest investments into food stamps He also broadened access to affordable prescription drugs with PEPFAR Yes, he was problematic (I loathed him), but I'd take him (and that brand of GOP) over Trump any day of the week

Yes yes we'd all take the people who ushered in the fascism over the actual fascism.... but don't tell me they were different... they just didn't have the cards yet.

“ Hey Mr. Clean, you dirty now too”. Neil Young

He could’ve derailed this train 🤬

Imagine having the power to derail a death train to Birkenau or Auschwitz and choosing not to... as you are on the next train leaving for the camp. That's approximately where Bolton is.

👏👏👏👏👏

He sucks, but due process has to apply to everybody or it applies to nobody

Absolutely 💯

One testifies & lets the evidence show itself whether it's useful or not. One does not decide beforehand. Please....

💯

So Bokton is blaming the democrats for his cowardice? Because he claims they were doing the impeachment wrong? That what they were doing was as bad as trump's actions? Screw that guy.

It would have

Fascist are emboldened by the lack of resistance at the States and local law enforcement agencies

Personal army, personal police force, personal judiciary. I’m sure he will stop at Bolton. 🙄

So now they’ve raided the home of John Bo-RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!!

Thank god

Too bad that Bolton supported the monster, worked for him and helped him get where he is today. Too bad 😡

If only there was some cautionary tale to warn us about giving aid and comfort to a known evil that could bite us in the ass and even kill us...maybe like a rhyme about a snake and an old woman...Gosh, if ONLY someone would have warned us...

Exactly.

Exactly. It’s petty revenge. Trump is a bully child that needs a lesson

That it is Bolton, rather than someone more moderate, ought to finally convince even those who have their heads stuck in concretized sand that we have completed the transformation to an authoritarian state with all typical hallmarks.

Plus they figure Bolton is so odious no one will defend him or care. But that’s a mistake. I think people will and should care. It’s not an endorsement of Bolton who’s got a long problematic history to say they shouldn’t raid his house in political retaliation.

And there'll be less fuss than if it was a major Dem person. Incremental steps? Thin edge of the wedge? 'Interesting' to see who's next and the direction they're going in.

It seems odd to start with him until you realize he refused to shave his mustache for Trump.

I think much of it may also have to do with the statute of limitations s on the charges in re his book being about to run out too.

Hitler went for rivals on the right before anyone else (Night of the Long Knives)

Nope. MAGA says people like Bolton are RINOs. That will be their next excuse. “He’s not coming for us.”

I should have included the disclaimer “besides MAGA,” lol. I wrote Them off long ago.

This will likely compel some more fence sitters to finally wake up but it’s not gonna stop them from doing more of this. There are solutions like a General Strike that nobody with a D next to their name has the stones to put into place.

It really ought to be enough, but of course it won’t

Bolton’s cowardice- not testifying at the orange demon’s impeachment (and saving info for $ making book) - contributed to our current situation. Not a fan. Nonetheless, this is clearly a politically motivated attack on Bolton.

Bolton; Its a flood the zone distraction! The timing suspect. Nothing they have done has suppressed the Epstein files backlash. Patel needs to cover his butt, make amends as he helped open Pandoras Box on Epstein! While opening that file; give us Trumps Health Records! Calling Jake Trapper!

Why do people dislike John Bolton?

Because he deserves it. He was a warmongering Fox News host.

I see it for precisely what it is and yet I remain indifferent to the suffering of John Bolton.

Can confirm

I believe I do see this as another distraction from talking about the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files please.

Trump never should've hired him from the start

rump's entire life is based on crime and vendetta.

support the children of Palestine with any from of basic support for fund raising, For The children of Palestine to empower the company on food and health distribution services in Palestine✊🌏. DM for supporters list or comments for supporters list

They're starting with this person who no one really likes, so no one will be defending him. Until it's someone they like/respect. Then they'll be angry, confused, asking "Why is this happening?" But it'll be too late, 'cause there will be several more coming to set precedent.

Jerome Powell is in the on deck circle

The man constantly complaining about being the victim of a witch hunt is now hunting witches of his own. Completely delusional and demented.

Payback for whom? Did you know that #SCOTUS J. Clarence Thomas was best friends with #JohnBolton at Yale Law?Thomas practically fell to his knees invoking Bolton at a lecture (in a fascist law school I attended as L1). Will Thomas cast protest votes on Court? Voting rights cases = "retribution." Hmm

Harrassment...

FBI Director: "No one is above the law." Translation: "No one is safe in a fascist dictatorship."

Except the fascists closest to the fascist in charge. Jan 6 insurrectionists are pretty happy too.

The night of the long knives.

Supposedly, Bolton "illegally shared or possessed classified information." Isn't this another egregious case of Trump projecting on to another the very crimes he himself carried out (all those TOP SECRET files he removed to Mar-a-Lago...)? And where is that investigation???

Early reports indicate FBI found an unopened gift determined to be a mustache trimmer and a cache of remaindered books signed by the author with cryptic messages like “Epstein didn’t kill himself” and doodles of mushrooms and tacos.

Mushrooms in that context could mean something different in Australia!

Exactly. I am not a fan but the act of retribution is fascism.

If he’s got something on trump I hope he was smart enough to hide it somewhere else.

I can’t believe that America has dropped this far and is becoming a police state.

He couldn’t vote Harris and he knows Trump. Duh

Exactly!! I'm not a fan of Bolton, but what the Felon in Chief is doing is outrageous. Talking about he doesn't know about the raid. Bullshit. Of course he knows. This is his revenge put in action.

Epstein diversion... Release the Epstein files!

True, but you can also see this for what it is and enjoy seeing it happen to John Bolton specifically given just everything he’s done and been a part of.

Defending John Bolton is like lauding Liz Cheney. It makes me feel like I need a shower afterwards.

I don’t like him, but this is authoritarian and it is wrong. There is no place for this in a free country. And I still want someone to release or leak the unredacted Epstein files, let’s see what he’s trying to distract us from.

It’s really a disgrace to the nation - McCarthyism 2025

Well, if they prey on each other long enough, by the time we get our shit together, we will make it look easy!

I would not be at all surprised if the FBI planted incriminating evidence considering what the FBI has become. This is just another example of Trump's "Retribution Phase". There will be many more to come.

Fatwa Sex with a Porn Stasche?

There aren’t seeking to prosecute Bolton. Their only objective is to destroy evidence.

Our Supreme Leader, the King of Revenge and Retribution 👀

You must be emotionally and intellectually dead to carry out a revenge raid, despite it being on the house of a hateful person.

The weaponization of the department of justice. We all knew Trump would do this.

When will they learn.... the only way to win with Trump is to tell him to fuck off.

Bolton could have done more to publicly, adamantly warn about Trump 2.0 BEFORE 2024 election

The brought boxes into his house. That’s a dah

(very funny)

Exactly.

Agree 100%. That’s the problem now… we think of justice and injustice based upon the informational silos we choose to lock ourselves into. Wake up people. Open your eyes and listen and pay attention.

Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein

Exactly

Must. Distract. From. Epstein. bsky.app/profile/opsa... .. revenge is the frosting.

It’s retribution

But, MSM - inc @cnn.com and @msnbc.com - are reporting that it was done under a "court ordered search warrant" based on A STATEMENT FROM THE FBI. You don't think Miracle Ear's FBI , run by a couple of podcasting chuckle heads, would be LYING do you? @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Can see what this is from other people that arnt John Bolton.

The going after important political members of the state is textbook fascism. This is all important.

I hate Bolton!!! But I see what's going on, and it's the Revenge Tour.

Bolton committed the unforgivable sin of criticizing The Criminal. This is where we are now.

trump’s revenge tour!!! Whose next? trump/Epstein files’ will not go away!

When they came for John Bolton, we didn't say anything because we were so busy with our champagne toasts.

Probably a good time for Kash Patel to Google “Yagoda” bsky.app/profile/jeff...

That Bolton is unlikable is the very reason they STARTED with him. So we will look away and say "So what it's only Bolton". Yes I said "started". Because he's only the first. This is blatant corruption, this is the DOJ and FBI doing the dear leader's bidding. This is a purge that won't end.

👆👆 The creep of normalization is what Trump and other reprobates rely on to gradually normalize their actions, from child pageants to sex with children, voting restrictions to disenfranchisement, bullying to silencing critics, emoluments to fraud and corruption, consolidation to dictatorship,...

Exactly this. Bolton is the canary in the coal mine. Regardless of what you think of him, shrug it off at democracy's peril. This is textbook authoritarianism. Bolton is only the first. As Rick Wilson noted, the bayonet will be shoved in until it hits bone.

Absolutely. Like Los Angeles, Bolton's a test balloon. THIS is why the Fulvous Führer ensured that no competent professionals would be in his way THIS time by firing Constitution-loyal Generals, FBI, etc, & replacing them with unqualified lackeys like Hegseth, 25K Pam, Ka$h/Bongina, etc. 🚫guardrails

It's starring us in the face! It's time for patriots to wake up! Confront your elected officials and do it in a respectful manner. As soon as someone starts getting violent, they are going to squash an uprising like a bug!

🎯🎯🎯💯

keeping the right in LINE..as if he loses them.. its over.. exactly what this is.. total BS and for FBI..MILITARY.. etc to go along.. its now to stand up and tell us who you stand WITH..HIM or AMERICA... period.

Exactly.

Everyone knows "what it is". The difference is non-MAGA cultists don't like it while the MAGA cultists are incapable of seeing they could be next.

I DON'T like Bolton but I KNOW this is wrong. And for them to say "no one is above the law." What a bunch of bullsh---.

Without creating a false equivalency, if they can do this to Bolton, they can do this to Obama. I hope we’re all ready to respond appropriately

They don’t have a legal strategy or plan beyond shaming their foes and destroying evidence of their crimes.

They're kicking everyone loyal to the USA out of intelligence, preventing sharing with our allies and lowering every one of our defenses: nuclear, biological, cyber, disaster recovery just getting decimated. They have a plan.

Of course. I was speaking about Bolton specifically.

I'm sure the Democrats will break out their finest thoughts and prayers, as well as tactical memos and exceptionally well crafted sound bites.

Bolton is uniformly despised. President Obama is universally respected. If the world were to unite against Trump, going after President Obama would do it.

I don't despise Bolton. He failed at much but he did some good too.

You are not going to get Bolton out of prison. Worldwide sanctions in support of freeing President Obama would. The world is not going to get behind a free Bolton movement.

WTH is the appropriate response

This is a really good point. Nobody on the left will complain if it’s somebody like Bolton. But once the precedence is set, they will go after liberals.

And to Gavin Newsom.

I doubt Newsom had clearance ever.

Since they're using "to determine whether he illegally shared or possessed classified information" as their reason, I'd worry about Biden being next... ☹️ And, yes, I also hope we're ready to raise hell...

Hmmm 🤔 did Biden even blink when he handed our democracy over to a fascist? Did Biden have the SAME IMMUNITY the fascist he GAVE IT TO HAS? Biden murdered to many women of my mother's era for me to give a shit. He got my vote and shit on it. He saved his family and fed us to the wolves, fk Biden...

Well thought out, reasonable criticism 🙃

Um ok.. that's a take.

Don’t blame Biden for following the law.

Wasn't that what Trump was in trouble for with all those documents in the Maralago bathroom?

Yup...

Obama is protected by the same presidential end run that protects Trump, because Trump insisted on a presidential end run. Fuck John Bolton, you feckless bots.

lol you really think this justice department is sitting around going “damn, if only the Supreme Court hadn’t decided presidents are criminally immune?” No, the process is the punishment - he will force Obama, Clinton, Biden to make their own argument to that effect in court

Fine. Make them do it. Never comply in advance. We know discovery usually makes them run and hide, which is why they are trying to litigate in the court of public opinion first. Do you even understand how statecraft works in 2025?

They’re go to run through the RINOS first, I would guess J6 committee members would be next, just watch. I know it will be tough but the left has to yell against it, don’t be apathetic, defending the Constitution is that period.

They already purged the FBI of agents who investigated Jan 6…as if an agent has any say in the cases they are assigned…

Think bigger; Kinzinger and Cheney

Yeah? What are you going to do if they raid Obamas house?

Same agents that were “weaponized” against Drumpf

Though also leopards, faces..

Yup. I don't and I do!

If they find anything, it will be evidence they put there to trap him.

It’s a giant fucking distraction. Timing is everything.

I hope Bolton sues and the SC is forced to deal with an out-of-control Justice Department.

The Supreme Court has no enforcement mechanism outside of the Department of Justice, so don't count on that one.

John Bolton is one of the biggest assholes ever. But Kash Patel and Donald Trump are two more of the biggest assholes ever, so you know there is nothing even remotely legitimate going on here.

Remember, when comparing assholes to assholes, at least one of those assholes are on OUR side. We need to choose which asshole side to be on! I know it’s confusing, but hang in there, you’ll catch on! You’re smart. You know your assholes! 🤣👊🏻

I promise you, John Bolton is not on our side. Bolton is a racist war monger and prior to Trump's crew was as bad as it got. But that doesn't change a thing about this being retribution. I mean, it's not as if Trump would send the FBI after him for being a racist war monger.

As a racist warmonger, Bolton is several steps up from the current regime. Bolton, at least, believes in Democracy, more or less

I promise I believe U. Bolton cannot be trusted but sometimes we need 2 use people, even if they’re an asshole or not. Any former MAGAt can NEVER BE TRUSTED. What pisses me off is when these MAGAts go to town halls, they let their Republican Representatives THINK THEY ARE JUST FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS!

Lol why would you pick sides between two assholes, that's fucking dumb

Reminds me of the day when James Comey was fired. They picked Bolton for this under the assumption that Dems will object less if the target is despised.

He’s also the first because he refused to shave his mustache and I’m not kidding.

Nah, they just finally found something they could conflate into a crime. I guess he must only have one mortgage.

Every day with this guy. It never ends.

Bolton wielded the harmful gaze of the Trump admin and now that harmful gaze has set itself on Bolton. This is karma. Stop trying to humanize a criminal traitor

Retaliation, intimidation by this admin.

maybe those appeasing trump start to wake up.

We all still remember all the early morning raids happened between 2020 and 2024. Where were you all then ?

Which ones did you feel were politically motivated during 2020 and 2024?

I agree! I didn’t like the fact that Bolton saved all he knew about Trump 1.0, for his book and started criticizing the administration after he left. He never confronted Trump and his sycophants himself, he sent Fiona Hill to try to stop them. I agree with Bolton’s neighbor Trump’s a disgrace!

Bolton is a self-serving prick who threw America under the bus for a measly profit on a book nobody read. No American should have to undergo illegal search & seizure, tho. The 4th amendment say so but not with these fucks in charge.

When you tear down a house while you're still in it, the wreckage falls on your own head.

Gangster Government.

Trump’s revenge tour. Bolton knew it was coming to his doorstep. 1st the immigrants, 2nd Black folks, 3rd and last is everybody else. Trump doesn’t give a damn about MAGA or anybody else. Even the Devil is sick of his racist ass. SOUTH PARK

I want to wait to see whether they have found troves of highly confidential documents. If yes: F*** Bolton AND point out Trump’s hypocrisy. If no: Political weaponization of FBI.

Elect a clown, expect fascism.

They came for John Bolton and we said… meh, yeah I could see that.

Mr. Mossberg time. We did it vs. the Nazis in WWII. The Nazis are in the USA's White House now and in the streets, masked with no id or warrant. I know what to do. Do you?

Sure like to see the testimony the FBI used for getting a warrant.

I was thinking the same thing!

Such regimes begin these types of actions by targeting the unpopular. Once the pattern is established, with popular support, the list gets longer; the targets more daring.

www.newsweek.com/jeffrey-epst...

Agree. It's bittersweet and out of the dictator playbook.

This is just the beginning. I’ve heard George Conway’s name mentioned as a target.

I can testify that that is, indeed, fact.

Yes, but it's relevant not to ask if this will change our view of him, but whether it will change his view of us. His hands are far from clean in creating the context of his own suffering.

No sympathy whatsoever

Oh we know what it is but serves him right!

Exactly. This corrupt regime embodies 'tribalism' over rule of law. Are we a nation of laws or teams? Ideals or tribes? I stand for the rule of law and common ideals. These folks have nothing but 'our team over yours'.

And if they want to hav "fun" they can tear everything apart, furniture etc, and leave the house in ruins while they "search". Then the owner can sue in Federal court. Three to five years later might get reimbursed.

I may not agree with his politics but I do admire his ethics.

A message for everyone. Also trump is never leaving.

To use a widely used, but fairly innocuous UK phrase, “You’re well and truly FUCKED”!!

it does show that they are being methodical in take downs and going after people this term the revenge part of this will be epic

Too true.

Retaliation

Whatever is in the Epstein files must be worse than we can imagine.

Payback AND a distraction from the #EpsteinFiles. An initial tranche was supposed to be given to the House Oversight Committee today. A double win for the #MelonFelon Pedo Of The United States. Don't look there, look at the Bolton raid! www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

🎯🎯🎯 Preamble to arresting Schiff & Jack Smith, Ted Lieu, etc.

Clearly revoking Bolton's security detail didn't scare him away from doing TV interviews. And the Iran didn't touch him. So Trump is escalating the intimidation.

Bolton has been high on Trump's revenge itinerary for a long time.

Bolton has become what the international press would call a "high profile dissident" if the US were regarded as a dictatorship. If he values his life he should shut up or flee the US before the masked men grab him.

Nope. Opposite.

They didn't bother with masks.

Or handcuff himself to the doors of the nearest Fox affiliate.

💯

Trump may be jealous of Bolton's luxurious hair

Never a fan of Bolton but this is truly weaponization of government resources.

The Guardian "The systematic nature of these investigations exposes the fundamental contradiction in the administration’s approach. Officials claim to be combating the “weaponization” of justice while at the same time weaponizing it against a pre-compiled list of critics.'

Absolutely..

And I don't care... lock his ass up. John Bolton played anyone and everyone, and now he's getting played. Boo hoo. It won't distract the the Pedo in Chief.

I doubt that.

Yes it's the second-time-as-farce replay of the Night Of The Long Knives.

#1 is above the law

Release the Epstein files!

How dare Trump stoop to this level. John Bolton is a national treasure!

Some people are so badly afflicted with TDS that they reflexively oppose every action taken by the Trump regime. Even arresting notorious criminal mass murderer and supreme warmonger John Bolton.

Yeah and who did Bolton do those crimes under? Other Republicans including Trump.

Muting overly-talkative TDS victim ilikecheese. Highly recommend that victim of totalitarian brainwashing take a media fast to recover mental health.

Oh cool so you're just a bitch who can't handle criticism.

We are now officially a Banana Republic.

I agree . Retribution. A waste of our money

support the children of Palestine with any from of basic support for fund raising, For The children of Palestine to empower the company on food and health distribution services in Palestine✊🌏. DM for supporters list or comments for supporters list

And then they came for John Bolton, and I did not speak out because…. 🫤

Yep, voted for the “Tigers eat my face” party.

John Bolton was chosen specifically because he has alienated MAGA and Democrats are not inclined to like him. These are the wedge cases that Fascists find. Soon all of us can have our homes searched because we dare question the dear leader. It's already bad enough that he lashes out verbally

Pure revenge. Disgusting

The enemies list is long.

They are building big encampments…

Millions long

Extremely bad. I hope Bolton goes full nasty after this. I know he didn't tell everything that went on in his book

Absolute intimidation

And you didn’t need a genius IQ to see that voting for Dwight Eisenhower wasn’t the best choice for preventing this.

He’s actually one of the best examples of this, in fact

Agree!

That' correct. Bolton is a POS that CHOSE to serve Trump for a year and a half. Trump absolutely showed everybody who he is, and Bolton still chose to suck the orange cock. Still, it's OBVIOUS what this is...but FAFO.

The HYPOCRISY again knows no limits! This is the guy that talked about Biden "weaponizing" the government.

Better a guilty party escape justice than an innocent party be punished, and Trump has hurt many more innocents than assholes. No sympathy for Bolton, but I'd much prefer we lived in a world where the President couldn't abuse the power of the office.

Right on

As Trump liked to call them- It’s a Witch Hunt. “That will teach them not to be nasty to me” “Was I a good boy Vlady, er I mean Daddy”

Bolton deserves to be hung

Shake down! This is crazy!!!

That's kind of the point: just cuz an official dislikes someone doesn't mean they can use the mechanisms and functions of the state to torment them.

Republican; new race of incestuous cannibals. REPUBLICANS EAT EACH OTHER!

Yes, it is blindingly obvious!

Distraction by Retribution On a Friday FBI raids Bolton's bathroom and search for secrets. After finally releasing an itty bitty tiny fraction of the Epstein Files to Congress. What/who is next??

This should be even more alarming to all watching. That this fascist regime has reached the “night of the long knives” chapter. #ThisIsFascism #BastilleDayUSA✊🏽🌹

We aren't people who go after people we dislike illegally, so no, we don't like this.

I don't, and I do. #FuckAuthoritarianism

Tyrannical addled mind ordered to harass a citizen

SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT AND YOU GET THE FBI OR WORSE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR!!

Stevie Wonder could see this for what it is ..

She's just doing clean up work left unfinished, in the first DJT admin, of capitulators that led to Jan 6th. Bondi better take note as her time is coming!

We’ve heard on a couple of podcasts so far, about referrals recommending Bondi’s disbarment. She’s violated her oath several times over, needs to serve time for the crimes she continues to commit every single day.

Damn straight!

Release the Epstein Files!!!

A sound and rationale lefty should "like" the very last sound and rationale rightwingers as far as she understands that she literally needs them. With tea party/ MAGA and beyond, there is no more communication.

Exactly. I’ve got no sympathy for him, and I want every person involved brought to justice.

This can happen to anyone, everyone should be afraid, very afraid. Full revenge presidency and prosecution of perceived political enemies, critics and people who tell inconvenient truth are here.

Yup. I bet Bolton Bolts from the U.S. I don't blame him

The worst economic president of our lifetimes is intentionally destroying the economy.

Everything they do is to intimidate.

I hope they didn't find any Lemon Pound Cake

Cost the country money that could go for MAGAts old ppl who they will soon be responsible for taking care of, when the hospitals and nursing homes all close!

I would like to see the warrant that sycophant bug eyes gave the Judge who allowed this...The lies and propaganda must be a 10 on the Richter scale of bullshit, as everything these losers do!

There is nothing worse than a egomaniac with a obvious mental disease, surrounded by a bunch of yes men that know less than him.

I never imagined I’d be willing to contribute to a defense fund for John Bolton.

Dem leadership should be front and center calling this out for what it is and what this type of activity leads to. I don't like Bolton but I hate this administration. We live in a fucked up time where the press doesn't report on anything of consequence unless there some action video to go with it

They came for John Bolton, and I said nothing because I was not John Bolton

They came for John Bolton, and I was outraged. But I did nothing because I remembered that John Bolton refused to testify when he should have.

“First they came for…” and I DID NOT speak out…” “Then they came for me…… “

Didn't Bolton admit he voted for the sociopath st least twice? So he voted for someone who let people die from covid. F**K Bolten. Glad he's finally arrived at his FAFO moment. That is all.

They want to make the lives of anyone who dares challenge and criticizes Trump's actions as miserable as possible. They want to cause their critics into bankrupcy if possible with legal bills for bogus charges.

💯

I dislike him very much. This is weaponization of government.

Our country has no DOJ right now. What we have is the biggest law enforcement agency in the world doing the bidding of one person.

100000%

My working assumption is that as an attorney, a high official, and a security advisor, John Bolton is probably expert in the handling of classified material, and punctilious in his compliance. Unlike Donald Trump.

In fact, you can actually *execrate* John Bolton and *still* see this for what it is…

Good word. Yes

I thought he has the Epstein files.

I do not and I do.

I am now calling this "the revenge regime." What do you think?

I already call it a regime, not an administration. Administrations are for democratic republics, not autocratic ones. I also think of this as the Fourth Reich.

Good one.

Indeed the Venn diagram of those disliking John Bolton and those seeing this as animus and vengeance closely resembles an unrolled condom. NYT just now:

I hope John Bolton has the 'original Epstein docs' hidden in a good place, so he'll be able to use them for his new book, "The 'Doctored Epstein Files of Trump World."

I don't like Bolton but I like fascism even less. I am opposed to raiding peoples homes for no reason at all. This is where we are going.

This where you ARE…. ftfy 🙂

While I have long disagreed with John Bolton politically, it is clear that “Little Donnie” is flexing his muscles to silence a political opponent. This should scare the hell out of everyone. We know Trump is the most morally damaged man to ever be elected President. He proves it every day.

There are no guardrails this time around. No one to keep him in check. He has his loyalists ready and eager to do his bidding.

King Jeoffrey.

My antipathy towards Bolton stems from his long-standing foreign policy views, his disrespect for international institutions, his role in the controversial Iraq War, most of which was, and is, self-serving! THEN, his decision not to testify in the impeachment proceedings against trump.

Normalizing political criminalization of regime enemies means you are just as at risk. Bolton can be in the FO stage, but I'd prefer to not be included too

Yes, I know...and of course you're right! Give me a minute to enjoy the trash taking itself out and the snakes eating one another. Live by the sword, die by the sword..

He enabled this! Don't clean the shit from his bed, he made the mess, now let him lay down in it.

I think the US might have reached the point of no return. Russia has captured your country.

Fuck Bolton 🤬 I hope he suffers along with us… He could have derailed this hell train. But no!

That’s why they picked him. Nobody will support him, on the Right or the Left. Maybe next is Lynn Cheney, or James Comey. By the time they come for Obama, or Hillary, they will have a long list of precedents of right-wing critics.

My $ is on Comey 😎🍿

I feel we must stand with and defend Bolton, Comey, and any other target of turmp’s weaponization of the federal government.

Fannie Willis should leave the country until this is over… Leticia James is actively on the hit list

Even if they don’t deserve it? I just can’t! So many people could have derailed this, including them 🙄 Uggggggggggggggg

Well in his defense he did have to write a book. @jaketapper.bsky.social understands.

😂👏

First they came for the imperialist neocons, and I did not speak out, for I was not an imperialist neocon

Pure political retribution.

Screaming their weaponizing the government from trump and his campaign for four years was the warning shot.
