Thanks for all of the comments...I do believe that Republicans who continues to speak out despite being targeted by the administration deserve to be called brave.

Agree. He may be a lunatic warmonger, but he's got a backbone!

Also, Anne, why aren't we talking more about #Project2025? It seems to me they're in full swing executing it.

I absolutely agree, even if I generally oppose most of what Bolton otherwise believes.

I poured through this before Alaska to prepare myself. I wasn't aware that publicly disagreeing with Chamberlain was a career ender for Tories and that they formed clubs so they could share their honest opinions.

True, since they are a bigger target, particularly anyone that was once employed by Trump.

Nope. Not after enabling the psychotic toddler for 4 years. They are making money and trying to save their careers. Self-serving as always.

Bolton made his bed. Now we’re all suffering from his cowardice. He is transparent in his complicity, no matter how clever he thinks he is. Fuck him.

GENUINE conservatives were some of the first to be assassinated by Hitler in the Night of the Long Knives. True conservatism is a last bulwark against fascism. ANY genuine conservative (not talking rw reactionaries or broligarchy here) is at risk if he/she speaks out when fascism is on the rise.

They covered for him for four years and only spoke out when they thought they could safely monetize it all. They are not "bulwarks". They are greedy cowards.

Those who are in the inner circle of evil and dare to speak out against that evil however minutely it may seem are taking brave actions.

I’m conflicted. I condemn the retributive use of LE against a citizen. That said, John Bolton made a career out of common cause with face-eating leopards and now he is getting his face eaten. Karma. Zero sympathy for Bolton Being a shitty human eventually comes for you

They are, evidently, the ones the fascist regime will go after first. They will always start with the ones the majority will care the least about.

He refused to endorse Vice President Harris He planned on "writing in" Dick Cheney He changed his mind when Cheney endorsed VP Harris. He's ambitious and arrogant. He tellingly never directly opposed Trump. He is not brave and not a hero.

Liz C and Adam K should be checking into pied a terres in Quebec or Toronto.... noting Tim Snyder and his spouse got out already. It's the Spite Administration.

#Bolton is no hero. But this isn't about Bolton. It's about Trump weaponizing the DOJ to seek retribution on his political enemies. He started with Bolton bc everyone hates him. So we focus on Bolton and not trump's unlawful DOJ weaponization. J6 committee & those who brought endictments are next.

When he knew Trump well enough to know Trump was capable of this I tend to agree that as intensely as I dislike Bolton, continuing to speak up was brave.

If Trump would have gone along with his plans vis a vis Iran in the first term, we wouldn't be even talking about this because Bolton wouldn't be in opposition. He's an opportunist, not a man of principle. There's no need to double down, Ann.

I don't see where Bolton was courageous in the face of fear. He was seemingly oblivious to the risk he took in publishing his book nor was he brave in seeking payment rather than testifying. Had he thought he was at risk, I'm not sure he'd have taken any steps that could be seen as defiant.
