Wasn't Bolton one of the ones who told us to stop overreacting, there were plenty of adults in the room? We said they wouldn't be there forever and he ignored us.

Where are the adults now, Bolton?

    Interesting. The Purges are starting from the inside, this time.

    It took Hitler 1 year to get there. And he had already hunted down the opposition.

    Trump has been there for 7 months and hasn't sent any prominent members of the opposition to jail AFAIK.

    There were plenty in the first term. Remember The Mooch lasting just a few days?

    In the short term sure, but they keep going and replacing anyone competent with yes men.

    Bolton has been to the "outside" of Trump for some time. This is a case of the administration going after enemies.

    Some of these comments. Damn. Do y'all not understand that Trump and Bolton have been at each other's throat for quite some time?

    This isn't face eating, this is a clear attack on a political enemy. That's the takeaway, and you should be chilled to the bone.

    It may be important for people to learn that the Nazi party was originally a socialist coalition party until Hitler and his ilk expelled or murdered the people they didn't agree with. This is identical.

    Sure, but this guy is a total clown so at least we have that.

    I'm European so we're doing our thing over here instead, not perfect but not yet that bad (except if you're in the UK, God save the sanity over there).

    Good luck though!

    We have all known this forever. Muricans did nothing when children with cancer were deported, bo you really expect a reaction here?

    What are the odds one of these former Trump advisors held on to a little bit of insurance for re-retaliation?

    God I hope someone thought that far ahead.

    Is that not what the FBI was raiding his house to look for?

    The raids are part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC.

    The probe is eyeing multiple instances of the use of classified documents in leaks to the news media. The investigation began during the Biden administration, but did not go further before President Joe Biden left office in January.
