You know what would be really funny? If he had sought political asylum in China
@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net what is the public opinion on John Bolton in China? If I had to guess most do not even know his name and opinions…
Gotta wonder how working for trump feels seeing this. Great career prospects.
Then again, if you got there in the first place you’d have to be the kind of person that thinks bad things only happen to other people and they always deserve it.
LAAAAAAAAAME
i wanted to see the walrus speeding down a highway at least.
Balcony shootout was the dream
Killdozer with a giant mustache on the front
Why must you make me yearn for something that will never be
Was he awarded any fish for doing so?
While many here celebrate this, and I do not want to take away from this at all… I call to caution - lets not be naive, this kind of trial will be used to consolidate power further in the right wing Republican realm.
The US is now effectively run by a junta. The whole using the state’s legal machinery to kneecap your political rivals thing is a core feature of such a political environment. Amusingly, Russiagate and the subsequent lawfare to get Trump off the ballot set a massive precedent. The Democrats opened a Pandora’s box, and now the Republicans have the box, they’ve learned how to use everything inside it, and they’re not being shy about it. Now, if your side loses power then you might end up at a kangaroo court in the defendant’s chair. So, the party in power has every incentive to weaponize the courts and the bureaucracy because they know the other side will absolutely do the same to them if they get a turn.
And the Dems managed to set that precedent without actually managing to put Trump behind bars for his many actual crimes, or even managing to get him off the ballot.
Same as their big pro-cop, anti-immigrant push, they move right to appear “tough” by building tools of oppression that of course can be used by all later governments and are never scrapped. And of course it’s not just to appear tough, it is also left-punching and friendly to their bourgeois interests.
lol yeah
so bond denied right??!? make him sit in a cell. there are few that truly deserve it and he is one of them
I bet he was still happy after Trump ordered the bombing of Irans nuclear facilities and Tehran.
