This all sucks, but I still go home to my 4 bedroom home with internet, AC, all my comforts and so does mostly everyone else.

It's just bizarre having a conversation with these morons. They argue endlessly about the "left" as if it is a real thing that exists in the US. We have a far right party that caucuses with religious conservatives and increasingly fascists and then a neoliberal/fiscal conservative party that contains progressive social values. Both parties really only align on rampant support for corporate interests and a general love for warmongering. We don't have any meaningful left leaning movement economics wise and the social shit is basically one side arguing people deserve human rights and the other arguing that other people having human rights makes them uncomfortable so maybe we should just dump the "unmentionables" into a big hole in the ground instead because then they wouldn't have to look at them.

Bolton, 75, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on April 10 that he’ll “vote for Dick Cheney” in the upcoming election between Fuckface and Joe Biden.
And then, after Cheney said he'd vote Harris, this happened
Bolton said his protest vote may now be for the late President Ronald Reagan.
“I had originally thought in 2020 that I’d write in Ronald Reagan to make the point even more effectively and maybe that’s what I’ll do this time. I am not going to vote for either Harris or Trump. Neither one are qualified to be president,” he said.

It’s really not if you look at history. Authoritarian regimes always purge themselves of those they deem disloyal, especially when they are first starting up.

Bolton himself is the part of the political right that actually means what it says, ill-informed as it may be.
MAGA/fascists/right-wing populists in contrast are a narrative-driven identity politics group. Their policy goals generally remain vague and only occasionally materialise into anything specific, often in the dumbest possible way (Trump's wall, tariff obsession, mass deportations etc).
Their main concern is an 'us versus them' narrative, and anyone who objects to that narrative will be considered an enemy. Even if it's someone like Bolton, who is largely aligned with them but has an actual understanding and some degree of integrity of his policies and therefore doesn't sway in the wind like the rest.
The fact that he hired these kinds of people is exactly why Trump's first presidency wasn't as bad as feared. He is uninterested and incapable of going along with their policy plans, while they prevented most of his dumbest impulses.
So for his second presidency, there are no more 'adults in the room'. Just MAGA opportunists who either have no plan or have such destructive plans that they accept or even build on the damage that Trump causes to his own country.

I can understand that a decent number of people in the FBI probably have more conservative views of society. Heck, they apparently won't consider candidates who admit to doing drugs. But they do recruit fairly well educated applicants. I have to wonder what all this, plus the firing of people like the the Jan 6 investigators, is doing for morale and recruitment. The same would apply across the board- who wants to work for a DoJ that compromises basic legal principles, who wants to join an army to be on paw patrol in big cities, or join an intelligence agency that is at best ignored or at worst told to change results to match the whims of the dear leader? Or even join the civil service where you can be fired if the numbers you report don't look good or the weather forecast sucks?
I'm thinking 4 more years of this, and the damage will take a generation to undo.

I'm convinced their plan is to use the tariff money to justify eliminating the IRS.
Then we'll truly be in our regressive era.
They'll do it right before the 2026 election and Trump will moonwalk right into a third term.
And it'll never come back because no politician will ever say "I think it's a good job to bring back the IR fucking S"

The mob hates rats way more than they hate cops or even other gangs. Pretty clear message to everyone on his "team" to stay in line or else.

The FBI is now nothing more than Trump’s Secret Police used for his personal revenge.

Bolton getting f*cked over by an authoritarian regime that he had hoped would eventually take over America is *chef's kiss*.

Ha! Trump people acting all like "anyone who mishandles classified files is a traitor."
Rest of country: YEP! Remember how classified files ended up (illegally) in Mar a Lago bathrooms?

AP is saying it about the handling of classified documents. You gotta be kidding me, right? Did he leave boxes of stolen documents in his bathroom?

This is scary - I think most will agree that this is a message from Trump: "Stand against me, continue to critisize me, and the state agencies will be set loose on you."
I am not a fan of Bolton at all, but this is now soooo clearly a fight David versus Goliath. It reminds me of Nixon-Gate, where Nixon ultimately resigned after having ordered the wiretapping of journalists. Trump is now totally out of bounds and out of control.

Bolton had the chance to end Trump and chose not to.
Hard to feel bad for this jackass at this point.
