Charging Bolton with... *squints* ARE YOU FUCKIN SERIOUS?!

Get the FUCK out of here.

emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 8h

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

So Netanyahu called him somewhere between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning in Israel to say "everyone likes me now because of you?"

Trump: "I spoke to Bibi Netanyahu just a little while ago. He called, he said, 'I can't believe it. Everybody is liking me now,' meaning him. I said, 'more importantly they are loving Israel again.'"

I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

On one hand, they're too chickenshit to enter Philly.

On the other, they're bold enough to outright insinuate future extrajudicial killings of American citizens.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.
