DEVELOPING: FBI Raids John Bolton’s House
In a dawn operation, FBI agents descended on the home of Trump’s former national security advisor.
(Yup, Trump has got the FBI working on his enemies list. We're only 3-12 months away from the show trials starting. (I think they'll be timed for maximum distraction potential—likely around the November 2026 mid-term elections.))

USA today is moving exactly like Russia in the early 2000’s.
ironic: John Bolton was one of the young assistants to the OG fascist coup of 1980; most specifically, #IranContrsgate. but the fascists have all but managed to whitewash it off school history books and branded it as the Reagan-Bush “revolution”.
I'm really torn here @cstross as John Bolton has been around since Dubya's boogaloo in the Iraqui desert. He's a #neocon dirt bag who lied to the public when it was convinent to make Haliburton a shit-ton of federal contract moneys back in the 00's. It's only in the past election cycle that Bolton grew a spine.
On the one hand, we can't afford to loose the few R's willing to stand up to Trump's (ruZZian) blueprint for America. On the other hand, he's no patriot and just as much of a war profiteer as Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld. Best case scenario, Bolton outs a bunch of the Republicans Trump is holding in place with kompromat. The entire party has been in lock step with ruZZia since the DNC/RNC hacks 7 years ago.
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me:
There lie they, and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree
Reminded me of old Politburo photos of Stalin with members of his cabinet, and one by one, they were photoshopped out of the picture.
Trump is probing his dictatorship…
And yes, you might be right wrt the midterms, already manipulation is going on.
Guess he plans to win the mid terms with 95% of the votes.
Of course this is adds more grease to the slide towards, effectively, irreversible fascism.
But, also, Bolton is the sort of arrogant midwit that keeps troves of classified information in color-coded Pendaflex folders at home. Seems likely he's fucked. He, and any Republican he's ever had lunch with.
Will the BOP shave his Yosemite Sam stash?
And of course we get to see the brazen chutzpah of #DonaldJTrump accusing someone else of hoarding classified documents.
True, but the hypocrisy and self-contradiction is interesting. #DonaldJTrump went after Bolton's book on the grounds that every conversation with the POTUS is classified, but this is the same Trump that says that he can declassify things in his head and has declassified a bigly amount of stuff that way so it's alright to hoard documents.
I wonder whether the current bunch are so stupid that they've never cracked a history book to see what happens to them soon.
Well, on one hand, it's John Bolton.
On the other hand... Yup, show trials.
I hope the Obama and Biden families have airplanes ready.
Clinton and Harris are more likely targets.
I actually would think that he would go after Obama first. He’s a black male and we cannot forget the underlying rage that many Americans quite rightfully feel by his betrayal of them to Wall Street in 2008.
He invested so much into vilifying Clinton, so it seems tempting for his supporters, it’s great optics.
It is 2025 crowd and that lot that I think will go after officials actively opposing them.
