        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.

          Bolton became his opposition after Trump’s first term. They aren’t going straight to executions, but they are starting to take action on the dissenters.

        Or how it consolidates under a more unified ideology. E.g. the Nazis purging the SA during the Night of the Long Knives.

            Depending on what example you’re looking at, that “short-term” can be anywhere from years to decades.

      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.

        I hate Bolton’s politics as much as the next guy, but he’s no dipshit. I so hoped he would bring sanity to the first Trump administration, and that’s why he got fired.

    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?

    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.

      Bad stuff comes out about Trump all the time, and it bounces right off. People already know he’s awful, and half the country likes it that way.

    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.
