I mean, it's still an abuse of power and a violation of the constitution, even if the victim is a piece of shit.

That’s the plot. They go after people that are disliked first so the protests are irrelevant and start to normalize such acts. You’re being played!

Hardly. I've been waiting for this since Gee Dubz.

He was an advocate of the Iraq War as a Director of the Project for the New American Century, which favored going to war with Iraq.

Fucker got a lot of people killed and thought he could suck trumps butthole for more power. STAY DOWN, BITCH.

Stopped clock and that.

They are not going after him for his role in the Iraq war (they would probably even give him a medal for it) - they are going after him for opposing and criticizing Trump.

Meh. I’ll take it.

Yes. You have to get used to defending people you hate from the nightmare, because everyone is somebody someone hates. We stand up for the beggars and the prostitutes, and yes we even stand up for the John Boltons. We all are going to have to fight together against the real end of light. Even the dickheads. And then, once the end has been pushed back a little until next time, we can go back to treating them as dickheads.

(Especially since Bolton jumped the gun, and somehow started acting like a decent and courageous person a tiny bit by being super-vocal against Trump way before it was cool for people in government to do so. The New York Times was still slobbering Trump's dick years after Bolton started calling him out, and I don't think the New York Times should be raided by ICE and destroyed either.)
