Here’s a bit: > [@Irishman](#): > > 1. Pulled Secret Sevice protection for John Bolton. Hey, I’m not a huge Bolton fan, but he served our country at the request of the numbskull in chief, and he has had serious death threats from enemy countries, notably Iran. … Note that Bolton has been targeted by Iran _BECAUSE HE DID EXACTLY WHAT TRUMP ASKED HIM TO DO_, namely: exterminate Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Mike Pompeo and aide Brian Hooke are targeted by Iran for the same reason, and Trump has revoked their protection details, too. Some were puzzled by the latter two being put on Trump’s ‘please assassinate these guys’ list, as they had not spoken out against him. (Bolton had done so though he’d declined to go as far as to endorse Harris.) But there’s something else behind Donald’s malice: > [@](#): > > … Trump also used an executive order to revoke “any active or current security clearances” held by 51 former intelligence officials, including Bolton, who signed a letter in 2020 casting doubt on the provenance of the Hunter Biden laptop story. > “Signatories of the letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” the executive order reads. > Included in the list are former National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper Jr., former Central Intelligence Agency Directors Michael Hayden and John Brennan and former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. … So, ‘these guys said that the help I got from Russia was help from Russia!!!’ is the particular outrage here. (The ‘help from Russia’ part is the Alexander Smirnov involvement; see bottom of this post for a citation.) > **[Full list of people who Donald Trump revoked security details for](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-people-donald-trump-revoked-security-details-2020601)** > > Dr. Anthony Fauci is the latest ex-aide to lose government protection, reflecting Trump's early moves against perceived adversaries.

Using military planes to deport the people rounded up in his immigrant raids. Turns out that Colombia said “no” to Donald’s relocation program----so in retaliation, Donald has hit that nation with an “emergency 25% tariff.” So now coffee prices (among other things) will be jumping up. Put that together with this week’s rise in egg prices, and it would appear that Americans are simply going to have to skip breakfast from now on.

From the first time I encountered him, I thought, _there is something wrong with this guy – the material probably has substance to it, but his entire presentation sounds all CT._ The Rs have shown themselves, repeatedly, to be criminals. It is the Fuck-the-Law Party. So, as long as we play out the leash, this shit will only get worse, and looking the other way is not an answer. We do not want to go there, but somebody will have to or we are just done. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > The Rs have shown themselves, repeatedly, to be criminals. It is the Fuck-the-Law Party. Slight disagreement. The Republican’s are all about the trope of Laws that Protect, but do not bind themselves, and enforcing Laws that do not protect but DO bind on others. Lawful Evil at it’s absolute worst. So it’s totally okay for someone on “their” side to have, as a not-random example, dozens of spurious appeals and delays, but if someone gets convicted due to prosecutor misconduct and a court-assigned defender “it’s all an inevitable part of justice”. So, for Lawful Evil, the emphasis is on Evil (or supreme selfishness to the extent that they even differ) with Law as the tool. ---

Sheeeit, that’s just recent stuff in the list. There is all of course years and years of fraud and conning people out of money, and of course all the rape. Not to take a back seat - - Extortion - Insurrection - Espionage Those last three = treason. Yeah, yeah, people will nit-pick about what the constitution says. But it’s treason through and through. He extorted friendly countries for his own and a hostile countries benefit. He tried to overthrow the government for god sake. Nobody knows who has ahold of those documents, but I bet it turned the state department and many operatives on their head. All so he can make a buck or boost his ego. ---
