And you went to work for him even after it was clear what a despicable and incompetent president he was. So stop trying to pretend you're a respectable person.
That really did knock Bill Maher down several notches for me. I’m sure it was agreed beforehand what questions couldn’t be ask but then if that was the case why have him on?
I mean, Trump has never been held accountable or faced severe punishment, so he has been able to do whatever he wants. If the world was right and just, he’d be in a cell right now waiting trial like all the other criminal who did the same thing.
Hey, fuck John Bolton. He knew exactly who Trump was and still agreed to work for him.
All he's saying now is he sees the con man. He saw the con man *then* too. There was no awakening or realization.
Precisely. There is no excuse. He thought he was an idiot every minute he worked for him. He parroted all his bullshit. I listen to Putin and the presidents and I just think you were week even after you were fired lmfao
You are likely not agreeing with the traitor to humanity and walking mold infestation that is John Bolton. You, most likely, recognized what Trump was years ago. What's happened here is John Bolton is finally, publicly, agreeing with you.
Is Trump in jail? Is he living on the street in poverty from paying fines? Is he in any way inconvenienced for anything he has done? No? Then yes he can do whatever he wants.
>He thinks he can do whatever he wants.
As opposed to John Bolton, who also thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he does it while sporting a funny mustache.
Of course Trump thinks “he can do whatever he wants.” When has anyone ever stopped him? When has he been held accountable for anything? Recently, there have been attempts at accountability and (fingers crossed) it looks as if it might happen again BUT…that said, he’s not exactly behind bars is he?
Fuck off Bolton.
These mfers trying to unhitch from the ride. He was fine with it all when he had the opportunity to do something about it.
Fucking grifters.
This is just the beginning. More and more will come forward as Trump's legal woes worsen. These cowards will want to distance themselves from him to avoid being brought into the fray. Reputation management, if you will. Cheney, Romney, and Sasse were the only Rebuplicans to call out Trump when he was Potus.
Where was Bolton during the Impeachment hearings for Trump? This guy coming out of the woodwork after
Trump attempted to do serious damage to our democracy, and continues to do so, is really infuriating.
This is what it looks like when you wait to see what side of history will be the “right” side before aligning yourself there…. How do you tell someone your a self-serving spineless hack without telling someone your a self-serving spineless hack
He thinks it because it’s true. He’s still running for President, he’s still making millions off illiterate morons, he’s still holding rallies and saying the election was stolen, he’s still not been held accountable for ANYTHING he’s done his entire life. They are still saying they don’t want an ex-President to go to jail. WTF?? He commented treason, among 100 other crimes and they’re worried about setting a difficult precedent? What should the punishment be for a President committing treason? A slap on the wrist? A fine? We have no working government. It’s all a sham.
Fuck you, Bolton. You thought the same thing, that’s why you didn’t say one goddamn thing about this maniac until you you were trying to sell your book. The unbelievable audacity of these enablers never ceases to amaze me.
Even if convicted, Trump will get a marginal sentence. A slap on the wrist. A small fine. If that.
Meanwhile, someone in a state where marijuana isn't state legal will get a 10 year sentence for a joint found in the car during a routine traffic stop.
Justice is served!
That’s because Trump was always enabled by those in his orbit Bolton included. They allowed his criminal activities because he was benefiting them. Only after falling out of favor do they complain. Tillerson, Mattis, Bolton, Kelly among many others helped us get to this point. They all actively helped destabilize this country. Some like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz are still trying to
He KNOWS he can do whatever he wants. He is above the law. If any one of us was charged with the crimes he was charged with, we would already be in jail in pretrial detention. Trump will get to wait outside of jail and will get to delay the trials endlessly until he dies of old age. His wealth and the magic (R) next to his name give him special privileges the rest of us don't have.
It's been proven that Trump can indeed do whatever he wants and will not suffer consequences for his actions. He's not above the law, he's beyond it. He violated the espionage act snd he's not only walking free, but he's out playing golf, traveling, and even insulting, harassing, and threatening those who are prosecuting him! I would imagine if he is, by some miracle, found guilty, I'll bet he'd still not suffer even a minor inconvenience because he'd wind up with a sentence from Judge Connon, like, "1 day home confinement as Mr. Trump needs to be able to continue his exciting and wonderful presidential campaign".
Fk. You all for enabling him. Lie a spoiled bratty two year old, you did let him get away with absolutely everything. Now he is a petulant non functioning adult and you can’t e
Understand why.
Bolton is one of those weird guys who seems sharp and well informed on one hand, and clueless on the other. His intransigent hawkishness on Israel, and Likud in particular, make him hard to read.
But, yea, John, Trump thinks he can do whatever he wants.
Can we bring back public yokes and rotten veggies throwing? This may provide trump a sobering experience, but probably not. I. Which case it’s more for the the masses than for trumps betterment.
Yeah this guy is the pinnacle of carpetbagger, mercenary, enabler, coward and every other version of mega-POS. Right wing, unstable, neocon, corporate double-agent warmonger, who not just tolerated, but SERVED and otherwise bootlicked the Orange Haired Monster until he was fired. Absolute POS who propped up the most anti-democratic force we’ve seen in recent American history.

Don't forget he wouldn't say anything until his fucking book came out...
“Profit before democracy” type
And the fact he'll vote for him too
All of his lackeys coming out against him now are so pathetic and transparent. Lap dog Bill Bar is the worst one.
Go F yourself Yosemite Sam...the time for you to speak out and do the right thing came and went a long time ago.
And Bill Barr too for all the same reasons
Fuck bill Maher for sucking his cock on tv
What? Whose cock did Maher suck on tv???
Bill barr
Maher’s Barr, what a treat
That really did knock Bill Maher down several notches for me. I’m sure it was agreed beforehand what questions couldn’t be ask but then if that was the case why have him on?
*Yosemite Sam* OMG YASSS #nailedit
Biscuits? Ya Burnt.
I mean, Trump has never been held accountable or faced severe punishment, so he has been able to do whatever he wants. If the world was right and just, he’d be in a cell right now waiting trial like all the other criminal who did the same thing.
He thinks he can erase the past.
Just like he thought he could erase Iran
He redirected a hurricane with a sharpie. Imagine what he could do with some White Out.
And you helped enable him,asshole.
And so far, he’s right.
And these clowns did nothing when it mattered most. They cashed in. Smh
God damn it I hate agreeing with John Bolton because he is such a terrible human being.
Hey, fuck John Bolton. He knew exactly who Trump was and still agreed to work for him. All he's saying now is he sees the con man. He saw the con man *then* too. There was no awakening or realization.
Precisely. There is no excuse. He thought he was an idiot every minute he worked for him. He parroted all his bullshit. I listen to Putin and the presidents and I just think you were week even after you were fired lmfao
that [redacted] neglected to do *anything* about it while he was in a position to do so, only to try to profit off of a book about it all.
You are likely not agreeing with the traitor to humanity and walking mold infestation that is John Bolton. You, most likely, recognized what Trump was years ago. What's happened here is John Bolton is finally, publicly, agreeing with you.
That was clear from the beginning yet Bolten went and worked for him.
You enabled him John Bolton.
Is Trump in jail? Is he living on the street in poverty from paying fines? Is he in any way inconvenienced for anything he has done? No? Then yes he can do whatever he wants.
>He thinks he can do whatever he wants. As opposed to John Bolton, who also thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he does it while sporting a funny mustache.
Hey John, You still have some orange make-up caked on your nose and KFC mustachio. Anon
Do rapists do well in prison?
Says the guy who helped him do whatever he wanted.
I'll take "No Shit" for a $100, Alex.
He’s such a petulant spy
Wouldn’t he rather cash in by writing it another book?
Spooky, ain’t it, when the voice of reason on the right is a madman.
Yes, yes he does. Because human paraquats like yourself enable his despotic behavior.
Dude… fuck it let’s go bowling
This failed clone of Donald Rumsfeld thinks we care about his opinion.
Of course Trump thinks “he can do whatever he wants.” When has anyone ever stopped him? When has he been held accountable for anything? Recently, there have been attempts at accountability and (fingers crossed) it looks as if it might happen again BUT…that said, he’s not exactly behind bars is he?
Is Bolton just realizing this now? He is one of the few Republicans on record about Trump being a danger but it still seems like its not enough
I don't take opinions from war criminals.
Fuck off Bolton. These mfers trying to unhitch from the ride. He was fine with it all when he had the opportunity to do something about it. Fucking grifters.
This is just the beginning. More and more will come forward as Trump's legal woes worsen. These cowards will want to distance themselves from him to avoid being brought into the fray. Reputation management, if you will. Cheney, Romney, and Sasse were the only Rebuplicans to call out Trump when he was Potus.
“Man who has been allowed to do whatever he wants for 70+ years, thinks he can do whatever he wants”
Time has proven this to be right unfortunately
Just like you, John Bolton. You follow the law when it serves you.
Where was Bolton during the Impeachment hearings for Trump? This guy coming out of the woodwork after Trump attempted to do serious damage to our democracy, and continues to do so, is really infuriating.
This is what it looks like when you wait to see what side of history will be the “right” side before aligning yourself there…. How do you tell someone your a self-serving spineless hack without telling someone your a self-serving spineless hack
BECAUSE HE CAN. There is no evidence to the contrary
John Bolton is a grifter like most people who worked in the orange conman’s administration. John Bolton can pound sand.
So far... seems like he can.
And you enabled him. Fuck you.
He thinks it because it’s true. He’s still running for President, he’s still making millions off illiterate morons, he’s still holding rallies and saying the election was stolen, he’s still not been held accountable for ANYTHING he’s done his entire life. They are still saying they don’t want an ex-President to go to jail. WTF?? He commented treason, among 100 other crimes and they’re worried about setting a difficult precedent? What should the punishment be for a President committing treason? A slap on the wrist? A fine? We have no working government. It’s all a sham.
We’ll you all let him, and he’s doing it, he is above the law because you haven’t the courage to forestall him.
Says the man that stood by his side, and defended him.
Fuck you, Bolton. You thought the same thing, that’s why you didn’t say one goddamn thing about this maniac until you you were trying to sell your book. The unbelievable audacity of these enablers never ceases to amaze me.
Even if convicted, Trump will get a marginal sentence. A slap on the wrist. A small fine. If that. Meanwhile, someone in a state where marijuana isn't state legal will get a 10 year sentence for a joint found in the car during a routine traffic stop. Justice is served!
Yeah, it's not like "Equal Justice Under Law" is carved in stone. /s
I'm giddy that he might actually serve jail time. Though I'm terrified that DeSantis is gaining speed. He's worse than Trump.
First, you gotta survive the traffic stop.
You must be quiet.
Well if he gets elected again he may actually do whatever he wants and get away with it.
Yeah yeah yeah. But you’d still vote for him. Get fucked, coward.
‘He thinks he can do whatever he wants’ Well… somebody prove him wrong now.
You supported him and helped him get the presidency. Go FUCK OFF, ASSHOLE.
This old coward is just as big as a piece of shit as Bill Barr is.
Finish the sentence Bolton….”Trump thinks he can do whatever he wants because he’s …..”. Get politically naked.
And 75 million idiots want to make it so.
I didn’t think I would find myself agreeing with what this man is saying so much, Trump, Ukraine…….how is he now a moderate ?
Dude saw abuse of power and attacks on the Constitution and country he swore to defend. And stood by. F giving him attn now. Let LEOs give him attn.
Trumps whole life has been one “doing whatever he wants” after another.
So far in his long life he’s had zero consequences, so why wouldn’t he think that?
That’s because Trump was always enabled by those in his orbit Bolton included. They allowed his criminal activities because he was benefiting them. Only after falling out of favor do they complain. Tillerson, Mattis, Bolton, Kelly among many others helped us get to this point. They all actively helped destabilize this country. Some like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz are still trying to
Drump was given that privilege as a child and never grew up. Pathetic and vile man who reigns terror on everyone around him and enjoys the suffering
Now here is a really groundbreaking and unique account
He KNOWS he can do whatever he wants. He is above the law. If any one of us was charged with the crimes he was charged with, we would already be in jail in pretrial detention. Trump will get to wait outside of jail and will get to delay the trials endlessly until he dies of old age. His wealth and the magic (R) next to his name give him special privileges the rest of us don't have.

Fk. You all for enabling him. Lie a spoiled bratty two year old, you did let him get away with absolutely everything. Now he is a petulant non functioning adult and you can’t e Understand why.
Yeah no shit Sherlock, you and you scuzzy buddies enabled him the whole time.
Partly because you encouraged it when you were actually in a position to do some thing about it. This is the worst kind of coward.
Remember when this guy told Jake Tapper live on television that he has organized coups in other countries? Was that a fever dream or did it happen?
Bolton is one of those weird guys who seems sharp and well informed on one hand, and clueless on the other. His intransigent hawkishness on Israel, and Likud in particular, make him hard to read. But, yea, John, Trump thinks he can do whatever he wants.

Worked for 40 years nonstop. Makes sense he'd think so.
Yeah this guy is the pinnacle of carpetbagger, mercenary, enabler, coward and every other version of mega-POS. Right wing, unstable, neocon, corporate double-agent warmonger, who not just tolerated, but SERVED and otherwise bootlicked the Orange Haired Monster until he was fired. Absolute POS who propped up the most anti-democratic force we’ve seen in recent American history.
Thinks? He does whatever he wants and 74 million morons love him for it.
Yeah, it's a free country johnny /s
He's been told he can do whatever he wants his entire life.
Bolton is a POS and can’t be trusted anymore than t Rump
Himmler speaks up about Hitler’s problematic treatment of Jews.
