Except this is a former political ally. No one in the world wants to bomb Iranian chilsren more than John Bolton. I dont even think israel wants to bomb children as much as Bolton

But, he also said that Trump is an incompetent moron, so....

That just means hes lost some of his filter. Every person in the trump admin has said that, guaranteed. Heck vance said he was incompetent. Bolton is by far one of the most ideologically aligned people to the trump admin. This just means theyre starting with the night of long knives first, before kristalnacht.

Oh, no....he just said it out loud. As in, on television. That's the trick with Trump. Everyone knows he's a fuckin' moron. You just can't let him know you think that way.

Which also happens to be another indicator of how much of a moron he really is.

Vance said Trump was America's Hitler.

Maybe popularizing clips of trumps current staff saying how stupid and terrible he is will result in more indictments.

This is what fascist supporters don't understand. The fascists will turn on anyone in a heartbeat. It doesn't even have to make logical sense. As long as it gives them any kind of political advantage, real or perceived, they will turn on their allies.

Lepards eating faces, and all that.

That's typical, yes. Knight of the Long Knives was about purging the people in the Nazi party who were insufficiently loyal to Hitler. They had fulfilled their purpose and now they needed to go.
