Does it make any difference if it is retribution?

I also heard that Bolton was recently making trips to Qatar and that an intel source there might have tipped off the Trump administration about what he was doing.

The justice system is systematic retribution so we dont give back to the days of blood feuds

Americans don’t want to hear about “retribution” after what the commie far left has done to the Trump family, their friends, their neighbors and their associates. Retribution would be too good for those bass turds.

Bolton is a means to the end.

The question is how much does he really know.

How many of the “retribution” crybabies have sunk their own money into America the way the Trump family and Elon Musk have sunk into it. I can’t think of one DemonRAT that has ever done anything good to make America a better place. Not one! All the money they’ve stolen while in office has gone into their psychedelic golden parachute for when they can no longer milk the taxpayers. “Public service my @**.”

When you wave a red flag calling attention to yourself
don't be surprised when attention is paid.

No it doesn’t make any difference but it sure does make it satisfying as hell.

I hope it isn’t retribution when there are bigger fish to fry...Or would it be better to start with the smaller ones and save the whales for last?

No.

Retribution: punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act.

They quite literally have it coming.

Vengeance is mine says The Lord. Agree. That does not say what tool he will use!

The ‘retribution’ SHOULD have started under Bush Jr., but instead all we got was a “New Tone”. So the f-heads in DC took that as a green light to do whatever suited them...and things got to this level.

So, perhaps Bush Jr. was the IDIOT that the Democrats claimed, after all.

Retribution, like discrimination, has a proper use.

Trump seems to be winning in the courts. I think that is due to his commitment to act within the law. I’m sure there are enough good reasons to go after Bolton and many others.

That I enjoy watching the process is another matter. I can see it as retribution and like what I see.

Yep, to these jagoffs, public service means that the public is supposed to serve them.

You get exactly that impression just driving by their palatial estates in places like Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Alexandria, just to name a few examples.

The implication is prosecution where it wouldn’t have happened except for personal hatred.

This is of course a double lie:

1. The crimes committed are egregious on their own and don’t need the impetus of revenge to be prosecuted; and

2. The people and crimes were themselves the result of political oppression which the guilty wish to project onto the victims.

Additionally, the pattern has been that these rats escalate every time their prior crimes go unpunished, to it’s vital to everyone that justice happen now.

It’s similar to the whole gerrymandering kerfuffle.

The Dems are really, really upset that for the first time in modern history Republicans are employing the same tactics they do.
