It will be Fauci.. No one cares about these clowns. Most maga don't even know who they are.

titanfall.bsky.social•29 days ago

He doesn't give a shit. He will even attempt to pardon people who try to harm these people.

stephjmom.bsky.social•29 days ago

.... How come trump isn't irate at the guy who shot at him?

Is it because it made him look like a hero?

bema0531.bsky.social•29 days ago

Because then we would have to talk about the fact that the shooter was a Republican? And because he is dead? He doesn't care about dead people, all "losers", whether heroes or scumbags.

bakingfool.bsky.social•29 days ago

I know these men spoke out against Trump, but to put their lives at risk, when you know Iran has marked them for death, is beyond despicable.

dsng480.bsky.social•29 days ago

If one of them is attacked, the WSJ Editorial Board will explain that Trump is not responsible for the actions of his followers, and that Trump should be immune from even the implication of such, on account of he's president.

randybud.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump is above the law. He owns the courts.

trgoodwind.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ha! Seriously? He won’t be able to avoid responsibility?!?!? Where the hell have they been the last 4 years?

He avoided responsibility for the Jan 6 riots. How will he NOT avoid responsibility for an attack after casually withdrawing security?

khshan.bsky.social•29 days ago

As if WSJ didn't help create this mess.

majodaga.bsky.social•29 days ago

true that

1realbambi.bsky.social•29 days ago

What Trump wants!

jimobx.bsky.social•29 days ago

Cmon. Nobody ever holds Trump responsible for any of his crimes. Prove me wrong.

chilicatsmom.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope they leave the country to be safer.

redeye1957.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trump revoked the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

lwool.bsky.social•29 days ago

Of course he will escape responsibility. Never any consequences for him.

allen-emsu.bsky.social•29 days ago

Revenge tour has started.The lows keep getting lower..

musicjunkie50.bsky.social•29 days ago

WSJ opinion page now has concerns?

mikepe3.bsky.social•29 days ago

I don't think anyone can fathom what "low" can be obtained. New "lows" will become a daily occurance.

acitrano.bsky.social•29 days ago

Narrator: “yet he was able to escape the responsibility.”

miabw.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is how fascism and mafia work

mprclntrlst.bsky.social•29 days ago

Nothing would please him more. He would not seek to escape responsibility, he would blame the victim, of course

neverobeyinadvance.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump has never been held accountable!

glenn-eric.bsky.social•29 days ago

Looking to escape responsibility? His pardons have made clear he supports political violence.

brklynmind.bsky.social•29 days ago

ogjojo.bsky.social•29 days ago

Also, Anthony Fauci. FOTUS is also still trash talking them & it's not much of a leap to imagine a scenario where one or more of his rabid MAGATS decides to carry out a Paul Pelosi type attack on them. When he talks, MAGATS listen & fervently do his bidding.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Fauci‼️

peterb77.bsky.social•29 days ago

He escapes every responsibility.

lakin1013.bsky.social•29 days ago

The man who does not take responsibility continues same.

bluemeade7.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump will say they deserved it for making him look bad.

bahdiphat.bsky.social•29 days ago

Of course Trump will escape all responsibility. He won't be attacking them. No-one will actually punish him for it.

kcwilson.bsky.social•29 days ago

Wonder if any of this term’s potential appointments have second thoughts about now?

mariootsa.bsky.social•29 days ago

Let me guess, he will anyway.

toplineinvest.bsky.social•29 days ago

😂 escape “some” responsibility 😂

you-talkin2me.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump has the mindset of a
two year old!

somethingbytes.bsky.social•29 days ago

Then he has a casual belli. The really bad one is Fauci, Trump's own people will go after him.

somethingbytes.bsky.social•29 days ago

*casus belli

momo663.bsky.social•29 days ago

He attempted a coup and escaped responsibility. This will be easy.

mikelaff.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good heavens. He escaped responsibility for inciting an insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. Does the WSJ board seriously think he’ll ever be held accountable for anything? Absurd.

porthos84.bsky.social•29 days ago

I do know this is serious, and while I would say that I've mostly disagreed with what I've heard from Mr. Bolton I don't believe he deserves harm that doesn't come from some form of proper due process.

But I've got to make this joke:

Mr. Bolton could just shave and he'd be fine, right?

hartsigns.bsky.social•29 days ago

Fauci

equanimime.bsky.social•29 days ago

He wanted them to hang his VP, u think he cares about Bolton?

indnial.bsky.social•29 days ago

Fuck them and their complicity.

hippygirl.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sure he will. The tRumplican party is clearly unable to stop the crazy. The GOP is dead.

evilempireinala15.bsky.social•29 days ago

Im tired of reading "if he does x he'll finally be held to account." He always escapes responsibility.

munteanua.bsky.social•29 days ago

If one of them gets attacked Trump will have a casus belli for war with Iran. It's a win/win for Trump. Both Bush 1 and Bush 2's approval ratings shut up in the immediate aftermath of starting wars in the Middle East.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•29 days ago

And we will have dead American public servants. You miss the god damn point.

bema0531.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ex servants--as Trump said in a presser today, "no, I don't think I'll feel responsible. They made a lot of money. They can pay for their own security." Transactional narcissists don't understand responsibility.

ysosidious.bsky.social•29 days ago

Bolton didn’t serve this country. Let’s dial it down a notch.

pazooter.bsky.social•29 days ago

It may seem extreme, but even a brief study of Earth history lends credence. It's the only thing that makes sense. Ugly, yeah; hard to assimilate, yeah; but like Sherlock said, "When all else..."

1obliviousdork.bsky.social•29 days ago

What if they get attacked? After getting the Supreme Court to say a president can break laws, what's to say he doesn't have them targeted himself?

gregsanderson.bsky.social•29 days ago

There is no bottom, so a new low is correct. But who exactly would hold him responsible 🤔

The party? No.

The media? No.

The voters can't now.

And he knows it.

islandgirlsea.bsky.social•29 days ago

What about Dr. Fauci?

votevaxresist.bsky.social•29 days ago

Not a fan of Bolton or Pompeo, but I wouldn’t wish being strangled and then chopped up into little pieces and stuffed in a suitcase on anyone.
Or being poisoned with Novichok.
Maybe they’ll just be pushed out windows?

ljamesnc.bsky.social•29 days ago

He will escape ALL responsibility under SCOTUS’ nonsensical immunity ruling.

trump can plan 1st degree murder on Pennsylvania Avenue & not lose a single #SupremeCourt vote.

thryse.com•29 days ago

All three of these guys deserve it - and whatever happens, Trump will escape responsibility the same way he has for everything his entire benighted predatory life

opendragon.bsky.social•29 days ago

And at the same time he's given pardons for his private army.
Methinks that all his 'enemies' have become targets... and their attackers will be given new 'blanket' pardons.

johnnycee.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Dr Faucis security detail has also been sacrificed to the whims of this petty madman.

stephjmom.bsky.social•29 days ago

And sadly, that is where the shit is going to go down. They really hate him.

disorderlybrdrline.bsky.social•29 days ago

His motive is simple.

browwiw.bsky.social•29 days ago

I thought Pompeo was Trump's boy. What happened, there?

fgcallari.bsky.social•29 days ago

He will entirely escape responsibility, thanks to the cult of personality the Murdoch media echo chamber has nurtured.
The WSJ editorial board DEFINITELY does not get to hide behind these pieties.

pdd99.bsky.social•29 days ago

He’ll just blame the attackers…. He’s not concerned about blame and knows how to swat it away and is confident the press will relent. Same approach. It’s worked every time.

bema0531.bsky.social•29 days ago

I am sure that there will be "some very fine people" amongst those attackers

harriet75.bsky.social•29 days ago

And now Fauci..

n8nagel.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm most worried about the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers going after Dr. Fauci... And it was Trump's lies that caused him to need security in the first place. Disgusting.

figgythebabycat.bsky.social•29 days ago

I think Trump is masturbating over this possibility. He is gross. Demonic even.

joe-314t.bsky.social•29 days ago

Their choices of initially aligning with the SOB has consequences, they didn’t think it was coming from their own side. “Retribution” is a bitch

artydeb.bsky.social•29 days ago

For sure some bad things will happen resulting from all his BS. Stick it on the GOP.

corruption47.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh, WSJ cares NOW? Because one of their own is harmed by a Trump actions. Hey @wsj.com how about take off your blinders and see that he is screwing over every American, except the billionaires.

patspark.bsky.social•29 days ago

"Some responsibility"??? Total responsibility is more like it.

sandiego-frank.bsky.social•29 days ago

Doesn't Iran still have you-know-who on their hit list?

jeevmon.bsky.social•29 days ago

Can someone refresh my recollection as to what Pompeo did to earn Dear Leader's wrath? I understand why he's pissed at Bolton, but I thought Pompeo was a dedicated suck-up.

honeylamb.bsky.social•29 days ago

I’ve been trying to figure that out. Maybe something to do with 90 lb weight loss?

hirosh7.bsky.social•29 days ago

Hmmm...

“.. Mr. Trump won’t be able to escape some responsibility.”

WSJ EB: He's been doing that his entire life. Did we miss a memo?🤔

This is what happens when the majority of his supporters give him a pass on serious matters. May I point you back to GOP congressional reaction to his J6 pardons?

mikahmiriam.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump had no problem extending secret service protection for his own adult children at the end of his last term

plains.bsky.social•29 days ago

The wsj is always the absolute lowest. They don’t give a shit unless a rich white dude is in “danger”

kurtallebach.bsky.social•29 days ago

It's trump's intent. By publicly announcing this, he's effectively putting a hit out on these folks.

retirementedge.bsky.social•29 days ago

smgstow2021.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sure he will. He’s not being held to any accountability or responsibility.

itstheconstupid.bsky.social•29 days ago

We should be concerned for the safety of these doucebags? Freedom of speech comes with responsibility. It also comes with consequences.

brendee55.bsky.social•29 days ago

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever get in bed with Trump in any way, shape, or form because as soon as Trump's done with you, he'll light the bed on fire!

bema0531.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope that is true for all of his current bed fellows sooner than later...

jsfior.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Dr. Fauci🤬

dpsbluesky.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

He escapes any and all responsibility. He was reelected. All of the indictments went poof! People apparently wanted a criminal in the WH and elected him

Are we still playing the Lucy and the football game here?

descartesghost123.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Fauci

majodaga.bsky.social•29 days ago

What responsibility?

biggyrat70.bsky.social•29 days ago

When hasn't the Felon escaped responsibility? Sheesh

kamalazoo.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Fauci. Don't forget Dr Fauci. He put him out there for all those crazies to go after.

pdconner52.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Fauci today.

billjarrett.bsky.social•29 days ago

Escape it?

He will probably claim he’s due an award for it.

veeforward.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump just set a bunch of violent criminals loose & he's removed these guys security. Some responsibility? How do you know he's not looking to have them killed?

gracemoynihan.bsky.social•29 days ago

He ALWAYS escapes responsibility. Please. 🙄🤮

mannwich.bsky.social•29 days ago

ETTD

spexhausted.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh yeah?

tombussanich.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump is a sadist- anyone surprised?

enlightenedthinker.bsky.social•29 days ago

How long before some troglodyte with a gun takes out someone that Trump has labeled the enemy?

avaleesc.bsky.social•29 days ago

and Fauci

ladychiron.bsky.social•29 days ago

“Some responsibility”? He has all the responsibility.

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•29 days ago

All three of those war criminals used to gloat about how their enemies weren’t safe, could run but couldn’t hide all that shit.

rrnhhiker.bsky.social•29 days ago

And Faucci lost his protection as well

thelibertypear.com•29 days ago

that's what he wants...

taylorgrayson.bsky.social•29 days ago

"Mr. Trump won’t be able to escape some responsibility."

He'll lose so much sleep over that...

rcopelander.bsky.social•29 days ago

Does anyone remotely believe he will feel responsible or face any consequences? Everyone in the media had better pick a side and report accurately or keep selling propaganda.

chrisnjfl.bsky.social•29 days ago

None of these men, supporters & co-conspirators in his first administration, do not deserve our sympathy or concern.

used2balawyer.bsky.social•29 days ago

Some?

corp123.bsky.social•29 days ago

In Dec 2019 this m*fo had the opportunity to testify at the first impeachment hearing against Trump, he refused to sell copies of his book. To make money.
Now he has no leg to stand on. He had the opportunity to be with America and chose to be with himself.
Which Trump is doing now. Peas of a pod.

nlstuever.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yes he will!! In his entire public life, when has he EVER had to take responsibility or be accountable??? The only way he won’t escape responsibility is if the American press hounds him about it…and we all know how likely that is to happen 🤔

equalunderlaw.bsky.social•29 days ago

The Felon has escaped responsibility for 78 years. Spare me.

capecodcountry.bsky.social•29 days ago

Every one of tRump's cabinet must understand that they will one day be in the same position. He cares about no one, but himself.
They put themselves in danger working with him. He is a sociopath.

bema0531.bsky.social•29 days ago

Somehow, those people likely think that they are the chosen ones. Goebbels and Himmler and Goering survived until the very end, had it not been for us evil Americans...
