Not open for further replies.
Is Trump Trump admitting that all the Democrats who objected John Bolton's appointment were right after all then? Including Obama and Clinton.

I agree that any normal person who was as fed up as President Trump would rationalize it away. But the two things Trump hates the most in this world are being laughed at and being called a loser (being being called wrong). So the question then becomes is he a guy who will devoting all, or almost all, his emotion and energy to never being called a loser or is he pathologically opposed to being labeled a loser.

Wil he give the country the finger, say f you, and start his own media network? Or will he act like a four year old and say, “if I can’t have it then nobody can have it. I’m going to break it in half and I’m going to enjoy watching you cry when you figure out that you can’t have it.” Do we really have enough evidence that the guy who claimed voter fraud when he won is not going to dog-whistle up some violence if he loses? Can we point to any calendar month when POTUS did not, at least once, act like he had the emotions of someone less than seven years old?


After all, he doesn't launch them personally. My guess that those who do would object to the idea. Also, I frankly don't think he's that crazy.

I’ll agree that he is not crazy enough to try it. But he is closer to being crazy enough to try it than any president in the Atomic Age. He told Biden to not share COVID information with two states because he was upset that the governors were not giving him the respect he deserved. That is evidence that this is a guy who does not understand that the lives of US citizens have intrinsic worth.

But Trump does this all the time. And he probably does have the legal authority to do it - those are patronage jobs, despite the thin fiction of an independent prosecutorial authority.

This one may bug Barr more than most though. He still wants to be recognized as a qualified attorney, but the profession may turn on him.

Trump has the authority. Barr doesn't. But Barr said the man was resigning. Which the man didn't. The head of the SDNY has said he will keep doing his job until another SDNY Chief has been nominated by the President and approved by Congress. All investigations will continue.

Yeah, looking at him these days, he is so clearly in over his head and tired of fed up with all the trouble, as you say. Yesterday, watching that press conference where he just sat there like a little kid, not able to answer, when asked why he hired people he believed to be liars, I caught myself wondering if he'd drop out of the 2020 election.

I know he won't, as it'd be totally out of character for him, but he looked that uncomfortable.

If/when he loses, he'll probably make a show of tweeting some angry stuff about rigged elections and do some Trump-ish crazy... stuff, then he'll leave the White House.

Maybe it would be more understandable if I said I don't do Republican or Democrat or Independent or Libertarian.

A friend says that in the political realm I am a hermaphrodite. I didn't disagree but said okay as long as that's not a political party. I thought he was actually very good at evaluating me because the term hermaphrodite isn't about being Centrist and it isn't really one thing or another. The hermaphrodite is everything at once and yet is difficult to describe or predict or maybe even understand at all. And you don't tell a hermaphrodite that they need to make up their mind and decide what they are.

Sorry, I don't get your pont. I don't speak Gibberish.

I think it's steering the middle ground between conspiracy-theory promoting racists (many of whom also deny evolution and global warming) and those who are against them.

BIG COURT WIN against Bolton. Obviously, with the book already given out and leaked to many people and the media, nothing the highly respected Judge could have done about stopping it...BUT, strong & powerful statements & rulings on MONEY & on BREAKING CLASSIFICATION were made....


....Bolton broke the law and has been called out and rebuked for so doing, with a really big price to pay. He likes dropping bombs on people, and killing them. Now he will have bombs dropped on him!
 
Tulsa police have arrested a woman for trespassing wearing an "I Can't Breathe" shirt in the rally line. She had a ticket and everything. And it's not even noon there.

Good. Imagine if she were wearing a shirt that said, "I HATE Honkies!" Now multiply that by a million.

This was winning? The book is being released fully. It doesn't matter that the judge commented about it. That has no legal weight whatsoever.

Reports say Trumpers told her to leave, and when she refused they called the cops.
A women wearing an shirt that said "I can't breathe" was handcuffed and physically removed from the grounds of the rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa on Saturday.

MSNBC was broadcasting live from outside the BOK Center when Tulsa police officers approached the woman, who was sitting on the ground. One officer leaned down and told her to leave and that if she didn't, they would remove her.

"I have a ticket," she told the officer.

"We're going to put handcuffs on you," he then tells her.
