You honestly can't imagine Trump asking and saying stupid things? He does it practically every day.

Trump saying dumb things really isn't the parts I am interested in reading... I want to know more about what Bolton knows in regards to Ukraine and China, on the impeachment offenses. Bolton claims to know a lot more impeachable stuff.

The other parts are really just embarrassing for Trump... but Trump does plenty on a regular basis to embarrass himself and show us all how dumb he is. That's not breaking news or anything, and he doesn't need any help exposing that he is an idiot.

Why do you believe Bolten?

Of course he does...they all do

He will likely have a paper trail on some of this stuff.... That would be nice. We will just have to see what he claims in the book, and see if it connects to any evidence. That's all we can do. From these tiny excerpts, there is nothing revealed that isn't easy to imagine, I have no reason to question that stuff, but again, those aren't big stories, they are just embarrassing for Trump.

Do you automatically not believe anything he says? Do you care if it connects to any legitimate evidence?

Are people perfect? No.

Are all people imperfect? Yes.

Do all imperfect people share the same flaw in that they make mistakes? Yes.

A person sees another person and says, "hey there's a person who makes mistakes, I think I'll listen to every word they say."

This is what differentiates anal retentive "deeks" from those who are blessed not to be that "deek." I could care less what position or title a person has for to listen to every uttered word, so as to judge that person, is a flawed pursuit of the truth. If you want to be that "deek" then you will be exposed for being that "deek."

We have seen this tactic tried over and over the last 4+ years. Its old and stale. And yes, I generally do not believe anythign somebody says if they say they ahve damning evidence but don't produce it

It's quite simple for some of the board cadre, for if they want it to be true therefore it must be true as it requires no litmus test to measure the practicality of it all (hands up don't shoot!) An unbiased world is a fair and equitable one while bias alleviates it of any sensibility.

The main issue Bolton is going to have to address is credibility. He absolutely refused to testify in front of congress and threatened to sue if he was subpoenaed. Now it appears this is because he wanted the public to buy/read his tell all book and may not have wanted to give a preview of any details unless he was getting paid. It's obvious he and Trump weren't aligned on certain issues....prompting his removal....and yet another motive. I have no idea if this is a hatchet-job to sell books or if everything he is saying is true. But, as usual, I'm always skeptical of long-standing bureaucrats who have an ax to grind.

I agree with this.... and don't really understand. He could have testified, and still written the book, and included his experiences during the impeachment trial as part of the book. I really don't see what he gains here.

I think Bolton is trying to keep his bona fides with conservatives while also dishing on Trump. He still wants to be able to get a gig with some Republicans after Trump is gone and he probably thinks that if he had cooperated with Democrats it would have made him unemployable. There are plenty of Republicans that want to get rid of Trump though so he can run to their camp to get a job when Trump is gone. I think he's being too clever by half, though.

(Of course, none of that means his book is false. I don't think Bolton is stupid and I don't think he would write a tell-all without documentation. It's also telling that the Trump White House is trying to keep his book from being published, citing the disclosure of classified information)

i'm undecided on this one.
I don't think children should be punished for their parents coming over illegally. But at the same time, they can't stay in this limbo status forever. If I recall correctly back when this became an issue, there isn't a way for a "dreamer" to become a citizen

I believe what he is getting at is that liberals were scared to death that the conservative SCOTUS was going to destroy this country and bring about the new nazi germany. It hasn't happened. The last few rulings have gone the way of the liberals

And now it's time for a Linda Ronstadt song, "It's So Easy (to understand!)." You are spot on, except I was specifically referring to abd himself. If he wants to include his brethren then that's up to him. And I will interject that "binded panties" makes the easiest of observations to fall by the wayside.

Now this psycho thinks the Supreme Court is making rulings because they don't like him.
