And I'm glad you've acknowledged we need more proof than Bolton saying it happened.

Can we stop creating threads like these and put them into their master threads?

All racism threads into one thread.

All pro-anti Trump stuff in the Trump thread.

If Bolton can corroborate these claims then holy shit, Trump is probably done. Can't say I'd be surprised, but then again, Bolton is a complete nut.

Because of all the high-quality nuanced discussion taking place?

Some of it would be impeachable offenses. The GOP should get behind impeaching Trump if some of the uglier things are true.

The Government are worried much of his corroboration uses classified documents and are trying to block release on these grounds Friday.

Then he should just release his book and then Bolton gets charged and executed for high-crimes.

Seems simple enough, right?

The problem is Bolton is a disgruntled ex employee who clearly held out to make money. If he was truly the honest person he claims to be he'd be like "yeah, I sat on this info for financial reasons".

A valid point. These silly "tell all" books tend to be very short and written by a ghost writer who juice shit it with input from the person for a quick buck.

Surtur
Not valid in the face of the opportunity to testify and refusal to do so though, sorry Rob

Honestly, Trump and the Senate Republicans set themselves up to only make Bolton's claims now seem legit.

Are you forgetting he could have testified in the House? How are you forgetting this? Where is that legendary memory?

Trump blocked Bolton using the powers of the POTUS. The House Democrats would have had to subpoena, then Trump would have sued and it would have gone on forever. Keep imagining though.

Surtur
Ah so that is the excuse you're gonna use now. Okay, I'll allow it.

After all, there was no rush...(unless u wanted to cash in on a book and didn't feel like waiting)

How is it not a cash grab when he could have come and testified but chose not to do so? But is willing to spill it all in a book? I don't know, all that legal stuff goes right over my head. It all seems pretty strange, we'll have to see how it turns out, I guess. It's surprising how many enemies Trump has made in the ranks of the GOP though, like everyone seems to have a Trump book now.

Robtard
@surtur How you conveniently forget: Trump falsely claims House Democrats 'never' asked Bolton to testify

House investigators did ask Bolton to testify during the impeachment inquiry last fall, but he declined to testify on instructions from the White House and said he would only testify pursuant to a subpoena if a court weighed in on the issue. The House never subpoenaed Bolton, likely to avoid a drawn-out court battle. -snip

Gotta look at the context, they can shove any insane claim they want into the book(probably why Bolton's is so long) and since it's Trump(and especially in the current atmosphere) you'll always have someone who will believe it and the media will dutifully give you a bunch of interviews, etc. if you have a trump bashing book. Left wing media will act like these stories are true even as they tiptoe around it by saying he "allegedly" did these things.

Yeah, I mean tbf I've got to a point where I'm believing very little anymore. I'm trying to follow my intellectual instincts atm in the face of the overwhelming chaos of modern information exchange.

In this case, from what I know so far (which isn't all that much), I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of what's contained in Bolton's book is true.

But yeah, the left-wing MSM will eat it all up regardless of veracity.

Some could be true, who knows. Problem is Bolton's actions have made it impossible to say what is true or not based on his word alone.

Hell Bolton could have gone on CNN and said these things. He could have written an op-ed and said these things.

He chose instead to write a tell all book. Tells us all we really need to know

Whirly didn't make 20+ threads in a single day about the same subject nor did he necro 30+ threads.

Saying "reported" implies I was trying to get him in trouble, I was not, I was trying to avoid that. I know Imp and TI are friends or friendly so I sent Imp a PM seeing if he could have a nice convo in private because I felt TI was on the edge of reverting back to his old crazy self.

Anyhow, I'm going to send a PM and see if I can get this thread merged with the Bolton Book thread and keep all Bolton book talk in one thread

That's not the benign narrative that was pushed though, it was that he still is a Muslim and was pushing to install Sharia law in the US, planning on extending his president indefinitely, supports ISIS. Anyhow, lets leave it, as I don't think you've actually forgotten your previous beliefs.

BrolyBlack
I think he still is Muslim, I have never conceded he's not.

The real question I always asked was why do people have a problem admitting he is, when its pretty well documented.

I dont care that he is, I care about the stupid people that want to deny it just to deny it, to either make themselves feel better or to gaslight.

Happened upon this quote the other day. Seems as relevant today as 100 years ago, and no doubt well before that:

While I wholeheartedly agree that his base is a cult and they will never break away from him no matter what as long as he has power, it's not those people that need to be swayed in order for him to lose in 2020. It's the purple voters, the fringe voters, Blue voters who voted for the "anti-establishment outsider" (lol, how did that turn out) in 2016 and the moderate-Right who had have enough of this clownshow.

I forget which Republican election analyst said it, but the 2016 election come to down to something like 70-75k votes across a few states.

I said to my daughter, who with her BF marched in some of the Brooklyn protests (following safety guidlines ofc), that I hope her generation realizes that protesting will only get you so much. You guys have to get out and vote. No sore-loser-I-didn't-get-Bernie crap.

She said that flyers were being handed out to remind people how important voting is.
