Capitol Hill Blue Forums Hot Topics & Breaking News News Bolton’s book

Fareed Zakaria says Trump has admitted the truth contained in Bolton’s book by claiming he is Illegally revealing classified information.

I suspect this cat fight will be Trump’s final undoing because he can’t help going after Bolton hammer and tongs, and will use any and all of the dirty techniques learned throughout his ugly and corrupt life, all of which are unethical, and many being illegal.

We are being treated to the final episode of the King Kon Reality Show.

This is the Round Table. Only Round Table threads belong here.

Trump kind of gave away his central thought on the book: He claimed that anything Bolton said to him was classified.

That would be a completely new interpretation of the classification procedures. Material has never been classified because of who said it or who it was spoken to. It's always been because it related to a national security issue. Making anything classified just because it would embarrass the President is an abuse of that system.

Trump seems to think he's King, and lèse-majesté is a crime. Yet another lawsuit for him to lose. I predict dismissal within hours.

I also predict that the Supreme Court will hand Trump his ass by supporting all the subpoenas and congress' absolute right to oversee the Executive Branch. That'll be 0:5 for Trump!

My mistake, though I can't see why it matters to anyone...

As you know, and this is now the third time YOU have posted a non-Round Table thread on the Round Table in a year, the RT is unique and special and there are fifty other places to post. Weird how only YOU are making that "mistake."

I'm sure a mod will be moving the thread to its proper place any time now.

I don't even know what a round table thread is.

I know. It's weird, isn't it?

The forum list says the Roundtable is the place for new topics that aren't meant for long threads. Apparently there is a secret rule that only a few special people know about?

Given that a Ranter of 10 years residency is somehow inexpectably unable to articulate what the Round Table is..(as if!), I'll do it.

Back in the day, we had daily Round Tables. The job would rotate among the Moderators. Some days the first thread was historical days in history, or something related to the day if it were a holiday. Birthdays were mentioned. It was a social gathering place as the thread description states - to chit chat, post one-off memes, stories, etc. It was never, ever intended to be a discussion form, as there are over 30 other discussion forums.

It's a given that Round Table is meant to be a special forum onto itself. As Ranters dwindled, so did the Round Tables. It became weekly for a long time. Then monthly, now it's seasonal.

Over the past year, a certain Ranter has "misplaced" or "didn't know" where he was posting a thread - on three different occasions now - and the only Ranter to do so - if you can believe that "didn't know" story.

Because you and I both know, you have to purposely select a forum in which to post a thread. You can't "accidentally" post to a forum and not know which Forum you're in. As founder Doug Thompson would say, "...that doesn't pass the smell test."

Sadly, some people in life have an innate demonstrable talent is for pissing all over it - with no respect for history or tradition, as is the case here.

And now you know the rest of the story.

I'm about the only mod around nowadays and I'm too busy elsewhere to feck around with moving entire threads.

Logtroll, don't post sh*t in this forum, it's for Roundtable posts only.

Rick, don't get your panties in a twist, we'll survive this just like we survived the 'rona.

Just wear a mask and it'll all be okay.

No no no, and no. Read what it says again! It's a place for POSTS not new threads. I fixed it but don't make me do this again!
