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 suurvived the 'rona.

Just wear a mask and it'll all be okay.
I said it wasn’t intentional. But I also don’t see how it matters. If a person isn’t supposed to post new topics here, then why is it possible? What’s the big fekkin’ deal? Does anyone care except Rick? And why does Rick care? It’s infantile... but that’s redundant.

Didn’t there used to be a separate permanent thread for discussing rules? Hmm

This thread certainly doesn’t have much to do with Bolton’s book. smile

Yes. And back to topic, please.

I think the effort to block the distribution of the book is not in good faith (shocking), and doomed to failure because, frankly, it meets none of the case law on "prior restraint". It is a frivolous action by the DoJ and another Barr black eye for the Department. I expect by tomorrow it will have been dismissed. It's really hard to make the argument that there's a security risk when 1) it was approved by NSA, 2) it has already been distributed, 3) and the claims made in court don't comport with national security criteria. Trump just thinks he can "classify" anything embarrassing, and his Nazi henchman, Bill Barr, will do anything to protect his fuhrer. (Barr would have been so comfortable in Nazi Germany. He's an actual Fascist.)

Personally, I won't buy Bolton's Book, because he's a traitor, and I don't support traitors. I don't mean he's disloyal to Trump, but to the United States. A true patriot would have testified to Congress about what h.w knew instead of banking on his book deal. He's a sell-out of the highest order and the worst kind.

Trump says Bolton isn’t credible. The whole world knows that Trump isn’t credible. I think that means we are in for an incredible reality show cage match!

President Donald (...) Trump's* lawyers know it is nigh on impossible to stop the release of the book. However, they (he) only want to stop its release until after the election. He believes that the Senate will remain in Republican hands.

John Bolton is more credible in the Conservative world than Donald Trump, where Bolton is a stand-up citizen in their eyes. Conservatives know that Donald Trump is a liar and a joke, but he is their liar and a joke. At this point, the GOP can only hope to hold onto the Senate and that isn't looking good either. Hmm

Indeed, plus the book has already been disseminated to media.

Bill Barr's shotgun ride on Trump's scorched-earth joyride against justice will not end well for Bill Barr. smile

Barr's actions validate the perception of Conservatives being greedy selfish individuals who are only looking out for themselves and to grab as much money in life as possible. Hmm
