This Bolton book is going to send Trump off the edge I think, he is already super paranoid and thinks his own people are mocking him behind his back ( with good reason because they are ) and the stuff in this book only confirms that. Its going to be a circus and when all these stories come out Trump is going to melt down on twitter like we have never seen before....and his supporters will have to work overtime to spin all the stuff coming out in ways to not make Trump look like what he is....the most corrupt president ever....

Of course a lot of Trump folks will just say its all lies, but we all know its true.....

Suprised you have time to read it. Figured youd be busy down at the local RNC, since you are conservative. Trump sure does live in your head alot.

This may all be true.....however that fact that it is true is the problem in DC and the country in general....the fact that Trump or anyone for that matter does these things and the overall reactions is "meh" is exactly why the politics and division in this country are where it is today. To many people turning blind eyes when their political side does the exact same things the other side was doing when they were screaming for people's heads on platters. Its disgustingly obvious and self serving and its hilarious and sad to watch it happen.

Bolton's book highlights the reasons Trump is unqualified and incapable of doing the job he has.....yet 10's of millions of Americans are going to vote to send his ass right back to the job....Biden is not much better, but in the end I think he does less harm over the next 4 yrs than Trump does...either way I wont vote for either of them as sadly we are going to get exactly what we deserve by having forced ourselves to somehow think/believe that Trump and Biden are the two best options to lead this nation...

THIS TIME its for real! This is the one that's gonna take Trump down just you wait and see! Its all in the book. Right there in black and white. Hell I could have written the Trump haters response......its the exact same as the last dozen or so...….
 
I urge all trump people to get 10 to 20 friends to vote R with them or don’t be their friends anymore
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the American leftist youth in all it's glory. The Liberals of yesteryear demanded the right to free speech an to protest but the left today now wants to shut down all speech, except theirs. For thoe of you here who lean left let me caution you, they are coming for the Conservatives now, but will eventually come for you as well if you are not far enough left

Sounds like Roberts is doing his typical “I’m not really for the ruling Im giving but since I’m daddy and you are a being a little rude, here is a slap on the wrist and you need to go out the door and come back in and ask nicely”

Yeah, I’ll have to delve into it a bit more after work, but the ruling surprised me and I’m not sure I understand the reasoning behind striking it down (whatever your opinion of DACA might be).

Yeah from what I understand it was the way the Trump Administration went about it, that was illegal. Sounds like it was just schematics of the case.

I watched the entire video, and the WHOLE time the only thing these little kids are talking about is Donald Trump. This is Trump Derangement Syndrome. That’s literally what this whole Seattle thing is about.

If you can't win in the game of life under Trump, not much hope for your future

And that is exactly why the state of Washington is letting them do this. It is state sponsored terrorism directed at conservatives and Republicans. They have the right to speak but threatening and physically barring people from walking the city streets is NOT within that right. I look at this as sedition on the part of these scoundrels and the government leaders.

It will fade away if the Democrats win in November. If they lose, then Trump will have the green light to clean them out. But once it gets cold, they are probably going to leave anyway.
 
Two reasons Bolton never came forward to testify for the Schiff crew.
A) He didnt want to answer questions B) He wouldnt get paid. Downeast 29 bucks would never reach his pocketts.
 
Trump Signs Bill Condemning China’s Uighur Camps Shortly After Bolton Book Claims He Encouraged Them

More From Forbes

TOPLINE
President Trump signed a bill condemning China’s concentration camps for the Uiyghur Muslim community just hours after excerpts from former National Security Advisor John Bolton surfaced which claim Trump encouraged Chinese President Xi Jinping to build the camps.

BEIJING, CHINA - NOVEMBER 9: China's President Xi[+]2017 GETTY IMAGES

KEY FACTS
Xi has drawn international criticism for his persecution of China’s Muslim Uighur population, including detaining around 1 to 2 million in concentration camps.
In the excerpt, reported by the Wall Street Journal, Bolton claims that “according to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps.”
“Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do,” he writes, adding that Trump called Xi “the greatest Chinese leader in 300 years!”

Shortly after the report, the White House put out a statement that Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020, which “condemns gross human rights violations of specified ethnic Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang region in China and other purposes, including specified authority to impose sanctions on certain foreign persons.”
The move was praised by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who introduced the bill and called its signing a “historic step in support of Uyghur Muslims worldwide,” but made no mention of Bolton’s allegations.

The news of Trump’s signing of the bill broke on June 8, just one day after it was reported that Bolton was planning to publish his book in late June.
KEY BACKGROUND
Reports about the camps paint a picture of harsh, repressive treatment that includes sham trials and ‘brainwashing.’ Detainees claim they were tortured, including being beaten, starved, and electrocuted. One Uighur woman says she “begged them to kill me.”
KEY QUOTE
Bolton writes that Trump asked him at the 2018 White House Christmas dinner “why we were considering sanctioning China over its treatment of the Uighurs.”
TANGENT
Among the many shocking allegations in the book is one that Trump pleaded with Xi to help him in his reelection bid. “He then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win,” the book claims. Bolton also called Trump “erratic” and “stunningly uninformed.”

And he’d be under oath. Already seeing folks who were in the same settings and meetings that Bolton and Trump were in, they’re saying some of the things are just absolutely false.
 
They’re all scumbags. They both couldn’t care less about the country and care more about themselves. They’re both crooks. Yes, I’m talking about the two who will square off for President in November. They both are doddering idiots who are in decline mentally. These are the best we have? Seriously? We shouldn’t be mad at one another as conservatives or liberals. We should be mad at the respective parties for the crap they give us every two years (House elections every two years and Senate every six) to vote for. The best people on each side aren’t the ones we will see on our ballots, that’s for damn sure. Here comes the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Uh, yeah.

But, as lower courts had found, Roberts said the administration did not follow procedures required by law, and did not properly weigh how ending the program would affect those who had come to rely on its protections against deportation, and the ability to work legally.

“We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies,” Roberts wrote.

He added: “We address only whether the [Department of Homeland Security] complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action. Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients. That dual failure raises doubts about whether the agency appreciated the scope of its discretion or exercised that discretion in a reasonable manner.”

You are affected more by your local elections than you are the presidency in my opinion. You could have the best we have to offer in the white house, if you have dirtbags representing you locally its a detriment. I harp continuously about the problems inner cities and metro areas have been facing for decades. When you vote the same corrupt people in EVERY SINGLE YEAR what does one expect to change? People can vote however they want but if they aren't willing to hold the people bending them over accountable, I have but so much empathy for them.
