Donald Trump's proposed gift to Kim of a signed Elton John CD was an Elton John CD signed by Donald Trump, not a CD signed by Elton John.
Trump though Elton John would be thrilled with the publicity the gift would bring.

"Bolton alleges Trump privately told him reporters deserve prison. "These people should be executed. They are scumbags.""
“He second-guessed people’s motives, saw conspiracies behind rocks, and remained stunningly uninformed on how to run the White House, let alone the huge federal government,”
Trump asked if Finland is part of Russia.
He repeatedly confused the current and former presidents of Afghanistan, had no idea the U.K. had nuclear weapons, and remarked that invading Venezuela would be “cool.”
Trump apparently asked Xi to buy up American agricultural products so as to help win the votes of those in rural areas. “He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome,” writes Bolton.
Trump didn’t bat an eye when Xi explained to him “why he was basically building concentration camps” for Uighur Muslims, an ethnic minority, in Xinjiang. Trump apparently “spoke approvingly of the camps.”
Bolton says he was so alarmed by this behavior that, in 2019, he took his concerns to Attorney General William P. Barr, who agreed that, yes, this is all very fucked up.
After Ivanka found herself in hot water for using her personal email account to conduct government business, Trump reportedly sought to bury the scandal by writing a full-throated defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was accused of ordering the killing of Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
“This will divert from Ivanka,” Trump reportedly said. “If I read the statement in person, that will take over the Ivanka thing.”
zoanthropy refers to a person who has delusions that they are a form of animal or that they have changed into an animal.
oh i see how it is, only sonatine is allowed to ruin others threads by posting long gay copy pastas, when anyone does it to him it's deleted
tight site
Don't spam the thread, please. I just had to remove like 6 messages here.
While Bolton is a Republican and has a good reputation, you do have to take some of this stuff with a grain of salt. Notice he's releasing the book in June, not December. He's pissed at Trump and wants him to lose -- even at the expense of the Republican Party itself (which will indeed lose other races if Trump does worse than expected.)
Whenever someone releases a bitter tell-all timed to harm the person they're telling about, you have to wonder how much is true and how much is embellished.
Think of it like when an ex-girlfriend talks shit about you after a breakup. Part of it will be the unflattering truth, part will be half true but embellished, and part will be complete BS.
I imagine the same is going on here.

However, you'd be a fool to think that Bolton released this book in June 2020 because that just happened to be the date he was done with it.
It would be much more credible if it were released in December, so we could be sure that this was written for informational reasons, rather than vengeance.
why are you deleting my posts but you let sonatine do it?

Start a competing site if you want more respect. That's how sonatine did it.Quote:

On the other hand would you expect him to delay?
I'm sure he's a little bitter though. Surely it will be a little biased but I believe it will be fundementally true.

I do mostly agree with Druff. When Bolton decided to write this book he intended for it to be released prior to this coming election.
Obviously he has an axe to grind. Probably deserved too.
I think it will be very damaging.
honestly ive looked at all the theories and none of them properly explain to me why he would write a book he knew perfectly well he would go broke because of and yet somehow refuse to testify during the impeachment trial.
like he could have hit the lecture circuit after either one of those and ended up with a haliburton no-show board seat and been worth low 9 figures by now, so its not a financial thing.
and the legal costs of fighting for its release is absolutely going to be ruinous in the short term so wtf.
Didn’t he say he would testify but the senate republicans didn’t want him to? Maybe I’m misremembering.Quote:

pretty sure 'not trump' is the huge equity play for this election.

In general, I don't want to see spamming in any thread where people are going to seriously discuss something.
actually on ONE occasion you took down an extremely trill chicago trap house song in the chicago street warfare thread but i got over it.
I had to remove dwai from this thread.
Whether you agree or disagree with my forum moderation decisions, it's not your place to decide to overrule what I do. If I delete something and ask you not to post it again, don't post it again.
This is the second time in this thread when you've continued to spam when I deleted your previous spam and asked you to stop.
Clearly I'm not doing it for any kind of political bias reason, because I'm usually on your side and almost always disagree with the political stuff sonatine posts.
So far there is absolutely nothing in this revealing tell all that is even remotely surprising.
What a fail
interesting legal nuance.
the briefings filed today assert that it contains classified material, threatens sigint sources etc.
so a lot of people are saying 'ohhhh it must be all true'.
as it happens its not that black and white.
if a lie could be traced to a single source, the knowledge of the lie essentially implies the compromise of the single source.
so lets say i, an NSA employee, tapped the indian embassy in china, and heard an employee there bragging that he shat in the streets of the forbidden city. and i ran it down and he wasnt even in the country at the time he claimed to drop trou and shit on the hallowed stones of china's forbidden city main thoroughfare, per his claim.
i cant release that information, even tho its a lie, because to do so would reveal that i had tapped the embassy, and to reveal that information would be a national security concern.
hence; classified.
that said i havent read a single thing so far that strikes me as false in any and i mean any way, beyond bolton's breathless overestimation of his accomplishments. whats more he kept copious notes.
still tho, interesting quirk and likely going to be grossly misdiagnosed by the press.
Well the fact of the matter re Southeast Asia is lack of bowel control. You can just go there for yourself and smell it.Quote:
