bolton: trump stupid

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/politics/bolton-book-trump-impeached.html

John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser, says in his new book that the House in its impeachment inquiry should have investigated President Trump not just for pressuring Ukraine to incriminate his domestic foes but for a variety of instances when he sought to intervene in law enforcement matters for political reasons.

wait, trump did even more impeachable things, beyond ukraine? a world stands together in shock

great job john fucking bolton, for being there and witnessing all that and not doing jack shit

But if he did, how could he sell his book or book those Sunday morning interviews?

testifying before the house gets us no closer to nuking iran, so why would john bolton bother

that's probably the first time i've listened to culture beat in two decades, so thanks for that

lol my pleasure

I don't think Trump understands the difference between singles and albums:

Trump just has fond memories of life on the B-side.

holy shit Gaetz is a fucking asshole

Here's Cedric Richmond's clash with Gaetz. He really was not happy the GOP keeps offering amdts on antifa, the Mueller probe. The biggest fireworks come at the end.https://t.co/hMAOqNrTiX

Pathetic.

I hate him so much.

I wish someone would hit him.

tonight.

and for him to act all aggrieved at the end with his bit of concern trolling, jesus fuck.

I expect there will be a Bolton book TV adap

j/k, Ryan Murphy's audience doesn't care

idgi, Gaetz isn't even married, what was he working himself into a lather about exactly?

But for now, they said, the president is acting trapped and defensive, and his self-destructive behavior has been so out of step for an incumbent in an election year that many advisers wonder if he is truly interested in serving a second term.

Rather than focus on plans and goals for another four years in office, Mr. Trump has been wallowing in self-pity about news coverage of him since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, people who have spoken with him said. He has told advisers that no matter what he does, he cannot get “good” stories from the press, which has often been his primary interest.

oh this story again

Trump definitely wants to win re-election he's just incapable of even pretending to care about anything other than himself and the TV

"why are people so mad I endorsed concentration camps?"

he could drink bleach. that would be a good story

"for now" he is acting trapped and defensive

I wish someone would hit him.

...with a truck.

The president has told advisers he wants to find and prosecute whoever let it be known that he was in the bunker, per 3 ppl familiar with what he's said https://t.co/QDjxFUFwF9

i thought he was only in there, during the day, for a few minutes, he was asked to go check it out, during the day, somebody told him, just a few minutes, let's go check it out. it was during the day.

the best I've yet heard him, forceful and coherent

Make trump biden again

his self-sabotage aka "speaking"

I don't think Trump understands the difference between singles and albums:

That's a very ILX observation.

My first thought was about the word "autographed." Was the CD autographed by Elton John, or by Donald? This is a crucial detail.

I mean, I too could write my own name on a Beatles LP and call it "autographed."

Elton John isn't beyond criticism, but I don't think even he'd autograph a CD for Donald Trump to give to Kim Jong-un, especially when that release doesn't exist.

There's a Rocket Man album:

Hits comp from 2007. I wonder if this was the album he'd have his handlers blast on his plane when things weren't working out on the campaign trail.

“I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” Trump said. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”

the allusions to a 4-year-old boy with poopy pants get tiresome, i know, but he thinks and acts like one all the time

trump unfortunately probably otm for most people in the country

I heard Pat O'Brien is doing a feature on Juneteenth for Entertainment Tonight now that it's Very Famous

I will be releasing a new list of Conservative Supreme Court Justice nominees, which may include some, or many of those already on the list, by September 1, 2020. If given the opportunity, I will only choose from this list, as in the past, a Conservative Supreme Court Justice...

good thing the GOP rubber stamps everything Trump tries to do otherwise this would be the sort of thing you really shouldn't admit in public

Wait I thought we NEVER fill a Supreme Court vacancy during an election year; we always wait for the American people to have their say

mcconnell already said that if it came up this year, he'd ignore his previous "precedent" and let it happen.

one of many moments that should have resulted in a real life liberal mob with pitchforks beating the shit out of mitch mcconnell

He's repeating the 2016 campaign strategy in the hopes of whipping up voters and as an implicit denouncing of that William O. Douglas liberal Neil Gorsuch.

there's not even a vacancy!

Right, but if one were to be... ahem... arranged...
