it's going to be so amazing when Trump throws Don Jr under the bus:The White House tried to distance the president from his son’s actions, despite Trump's repeated calls for the whistleblower’s identity to be revealed.The White House told reporter Yashar Ali that neither “the president nor any senior administration official was aware in advance that the president’s eldest son was going to tweet out the name of the alleged whistleblower.”A defiant Don Jr. told Ali that the “outrage” over his outing of the purported whistleblower was “BS.”

i ordered some pizza earlier. in fact, i ordered the pizza and demanded that my pizza arrive quickly on social media for the next 30 minutes. i tagged everyone i could think of.and now you're telling me that the delivery person, who is also my son, is gonna show up at MY house, with the pizza **I** ordered, in 30 minutes? after i directly messaged my son and asked him to bring me my pizza that i ordered?
it goes without saying that i am distancing myself from my son's actions

I've said it before and again, going back up to poor white people.
My dad had multiple strokes and barely talks now. he can no longer work. He has gone bankrupt twice in the last 11 years, can barely afford his rent, and without me and my brother, he and my mother would likely be on their asses.
and after a very quiet afternoon where he hadn't spoken much, he saw a homeless person in the street and managed to say the first thing he said in over an hour, without stammering - "get a job!". and he complained about freeloaders, which sitting next to me, with zero sense of irony.
I love the man but he epitomizes the whole "I identify with rich folk so I am one even though I'm not" white person. my mother, on the other hand, has gotten fairly woke.

thank you. It especially stung because they have been coming to me for money since I was 18, not due to circumstances (both were always gainfully employed with decent paying jobs), but buying things they couldn't afford, living above their means, etc. so that now, when they have a legitimate reason tehy're struggling, they have no safety net.
to go through all that and still bite his thumb at homeless people really pisses me off.

wtf w this nonsense, they're more interested in a Constitutional legal argument being resolved than in whether or not Bolton actually testifies? Does he want to testify or not jfc
An attorney for former national security adviser John Bolton and former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman said Friday he is "dismayed" that his clients will not be be compelled to testify in the ongoing House impeachment inquiry after lawmakers declined to issue subpoenas.
Charles J. Cooper, whose clients declined to testify voluntarily, wrote in a letter to House General Counsel Douglas Letter obtained by The Hill that he had hoped to determine in court whether House subpoenas to testify or the White House's assertion of executive privilege took precedence.
"We are dismayed that the Committees have chosen not to join us in seeking resolution from the Judicial Branch of this momentous Constitutional question as expeditiously as possible," Cooper wrote. "It is important both to Dr. Kupperman and to Ambassador Bolton to get a definitive judgment from the Judicial Branch determining their Constitutional duty in the face of conflicting demands of the Legislative and Executive Branches."
"Dr. Kupperman stands ready, as does Ambassador Bolton, to testify if the Judiciary resolves the conflict in favor of the Legislative Branch’s position respecting such testimony," he added.
House Democrats had scheduled Bolton to appear on Thursday, but said they wouldn't issue him a subpoena after he declined to appear.
"Mr. Bolton would take us to court if we subpoenaed him," a House Intelligence Committee official said in a statement.

bolton likely actually believes unitary executive bullshit and while he respects rules enough to preserve his freedom, i imagine he would likely prefer both to avoid testifying and to have this type of executive privilege to be created/blessed by courts.

yeah, the NYT has a similar article with this quote:
"House Democrats have argued that ongoing court proceedings to compel Donald F. McGahn II, the president’s former White House counsel, to testify on other matters should guide Mr. Bolton and Mr. Kupperman. But Mr. Cooper said any final judgment on Mr. McGahn would still not answer the question about whether his clients should testify because they would be asked about national security matters in a way that Mr. McGahn would not be."
Ned Price is speculating that all of this may have more to do with Bolton's book deal than with impeachment (I'm not sure how exactly)
