Trump sues to block Bolton book

If Bolton was doing this after being fired by Obama, conservatives would be calling him a patriot.
I know, none of them will ever admit it, but we all know it's true.

I think you just spoke for yourself.
Under today’s rules a person can be taken down for something they said twenty years ago, yet if they said things their entire life and suddenly said one thing that appealed to the convenience of a tribe they are lionized.
This is the party of the “intellectuals”.

You honestly believe all the Obama haters would be criticising Bolton?

And that one careful owner is a nice old lady who drives over the bridge only once a week to go to church.

It's just people being people. The idea that Republicans and Democrats are somehow fundamentally different is very quaint and all, and I'm sure it makes both groups feel better about themselves at 4 o'clock in the morning when they awaken screaming at the void that was once their soul, but they're just people.
I was only joking

Uh, no. And I mean that.
As a very general rule, the Dem 's belief system is based much more on "feelings". Not to say the Far Right doesn't generate its share of wackos, but I think you'll find a little more thought and a tad more logic in Republicans and many Independents.

Forget the people and look at the ideology. They are polar opposites. If the leadership of the Republican party started pulling us in the direction of extremist views on the right, most all republicans would refuse to go along with it. That's because the Right is by and large committed to a set of values. Politics or ideology must conform to those standards. The Left on the other hand are committed to an ideology. Their values shift depending on which direction the ideology takes. We are watching it happen as I speak. The Democrat Party is dead. All that remains of it is the name and the political machinery. It is now used as an umbrella tag covering dozens upon dozens of little special interest groups, and bound loosely together by a religion called Progressivism. The Left has no values, no principles. Those are supplied by the ideology, determined by the saints and apostles of the religion of Progressivism.
You're correct that the average Joe is as a person, pretty much the same regardless of political party. That ends once that I individual has to confront his ideological self. Then they become completely different animals.

Suddenly and out of nowhere we are compelled to #believebolton.
Please ignore everything we previously wrote about him.
You can’t make this up.
I never complained about his honesty rather his extreme hawkish to the point of trigger-happy foreign policy views. Trump came around to my view eventually.
But to your question, who do you think is more trustworthy in his assessment of the conversations covered in the book, Trump or Bolton?

Bump for Loki.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Never look at what a politician says, look at what he does.
Even his wife tells Trump he needs to back away from Twitterland.

It should be expected that people will self-select into their political affiliation based on real differences. If real differences exist, no matter how minor, the split between the platforms of the two parties will gravitate towards those differences. The left being the side for movement and change, requires more social persuasion than the right, and that persuasion ends up being various shades of outright coercion rather than mere persuasion. I.e. enforced group-think, which we've been seeing all around us. Always using the good vs evil framing of every issue, with the understanding that evil people won't have an easy time of it in this life, socially or economically.
-
For most normal/sane people, there's a spectrum of political thought, not just an A/B choice, and then defend party to the death.
We need more choices.

I think the Democratic party has some life left in it simply based on the fact that they put Joe Biden up rather than someone far more left. But it keeps moving further leftward all the time.

-
Much of that alleged black and white thinking is imposed on others unfairly. Many of us have difficulty distinguishing voting for the other side, from agreeing with everything and everybody on that side. Again that comes back to which sides requires more coerced group-think to keep itself coherent, and I think that's the left.

The reason they stood Biden up is because he wants to go down in history as a president, and being aware that he's not capable of it, he will be more than happy to do photo ops and regurgitate what he's told to say and let those running the party make the decisions.

@jon-nyc I agree with you. I never like John Bolton, and did not like his attitude, his policies, and how he handled things. But, I do think he probably is telling most of the truth in what he re-says in teh book.
Does that not worry anybody that the US president is like this?
President Trump: UK is a nuclear power???
President Trump: Is Finland part of Russia???Ouch!!!

I read it. If that's what Boltons book is claiming, then Bolton is going to look like a stone cold fool.
