1. If people (liberals) believe this book will be strongly anti-trump, they need a reality check.

He'll attempt to re-write history with the Bush admin and double down on his long held and dangerous world views.

I feel like Bolton attacking Trump only helps Trump, and himself.

Fuck his book.

People should not be able to profit from withholding evidence of treason and corruption to put it in a book instead of offering it to investigators.

He had his time to stop up and refused. He's just another anti-American worker fascist who hates the working class and poor.

to be much like putting a noose around his own neck.

I predict, in the weeks after it is published, people will be asking why he helped Trump shut down the pandemic team. And people, it's time to ask the follow-up question: Why did you shut down the pandemic research team without having something suitable to replace it? Why is Trump shutting down so many important agencies, without having a quick remedy to replace it?

Why is no one asking him these questions?

8. Alternatively, why have Republicans been obsessed with obliterating Obamacare...........

when they’ve had all nearly a decade to come up with something better and have absolutely nothing to show for their bluster.

They always seem to want to destroy, rather than improve. If the status quo in healthcare was so good, why do 70% of Americans want a change for the better?

The answer is obvious. Its what Republicans are - destroyers, not builders.

Why this isn’t obvious to those of limited means is beyond me. I’ve written several lengthy diatribes on FB lately to the “working class” Republicans asking why they vote to maintain their own suppression, and it’s usually one big cause; guns, abortion, big government, etc. It makes no sense to me why people actually VOTE to be represented by politicians who DO NOT WANT THEM TO VOTE, want to keep them subservient to big money, deny them the same kind of healthcare that nearly all modernized nations offer, taking their hard earned money and handing it over to a class of people who honestly don’t need it, but just want it. Call me naive, but I just don’t understand the logic of voting for a party that wants to keep you suppressed.

Excuse me. I posted this to the wrong blog. Damn!
