John Bolton plans to publish a tell-all about his time in the White House in late June
WaPo through MSN so no paywall!

TLDR: Trump is so ****ed.

The WH has been fighting to stop it until after the election but it seems like Bolton has seen all these prominent Republicans come out against Trump and get support for it so what does he have to lose? All Trump can do is cry about it on Twitter.

Yeah, it's an easy way to get rich. The MSM will make a big deal out of the "bombshells" for a week or two before it all fizzles out again.

I hate the acronym MSM. Makes me think of Alex Jones.

"Dear diary." Tell us more about things that trigger you.

You do know that retroactive classification is a thing do you not?

And it just so happens that the most common punishment for publishing classified material is complete loss of any revenue.

So the mustache that roared will get his book out but I doubt that Trump will let him collect a penny.

“He’s Going to Broom Kushner and Parscale”: “Malignantly Crazy” About Bad Poll Numbers, Trump Is Thinking of Replacing His Son-In-Law

After a botched response to two national crises, Trump’s polls are cratering, and “no one is telling him what he wants to hear,” says a source, igniting a new round of grumbling about Kushner.

Vanity Fair

But they have discovered a way to make him feel netter!

Trump Camp Runs Ads on D.C. Cable to Ease the Boss’ Anxieties and Buck Up Congressional GOPers

The president has been worried about his standing electorally. So his team gave him some content to watch on his favorite cable networks.

The Daily Beast

Quote:
With their boss growing increasingly agitated with the state of his re-election campaign and with the efforts of Republican critics to undermine it, President Donald Trump’s team hatched a plan. They’d run a series of hard-hitting ads and place them on networks that they knew the president and congressional Republicans would watch.

And so, over the past month, the Trump campaign has spent slightly more than $400,000 on cable news ads in the Washington, D.C., area, buying time largely on Fox News but with some smaller buys on CNN and MSNBC as well, according to filings with the Federal Communications Commission. The ads began running in late May and are scheduled through June 23. It is, on a purely electoral level, a remarkably quixotic use of campaign cash. The purchases have no real shot of moving D.C., Maryland, or Virginia into the Trump column....

I've been opposed to the continued use of any style of the CSA flag being flown on any public land. Nothing I can do about private land, Constitution and all.

The Confederate flag is the flag of an enemy nation, they lost, people need to get over it.

I'm not 100%, but maybe someone can confirm, does any public or government building and/or agency in Germany fly the Nazi flag?

There is a statuary hall in the capitol. Each state may place two statue in it. I would be shocked if there weren't at least six "heroes of the confederacy" among them.

@Viciouss

sorry just to be clear ~ the old confederate flag isn't being flown over the capitol building. There's just a bunch of depictions throughout it.

The flag is flown over the welcome centers.

To me the whole concept of maintaining the history of the confederate flag etc goes entirely against the concept of the United States of America.

It does! It represents the states that wanted to secede from the Nation, so much so that they built an army and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. We eventually won, but Lincoln chose to forgive them during the Reconstruction following the war. Their leaders should have all been hanged for treason, certainly not honored with statues for their "bravery" in attacking America.

Justice Department dropping Flynn case is 'a gross abuse of prosecutorial power,' court-appointed lawyer says
CNN

Quote:
...
"The facts surrounding the filing of the Government's motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump," Gleeson wrote to US District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Wednesday.

The Justice Department "abdicated that responsibility" to prosecute defendants without fear or favor, Gleeson wrote, by "attempting to provide special treatment to a favored friend and political ally of the President of the United States," capturing what many critics of Attorney General William Barr and Trump, especially in the legal community, have alleged.
"It has treated the case like no other, and in doing so has undermined the public's confidence in the rule of law," he wrote....

TLDR: BUSTED!!!

If anyone has the time or interest ~ this guy has a good rebuttal video about about Prager University's take on how and why the American Civil War started:

YouTube Video Placeholder

The narrator goes into details about specific dates, quotes and reasons why the conflict occurred, what was the response in America as well as Europe and at the end he asks some tough questions to the proponents that the civil war was started because of slavery.

on a separate side note ~ i love seeing people compare US citizens or certain government buildings in the south having the CSA flags vs why no building in Germany has a nazi flag. ~ well first off the confederacy didn't kill 6+ million people just based on ethnicity/religion...

Trump campaign demands CNN retracts poll, quickly rejected.

Quote:
President Trump's reelection campaign has sent a cease and desist letter to CNN president Jeff Zucker demanding that the network retract its recent poll showing Trump trailing Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden by 14 points.

The demand from the campaign was quickly rejected by CNN spokesman Matt Dornic on Wednesday.

"We stand by our poll," Dornic said in a story from CNN reporting on the Trump campaign's demand.

Trump and his campaign have lashed out over the CNN poll, which was conducted by SSRS and released earlier this week. The survey showed Trump trailing the former vice president by a 55 percent to 41 percent margin among registered voters.

Just saw this, got a good laugh. Trump's numbers are plummeting everywhere, the last two weeks of either fanning the flames or just sitting out the crisis have done a lot of damage to him.
