Sweet, and Sweeter. Bolton Skewers Trump, Bolton Skewers Bolton.


The White House attempt to block publication of John Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened,"  has failed. The judge hearing the case said 'that horse is out of the barn.' There's nothing the court can do now to stop its distribution because copies of it are in the hands of too many reviewers, a lot of them offshore.

Good that the book is out but Bolton is still as odious as ever. That's where the 'sweeter' comes in. CNN legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, believes Bolton won't see a dime from that book. There's strong precedent that, where someone writes and publishes a book that hasn't been government cleared, the courts will require them to surrender any royalties or other income associated with the book.  You don't meet the technical rules, you don't get to keep anything, not a penny.

Perhaps Boulton has more principals ( that many of us do not share) than we would believe?
Maybe he has written the book to right what he sees as a wrong?
Other than that he really is the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

.. Lost in the underbrush.. or as I call it 'wandering in the bewilderness' is a dirt simple fact. American (Great Again) conciousness or concience (if any) is now bumfuddled at the simplistic challenge of determining Right from Wrong. Barr just drives the nail home.. as Trump Inc try to establish it (the confusion) as 'acceptable collatoral damage' .. and welcome to Tulsa eh..

Barr is the new and strident evangelical Benedict Arnold.. Trump Inc & Family LLC merely a useful idiot & doddering fool footnote.. Tea Party in The WHITE House.. the Mad Hatters preside. It explodes far beyond Alice in Wonderland.. its FULL ON ANIMAL FARM NOW..

oink ..

Ah, Bolton. Definitely smarter than Trump. Definitely has a much longer attention span than Trump. But also one of the few people who would have actually made a worse president than Trump. Can you imagine? By now we'd be at war with Iran and would have tried for a decapitating strike on North Korea which would have caused a nuclear exchange with North Korea that left Seoul, Pyongyang, much of North Korea and maybe Tokyo radioactive craters.

No, I can't imagine Bolton as president. That's a very dark scenario.
