Obvious maladies: prepublication reviews and Trump’s Bolton problem : Comments
By Binoy Kampmark, published 23/6/2020It was another atrocious week for US President Donald Trump, whose efforts to prevent the publication of his former national security adviser's memoir seemed more than a touch childish.

mhaze,
>Trump only has a Bolton problem among those who choose to believe Bolton's fairy-tales. Unfortunately for Trump, people who believe fairy tales are his base. Posted by Aidan, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 3:14:57 PM

So what if a million phony requests were sent in ? The people who genuinely wanted to turn up would have turned up, regardless.
In fact, if they had been told that a million people might come, surely they would have been even more enthusiastic about turning up ? How many did turn up eventually ? Around 6,200. Bring on the elections :) Joe Posted by loudmouth2, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 5:18:37 PM

“Organizing for Action” (OFA).
Just received an email about this organisation headed by former POTUS Obama.One of the lines in this lengthy report says; OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution Posted by individual, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 11:50:55 AM

“Trump is very similar. He just fired all of the inspectors general who were put into place to monitor corruption and malfeasance in executive offices. They were beginning to inquire into this fetid swamp that he’s created in Washington, so he fired them all. And like any tin-pot dictator, he went out of his way to humiliate the senior Republican senator, Charles Grassley, who had spent his career setting this system in implementation. Not a peep from the Republican Party. They’ve disappeared as a party. It’s worse than the old Communist Party. The leader gives an order; we [fall] on our knees.”
“There has never been a figure in political history who was so passionately dedicated to destroying the projects for organized human life on earth in the near future.” “That is not an exaggeration. People are focused now on the protests; the pandemic is serious enough that we will emerge from it at terrible cost. The cost is greatly amplified by the gangster in the White House, who has killed tens of thousands of Americans, making this the worst place in the world [for the coronavirus]. We will emerge [from the pandemic, but] we’re not going to emerge from another crime that Trump has committed, the heating of the globe. The worst of it is coming — we’re not going to emerge from that.” “Take Richard Nixon. Pretty rotten guy, but when the time came that he had to leave office, he left office quietly. Nobody is expecting that with Trump. He doesn’t act like a human being. He’s off somewhere else. He [doesn’t] even make appointments that can be confirmed by the Senate. Why bother? I don’t like somebody, I’ll throw them out. One Republican, Lisa Murkowski, dares to raise a small question about his nobility, [and he] came down on her with a ton of bricks — I’m going to destroy you. It’s not fascism. It’s what I said before: tin-pot dictator of some small country where they have coups every couple of years. That’s the mentality.” http://jacobinmag.com/2020/06/noam-chomsky-donald-trump-coronavirus-george-floyd-protest Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 12:36:38 PM

Individual,
Christ, I would hope so, that as many people as possible are concerned about the direction that the US is going, i.e. down the plug-hole. Thank god for patriots like Obama, I wish them and the US well. Joe Posted by loudmouth2, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 12:52:41 PM

If those who showed are indicative of current support? Then bring on the November elections.
And see runner's most recent commentary proved, just not as he/she obviously envisaged?
But hey, That's the hugely divided USA, so expected the entirely unexpected, like say, a late run by Bernie and a win against all the odds?
