For the record, the "Mexican" quip was a silly reference to Gonzalo Curiel.

You know as well as I do that this will not get anywhere, at least in here and other heavily right wing circles. Hopefully there's some independents out there (actual independents, not just ppl who almost exclusively vote republican but insist on calling themselves independents) who will take some of this on board, not that any of it is a surprise to anyone actually paying attention.

Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostOnce again Trump loses in court. Judge says Bolton can publish his book.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth sternly criticized Bolton’s reckless behavior with his memoir but acknowledged that it was too late to stop the book from publication.
“Defendant Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States,” Lamberth wrote in his court memorandum. “He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil (and potentially criminal) liability.”
The judge argued that since the book had already been printed, shipped, and obtained by media outlets, the court would not order the dramatic step of seizing and destroying all copies of the memoir.
“By the looks of it, the horse is not just out of the barn — it is out of the country,” he wrote.
The judge argued that a single person could publish the entire book on the Internet, even if the court tried to block the publication of the memoir.
“With hundreds of thousands of copies around the globe — many in newsrooms — the damage is done,” he wrote. “There is no restoring the status quo.
Lamberth said that Bolton’s rush to publication could expose himself to further government lawsuits if the book did include classified information.
“This was Bolton’s bet: If he is right and the book does not contain classified information, he keeps the upside mentioned above; but if he is wrong, he stands to lose his profits from the book deal, exposes himself to criminal liability, and imperils national security,” he wrote. “Bolton was wrong.”

If it is found that Bolton's book contains even a single sentence of classified material, then he won't get a dime.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

"This was Bolton’s bet: If he is right and the book does not contain classified information, he keeps the upside mentioned above; but if he is wrong, he stands to lose his profits from the book deal, exposes himself to criminal liability, and imperils national security. Bolton was wrong."
If that's Bolton winning then I can't wait to see what it looks like when he loses!Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

To make a much less serious analogy: When I was in college, the student newspaper printed a full "shake sheet" before every home basketball game that we would hold up and shake when the other team's starting lineup was announced. One year, when we played Kansas State, they printed a picture of their coach, Bob Huggins (who had been arrested for DUI) in a prison outfit. Huggins demanded the paper be retracted, but what were they going to do? Go to every dorm room and demand everyone hand it over?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
