I'm currently working on a TV show that doesn't premiere till May. It very much exists. I watch it every single day, sometimes multiple times as we continue working on episodes.

Books don't magically write themselves the very moment they hit the shelves. You're a lot of things, but you're really not this stupid.

We're talking here about the EXACT DETAILS alleged by the New York Slimes. Can anyone know the exact details of series episodes which they are still "working on"? How can the New York Slimes know the same kind of information about Bolton's book which is still being worked on?

It's what moral people call a "lie". But you wouldn't know about that.

Yes scripts and early versions of cuts gets get distributed, sometimes widely. We do what we can to prevent leaks but they do happen.

I don't work in publishing but I imagine it's not much different. When the New York Times has a review published in advance of the release of a new book do you think their critic read all 400 pages and wrote the review that morning? Of course not, they read an advance copy furnished by the publisher that they likely got weeks before the book was released. Further, in cases like this of national security the whitehouse and intel community get copies in advance and have the ability to classify various elements of said book for national security reasons. It's likely that this leak came from within the whitehouse itself, it's been leaking like a civ for three years now.

"Still being worked on" can literally mean in the hands of an editor. If it ships in March that's not far off. It's gotta be locked and off to the press for distribution soon. Stick to what you know, eating like a carnivore.

This just in...

John F. Kelly, the former chief of staff to President Trump, told an audience in Florida on Monday night that he believed the revelations in an upcoming book by John R. Bolton, the president’s former national security adviser, and thought the Senate should call witnesses in the impeachment trial.




What did Trump expect? Stab everyone around him in the back and think they'd all stay loyal. He's got another thing coming. This isn't the deep state, or his political opposition. It's his inside people that he hired.

But he was just COS. Trumby hardly knew him. Also......do you guys love how the "no firsthand witnesses" narrative was vaporized in the last few days?

Ok, so we’ve officially reached the “yeah, he did it but it’s not impeachable” phase.

GOP is no longer denying that Trumby withheld aid in return for a political favor from a foreign government.

Moscow Mitch was blindsided by the Bolton story, the WH had the transcript for about a month already but didn’t inform Mitch.

can’t wait until we reach the “who knew what and when” phase.

he and the child rapist Dershowitz did come up with a good last minute cover to GOP Senators saying "even if it's true, it's not impeachable".

English isn't your first language, is it? Do you understand the difference between "even if it's true, it's not impeachable", and "even if it WERE true, it's not impeachable"?

Yea, the difference is tense. " If it were true", means some it was true some time in the past. "If if is true" means it could currently be true.

I don't care if tRump was a criminal yesterday, today , or tomorrow. His nature is to be a criminal.

I want him in jail yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Do you feel better now Squidley? Will you feel better tomorrow?
