Why would anybody read a book by John Bolton? There are millions of better ways to spend your reading.

There's a new book by Woodward to read now...
Because no one is more conservative and has served more conservative administrations in various government positions. The last thing he would want to do is take down a conservative President, adding to his credibility, no matter what you think of him.
Battery-powered face mask seeks to fight COVID and foggy glasses
A South Korean company has invented a battery-powered filtered face mask designed to reduce annoying problems associated with conventional designs, such as breathing difficulties and fogged-up glasses.

Seems interesting... and possibly useful for those living in wildfire areas
Because he snitched on the boss or because he spent the last 40 years advocating, instituting, and/or funding a movement that culminated in the boss.
If I were a troll, like you, I'd say there's no way you can tell who I was talking about. But I won't. It was a silly, fairly harmless (and I thought creative) insult. Stop acting like a petulant child - you sound just like Richie Cunningham, putting everybody on report (and you're old enough to remember that episode from Happy Days).
Saw a clip of Tucker Carlson posing the question “why did Trump even sit with Woodward?”
he then insinuates that the answer can only be that Lindsey Graham (who apparently brokered the meeting) willfully sabotaged the President by introducing him to Woodward. To some, like Tucker, POTUS shouldn’t be held responsible for his own words, blame instead falls on those who set up POTUS with an audience. Accountability-free zone at 1600, the buck stops anywhere but there.
So true, they're more mad that the emperor was shown on tv with no clothes than that the emperor himself decided to prance around with no clothes.
Once again you post something political and think by adding this "can be deleted by mods" or apologize everytime makes it okay. It's laughable. Look at at all those political posts you make. The disclaimer is always there.
The # ONE job of the POTUS is to protect and defend America . He has failed miserably and deliberately at his # one job.
America deserves better.
You may be right, but I think his first priority is selling books.
Time for the thread to be shutdown. One side has now made it entirely political. This thread has outweighed its use. I was called the C word by two posters including the esteemed OP who called me a Dumb C basically in an acronym
How misogynist of him in a thread he claims is serious
Turn out the lights the party is over

The number of new US COVID cases has dropped off a cliff recently ...GREAT News !! From Hopkins; the 7 day average of new cases is down to about 1/3rd of what it was at its peak and is now even below the peak of the first spike in April. Today - 26.4K cases, July Peak - 77.2K, April Peak 33.5K. Looks to me like the curve has been slashed significantly and on its way to being flattened - the US public has embraced what it takes to slow the spread. Pretty clear to me that the worst of this is clearly behind us.
But Argentina appears to be a complete disaster. For a country that has a population similar to California and 8 times smaller than the US, they just reported a 7 day average of over 12K new cases today and their cases are still on a steep upwards slope.

Def good news and I think as you say attributable to the country adjusting it's behaviors in order to limit the spread.
Though looking at Worldometers, with a 7dma of 37K we are still above 50% our July 25th peak of 69K
Also still need to be wary of a late fall/winter "3rd wave".
If he was writing about anything else, you wouldn't trust a word he would say, but now you do. It's laughable.
Ive butted heads with you at times but i do believe you keep it real here and have been valuable to this thread
Yes Argentina like India also has very steady increases in both cases and deaths. But as of right now Argentina actually has a significantly lower deaths per million at 235 then many countries. The US is just below 600 per.
Now South America as a whole has not handled this well. 5 countries in the deaths per million top 10.
Ya, I can fall into the trap and get a little snarky sometimes, but in general I'm just looking to get it right.
I don't like political books, never have, even ones about historical figures, come to think of it I just don't care about biographies even if it's on sports or music figures, and I love non-fiction books.
time to lock this thread.
Its all politics, and the OP is actively engaged in the politics.

The good historical biographies can daunting due to their size(I'm a pretty slow reader) but some of the best books I've read, like Adams, and A Team of Rivals, have been in that genre.
I've wanted to find a good one on Grant but I'm likely going to need to set aside 6 months or more to knock that one out.
Of course you (And TK2) want it to be locked down because neither of you have a cogent or logical response, only the usual TDS, gaslighting, etc. As an independent who’s voted Republican far more than Democrat, I’m open to civil discourse but you guys are just sycophants for “my DT, right or wrong”, a very dangerous position to take now and throughout history.
There is alot of valuable info throughout the thread. May have actually saved some lives. Thanks to everyone.
We all need to post as though we were talking to our mothers. Not hard to do.
I think I read that Adams book, if it's the one you're referring to it was a very long read.
Looks like a lack of adherence to the restrictions, as well as a weak healthcare system are thought to be the major culprits.
Peru Locked Down Early. Now It Battles One Of The Worst Coronavirus Outbreaks
Peru's per capita COVID-19 mortality rate is higher than any nation except for tiny San Marino. The government's awareness campaign slogan is "COVID does not kill by itself. Let's not be accomplices."
Also get some of this:
Mayorga says these show if someone had the virus at some point: "You can have somebody who has [died of] ... something else, but since you have a COVID-19 antibody test, you will be declared as having died of COVID."
Yawn, your act is anciently old, tiresome and pathetic
Go find a safe place and cry in a fetal position, I'm sure you hoarded enough tissues.
You had a chance to run with an informative, non-political thread but you could never help yourself from early on.
Ya, I very much enjoyed it, but def long.
1776 was sort of an accompanying book that was much shorter, and I thought also a very good read.
Politics doesn't belong in this thread. You are bringing a warmonger like Bolton into the thread and he has no business being in it. The discussion about whether Trump is to blame for anything is enitirely political. The OP thinks its fine to denigrate people he doesn't agree with by calling them dumb Cs...so productive
Ya Bolton, or his book, certainly do not belong in this thread.
It's best to keep Trump, Murphy and all the other powers that be out as well, no matter the relevance, because we know where those discussions will go.
