Looks like the vote was 14-sided to me. The best Israel could have done would have been 14-1-0, instead of 14-0-1.

The good news is that Netanyahu and Trump ought to get along just fine. Bibi didn’t get his way in the UN, so he declares he’s yanking his UN funds. Sounds exactly like something Trump would say.

Ooh, snap, 8 million bucks. Out of the 3 billion we give the self-reliant asshole every year.

I think this one is going to win the thread. Some asshole has actually written a book about murdering Donald Trump and has it up on Amazon.

Any reason to think the author is a liberal?

Who is Sam Bower? Is he a liberal?

ETA: from the short description it looks like a terrible attempt at a thriller rather than a political novel, but I dunno. Maybe the would-be assassin is the bad guy, and Trump wrestles the gun away from him with his teeny tiny hands. Or maybe Trump strikes a deal with the assassin and pays him to kill Putin or something?

In short, do we know anything about this book beyond the title?

Same reason Hillary Clinton is a “felon”. It fits his warped narrative.

The Amazon description says Melania is the assassin, in her role as a deep-cover Communist agent. One would have to read the thing to find out what took her so long, so somebody else will have to do it. Google has nothing for this “Sam Bower” character. Maybe a pseudonym?

Hey, **Clothy** , which of your raving-loony sites found this completely-obscure crap and got you all indignant and shit?

Huh. I didn’t see that part about her being a deep cover Communist agent. Maybe I get a truncated description on the mobile version or something. Anyway, having the president be the target of Communists doesn’t sound like a particularly liberal plot. Sounds like a Cold War throwback.

I tried websearching the book title. Looks like **Clothy** is the _only_ person on the web talking about the book. It is almost like he is diligently seeking out things to get pissed about. No one cares about this e-pub. _No One_.

That was the idea that was supposed to win this thread. Perhaps you could give it a little more creedence.

The publisher of the book is shown as “Sarossa”. No other books from that publisher are on Amazon. The only publisher by that name I could find is one in the UK that was incorporated this May. The two people associated with that publisher are Sarah and Ross Bowmaker. The company is in the UK

> **[SAROSSA PUBLISHING LIMITED filing history - Find and update company...](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10169219/filing-history)**
>
> SAROSSA PUBLISHING LIMITED - Free company information from Companies House including registered office address, filing history, accounts, annual return, officers, charges, business activity

Im not sure if that’s the source of this book. I am sure that this “Stupid Liberal Idea” is remarkably weak tea.

That was my hunch as well: **Sa** rah\*\*(m)\*\* **Bow** mak **er**. But I’m not sure that the Sarossa I found is the right one. The Sarah Bowmaker listed as a writer with Sarossa is an Irish citizen, and I found a Twitter account for an Irish Sarah Bowmaker that didn’t appear to be too political. So… I dunno.

But whoever wrote it, they are definitely a stupid liberal, amirite? And this is still the threadwinner! A 63-page book no one has noticed, written by someone no one has ever heard of. Libs suck!!
