I read that lovely, lovely book on a dare in Korea I think? Good loving god drat is that a seriously terrible, terrible book. Writing style, mechanics, characters, plot...everything is just god drat terrible. The bet ended up a tie because I suffered through everything else but I just could not bring myself to read the entire batch of printed diarrhea that was Galt's speech. 64 god drat pages of absolute poo poo, splashed on the pages.

I only dared him to read the first Twilight book. I think I got the short end of that bet, should have been the entire series to get the same kind of suffering.

Made a guy on my boat read Ghost in return for me reading twilight, I know I definitely got the better deal in that trade, but would explain my karma of repeatedly being given that series as unrelated gifts.

Trump supporters don't blame him for bill failure. Here are some of the quotes that are pretty much standard fare for these deluded people time and time again, across numerous articles and interviews:

"He isn’t one to give up, or he wouldn’t be a billionaire.”

But he’s not giving up on the president: “My expectations are that they would repeal it. That’s what he said. That’s what he ran on. That’s what I believe his intentions are.”

“No matter what happens, the media tries to side it one way,” she said. “They don’t give a clear picture of what’s going on.”

“I really don’t think people are trying to help Trump. We need to unify,” she said. “We need to give him a chance.”

“It’s going to be rough,” he said, “but I think eventually the new president will be the best we’ve ever had.”

So, Donnie confused a lot of people by saying "Watch Jeanine Pirro at 9PM!" earlier today.

It was especially confusing because Pirro then basically trashed Ryan, saying he needed to step down as Speaker of the House, and trashed Reince Preibus too.

Now it all makes sense.

https://twitter.com/fackinpeter/status/845845620539772928

In the morning, Fox News was running a banner promising TRUMP WIRETAP CLAIMS, SHOCKING NEW DETAILS during the Pirro show.

As if there needed to be another nail in Uber'so coffin, it's come out that Uber's CEO took out an upper management team to a Seoul strip club/escorts service.

This upper management team included a female marketing manager. Then, with the recent sexual harassment scandal, they called her and asked her to emphasize that she had a good time. She did not. And she said as much

In case it's not clear, Donnie was watching Fox News in the morning. Seeing that they were going to supposedly backup his "wiretapp" bullshit, he then blasted a message out to all of his followers to watch the 9PM Fox News show, even though he had no idea what was going to be in it. Turns out, what was in it was a lot of trashing Ryan/Priebus.

So, once again, Fox News is literally dictating what Donnie then posts on twitter. Better, Donnie has been playing the NOT RYAN'S FAULT card for two full days, then blew it up with that tweet.

And if that's not enough content, check out this tweet from the past: https://twitter.com/newtgingrich/status/310167482142978049

That part came across. What's loving with me now is whether or not Fox fully realizes that Trump is an avid viewer. They have to know by now that he will literally act on a whim based around whatever it is he sees on the screen; there's no way their influence is an unknown after they gagged Napolitano. So I wonder: was there any malice to all this, or just another morbid comedy of errors?

Holzwarth also allegedly had a recent exchange with Kalanick in which she explained how Michael’s call had upset her and she asked if Kalanick might consider stepping down from his CEO position. Kalanick suggested that 2,000 employees might want him to go, but more than 10,000 want him to stick around. “You’ll know when you’re a mother,” he reportedly said.

I was reading an article that claimed that Russians view Putin the same way. When the system succeeds it's due to him, when it fails it's due to bureaucrats/liberals/media/whatever. The Fundamental Attribution Error, but projected.

Yeah he's a legit knowledgeable dude. His book on Iraqi former regime elements that turned into insurgent groups was groundbreaking and was awesome.

He's a great author. He also was interviewed on SpyCast and dropped a lot of knowledge.

IIRC he's a huge hardcore conservative but he's smart as hell otherwise.
