I can't wait for it to be made into a movie so Trump doesn't have to read it.

Without amazon pushing the kindle version at midnight I doubt the east coast is going to get it in stores tomorrow due to the blizzard.

Setting the kindle version at only $5 less than the hardcover was kind of a dick move. gently caress it, if electronic is $15 I'll pay 20 to have it on my shelf.

There area whole lot of people who think this book is a total lie and wrong. I assume they'll quiet down when the most interested parties refuse to face it in court. Tone is not the same as lies.

I still laugh that Mooch went on record about Bannon being too busy sucking his own cock.

at the date posted:I think the furor over this book will end up undermining the credibility of his opponents lmao if you think this is true. Even if you think the book is 100% fabrication. I'm not embracing just lying all day, but it's hard to imagine how just talking mad poo poo could hurt, given that the administration won with the strategy of "talk mad poo poo, even about science, facts, and my allies"

If anything it seems like Trump's reaction to this book, combined with the unhinged operation of the Whitehouse generally, will only serve to further cement the view of most Americans that the Trump presidency is a total failure? Do you have anyone in mind that this book will reflect negatively on outside of the administration? It's written by a guy they invited in to write a book.about them

So to reply to this from the CE thread:at the date posted:Michael Wolff gets a bunch of second- or third-hand rumors, massages them, punches up the dialogue, publishes it as "now I don't know if this is true or not..." and then, absolutely 100% predictably, dozens of excerpts from his book are reprinted as sourced information. By the time it reaches the average retard like mlmp08, they're slurping it up as fact with basically no discouragement or disclaimer from real journalists. The journalists reporting the "excerpts" are using the same excuse as Wolff himself: we're just reporting on what Wolff said, who is just reporting what [anonymous White House staffer] said, who heard it from someone else, and there is no accountability anywhere. Now, there's no way that every single thing in the book is true-considering the personalities at work in the White House, 100% corroboration even by the best-intentioned reporter is going to be impossible. However, you seem to be dismissing the book wholesale, which I think goes way too far in the opposite direction-I mean, for starters, there's this: https://twitter.com/janicemin/status/949005110671126528 The dude was physically inside the white house for months at a time with unprecedented access, and got a ton of on-the-record and recorded interviews. But most importantly, the book corroborates what basically anyone who's been paying any attention to this administration already knew: Trump is an ineffective and poor leader, the administration is directionless and listless, and the White House has been filled with infighting as different personalities have fought and failed to take control in the vacuum left by Trump. In the end, the book might not be entirely true... but it's almost certainly not entirely false. And while I wouldn't want any Democratic candidate to campaign directly on the claims made within the book, I'm also not going to stop myself from laughing as the administration incompetently flails to try and defend itself against it.

It's also worth noting that Trump's lawsuit seeking to stop the books release and his suit against his ex-top policy advisor only serves to corroborate the contents of the book in the mind of the body public

These people wouldn’t be losing their poo poo so badly if the book was dealing in easy proven half-truths. Not to mention the publisher taking a big shot at a sitting president who is quite fond of suing people.

at the date posted:they aren't scarequotes. "Report" quotes the jacket blurb immediately above it. Okay. "jacket" "it" "above" "blurb" "scarequotes" "immediately" You've yet to provide an ounce of evidence that the author is publishing falsehoods. If the author is, the lawsuits should be really easy.

"Sloppy Joe" would have been better for Joe Scarborough. Sloppy Steve is kinda dumb.

Apparently the last name he gave Bannon was "Bam Bam". Because he's a wife beater.
