Apparently Trump's efforts to shut the book down only served to promote it.

Maybe trump likes this ? During his campaign, this kind of media attention was always good for him. His base was moved by the sort of "isn't it refreshing that he's not like other people in government ?"

Maybe that will still happen ? It's not like the number of people that think he's unfit for the job has much room to increase. The TPBs (and many others here that I won't name) of the world aren't going anywhere. Although Bannon's comments certainly should give a few of them pause.

Btw, if Bannon didn't say those things, then why did Trump say he's out of his mind ?

Someone aptly said, "Making America Read Again."

I wonder if this will be the biggest selling book of 2018 ?

Great works of Fiction usually do have great sales.

Turn on Fox. It will make you feel better.

Americans love gossip and soaps. I wonder if they will ever outsell the National Enquirer during its heyday.

Have you seen Bannon deny any of it? Bannon was the only smart and non greedy dude on his admin that wanted to raise taxes on the rich. All that Trump has left are greedy people that are looting the treasury.

Somehow I got the feeling this guy got hold of the ink dye pack that Bannon, Trump and Session put in the water to find the leak.
I almost guarantee at this point, this guy's book will play a pivotal role in Trump draining the swamp.

NPR and NYT are almost panicking backpedaling away from it. For the first time in over 20 years those organizations are talking about journalism integrity.
They are both saying Wolfe has crossed the line in every way. But they admit they love reveling in the gossip, but they don't think it's true. They want to believe most of the quotes are true, but not the recounts of the crazy shit Trump is reported to have said or done.

"HARDER! VLAD! MAKE ME FUCKING BLEED!" would be on the lips of every cable news pundit for a year.



A refreshing change after 8 years of the cable news pundits ecstatic pleadings of "HARDER BARRY! MAKE ME FUCKING BLEED!"

You got some parts of this right. IT's an entertaining read, even for many hardcore TrumpCucks, who never really denied Trump's lack of fitness or competence for the job. That's seen by many angry Trumpcucks as a wonderful bonus.

I get it that you're trying super hard to find a way to frame this.

And yes, there are some questions about Wolffs methods and journalistic integrity. But then for the last two years you've been a "the end justifies the means" kind of a guy. After all that's what Trumpism is all about no ?
Wolff was going for a big profit, while also probably feeling that he might save America from itself.

The main parts of your take away that make no sense, are that, one, this is going to be a force in helping Trump clean up the swamp. Hell, we've never had a swamp that holds a candle to the Trump created swamp.

That and the idea, that NYT and NPR don't believe that most of it is true. Quotes and the stuff Trump does.

Although I have wondered whether Trump could be getting a big payday from McDonalds. So much talk about him eating McDonalds, and look at who the typical TrumpCuck is. Sad really, that McDonalds business is going to be way up, but I don't know about American health.

Seriously, you're carrying the weight of worry about morbidly obese junkfood eating americans on your shoulders?

Must be a shortage of toilet paper in the stores, so they need something else to use.

Really? How? He's got Goldman looting the treasury, did not repeal ObamaCare so health premiums are still going up 10% year, and he fired his best supporter Bannon. I bet the Republican establishment throws him under the bus this year now that they got their tax cut for their donors.

Could be the cold out there. They will need something to burn. May as well burn the trash like that silly book.

No, that doesn't mean I can't observe how sad it is that some TrumpCucks who previously had the good sense to minimize their consumption of McDonalds may now change their minds and emulate their idol.

I'm just going to take this and put it on a shelf somewhere.
Wolfe will be just one in a long line of people who destroyed themselves

Goldman looting the Treasury: Wasn't his first pick, and Your guys(The Resisters) rubber stamped him over all of Trump's first picks.


What? Since when? I don't think anyone on this board approved of it.

Tenpoundbass says
If you're stupid enough to go pay that extra 10% you should stop being a Retard you are doing that in spite.


Really, stop paying insurance and gamble with all of net worth because that's how much a serious accident can cost in a hospital?

Tenpoundbass says
As for Bannon getting fired. You remember Lord of the Rings, they had to split up and go their separate directions each with a specific task, where they all met at Mordor to return the ring? Bannon is building an Army of Hobbits and Trolls. While Sessions has been on an Elf hunt, Mueller has been building an Army of Orcs forged from accounting records of former associates.


Bannon was the only nationalist in Trump's cabinet, everyone else is a Swamp creature. Wow, your imagination runs deep.

Bannon's interview in August: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/us/politics/bannon-alt-right-trump-north-korea.html
It was really good and showed that Bannon was the only nationalist in Trump's admin. Basically the only MAGA guy. Everyone that's left is swamp.

You would think TPB knows this, having been the biggest Bannon fanboy I've encountered.

Your insurance is just an illusion you'll get the full bill regardless. NPR just did a story about a business owner from Canada moved to South Florida and wants to set up an export business. He looked into insurance for his 35 employees and found a Deferred Payment plan. Actually it almost didn't exist, so he helped set it up in Florida. Where the coop agrees to pay only 30% above Medicaid. The Hospitals and Doctors were all on board. Employees started using it, the Coop paid what they agreed. The Doctors and Hospitals went after the patients for the remainder in Full. They said in Florida that is perfectly legal, that is why we were taken the Cleaners in 2012 spite having a Cadillac Insurance plan. Cleaned us out of $35,000 plus the $17K we laid out in premiums, plus Copays, Premiums and max out of pocket from Blue Cross Blue Shield. We were told one thing about max out of pocket expenses but paid $35K above and beyond that. When I called the insurance company and suggested fraud was going on. They extorted me, and told me if I did that, no Doctor would ever see us again, and it wouldn't go anywhere anyway. There is no Consumer advocacy for the Insurance consumer in Florida. So yeah, you're all just a bunch of punks pissing your money into Obama's health care folly.

Get Cancer or want to try that new stemcell treatment to cure blindness. 450K per eye. You'll be on the hook for for at least $875K of that $900K doctor bill.
Don't kid yourself. Educate it.
