Well, we’re looking pretty dangerous and idiotic. That’s different from foolish I think.
THE LIBEL LAWS ARE VERY WEAK IN THIS COUNTRY, OK? WE HAVE TO MAKE STRONG, SMART, TOUGH LIBEL LAWS! VERY, VERY STRONG LIBEL LAWS! PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENALTY FOR FAKE NEWS, OK? IT’S REALLY VERY, VERY BAD. SUCH BAD PEOPLE.

This is just another example of a statement that means whatever he wants it to mean.
And people take these up and discuss them as if they had any objective merit.
This comment comes from the last thread…but I caught a new one opened right before posting.
What amazes me about folks calling for Wolff’s tapes and notes is they seem to be denying much of what is in the book is nothing new.
The comments in the book people are making about Trump are comments that have been made about Trump his whole career. He’s always been a spoiled child. Read some history on the guy.
You know what is different now? He is worse. He is getting old and decrepit and he doesn’t care to hold back being an ignorant ass because now he sees he has the power and he probably feels he can say and do anything now because there really does not seem to be repercussion.
And after three years of America seeing His Naked Orange Ass…you still want proof.
The Republican gotta love that. The fog machine works.
So Wolff comes along and reports that yeah, everything we thought is also thought by the people that work for him as President. He is just confirming it and putting it into the context this same man-baby is running our country and the people helping him, who may have doubted it before or thought they could work with him, know it now too.
I think Wolff saw a chance to maybe help America get past the proof stage.
Charles has called Trump a man baby. He has said he is dangerous, petty, ignorant and just about everything else that Trump’s own people are calling him in Wolff’s book. A lot of LGF members have.
Hey Charles? Can we see your notes? Can you provide the tapes that allow you to make these very public statements?
Or, are you doing it the old fashioned way? You are using your eyes, ears and brain and coming to a conclusion that really is no different from everyone else’s conclusion.
Same conclusion as in the book.
Wanting to see the tapes and notes falls into the “let’s give Trump a chance” type of thinking. The benefit of the doubt. That’s what got us here in the first place.

True. But no one did their homework on him and his past. It has been very clear and it has been documented already.
My problem is, for some reason, I’ve read and kept up with him since I first saw crap about him in People magazine while waiting in offices back in the late 70s.

Do you know what scares the living shit out of me?
Emperors, Pharoahs & rulers of the past prepared fabulous tombs for themselves, in some cases actual cities, which they would rule over when they died. To populate these kingdoms, they often executed hundreds of slaves in order to have someone to rule over in the afterlife.
Trump, being the malignant narcissist that he is, can’t imagine a world without him. If he has thought about his own mortality, he can’t bear the idea of not existing any more. He has to have thousands, millions, no BILLIONS of slaves and subjects worshipping him in the afterlife.

He was brought in by their own administration knowing he was writing a book. Why Wolff? Is he Bannon’s BFF? I know trump is full of shit but any access to this administration requires detailed proof or the whole thing is nothing but ammo for them. It’s the president, I demand transparency. It is Wolff I am concerned about and he gets a benefit of a doubt, for now only. He has tapes that prove how dangerous the White House is. If he is concerned about the truth and the dangers, I expect him to release it.

I started reading Fire and Fury today. In the Foreword, Wolff explains that some of the people he interviewed give different and conflicting accounts than some other people, and he is leaving it up to the reader to decide whom to believe. He also claims that he has put together a coherent and truthful narrative based on these accounts and also what he has observed. Trumporrhoids have gleefully cherry picked sentences out of context in order to claim that the entire book is “totally made up.” Of course they do not apply that same level of scrutiny to Clinton Cash.

Since the tragedy of November 2016, I’ve avoided contacting a Republican guy I know.
He sent me this message this morning. I’m really weirded out by this.
As I face a new year I find myself at a crossroads: I would like to know what, if anything, you hope for from our friendship. I have waited patiently for some sign from you that you intend to re-establish communication with me that doesn’t involve accusing me of racism, fascism or some equally serious moral defect.
I will not, cannot, apologize for my political outlook or affiliation. Nor have I done you any wrong. The way I see it, you must decide whether your desire to keep yourself unsullied by associating with a Republican (even one so unwaveringly anti-Trump as I) means more to you than the friendship and acts of kindness I have tried to show you over the years.
The ball is now squarely in your court. Decide. If I do not hear from you within 48 hours I will take it that you have opted for ideological purity.
Either way, as a (former?) friend I will offer one final piece of advice: Be very careful, lest you become the very thing you hate the most: a closed-minded bigot who judges others based on labels and appearances, that than on their character and actions.
Unapologetically yours,
Xxxxxxxx

re: #146 Backwoods_Sleuth
Actually, job gains this year are the worst in 6 years. The Dow gained more in Obama’s first year than Trump’s. The economy grew as fast as this most of the last 8 years.
Obama wouldn’t have to kill for numbers like these, because numbers like these were routine during his Presidency. But he also had declining Federal Deficit every year, too. That won’t happen for Trump.

Really, the last 10-12 years have been an effective refutation of Conservative economic theory. Everything they predicted failed to happen. The Market is not self-regulating. A nationwide housing bubble IS possible. At the Zero Lower Bound, no amount of increase in the Money Supply is inflationary. Enriching the rich does not create jobs. Weimar-style hyperinflation is NOT ‘just around the corner’.

re: #8 ObserverArt
This comment comes from the last thread…but I caught a new one opened right before posting.
What amazes me about folks calling for Wolff’s tapes and notes is they seem to be denying much of what is in the book is nothing new.
The comments in the book people are making about Trump are comments that have been made about Trump his whole career. He’s always been a spoiled child. Read some history on the guy.
You know what is different now? He is worse. He is getting old and decrepit and he doesn’t care to hold back being an ignorant ass because now he sees he has the power and he probably feels he can say and do anything now because there really does not seem to be repercussion.
And after three years of America seeing His Naked Orange Ass…you still want proof.
The Republican gotta love that. The fog machine works.
So Wolff comes along and reports that yeah, everything we thought is also thought by the people that work for him as President. He is just confirming it and putting it into the context this same man-baby is running our country and the people helping him, who may have doubted it before or thought they could work with him, know it now too.
I think Wolff saw a chance to maybe help America get past the proof stage.
Charles has called Trump a man baby. He has said he is dangerous, petty, ignorant and just about everything else that Trump’s own people are calling him in Wolff’s book. A lot of LGF members have.
Hey Charles? Can we see your notes? Can you provide the tapes that allow you to make these very public statements?
Or, are you doing it the old fashioned way? You are using your eyes, ears and brain and coming to a conclusion that really is no different from everyone else’s conclusion.
Same conclusion as in the book.
Wanting to see the tapes and notes falls into the “let’s give Trump a chance” type of thinking. The benefit of the doubt. That’s what got us here in the first place.
Wolff’s book is the new birthism. He could provide video evidence of the events discussed, and someone will find a fault.

Then it’s another 1 hour 15 minutes of “Executive Time” followed by a 45 minute meeting with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

As a reader for me it is okay. The software takes up room so that you actually have less space. I put videos on mine and it was okay. My personal complaint was that any prime show amazon kept reminding me to reconnect to my wi-fi to watch the movie/show after a 48(?) hour period.

Wolff knew that the only book that would guarantee success is one that mocked Trump. In any case, he understood what Trump was like before he got access. I doubt he actually did a bait and switch; my guess is that he may have promoted the project using flattery but no outright lies.

He’s not simply mocking if he’s accurately reporting what happened in the White House.
It sounds like he got access partially because Trump liked the photo that he used for one of his interviews.

I don’t know. Remember how panicked we were early last year. We were pretty close to believing that Bannon was going to use Trump to end democracy by the end of February. Wolff’s said that he went in to document this well honed organization that managed to defeat Clinton and instead found chaos.

The only area of friction was suture contests — civilians thought they should use rulers to judge by how short and straight the scars might be, military thought they should use stopwatches to judge by how many they could close in 2 minutes.

As I face a new year I find myself at a crossroads: I would like to know what, if anything, you hope for from our friendship. I have waited patiently for some sign from you that you intend to re-establish communication with me that doesn’t involve accusing me of racism, fascism or some equally serious moral defect.
I will not, cannot, apologize for my political outlook or affiliation. Nor have I done you any wrong. The way I see it, you must decide whether your desire to keep yourself unsullied by associating with a Republican (even one so unwaveringly anti-Trump as I) means more to you than the friendship and acts of kindness I have tried to show you over the years.
The ball is now squarely in your court. Decide. If I do not hear from you within 48 hours I will take it that you have opted for ideological purity.
Either way, as a (former?) friend I will offer one final piece of advice: Be very careful, lest you become the very thing you hate the most: a closed-minded bigot who judges others based on labels and appearances, that than on their character and actions.
Unapologetically yours,
Xxxxxxxx
Dude sounds like a haughty, self-important asshole; if you’re gonna break it completely off, go ahead and give him what for, but don’t just ignore him on this one.
The fact that they were the ones that brought up “racism, fascism or some equally serious moral defect” says to me that they know guilty as sin or, at the very least, tolerant of these when it suits them and that they know they’re wrong, but to admit they’re wrong is unacceptable to them.

It’s a tough situation. I usually go for preserving a friendship if possible; you never know when a situation can change and you can be the one to help him. I have retained some friendships by avoiding political conversations but always making clear if a topic arises that my views are different. We agree to disagree, and focus on topics (such as family or, sometimes, economics) where we have either mutual perspectives or can discuss without acrimony.

Trump starting workday later to spend more time watching TV and tweeting: report
President Trump is starting his official workday later and spending more time in the mornings watching TV and tweeting, Axios reported Sunday.
Trump’s day is now starting around 11 a.m. and he is also holding far fewer meetings during his workday, Axios reported after viewing copies of Trump’s private schedule.
The first part of Trump’s day is known as “Executive Time.” According to the schedule, it takes place in the Oval Office, but officials told Axios it actually takes place in the White House residence and consists of Trump watching TV and tweeting.
Trump reportedly arrives in the Oval Office for his intelligence briefing at 11 a.m., his first meeting of the day. He also returns to the residence by 6 p.m.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushed back against the report, saying Trump’s “time in the morning is a mix of residence time and Oval Office time but he always has calls with staff, Hill members, cabinet members and foreign leaders during this time.”
“The President is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen and puts in long hours and long days nearly every day of the week all year long. It has been noted by reporters many times that they wish he would slow down because they sometimes have trouble keeping up with him,” she said in a statement to Axios.
Trump’s schedule is significantly shorter than those of past presidents. Former President George W. Bush would arrive in the Oval Office by 6:45 a.m., and former President Obama would arrive between 9 and 10 a.m. after his morning workout.
The New York Times reported that Trump spends up to 8 hours a day watching television, which Trump has disputed.
“But I don’t get to watch much television. Primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents. A lot,” Trump told reporters last year. “I actually read much more — I read you people much more than I watch television.”

The Stones did everything they could to promote the artist that they learned from.
And to be fair, there were American artists who did this too. The worked within the confines the 50s and 60s culture placed on them, but some of them pushed through.

To me, there is one reason and one reason only why Drumpf still sits in the office of President. That is because the vast majority of conservatives WON’T PICK UP THE PHONE TO TELL THEIR REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND CONGRESSPERSONS THAT THEY HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS CLOWNSHOW. They can’t even be bothered to do that. They are 100% complicit by their inaction. The house is on fire, and they do nothing. Beneath contempt.

Not just that I mean for fuck’s sake, culture works by riffing on what’s already there. However brilliant something might sound to our frame of reference, chances are it wouldn’t even work half as good if not for the target audience’s familiarity with (a bunch of) the referenced and not-quite-so-referenced material that directly preceded it.
It’s bad enough we’ve gone completely insane on IP law pretty much around the globe but let’s not let that stubborn refusal to acknowledge how iterative improvement is actually how culture inherently comes about get any further out of hand than it has already :/
//and don’t even get started on that ‘cultural appropriation’ BS. Geesh. Sometimes I really wonder how/why western civilisation hasn’t been devoured by its own stupidity yet :/

re: #236 The Vicious Babushka
Yes, Trump is taking credit erroneously.
But that graph has it’s own propagandistic qualities:
1) it uses a logarithmic scale for the y-axis. Now, that is probably a good choice for important analyses, but it does make the later changes seem to be less. But the casual viewer of that is probably not aware that it makes the recent change in the DJIA look different than changes 9 years ago.
2) the x-axis stops the actual graph now several weeks short of where we are today.
re: #230 Belafon
Someone made an interesting point about the WikiLeaks upload of the book: They could have modified it, adding some fake stories or tweaking some of the existing ones.
The more important thing about the DJIA is that it may be predicting increasing inflation.

I’m wondering what Miller thought he was going to accomplish by refusing to leave the CNN set.
Was he going to call Tapper out? I figure Jake would have kicked his ass cold if it came to that.

It has been noted by reporters many times that they wish he would slow down because they sometimes have trouble keeping up with him,” she said in a statement to Axios.

So now @wikileaks is engaged in outright copyright fraud in publishing the full text of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury”. If that doesn’t make @JulianAssange and that whole crew pure criminals, I don’t know what does….

re: #203 gocart mozart
So we have as panelists a pervy lawyer, a @realDonaldTrump suck-up, a criminal Colonel trading arms for hostages during Iran-Contra, Shrub’s Press Secretary and a hypocritical gambler for a host and they have their own show on @FoxNews. Just how much lower do we have to sink ?
