    Wolff's candy seems to be simply irresistible to some sugar fiends.

    Here's what we know:

    So he's coming up with his own narrative using sources that are lying but he's not ENTIRELY sure which ones. Also, how exactly does one detail how someone was thinking?

    He really is at Lena Dunham levels of trustworthiness here. Bob Woodward he ain't.

    How did Maddow torpedo her stance with Trump's tax return? And read the book before you come to conclusions. People will believe
    what they perceive to be true and you have credibility on that score due to Trump's inept handling of the Presidency and his choice of advisors (generals excepted).

    MSM ACTUALLY said that?!?

    I dunno where you work, but if I had a colleague who lied 80% of the time, he'd likely be avoided like the plague and then fired by the end of the year.

    What bothers me is that being accurate only 20% of the time may very well be the new standard of quality for the Legacy Media.

    I don't know if he is either, that's why I used the "if" qualifier. It's a moot point either way as the anti-Trumpers are rallying behind this book as if he was one of them. *shrugs*

    I think what you should do is watch the clip instead of cherry picking and actually get the context. I know it's hard, but 2-3 clicks will get you there.

    Good to see that the Republican snakes are beginning to bite themselves.

    You know, rather than pounding this drum about what's credible/ not credible you should read the book to find out.

    What does this comment have to do with this book? Read it first, but this statement has been out there for a long time a
    This book is not a bowl of candy. Silly. Every book of this type that has ever been written has flaws, obviously.

    Long story short: She was skewered for spending 20-ish minutes hyping the big reveal only to end up with a couple pages from years ago that ultimately proved Trump paid more in taxes than Sanders. A lot of people thought that Trump secretly set her up to look like a fool, and I can't blame people for thinking that. She essentially made a mockery of the Trump Taxes story with her ineptitude.

    That was a sarcastic remark by MSN during a discussion of the book. We already know what a mess the Whitehouse is based upon
    the losers that come and go and the "fake" leaks that keep seeping out--you know the ones that Trump says are "fake" and then
    has a sht fit over them as if they have merit. I am looking forward to reading this book as I am sure you are.

    The content is based on interviews with people who work at the Whitehouse. This was a general statement and resulted in much laughter. Try not to judge before you read it.

    very few authors if any would purposely write lies in a book other then this one why he shouldn't be considered one bit credible
    but he wrote a damaging book about Trump so you would believe the lies anyways

    Dude, you are totally wasting your time trying to reason with this other guy... he simply refuses to believe Trump and his administration are anything other than geniuses.... Not sure what it will take to change his mind, but it's his right...

    "settled on a version of events I believe to be true." - The point is some guys got together and wrote a bunch of stories and people think that they come right from the mouth of a magical person that exists and is all knowing, all powerful that people all over the world devote their lives and money to. I don't think this book has that appeal......yet.
    You're an agnostic? Who cares? What does that have to do with anything.

    And it is a waste of time debating a liberal so eat up with Trump derangement syndrome that they will still believe a book as credible even after the author admitting writing lies in the book

    isn't it against forum rules to continue to spam the same post over and over again?
