    Oh, it's quality first-class ass kissing, but it's not an apology for anything that was attributed to Bannon in the book... He can say 'Oh, it was Manafort I implied was treasonous, not Don Jr', but you can't walk that back all the way... If the meeting should have been reported to the FBI (Bannon) and Don Jr was in the meeting (Established) but Don Jr is a patriot (Bannon later), how can you reconcile all that??

    Bannon is and remains a slimeball... "There's a special place in hell........."

    No doubts about that. Did you noticed how all the leaks from the White House dwindled to nearly zero with his departure?

    Agreed.

    Johnson was a clueless idiot who wasn't even sure what Aleppo was.

    I think had Hillary won, the party of "No" would of been in full force as as dems do not have the votes in congress, and that would of lessened support in 2018 and 2020, after Trump, the dem voters realise the importance of voting, so I see 2018 and 2020 being good years for dems, if dems do not get out and vote, they have no one to blame but themselves

    They just spew anything they can about Trump. I heard on the radio that the book says Trump really didn't want to be President and when he was elected Melania cried. If that was true, why would he collude with the Russians to win? :roll:

    Sorry, you couldn't convert the Bernie bro's after the party hosed him. In 2020 I hope he runs as an independent.

    Checked... nope. No leaks to speak of from the White House, not after Steve Bannon has left.

    I'll sit wherever I like, thank you.

    You see, this is one of the very things that turns people against Trump haters. You act like people had some moral obligation to prefer Hillary (gag me) Clinton to Trump, as you did. I didn't prefer her. If it weren't for his personal quirks, I'd have had no problem voting for Trump's unapologetically America First policy.

    You and Paul Krugman will notice that the world hasn't come to an end as you predicted. He hasn't started any wars. He hasn't tanked the economy or the stock market (au contraire). He's reaching out to congress to reconcile the Dreamer dilemma and the Wall for which people elected him. He's getting along reasonably well with the Chinese and the two Koreas are talking. I see no evidence of Russian collusion or dementia.

    Actually, no. You are incorrect. There were not multiple posts exchanged between you and the other poster in this thread leading up to your post. The post you responded to was the third post in the thread.

    Your post was number 5 in the thread.

    How embarrassing for you.

    Exactly! They robbed Bernie AND his supporters.

    As for the book, such fools:

    WAGES OF POSTMODERNISM: Michael Wolff to MSNBC anchor on his book: “If it rings true, it is true.”

    “If it rings true, it is true” may be the most Orwellian defense of slovenly reporting since the immortal “fake but accurate” line from the Rathergate days. This isn’t the way journalistic ethics are supposed to work, gasps an exasperated Haley Byrd of the Weekly Standard. It is if you want to sell a million copies, I guess. In fact, “if it rings true, it is true” is about as perfect a summation as you could ask for of the concept of confirmation bias. If you already hate Trump, the mix of fact, rumor, and third-hand smear in Wolff’s book, all relentlessly damning of the White House, is a political banana split with extra hot fudge. Nothing that tastes this good could possibly be bad for you!

    I urge all conservatives to eMail Sanders and urge him to run as an independent in 2020. Myself I'll even send him a $10 donation if he runs. Either that or we could be saddled with "hoof n mouth" Biden or "the big O" Opera. Looks to me like Michelle and Kamala are headed for the dugout in 2020.

    Doesn't matter. We are going with the Very Stable Genius Trump.

    Splitting the left wing vote is the best thing that can happen in 2020. Bernie got 13 million votes to Hillary's 16 million, splintering their votes should create an easy win.

    That was in the primary. To really split the vote in a way that helps Trump, we need Bernie to run as an Independent in the general election against the Dem nominee. I doubt the Libertarian will get as many votes in the general as Johnson did.

    Bernie running as an Independent in the General election in 2020 is what I meant.

    But he knows that that would insure Trump's re-election. So I guess it's possible, but more likely that the Dem nominee would throw him some kind of bone to keep him out.

    I hope Wolff will show his gratitude with lots of royalties to the BBC for their help in making him a multi-millionaire. They've sure done him proud in that respect; for instance the two bozos who host Beyond 100 Days never stop talking about ****ing Fire & Fury. In fact the BBC is more obsessed by The Donald than The Swamp creatures of Washington are!

    The 'unstable' psychiatrist you refer to is,of course not unstable. It takes a lot of intelligence, training, experience and being a very together person to be a Yale professor. As well, whe wrote a book which contains and discusses the mental evaluation of Trump by 30 other psychiatrists. They all point to the traits in Trump that we all see daily and which point to his mental instablilty. The opinion she shared with the senators is not hers alone but one based on the compilation of hers and 30 other psychiatrists.

    You only say she is 'unstable' because you wish it were true, and you will defend Trump no mattrer what. He could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and kill someone and you'd still defend him. People in our country and around the world have noticed his mental and emotional instability. He's on show every day and displays these characteristics daily.

    And finally, she did not recant the diagnosis she shared with the senators. Gateway Pundit is not a media source that tells the truth. It is the empitome of 'fake news.'
