In another of the US's closest allies, the UK, the Brits are scrambling desperately trying to back away from an invitation rashly advanced to Trump to visit.

That's quite true. Even the most vehement anti-monarchists I know feel that way. It's been surprising: the thought of the Queen having to hobnob with Trump has made us non-monarchists discover vestiges of monarchism in us after all - a sort of protectiveness, in particular.

I wonder which of the two would win in a fight if the spacehopper manages to goad Phil the Greek into taking a swing at him?

Neither Hillary, nor the Democrats contacted any Russians about the dossier. Read the other thread on that.

Now you sound just like a dirtbag politician - but at least when they lie, they know how to do it artfully

Clinton: There Is A Difference Between Paying For Trump Dossier And "Collusion" With Russia

The Russians paid Bill Clinton $500,000.00 for "a speech" while Hillary was SOS and the presumptive next president

(How can anyone say with a straight face that the Clintons didn't collude with Russia)

Ummmm.... Read what you quoted of my post.

God. It's even more difficult, though in a different way, to imagine Trump and Phil meeting. Phil's *bound* to say something, er, 'inappropriate' to the Great Orange Wankspangle, isn't he? Actually, thinking about that scenario - that could be fun!

Be careful what you wish for ....

..that far from distinguished duo - Trump and Phil - have long histories of racist comments and innumerable other nasties towards minority groups. They might find they have quite a lot in common and end up swapping tips ....

Seems trump is in more trouble than Phil ever has been.

But most of all, the book confirms what is already widely understood — not just that Trump is entirely unfit for the presidency, but that everyone around him knows it. One thread running through “Fire and Fury” is the way relatives, opportunists and officials try to manipulate and manage the president, and how they often fail. As Wolff wrote in a Hollywood Reporter essay based on the book, over the past year, the people around Trump, “all — 100 percent — came to believe he was incapable of functioning in his job.”

Bannon is doing damage control this morning on SiriusXM.
Legal action is imminent according to a cease and desist letter.
The shit is hitting the fan today
elsewhere on the interwebs on comments sections, trumpers are imploding everywhere, its hilarious.

On Fox & Friends, they are bashing Bannon and Wolff. I think that will be the strategy moving forward.

...As liberals lick their lips over the juicy details, let’s not forget that it isn’t just the Trump White House that’s slamming this book.

Former members of the Obama administration, other members of the news media, and even CNN have warned that this book is shoddy at parts. Even the author, Michael Wolff, who has described himself as a “famous bloviator,” admits that parts of his book could be untrue, even with tapes of conversations between Steve Bannon and other top Trump officials, though other interviews were off the record. Wolff even makes a note of it in his book, which Business Insider dissected. They concluded that for some portions of the book, it’s pretty much impossible to discern things, like how someone felt...

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman said Wolff got basic details wrong (via Washington Examiner):

quote:

"I believe parts of it and then there are other parts that are factually wrong," she said on CNN. "I can see several places in the book that are wrong. So for instance, he inaccurately describes a report in the New York Times. He inaccurately characterizes a couple of incidents that took place early on in the administration. He gets basic details wrong."

Haberman said Wolff's "style" is to create a broad narrative in a story, but gets many of the details wrong.

"He creates a narrative that is notionally true, conceptually true, the details are often wrong," she said.

Haberman said Trump is also incorrect when he says he never met with Wolff, but she also said that Wolff is "overstating the access he had to the president" to write the book.

CNN’s Alisyn Camerota warned viewers that this book isn’t journalism, citing his prologue (via The Hill):

quote:

"We should mention that it sounds like Michael Wolff's modus operandi was to let the people he interviewed spin yarns," the "New Day" co-host said, said regarding "Fire and Fury."

"And then he didn't necessarily fact-check them. He didn't necessarily need two sources," the former "Fox & Friends" host continued.

"This isn't really journalism. This is a very interesting read but in terms of the way he processed them, he admits in the author's note that he let people tell their own stories and he printed them," she concluded.

Bannon may well have said all that stuff but let's remember that Wolff is an unprincipled writer of fiction. http://wapo.st/2CBJZg3?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.6b0a6bae1c36 …

Axios’ Mike Allen and Jim Vanehei wrote, “There are definitely parts of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury" that are wrong, sloppy, or betray off-the-record confidence.” Steve Rattner, who headed President Obama’s task force for the auto bailout, called Wolff a “total sleaze bag” and an “unprincipled fiction writer.” Left wing Salon also admitted that the book is not “super reliable,” though they added it’s too juicy to pass up. In all, it’ll probably add the self-righteousness and insufferable smugness that veteran reporters Woodward and Bernstein mentioned this week. In the meantime, if you want to buy it, go for it—just know that there’s some fake news mixed in it.

And so it starts :)

Of course none of the people (e.g. Steve Bannon?) quoted in the book (to my knowledge) have said they have been misquoted.
Ohhhh but Wilbur Ross was incorrectly identified as a nominee for Labor Secretary....

And.... Wait for it....

Hilary Rosen's name was misspelled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and Maggie Haberman doesn't like him. Oh no comrades!!!!

Sam Nunberg, appearing on MSNBC last night said that every quote was 100% correct. He disagreed slightly with the context that Wolff painted around the quotes.


Oh, and BTW: Ever listen to Rush Limbaugh?

Remember all those times you said Mueller was leaking sensitive information? According to Rush, it was Bannon.

Guess you owe Mueller an apology :)

The Dow just reached 25,000, the economy is booming, and ISIS has been decimated, so of course the news media is talking about none of these stories. The latest political frenzy surrounds the new book, Fire and Fury, by controversial author Michael Wolff. It is basically a nasty, full-frontal attack on Donald Trump.

In response, the President said that he “authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist.”

Wolff has a history of questionable journalism. In 2003, he wrote a book and Vanity Fair feature about financier Steven Rattner, who labeled the author both “a total sleazebag,” as well as “an unprincipled writer of fiction.” Wolff was also profiled in the New Republic as a writer who creates scenes from his “imagination rather than from actual knowledge of events.”

Several of the people quoted in Fire and Fury, such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and close Trump friend Thomas Barrack, Jr. have totally denied making the statements the author attributed to them.

A Townhall article that bashes Wolff. What a surprise!

Yes. The people he writes about call him a liar. The article's author unleashes his venom on Bannon. So?

What exactly does this have to do with the dozens of on-the-record quotes he has on tape?
