Trump can't indulge his usual juvenile taunts of "unpopular" or "failing" with Woodward's book. I sure hope no one brings this up on the Emperor Trump's twitter feed or mentions it to Sarah Sanders.

the sooner this man is gotten out of the WH the better.

facetious or sarcastic.. one of those or maybe both.

hey Cha

... sales will go up more.

I'm 75% through the audio version on audible. Sometimes it feels a bit "cathartic" but it isn't really covering too much new territory, between all that I read here, the Michael Wolff book, and being a vociferous online newspaper consumer.

What I do find, is that Bannon, Porter, Cohn and Priebus are clarly the most utilized sources. Porter and Cohn I find myself minding less so than Bannon. Uggh.

Nothing would purge those bowels faster than reading about Trump's inbred clan.

Most of the stuff in it (and yes I've read it) is typical Trumpism.

Ukraine is mentioned a total of two times when it's obviously the nexus of this whole thing.

... but he's not allowed to publish it yet. I'm sure he checked with Mueller on what he can put in the book, for now. Don't worry another book will come out after this is over. If there's an impeachment, then he'll write two books.

He should've dropped more hints if he had that kind of information.

I think Trumps people are extremely cagey on Russia and indeed a lot of what Woodward writes almost seems a caricature of what Trump would be like (though accurate).

... he barely mentions Russia and Ukraine in his book that came out about 6 months ago. And yet, we all know this guy saw all the evidence, the un-redacted Steele dossier, the deep web datafiles, all of it. I think they're being really careful about publishing anything before Mueller releases his report. Even after his report is out, some things will still be held back in case they're needed for trials.



But you may be right about Woodward, maybe he didn't want to dig too deep because his sources were avoiding the subject.

..will be done about this? Every single person in this admin can be the main character or subject.

for sure!

Wolff, Omarosa, et al. could all be held into question, but not Woodward. I even heard one commentator (of some repute) say that he would stake his life on anything that Woodward wrote, as it was so meticulously researched and documented and cross-checked.

This made it all the more hilarious when Trump tweeted that Woodward had been having "credibility issues." Right - 19 highly acclaimed books later! And, by the way, Donny - he actually wrote it HIMSELF.

I think millions of eyes are opening to the urgency of the threat.

I called my local Barnes & Noble, as I was going to cancel my Amazon order, but they told me that even though they had ordered what they thought was plenty, every one sold out in the morning! It would be days before they got more in.

Meanwhile, I got The Husband a fresh copy of All the President's Men.

I found it on a bookshelf upstairs! Great great book!

thought i'd maybe read it aloud to my son as we ride out Florence.

and even non-Democrats are buying the books. That's a good sign.

Numerous mishaps and the like.

Woodward has been around the block and knows what he is doing, author-wise. Plenty of research and documentation. He did write about Nixon and that period of time too, so has experience in dealing w/ hot button topics like this.

Of course he believes it, his buddies at Fox use that method all the time to pump up sales

The person that told me also explained the book was the fastest selling in 3 years. I was expecting him to ask me if I wanted to order the book but he didn't. I didn't push it. I thought if nothing else I go home and try ordering it.

But before going home, I stopped at Costco and they had a few copies of it. It wasn't sticker as being discounted but cost less than from B&N or Amazon. So happy days.

...I'm not sure I like the narrator though.

Ahem.

in a small college town in Minnesota. When she called to get my payment information, she told me it has been a very good week to be in the book business. I bet!

There's a signed first edition up for auction on ebay and it's really tempting to bid on it. This book may be one of the biggest nails in Trump's coffin.
