Right you are! #2 is Sing, Unburied, Sing: "National Book Award winning Jesmyn Ward tells the story of Jojo, a young black Mississippi boy raised by his grandparents, who is forced to become a man far before he should because his mother is a drug addict, his father is in jail, and his baby sister needs a guardian."

Trump’s reaction tells you all you need to know about the book’s truthfulness.

Also, while I was critical and snarky about this book yesterday as a waste of time and a distraction, I may have been wrong about that. Since our current political media has done nothing (willingly or unwillingly) aid and abet trump, maybe the best way to cover him is with celebrity style gossip and innuendo.


I agree with that sentiment. However, this is all likely to amount to nothing. Remember, this guy already has been recorded admitting to sexual assault and he was rewarded with the presidency. To Adolf's base, this is just going to be another attack by non-Patriots.



and it will distract everyone from Russiagate and what the GOP is doing in Congress. It's exactly what Trump needed. There's nothing I've heard from the book so far that I haven't heard in other contexts over the past two years. This is just some additional confirmation of what we already know.

Yesterday, Bannon said, "“The president of the United States is a great man. You know I support him day in and day out.”

Which thing do you think his supporters are going to digest, the great man comment or the secondhand comment about him being treasonous and/or senile? I don't think it will make much difference to his core base unless it's the first shot fired on the 25th amendment movement, which I think is unlikely.

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
I 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. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

Trump gave Michael Wolff unfettered West Wing access after Wolff's 2016 THR cover profile called him 'the most frightening, dangerous presidential candidate' ever, and revealed he didn't know what Brexit was. Incredible

Incredulous, I often asked Michael about his near-weekly visits to roam the White House unsupervised:

Me: 'So what do they THINK you are doing?'

Him (typing, typing): 'I have no idea. No one asks'

The President's campaign chairman/chief WH strategist accusing the son of the president of engaging in treasonous activities regarding meeting up with the Russians, suggesting they met with Trump himself, expressing his opinion that the president's son in law/top aide has massive exposure on money laundering etc. seems unlikely to 'distract everyone from Russiagate' and almost certainly isn't 'exactly what Trump needed' but you do you.

Kinda hilarious that he would lash out at the "fake news" media in a tweet that contains fake news.

Latest jobs report comes in well under expectations. Unemployment still at 4.1%, only 148k new jobs created. (about 200k was the expected number).

the notoriously press-shy Rebekah Mercer — whom Newsmax Media owner Christopher Ruddy has admiringly called “the First Lady of the alt-right” — publicly rebuked Bannon and stood by the president in a statement. “I support President Trump and the platform upon which he was elected,” Mercer said. “My family and I have not communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements.”

why do the mercers hate the system that made them insanely rich? the quest to explode it seems very odd.
