@blatham,

For one thing, they can operate without one iota of Dem influence or even knowledge.

I see you added a post basically saying the same thing before I could get this posted!

You're quoting yourself, and criticising your own work?

Interesting, William.

He wasn't, but he wasn't very clear what he meant either (plus the page break came right in the middle of the exchange of posts).

Blatham wondered about the significance of moving "the project to prevent Democrats from cheating in elections" to Homeland Security. (Post: # 6,569,544)

BillW replied that it could shut out Democratic influence. (Post: # 6,569,579 -- top of this page)

But Blatham had finally found someone to think for him and had made a follow up post of his own just before BillW's reply. (Post: # 6,569,576 -- bottom of previous page)

BillW was just acknowledging Blatham's "look everyone, I think what that guy thinks" post, as it amounted to similar information to what BillW had posted.

I think we've established that the DNC sold its soul to the Clinton foundation, to prevent bankruptcy.

@Builder,

I don't know. I just wish they'd stop trying to violate the Second Amendment.

EDIT: And stop conducting witch hunts against people who disagree with them.

Donald Trump says a book containing damaging allegations about his administration is "full of lies".

The book cites former top aide Steve Bannon as describing a meeting with a group of Russians at which Mr Trump's son was present as "treasonous".

It also portrays Mr Trump as being surprised by winning the presidency.

Mr Trump's lawyers had tried to block publication of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff, which has now gone on sale early.

What a muppet, he's given Wolff's book so much publicity it's bound to be a best seller.

Commentary by Anthony Zurcher.

Donald Trump might want to familiarise himself with the so-called Streisand Effect. The lesson, most prominently learned by singer Barbra Streisand when she tried to quash photographs of her home that appeared on an obscure website, is that the more you fight against undesirable news, the more you call attention to it.

Thanks to his lawyer's "cease and desist" letter, Mr Trump is giving Michael Wolff and his explosive book the kind of massive publicity boost money alone can't buy.

The highly critical allegations are leading every news programme and newspaper front page (and burying the latest round of glowing US economic news that might otherwise garner attention).

Threatening lawsuits is a common tactic for Mr Trump, dating back to his days as a New York real estate mogul. Very seldom does he follow up with actual court action. In this case, such a move would be particularly risky.

To meet the "actual malice" requirement of US libel law, the president would open himself up to investigation from opposing lawyers seeking to prove that Mr Wolff's allegations had substance - or, at the very least - that he had reason to believe they did.

News from Washington Examiner

The Department of Justice has caved to pressure from the White House and is reportedly reopening the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

According to the Daily Beast, there is a new effort in the department to get new details on how Clinton and her aides — including former top aide Huma Abedin — handled classified material. The effort will look at how much classified information was on her private email server, and how that information got there.

President Trump has continually questioned if and when the Justice Department would reopen its investigation into Clinton. He tweeted on Dec. 2: “Many people in our Country are asking what the ‘Justice’ Department is going to do about the fact that totally Crooked Hillary, AFTER receiving a subpoena from the United States Congress, deleted and ‘acid washed’ 33,000 Emails? No justice!”

Damned smart observation.

@Builder,

Trump is determined to fulfill all his campaign promises, one of which was to "lock her up."

@layman,

I wonder why they can have a house fire, and nobody thinks anything of it, but Trump wants to go have a game of golf on one of his own courses, and it makes the news every time.

I guess there's very few golfers on this site, but that's where many deals are made, and information shared, because it's considered to be a safe zone, with no real risk of listening devices.

@izzythepush,

Trump knows what he's doin. He's throwin tons of chum in the water to attract, and distract, these MSM fish.

Now they'll spend months, day-in, day-out, talkin 24/7 about meaningless pieces of bogus gossip about him, all while expressing TOTAL OUTRAGE.

Then, while they aint lookin, he's gunna write up a shitload of executive orders to the FCC, the cumulative effect of which will be to shut their sorry ass down. The major networks will be gone, and the newly-founded "Trump TV" will dominate the airwaves.

Everyone wins. Then he can then spend the 19 hours a day that he currently uses to tweet to get some **** done, ya know?

Some reporters and officials are calling the book sloppy, and challenging specific passages.

Yeah, this is a work of fiction, and a crappy one at that!

Quote:

How could Wolff possibly know for sure what Steve Bannon and the late Roger Ailes said at a private dinner?

Yeah. There you go, an obvious example of fake news. What a fraud!

Quote:

It turns out Wolff hosted the dinner for six at his Manhattan townhouse.

Oh.

****.

It's not just the media. We've got to outlaw the entire Democratic Party. It's the only way to put a stop to their endless witch hunting.

If this scumbag is quoting people who talked to him off the record, that's not cool.

But it's okay for a bunch of scumbags to accept a dinner invitation and then sit around and talk trash about their boss?

OK, that's IT! Trump must resign immediately.

The Worst Thing Donald Trump Says in Michael Wolff’s Book

That's the headline. Good clickbait, sho nuff.

And of course it's not surprising that the revelation in the article is sufficient to warrant a public beheading of Trump.

Ya know what that sumbitch did? He called that **** Sally Yates a ****, that's what!
