More winning, I for one am getting sick of it now

[voice]

yeah right.

face it this whole Alabama Senate race has been one big clusterfuck for snowflake, he threw his weight behind Strange, even stumped for him, Strange lost big to a maniac. Said mainiac turns out to be even more vile than supposed as it relieved he spent his 30's cruising shopping malls looking for teen girls to molest, some as young as 14, didn't stop snowlakfe again throwing his full weight behind the kiddy fiddler, who again lost.

how ever you spin this it was a total disaster for Trump.

[voice]

oh ffs what a fecking baby 'we'll be taking names of all those who are mean to us'. great I'm sure the worlds quaking in its boots.

US ambassador to the Netherlands another lying sack of sh!t.
He'll even dispute words that he said just minutes before.

Oh dear, looks like Bannon is cashing in and spilling the dirt in his new book.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer purportedly offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton "treasonous," according to a new book obtained by The Guardian.

The book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff, is based on hundreds of interviews, including ones with President Donald Trump and his inner circle. According to the Guardian, Bannon addressed the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Russian operatives that was arranged when Trump Jr. agreed to meet a "Russian government attorney" after receiving an email offering him "very high level and sensitive information" that would "incriminate" Clinton.

This is just utterly hilarious on so many levels.

The war between Trump and Bannon is going to be brilliant. Bannon's pissed off at being kicked out, and pissed off that Trump backed Strange ahead of Moore in the Alabama primary. Trump is pissed off that Bannon's horse won that Alabama pimary, and then once he got on Bannon's horse, that lost the general election. Which means that Bannon has f**k*d over Donald's idea that he's a super winningy kind of guy.

Meanwhile, Michael Wolff is a hilariously appalling human being, who's known to be a Murdoch toady, but also who's known to be a self-aggrandising fantasist.

Finally, Donald Trump's OFFICIAL RESPONSE is the following. It's just utterly, utterly mental.



How the f**k**g f**k can the Whitehouse release something like this?

[voice]

that is hilarious

[clarity]

The worm has turned. I wonder if Trump rues the day he got rid of Bannon. You really couldn't make this crap up. It has all the ingredients for a political soap opera. Bring it on, I love it, so funny. I fell about laughing when he mentioned his big button and Bannon losing his mind. It's kindergarten stuff. Such man babies the both of them.

[voice]

Well snowflake, true to form, has threatened to sue and will go to court to silence Bannon.

Lawyers for US President Donald Trump are seeking to stop the release of a book containing explosive insights into his presidency, US media report.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is due for release on Tuesday.

It cites former top aide Steve Bannon as describing a meeting with a group of Russians as "treasonous".

It also questions Mr Trump's fitness for office, says Ivanka Trump has presidential ambitions, and claims that his wife was crying on election night.

meanwhile the DOW crosses 25K, the Trump rally continues, unemployment, including Black, and Mexican down, wages rising,

[voice]

glad to see the continuation of the Obama economy, non of the metrics have jumped, just continued the trend under Obama, manly cos Trump hasn't been able to achieve anything of note that has fecked things up yet, have to see how the tax rise on the poor and middle class effects things, a bump in stock is expected given the huge handout big money is about to get.

Quite the read right here:

nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book-donald-trump.html

Even though the numbers in a few key states had appeared to be changing to Trump’s advantage, neither Conway nor Trump himself nor his son-in-law, Jared Kushner — the effective head of the campaign — ­wavered in their certainty: Their unexpected adventure would soon be over. Not only would Trump not be president, almost everyone in the campaign agreed, he should probably not be. Conveniently, the former conviction meant nobody had to deal with the latter issue.

As the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was sanguine. His ultimate goal, after all, had never been to win. “I can be the most famous man in the world,” he had told his aide Sam Nunberg at the outset of the race. His longtime friend Roger Ailes, the former head of Fox News, liked to say that if you want a career in television, first run for president. Now Trump, encouraged by Ailes, was floating rumors about a Trump network. It was a great future. He would come out of this campaign, Trump assured Ailes, with a far more powerful brand and untold opportunities.

[voice]

yeah great stuff.

Though the fact as soon as he leaves the room everyone rolls their eyes and says 'what and idiot', or that Conway was often seen putting her finger to her head as a mock gun to blow out her brains before entering his office, or the fact he simply forgets stuff half way through and wanders off at tangents that have nothing to do with whats been discusses, is all pure comedy gold. If even half of this stuff is true, its bad (Wolf as fandy said is a known fantasist so you cant rely entirely on this stuff varsity)

[Marshall]

That may be, but he supposedly has tapes of most of the goings on.

I remember thinking when he won the election and came out for his speech that he didn't look especially happy.

[flatandy]

It's a good job no President has ever come unstuck because he kept recordings of dodgy goings on...

[voice]

its just been on the news, the publisher has now responded to Trumps threats to sue them for defamation and the cease and desist letter sent by his lawyers to try and silence them, by changing the release date from next Tuesday to tomorrow.

So that went well, often its the small wins.....

I was flicking over to Faux news during Hannity last night, not a peep about this. Faux have given up entirly on being a news station haven't they, they are effectively the regimes, the mouthpiece.

Of the stuff I've seen or heard about, very little, if any, of it so out there you just think, 'nah that must be bollox', and that's why this is so damaging to snowflake.

[flatandy]

Yeah. It's almost all entirely plausible. It's not like most of the conspiracy nonsense that's stretching the imagination. Like the child sex dungeon in a pizzeria in Brooklyn that HRC was somehow involved with. Or even the various murders she apparently commissioned. Frankly, it's a lot more plausible than the US selling weaponry to Iran in order to fund a terrorist group in Central America.

It's basically just telling us that DJT is not very bright, has no attention span, has a massive ego and an incredibly thin skin, and that literally nobody trusts him to be President.

[voice]

and the other great outcome of this is Bannon looks finished as a result of his tell all, the Mercer's and other billionaire backers have drooped him and as Mercer owns a minority stake in Brietbart they are reportedly pushing for Bannon to be ousted. Another bloviating fleshbag who believed his own hype.
