Fire and fury

[Value Buy]

Many posters insisted they prepaid for this book.
It has been released.
Have you read it yet?
Was it worth buying?
Was it a waste of your money, and you wish you had bought a cheap bottle of wine instead?

Still waiting for Amazon to ship me my ordered copy.  Amazon was swamped with orders and is way behind in the shipping of the book.

Every Indigo Book store up here in Toronto is SOLD OUT in that book. I might be able to get it in the Spring, the way this is going now. The reviews I heard this morning on it was that it was a very interesting book.

What? Not a Prime member?
I thought that was a requirement for members of this forum
Anyway let us know it it was worth the money after you read it.
I suspect many will be disappointed just because many will realize it is not real.
imho of course!

[Jaguar]

One Review stated "Best money I ever spent on a book." and another said "I can't stop thinking about it!"

So for me this is a must read.

I'm Prime. Publishing company is printing additional copies as fast as they can as demand far exceeded availability.

Of course it is your "imho". I would expect nothing less in spin from you.

Regardless of what was said in the book, Trump made matters so, so much worse with his "I'm like, really smart. I'm a stable genius"
Anyone with an IQ over 50 would have thought better of it, and kept his fat, stubby fingers off the keyboard.
That made him look really bad.

[weltschmerz]

My DS is making me a T-shirt with Stable Genius written on it. He has a heat press machine.

[happyhoix]

No, I didn't buy it.

Kind of picky about what I spend the time to read, because I have limited time for reading. From reading the outtakes, it seemed like one of those old Kitty Kelly gossipy books, and I don't really like that kind of book.

I figure someone else will let me know all the important bits, but honestly, I think most of it had already been reported over the last year or so. It's just been consolidated into one book.

Some people are ordering the wrong book. 

Fallout from Michael Wolff’s incendiary Donald Trump tell-all is still unfolding on the American political stage. The drama’s main character, Steve Bannon, was just ousted from Breitbart News for the access he gave Wolff. But offstage, someone unrelated to the campaign is also enjoying a moment in the media spotlight, simply because he wrote a book by the same title a decade ago.



Canadian author Randall Hansen’s “Fire and Fury” climbed several best seller lists on Amazon in the wake of Wolff’s book release. Hansen is a history professor and his book is an account of Allied bombing in World War II from the perspective of German civilians.

Bought on iBooks and finished reading, I marathon through books when I get them.

Had I read it 5 years ago it would have been one hell of a work of fiction and beyond belief. Reading it in 2018 it didn’t surprise me in the least, Trump is a dumpster fire of a person and completely unfit to serve, exactly who I imagined he would be when he was running for office.

If anything this book made me more angry at Dems for running a horrifically weak candidate like Clinton, angry at the establishment GOP for not nipping this in the bud on the many gift wrapped occasions they had, angry at the generic public for maintaining woeful ignorance and even more worried for mankind that this person has control of a nuclear arsenal.

That book was written ten years ago. People are buying it by mistake, and then having the nerve to contact the author with vile threats, because THEY make the error.
He was interviewed on CTV yesterday.

Do you know if the price on both books is about the same price?

[The Walk of the Penguin Mich]

I downloaded it onto my kindle, and I'm about 1/3 the way through.  I'd have finished reading it today, other than I have been reading the transcript of the Fusion GPS investigation.  

The book is giving me nightmares.

I'm prime too, and I ordered mine on Monday. Said it would take 2-4 weeks to be delivered. I like hard copy books rather than tablet version, so I paid the extra $3-4. I can't wait to read it, although I have a feeling I am going to be quite depressed afterward, since I do believe most of what is written, or at least half of it is most likely true.

Hmmm. Worth looking into. Possible Stormy times ahead.

Steve Bannon suggests Trump's lawyer 'took care' of 'a hundred' women during the presidential campaign

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon alleged that one of President Donald Trump's attorneys "took care" of 100 women during the presidential campaign.

Bannon made this claim in journalist Michael Wolff's recently published tell-all book about the Trump White House.

The comment may take on new significance after The Wall Street Journal reported that another Trump attorney paid a porn star $130,000 to prevent her from discussing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.



Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former top strategist, alleged in journalist Michael Wolff's tell-all book about the Trump White House that the president's longtime attorney, Marc Kasowitz, "took care" of 100 women during the presidential campaign.

"Look, Kasowitz has known [Trump] for twenty-five years. Kasowitz has gotten him out of all kinds of jams," Bannon reportedly said. "Kasowitz on the campaign - what did we have, a hundred women? Kasowitz took care of all of them."

This apparently off-hand remark may take on new significance after The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that another lawyer for the president, Michael Cohen, sent $130,000 to a porn star just weeks before the 2016 presidential election to keep her silent about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.

Eh, Stormy put out a statement saying it wasn't true.  I believe her because I can see Trump hiring a prostitute through someone like Heidi Fleiss (you pay them to go away, not for sex!) but not a porn star.  He's a germaphobe.

I think the only way we could be shocked by Trump's sexual activities at this point is if he'd been faithful.

Non-disclosure agreement/settlement?

Again-she might have had to sign a non-disclosure agreement/settlement.

"He was gracious, professional and a complete gentleman"  So she did not meet Trump. 

[weltschmerz]

Gracious and professional?  Trump? ROTFLMAO!

He wouldn't recognise gracious and professional if it hit him in his bloated face with a sock full of nickels.

I imagine since she worked in the porn industry, Trump might have come off genuinely to her, that way

[busymom]

Not to be unkind, but if you're in the porn industry, you probably don't know what a gentleman is...

This book is now in stock in Toronto, but geez it's selling fast. I might be able to get it when I go downtown next time.

There's an article on slate by a guy who talked to this woman (actually, Stormy Daniels is her stage name, not her legal name, so I'm not sure that statement you posted is legally valid) prior to the 2016 election. She told him she was trying to do a financial agreement with Donald so she could get 'something out of the experience" but that he had been dragging his feet and she suspected he was going to continue to drag them until after the election, when it would no longer matter if she spilled the beans. So she was negotiating with different media outlets (including Good Morning America and Slate) to tell her side of the story, but she wanted money in return. To verify her story, the Slate writer contacted several of her friends, who confirmed she did indeed have an affair with Trump right after Melania had their son. Then suddenly a month prior to the election Stormy stopped taking calls and emails. I suspect she was only 'shopping' her story around to get Trump to hurry up and pay her off.  Her friends continue to collaborate her story, though, including that Stormy called one of them to try to get her to come over to join their 'party.'

I know Trump's a germaphobe but he's also considered himself a playboy even way back when he was in military school and has a well documented trail of girlfriends and mistresses during all three of his marriages. Not too much of a stretch to see him having an affair with a porn star.

Not that it matters. I told my husband when this story first came out that everyone already knew he screwed around, this won't make a difference one way or another if one of the women he had sex with was a porn star. His base doesn't care and the rest of us are past caring.

The ONLY thing that argues against these multiple payoffs is that it would be so out of character for Trump to actually PAY his contractors instead of stiffing them (make up your own joke here).  I suppose though that if the lawyers were the ones who actually paid then it falls right in line for others to have to clean up his messes.

I saw an article about another porn star who he has an NPD with - I think that one is easier to prove.  The lawyer said she had one then took it back, probably due to the NPD, lol. 

While it is appropriate to insert "NPD" into ANY post about Donald Trump, did you mean NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) instead?
