Bob Woodward’s New Book Reveals a ‘Nervous Breakdown’ of Trump’s Presidency
The Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, September 4, 2018 | Philip Rucker and Robert CostaPosted on 9/4/2018, 10:52:29 AM by kristinn
John Dowd was convinced that President Trump would commit perjury if he talked to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. So, on Jan. 27, the president’s then-personal attorney staged a practice session to try to make his point.
In the White House residence, Dowd peppered Trump with questions about the Russia investigation, provoking stumbles, contradictions and lies until the president eventually lost his cool.
“This thing’s a goddamn hoax,” Trump erupted at the start of a 30-minute rant that finished with him saying, “I don’t really want to testify.”
The dramatic and previously untold scene is recounted in “Fear,” a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward that paints a harrowing portrait of the Trump presidency, based on in-depth interviews with administration officials and other principals.
Woodward writes that his book is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses that were conducted on “deep background,” meaning the information could be used but he would not reveal who provided it. His account is also drawn from meeting notes, personal diaries and government documents.
************************
The book is a total hit job based on a mix of gossip, purloined documents and betrayals.
A lot of what the Post thinks is damaging to Trump actually makes him look good to his supporters, like the rant about Afghanistan.

Yeah, and not a single word out of this guy during Obama’s eight years.
He defended Clinton adnausium(sic) too.
He’s a lifelong fraud.

the excerpts above reveal that President Trump is doing his job. I fail to see from the two examples where the issue is.
1. He does a mock meeting with Mueller, and he’s convinced in just a few minutes, that he DOESN’T want to testify.
2. He’s upset with the way Afghanistan war that he inherited is conducted. He shows aggravation with the generals. Ok? What’s wrong with that?

I read the article, the portrayal of Trumps temperament seems consistent with others. Is anyone surprised? I like him, voted for him, will again in 2020. I thought he was crazy long before the 2016 campaign, but I’ve come to accept that his brand of loony is what’s needed to shake up DC and the GOP.

Mollie Tibbetts’ father: Don’t use her death to promote ‘racist’ views
Since authorities revealed the suspect in the killing of Mollie Tibbetts is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, Iowa’s Latino communities have been the target of rising anti-immigrant sentiment. But the father of the late 20-year-old college student has had enough. He’s spoken out, and he has a message: Don’t exploit my daughter’s death to promote a racist agenda.

Salisbury poisonings: police name two Russian suspects
The Guardian ^ | 09/05/18 | Vikram Dodd
Posted on 9/5/2018, 11:34:22 AM by NatufianTwo Russian nationals have been named and charged over the novichok poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, Wiltshire. British police and prosecutors made the announcement on Wednesday.
Police said the two men were travelling on authentic Russian passports under the names of Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov and arrived in the UK on an Aeroflot flight days before the attack. The Crown Prosecution Service said there was enough evidence to charge them.

Police have named and charged in absentia two Russian suspects in the novichok attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury.
Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov flew into Gatwick on an Aeroflot flight on 2 March, two days before the Skripals were poisoned with the nerve agent.

In today’s “I’m calling you a dumbfuck in as few words as possible” department – the reply:
To: DesertRhino
To: Natufian
The target was Col. Skripal who has been hunted by the Russians since his 2010 spy swap release.
He had moved several times in the London area to various safe houses. His daughter Yulia had not visited him since he had moved last. Neither she not the Russians knew where Col. Skripal lived.
Petrov and Boshirov knew of Yulia’s proposed trip and flew in the day before to follow Yulia to Col. Skripal’s location, which they did, and then did site surveillance.
Petrov and Boshirov were likely just the drop team. That is, they delivered the poison to a known location and then left the country.
A separate hit team, a man and a woman, are being sought for the direct attack. The hit team then disposed of the poison in a used clothing charity drop box in a nearby “needle park”.
Rowley, was “dumpster diving” and found the poison-filled perfume bottle and gave it to his girlfriend Sturgess as a gift. She applied it to her wrists and died. Contrary to news reports, the agent was not sprayed like perfume.
The Novichok agent has been changed since its first formula, by adding carbon and nitrogen to make it gel and not degrade. This weapons grade refining required many years and a very sophisticated laboratory and testing facility.
This attack was definitely state-sponsored.

To: NatufianWhereas putin’s a stand up guy.###########In comparison to Beltway weasels, State Dept fags, neoconartists and their UKistan minions, Putin is certainly more candid and does us no harm. Even warned about communism under the days of the degenerate and warmongering Obama. Putin even saved some Christians from McCain’s pet murder monkeys in Syria.
I’d like to point out here that calling Syrians “monkeys” is not in the least bit racist.
.
Nope.
.
Not even a little.
That UKistan election meddling is still in full swing. Not that their subjects have any hand or even say in it. They would end up in like Tommy Robinson.
Dirty, dirty perfidious Albion.
Two wars we have had to fight with Crown Pukes.
And two in the past century that we fought alongside them – but I’m sure that just slipped your alleged mind, no?
We should not have rescued their feeble nation in 1917.
