Page was not Sztrok’s lawyer, but rather a lawyer within the DoJ. And yes, they did have an affair. Like Fat Donald, if you will. Turns out their concerns about Fat Donald were correct.
I never said she was his lawyer. You inferred that.
What do you mean by “his lawyer”?

So, my copy came in last night. I’m only a couple of chapters in, but a couple of things have already stuck out to me.
The book opens with a meeting where he was considering a presidential run in 2010. During that meeting, it came out that he essentially had not idea there was a pro-life / pro- choice debate going on in the country. Wow - I have to wonder what rock he has been hiding under for the last 5 decades. That is literally one of the key linchpins (if not THE linchpin) of the Republican platform. I knew all about that debate before I even hit puberty.
His voting record (specifically lack of voting in primaries with one exception) was discussed. He kept swearing he had voted every single time he had the opportunity. Trump apparently didn’t know what a primary election was. Again, this one floored me. I have voted in every single primary, runoff, and general election since I was 19 (the first time I was eligible). We’ve got a sitting president where the voting system in this country had to be explained to him before he ran. Think about that.
I’m only on chapter 2 right now. I have a feeling I’m going to be shaking my head quite a bit over the next few days.
For me so far it’s the discussion with Cohn in Bedminster before Trump hired him.
Fits in nicely with what I’ve said regarding this idea that a businessman obviously understands the economy and so therefore will make a great President.
I said over and over during the election that just because someone runs a business doesn’t mean they understand macroeconomics or concepts like sovereign debt.
And that was clear in the Cohn discussion where Cohn discussed the implications of increasing interest rates. Trump’s immediate response? “Borrow a whole bunch of money cheap now, and then sell it off later at the higher interest rates”.
Yeah…that works if you’re a business or even a small entity. Our local schools just did something very similar a couple of months ago (although we didn’t take on the debt just to sell it later…we actually used the money for something).
The government? It doesn’t work that way…and Trump didn’t realize it.
If you buy bonds and then interest rates rise, the value of your bonds will go down.
The storm is here and it will be flooding fat donald’s house very soon.
One or more of Fat Donald’s crappy kids will likely be in prison once all is said and done.

Taping both hands over his mouth might be his best chance at salvation, unless he learns how to twit with his toes.

As I read posts from libs and other turncoats, their word after word, accusation after accusation, their mockery of God’s chosen man in our white house, I think of Sennacherib and I think of Shebna.
This won’t end well for people who have lied about President Trump.
Yeah opposition to a leader is just like the king who destroyed Babylon and was assassinated by his kid.
Keep it up, one day you may actually catch me a slipping with a reference I have to Google.

I laughed so hard at that I had coffee coming out my nose.
Why is that so important to you? I’ve literally got 6 bookcases overflowing from all of the hundreds of books that I’ve read. I’ve read the last 6 Woodward books. Why would I lie about reading this one? But more importantly, why would you even care?

Well it’s a parody account, so he’s happy. If you see every post in that way, he comes across as decent, if lazy, satire.
Plasmaball:
Still nothing…
I’m still confused. Do you honestly expect me to waste time trying to prove that I’m reading the book? Seriously?
When I’ve completed it, if you want to have a discussion about a particular chapter, I would be happy to indulge you. If that isn’t acceptable , then I can’t help you.
It’s never come across as a parody account to me.

Ish, glad to see you havent lost your touch.
Misusing Scripture to brand Trump as someone who should not be mocked because he’s “God’s Chosen Man in the White House” is some mighty good work.
