Imagine if Trump is finally taken down by the librarians. 😉
ReplyAmerica, if you let him or any of his MAGA cronies run your country, we will all suffer
ReplyHe’ll overturn everything and other despots will follow his example
It’s happening here in the UK.
The Tory government are echoing words spoken by Republican senators and it’s horrible to see
Interesting touch on censoring everybody’s favourite five letter word in the title.
ReplyJust think THAT every BOOK can HAVE double meaning as The Bible it is written AS COMMON SENSE it is understood can COMMON SENSE explain and no one sees iT
ReplyTrump will never be president again.
ReplyUntil A couple PROPHETS are UNDERWAY to SHOW you WHAT as A
ReplyThe year is 2011. In February, *Maggie Haberman* pens an article in Politico *”The Donald reins in Roger Stone”,* quoting from an interview with Donald himself who phoned Maggie. The article was ostensibly *floating a Presidential bid.*
ReplyThe article contains this statement: “It’s impossible to independently assess Trump’s (net) worth”. Seems fair.
Fast forward to March 2011.
*Donald Trump begins publicly questioning if Obama was born in America.* While Trump faces pushback over the controversy (NYT ran an article “Donald Trump is getting weirder”), weeks later two articles by Maggie Haberman appear in Politico. The first article continues to float a Presidential bid by Trump. It offers information that Trump personally called Kellyanne Conway, who helped Trump connect to evangelicals. It was at this time that Trump reversed his position on abortion.
A week later with Trump continuing to take heavy fire over his birtherism and questions about his finances, this gem appears in Politico by Maggie Haberman: *”Trump: The The $7 Billion dollar man”.*
It is still online.
The article cites “Sources with knowledge of Trump’s financial holdings” to make the dubious claim that Trump has “very little debt” and great cash flow while continuing to float a Presidential campaign bid.
This bold claim of Trump’s wealth, relying on anonymous sources in Trump World, came mere weeks after Haberman herself claimed it was impossible to independently verify his net worth.
Impossible to independently verify it yet runs an article stating his net worth is $7 billion?
We now know that these claims (little debt) were preposterous but they were preposterous at the time if we trust Forbes over Haberman’s anonymous sources within Team Trump. (Forbes estimated his net worth at a shade over $2 billion & leveraged.)
*What we have here are early signs of a pattern.*
Donald Trump does or says something which invites criticism and condemnation.
*Maggie Haberman is then granted a direct interview or publishes a favorable Trump piece.*
October 6th, 2016 the Access Hollywood tapes emerge. Maggie Haberman would write TWO articles related to this episode. (She wrote FIFTY THREE on Hillary’s emails).
ReplyThe piece titled “Inside Trump Tower, an Increasingly Upset and Alone Donald Trump” portrayed Trump in a sympathetic light. It is still online.
The lede refers to his massive ambition and subtle implication of success and achievement (Trump Tower).
The copy paints a sympathetic picture of “poor Donald” isolated and not in the best of spirits. It references a personal phone call Donald made to Maggie without her admitting he made it.
The piece closes on Donald Trump emerging like a rock star.
Remember – this was days after Donald Trump was caught on tape bragging about sexual abuse.
And this was the Haberman treatment.
Colbert starts off the interview by telling Maggie Haberman to “smile more,” and then ends by telling her to “shhhh.”
ReplyI hope I live long enough to never hear about Trump ever again.
Replywhat word does Stephen use? irraculate? eraculate? I tried googling it and it doesn’t exist. Am I hearing it wrong?
Replyhoo-boy, the fines on those documents are gonna be huge. let’s see… [(5 cents a day x 10,700 records) + (10 cents a day x 300 _classified_ documents)] x 575 days = $307,625. Donnie’s gonna have to get a summer job to pay that off.
ReplyTrump is NOT able to run in 2024. Ammendment 14 section 3 ‘Prohibits those who engaged in insurrection
Replyor rebellion against the United States and the office of the President of which they swore an aligience
to shall run for that office of President or any government office including Speaker Of The House.’
