Woodward is an incredible journalist, and was half of the team that broke Nixon's Watergate scandal way back when. it is less expose and more of, this is what is going on right now, in the US. I so genuinely hope that the electoral system is overhauled. I was no supporter of Clinton, but when you win the popular vote by three million, that should matter more than electoral college votes. It's such a nightmare. We literally have the electoral college to PREVENT dangerous morons like him from getting into office. This is why we can't have nice things :-/Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-30211939946427646832018-12-17T19:51:16.210-06:002018-12-17T19:51:16.210-06:00it is probably one of the better books you will re...it is probably one of the better books you will read on the subject, as Woodward was one of the journalist who broke Nixon's Watergate scandal. Wolff's book that I mentioned above is scary and funny in a chaotic clusterfuck kind of way. I think Greg made a really good point, because during the campaign season, he repeatedly said that if he lost to Clinton, it was because there was voter fraud going on. His supporters vowed to riot repeatedly if he did not win. I do fear what could happen, but he needs to go. It's time for the grownups to get back to work. I legitimately mean what I wrote when I said there were a few mornings I was surprised to wake up and find the world completely intact.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-22748098475767556502018-12-17T19:47:54.485-06:002018-12-17T19:47:54.485-06:00Douchenozzle is one of my most favorite words!
I ...Douchenozzle is one of my most favorite words!<br /><br />I do think the scenario you bring up is possible, which is fucking terrifying. Remember how he said that if he lost to Clinton, it would be because of vote tampering, and his supporters vowed to riot? He has no concept of what is real and what isn't, because he has been given everything his entire life. He has passed on that same God-awful traits to his disgusting children - there is hope for Baron at least! Melania is no better, but I hope Baron is kept as far away from the mess as possible.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-38268852887430026882018-12-17T08:38:01.518-06:002018-12-17T08:38:01.518-06:00I'm avoiding all the exposes at the moment, th...I'm avoiding all the exposes at the moment, they'd just annoy me too much. I see enough of this 'charlie foxtrot' on CNN, MSNBC and the BBC to read about it too. I'm waiting for 5 years or so to read the analysis of how it all crashed & burned and how the whole lot of them ended up in jail (and how it led to a more rational electoral system because of his example).

It's like he has multiple personalities at times as his level of tantrum seems to change by the minute. All that Little Rocket Man and I've got a better nuclear button than you was frankly scary! I think he's unbalanced and dangerous. I also wonder why so many people blindly follow him and Fox News and believe everything they say and question nothing. This is one of the many Trump and US politics related books on my wishlist!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-57071581600772830092018-12-17T00:07:54.071-06:002018-12-17T00:07:54.071-06:00The scariest thing for me about trump is that he b...The scariest thing for me about trump is that he believes it when he says "fake news". I mean it would be bad enough if he were just being cynical and just trying to gin up his base and disparage CNN or whoever, but the fact that he BELIEVES it and so consequently feels like a victim, like he's in the RIGHT, makes me wonder what he won't do to "protect" himself. Like if he loses re- election, would he... leave? Or would he provoke a crisis? For the first time ever in my lifetime I feel like we have a cult of personality in the White House, and I know people who voted for him and think he's right! It's mind boggling. And FOX News bears so much responsibility for this. <br /><br />Same thing w/ Mueller. I mean we basically already HAVE collusion verified, whether it was planned ahead of time or just opportunistic and they were too dumb to know better- either way it's documented and yet I think maybe he TRULY believes he did nothing wrong. Again, what will he do while thinking sincerely he's doing the right thing? Scary times. <br /><br />I feel exactly the same way about Obama. I didn't have to worry about day to day stuff because I knew the occupant of th WH was intelligent enough not to do dumb stuff, for the most part. <br /><br />Anyway, the book haha- I do want to read it, although I also don't you know because I know it will depressing! <br /><br />Oh and douchenozzle... lol.
