That's what happens when someone tries to humiliate you in front of the entire nation, then casually has you tossed under the bus with the other disgraced politicians. You don't get mad, you write a perfectly legal tell all. The Republicans are eating there own now and the GOP is imploding at an astonishing clip. Truly interesting times.

GlitterRose Posted April 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I wish they would start using spell check. It's annoying that the book isn't even out until Tuesday, and I've already caught two spelling errors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted April 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I reckon that prominent members of the U.S. Establishment want to be fired by America's Donald Trump, as they know they'll be able to make just as much, if not more, than they're earning now (and all the accompanying stress that goes with it) from writing lucrative books explaining how America's Donald Trump is an insane madman, and/or organized crime chief. Same with Hillary R. Clinton; look how much she's made from her bestselling book, It's All Putin's Fault. And, it seems,when you're talking about Prominent Figures, libel laws don't apply, so you can say whatever you like about them and you don't have to have anything to back it up, since everyone automatically believes anything anyone says about Prominent Political Figures, however preposterous. (Not that I'm saying claiming that America's Donald Trump is an organized crime boss is or isn't preposterous, of course, just in case any Libel Lawyers are looking in. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAyMO Posted April 13, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Someone will tweet: "I will write a book, It will be the best book, because, you know I am good with words, people tell me that. It will be real book too, not a fake book, it will have the best words and pages and stuff and a shiny new cover, and a Great name" Any resemblance to real or fictional persons is unintentional and purely a result of your imagination.

+DieChecker Posted April 13, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Should we have expected something different? Maybe... "Yeah, I deserved to be Fired", by James Comey? Hardly surprising that he wrote a book that puts the President in a bad light. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
