Rick Wilson, re Woodward's book: Prepare for a WH purge.





When I was a young aide in the DOD, Bob Woodward was working on "The Commanders." Look up "Mike Dugan" and Woodward. I've seen this UP CLOSE.

Imma tell you something; unlike some people, he records these interviews. He grinds and grinds and grinds.

Prepare for a WH purge.

...should move to have the White House completely torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. That’s the only way to remove the orange stain of dishonor from it.

who knows what sort of listening devices/bugs have been implanted by Trump and his toadies? Why was the press shut out that meeting with the Russians in early 2017? Did the Russia "media" leave behind bugs? If Omarosa can record everybody, imagine what a random Russian "janitor" can do?

We're into blood oath territory at this point. The GOP isn't going to turn its back on Trump or even admonish him. They're in this all the way down to the ground, like Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

it depends on the meltdown. I think it's going to happen. And it's going to be so psychotic or heinous or embarrassing or criminal or un-P.C. that they'll have to replace him. Trump coukd also suffer a physical breakdown, real or fake, that allows him a face-saving exit -- heart attack or stroke, for example.

over and over Carl Bernstein just said on CNN. "This is tRump naked before the US", he said and, "He is reckless, incompetence, and has lack of concern for the country. This is a national emergency. He is a danger to our country".

He said Kelly should resign with a statement and say he is willing to tell any and all committees in Congress what he has seen and whether or not he is fit to serve.

He's supposed to chair - or at least participate- on a UN security council committee meeting on Iran. He needs his war as badly as both Bushes did.

dropping since he wants to increase the age that Russians will be able to retire. To boost his numbers he now has Putin TV showing regularly how strong and wonderful he is. The reporter also said that the last time this happened he started a war.
I immediately thought of the moron and how everyone says he would likely start a war as a distraction when Mueller gets too close.

We are living in very scary times. No one should feel safe.

Yes he does. And unfortunately so do the Ayatollahs in Iran. Their economy is in tatters, the "moderate" leading the government has lost all credibility and most of his support, and the hard liners are looking for an opportunity to overthrow him, blame all Iran's problems on him, and purge all moderate influences. I cannot see how we're going to avoid a war, and the economic repercussions of all out war in the Persian Gulf.

I just saw a YT video by a right wing channel where it showed a couple of people helping Hillary walk up a few steps (at Aretha Franklin's Memorial). The comment section was unbelievable. All the hate directed toward her was just sad. And a lot of them made comments saying how America dodged a bullet blah blah.
