I'm torn about whether I want to read Cassidy Hutchinson's book.

[madaboutharry]

I am sure it is riveting. And I think she speaks and writes with total credibility.

I’m worry it would be bad for my mental health.

[claudette]

1. Me too

I don’t think I can stand to read how horrible Dump and his magats are.

[pwb]

2. I know.

It is like we have heard it all?

[RandySF]

3. She should have known better than to go and work for Trump.

[Ocelot II]

6. She was very young. I don't blame her for wanting to work at the White House

at such a high level. It probably seemed like a great opportunity for a young person wanting a career in the government. A lot of much older, more experienced people got hornswoggled by TFG, too. She has more courage than most of them.

[RandySF]

10. She wrote that she approved of things he did before the election.

Does that include kids in cages and pressuring Ukraine?

[Ocelot II]

17. I haven't read the book and I don't know what she knew when she took the job.

She's done us a service by testifying to the J6 committee and revealing what she saw at the WH. I may not agree with her politics but I appreciate her courage in coming forward, where a lot of people haven't.

[RandySF]

20. She told the truth.

The bare minimum.

[madaboutharry]

18. I think republicans lack empathy.

They are wired differently than we are. It bothers me and it hurts me that they can be so heartless.

I’ll never understand why someone is a republican. But I also think that not all republicans are monstrous people.

[madaboutharry]

7. That is true, but I always strive to credit epiphanies.

That she once supported Trump, in my opinion, demonstrates a deep character flaw. But this woman has changed. People deserve second chances.

[emulatorloo]

11. See my post quoting pnwmom below.

I think you and I probably can agree w what pnwmom said.

[onecaliberal]

13. In the book she says she adored him. Rachel read the quote. 😳

[RandySF]

16. She only turned after getting caught up in the investigation.

Sorry, no pass from me.

[we can do it]

19. Same here.

[onecaliberal]

21. After January 6th. In her own words. No pass from me either. She is a Reagan con.

Still ideologically wrong.

[Ocelot II]

4. It's more like the cherry on the shit sundae. We already know a lot of the craziness

from previous books and articles, but this is probably the most detailed eyewitness account. I've read the others and I'll read this one.

And it will make a great screenplay someday, when they start making the movies and tv series.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. I am troubled by the values that got her into that mess.

But I also wonder how Nicole Wallace served the GWB White House.

[Ocelot II]

8. I welcome everyone who sees the errors of their ways; I won't damn them

for making the errors in the first place. I believe in redemption.

9. pnwmom: She was an idealistic young woman, raised in a Republican family, and the first generation

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218302235#post7

She was an idealistic young woman, raised in a Republican family, and the first generation in her family to go to college. I don't blame her for viewing it as an honor to be offered a job in the White House.

But that idealism is ALSO what led her to go public with her story, and her testimony was PIVOTAL.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. She came across as idealistic on Rachel's show tonight

I just equate idealism with youthful ignorance. So not yet fully adoptive of GOP partisan politics.

[emulatorloo]

15. Agreed.

[bdamomma]

12. What

Cassidy is saying is the truth as what she said at Jan6th Committee Hearings.

tRump cannot get in the WH again, he will destroy the country. He's dangerous and he needs to be in prison.

[BlueIdaho]

22. We have ordered the book and we will both read it.

It’s important we never forget the level of depravity and evil demonstrated by people that can look straight into the camera and lie like nobody’s business. She sheds new light and that makes it a worthwhile use of my time. I remember when my little community was fighting against the Aryan Nations here in north Idaho - sunshine is the best disinfectant.

[IA8IT]

23. she's still a pubic ann

[madaboutharry]

25. That is a gross term.

It is like calling her the C word.

[Ocelot II]

26. It is. It's disgusting and sexist.

[madaboutharry]

27. It is terrible.

A man would not have been called that term.

Women still have to fight to be treated decently.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. But men get called dicks all the time, even here. Just because sex...

parts are mentioned doesn't always make it sexist.

[madaboutharry]

30. The term used above was a stand in for the C word,

and the C word is never ok.

I agree that the word dick is rude, but it is not seen as having the same level of vulgarity.

And I think it was meant to be sexist.

[tavernier]

24. I'll get the Audible version.

I get a credit each month for any book. I think she is the reader, so that’ll make it even more interesting.

[Earth-shine]

29. I don't need to read it. The highlights will be on TV for quite some time.

Soon enough, there will be a movie.
