July 15, 20214 yr Oh...hello: Quote Fear is mounting, too, about the tea-spilling to come. In particular, Trump officials are anxiously awaiting the books set to be published by actual colleagues, chief among them counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and Jared Kushner, who plan to write their own accounts of the Trump presidency. "I think it’s fraught right now as to who is telling the truth,” said a Trump adviser. "They’re all trying to go back in time and curate their own images.” Privately, former administration officials and top campaign aides have shared concerns about Conway’s upcoming tell-all in particular. The ex-president’s loyal former counselor is expected to give a hold-no-punches account of her time in the White House and those she worked alongside. Conway herself sat down with Trump for her book at Mar-a-Lago.
July 15, 20214 yr I can't imagine Conway is going to be particularly honest. It will be very whitewashed. I would love to be surprised but not thinking I will be.

Conway will be looking to save herself, IMO. She was also rumored to be the main leaker in the White House. I expect it to be savage on others and paint her as someone trying to keep Trump from going even more insane.

Agreed. If her interview with Maher was any indication, this won't be nearly of an honest portrayal as it should be. I'd imagine the same goes for Kushner. I can't imagine he'll throw his father in law under the bus like that, at least not publicly.

As has been noted he comes from a wealthy family, and his association with Trump apparently has not been sunshine and lollipops for them. I still tend to think he views whitewashing his FIL and time in the White House as better for business than a hard break, but who knows.

I'm sure they have butted heads with him privately, but it's a whole other ballgame to start slinging arrows like these publicly. I can't imagine her making that leap but maybe I'm drastically underestimating her contempt for her own father.

Yeah, just like any other dysfunctional relationship, they can crap on each other all day. But if you're an outsider pointing out the dysfunction, they circle the wagons and start coming after you. Eerily similar to the cult as a whole.

There's a reason that she is the one that worries the Trump loyalists the most. She is a political survivor. She's gonna shove EVERYONE under the bus. I'll die laughing if she tries to claim that she was feeding info to her husband the whole time.
July 16, 20214 yr 16 hours ago, Dave Moss said: The general, having listened to Trump spread an array of baseless conspiracy theories and false claims of fraud throughout the final weeks of his term, had drawn parallels with the rise of nazism in 20th century Germany, the book said. "This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley told aides in early January, according to the book. "The gospel of the Fuhrer.”
July 16, 20214 yr George Washington: One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations. They tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism….In governments purely elective, [a spirit of party is] not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose; and there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”
July 16, 20214 yr Allen Weisselberg's ex-daughter-in-law reportedly stuns prosecutors by directly implicating Trump in tax fraud case Jennifer Weisselberg, ex-wife of company employee Barry Weisselberg, Allen Weisselberg's son, claims she was there in 2012 when Trump "personally guaranteed" he would cover school costs "at a top-rated private academy" for her and her husband's children in lieu of a raise, per The Daily Beast. She told prosecutors that Trump had turned to her and said, "Don't worry, I've got it covered,"
