I was also referring to Kayleigh Mc-Inane-y declaring the book as bullshit without even seeing it.
Maybe we could have some non-partisan third party - like the Ukrainian government - launch an investigation. That way, nobody here in America would be involving family members in politics.

Am I allowed to say +1?
“None of us really anticipated the amount of community spread that began in really our 18-to-35-year-old age group,” Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the Trump administration’s coronavirus response coordinator, said in a brief appearance on an Atlantic Council panel".
I can hear Trump saying, “no one had ever heard of community spread before”.
Yeah…. I don’t like her.
Imagine a long distinguished career as a reputable medical professional and the only thing you’ll be remembered for is being asked by Trump to look into internal disinfectant cleaning or getting a UV light inside. And nodding, yes. Because what else do you say to an idiot who occupies the oval office
Southeast Christian has a total of NINE campuses in the Louisville, KY area, with plans for a tenth. Look in the “locations” tab for a list.
Remember all of those night time TV hosts whose rants ‘destroyed’ Trump back in late 2016? Or how John Oliver pointing out that Trump’s real family name was Drumpf basically ended his run at becoming President? That’s how effective any ads that are aimed at getting under his skin are going to be.
We have almost four years of proof that anything that upsets Trump doesn’t lead to him doing something that hurts him in the eys of his supporters. It leads to him doing something that hurts Americans.
I’m sure her daughter is thinking about writing a book now. Later chapters will deal with her mom’s hospitalization after a dramatic mental breakdown.
He’d probably think it’s an orgy.
In watching Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC tonight, where she read excerpts from Mary Trump’s book, I stand corrected.
In the book, Mary relates that Donald “took” the SAT while at Fordham, so that he could have a counterpoint to his unimpressive grades at Fordham as he applied to transfer to Wharton (so, it probably would have been early '66). She also names the friend of Trump’s who she says took the test for him, Joe Shapiro.
That isn’t what happened (youtube)
Birx maybe nods when Trump is talking vaguely about the effect of ultraviolet light, but it’s a very subtle nod if so. But when he’s talking about light or bleach in the body, she can’t even looks at him, and if I had to classify her expression, it’s one of despair.
It’s the look of someone reflecting on a long distinguished career as a reputable medical professional and wondering how it came to this.
To be honest, 3.5 years into this clusterfuck, I’m surprised no one has publicly called him an idiot to his face.
Ken Cuccinelli, DHS secretary, says the rule requiring foreign students to go home if they don’t have classes to attend is intended to force schools to hold physical classes.
(Bold added.)
So he is! Just came across this:
Joe Shapiro — the man who took Trump’s SATs for him, Sarah K. Burris, Raw Story, July 7, 2020:
Oh, and this:
My point stands. It’s what we remember most about her and there is a video record to show it. Which isn’t to say she’s to blame for what comes out of that assclown’s mouth. It’s that with very few exceptions, everything and everyone he touches, is soiled by association. Birx does not appear to be that exception. I imagine she thinks it’s beneath her to dignify that comment with a response. She may think it too late to do so. Either way, it’s what the public will remember most about her.
To show what? She didn’t do the thing you accused her of.
Let’s start with an acknowledgment of that before shifting the point.
In terms of the new point, it’s debateable, I think I’d probably cut her a little slack personally.
The president talks a hell of a lot of shit, and to even get to be in that room, you have to have cultivated a perfect mind palace where you can ignore what’s going on and give little away with your expression. And pick your battles carefully.
It would take a lot to snap out of the mind palace in that instant and immediately insert yourself into world politics dramatically.
If it were me, I would probably have done a few interviews afterwards where I explained just how wrong the president was, how much of an idiot he is, of course at the same time as resigning.
But I can understand her decision to just criticize the advice while steering clear of criticizing trump himself, perhaps justifying it to herself that it’s better for her to be in that seat than a true loyalist.
I don’t know what you think I’m accusing her of but you need to climb down off that chair before you hurt yourself.
The video shows her not actively disagreeing but demurring from doing so. Her nod was meant not in agreement with that that orange assclown was asking her to do but a stunned disbelief in what was being asked of her and just wanting to get past the moment.
I am sympathetic to her. However, she could have taken a stronger stance later. She chose instead to (I assume) not dignify it with further comment. It’s the right thing to do under most circumstances and goes to her quality of character. However, as you say, it would serve her and in some sense her legacy, to have pushed back.
Either way, it’s what the public will remember most about her.
Well, it’s what the media will remember most about her (which ultimately becomes much the same).
