Going through the book now and it seems like Bob Woodward did a great job and most of the people Bob talked to are on tapes. Most Americans know the Woodwardis a reputable journalist who brought down Dick Nixon with the help of his colleague Bern Carlstein.

Got mine from Amazon this morning and it's worth the money. On page 23 now and no surprise that the Dotard is going crazy with the assertions in the book. Let's not forget that the people Mr Woodward talked to in the WH are on tapes. If I have to choose betweenTrampy and Woodward, will take the words of Woodward over a pathological and sociopathic liar.

Yes and a Berniecrat, a thoroughbred progressive too. I pray he wins. The single payer health care system and the reform of the criminal justice system are the things that resonant with me so much in his campaign. Loads of colored folks are just unnecessarily institionalised by the racist justice system in this country.

Men approve of the job Trump is doing 50-42% in the new NPR/Marist poll.

But women disapprove of Trump's job 62-28%.

Why are you always making a foool of yourself. Trying to inject yourself to everything about America. It must be a sickness for you and your ill informed friends. America must be the only thing that gets your mojo kicking in life. What a pathetic life you live that the only thing that matters to you in life is a country you have absolutely no ball in.
Before you talk about ''everything about America'' I'm a Huge fan of Serena Williams and we're talking about the game of Tennis, BUT
1. Naomi Osaka won fairly and convincingly. She had already beaten Williams at Indian Wells '18.
2. Umpire enforced penalties according to rules, not his own emotions.
3. Williams should have fought back with her court play instead of manipulating others into thinking she is the poor victim. Generating hatred and other negative emotions.
4. USTA and crowd owes Naomi an apology for their classless actions
5. Those who see the truth of this situation needs to show their love towards Naomi instead of giving attention to what doesn't deserve our attention.

**The worse thing of this whole fiasco....Serena robbed Osaka of fully enjoying her glorious win. Shameful.

That's the problem with you and your likes that always jump into things you have no idea about. Protesting calls in Tennis is as old as Tennis itself. I rememberwhen the likes of Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Andre Aggasi and co will curse at umpires and spit at them but they never lose a point. Serena never cursed but pointed out the mistakes of the umpires and lost 3 points. Even the USTA agreed with Serena but you have to follow the line of Racist Faux News and try to diminish Serena's point. She was the one that asked the spectators not to boo Osaka who greatly admired Serena.

And that's the problem with you and your types (SJWs). Why not cut the crap and call a spade a spade. She lost the plot when she began playing the gender card. When you lose you should lose gracefully, not whine and curse people.

Hush your mouth. I gave you numerous examples of what the men do on tour and a blind foool like you can't fathom that. Andre Agassi spat on an umpire and nothing was done to him. Serena was the one that told the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium to stop booing and she even said Osaka was a better player on that particular day. It's left for foool like you to interject your right wing hateful b.s. to what has no effect on your woeful life.

You can make your point without having to resort to insult, but I guess that is hard to ask though.
Meanwhile, talking about John McEnroe, back in the 1987 US Open final He was actually fined about $7,500 and suspended for 2 months for using profanity and criticising calls. And three years later during the Australian Open final he became the first Tennis Player in History to be defaulted from a Grand Slam. He was fined $6,500 for smashing his racket and yelling at Judges.
https://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/07/sports/mcenroe-draws-fine-suspension.html

The truth is that Serena Williams reacted the way she did emotionally because she was losing the match. It wasn't the first time she lost to Osaka, She had lost to the same opponent earlier this year in Florida, Was that due to Sexism? Or What?!

Her First Violation was for side - coaching - which attracted Warning.
Her second Violation was her smashing the racket on the ground
Her third violation was calling the umpire a Thief

My question to you is, Did the other guys you mentioned commit all these three violations in one Game?
The same Umpire gave code violations to Murray, Rafa and Djokovic in 2016 even at high stakes match.

After all tried and failed, Democrats, led by Feinstein, are now back to their oldest playbook tricks - sexual misconduct allegation, against Kavanaugh. This is a last ditch effort to delay his confirmation. Reminds me of a similar tactic they tried against Clarence Thomas back in1991. And they say this was all the way back from Kavanaugh's high school days. grin.

These folks are very pathetic, what a shame! She said she received a letter, won't tell anyone what's in the letter, and yet leaked it to Press while handing it over to the FBI? All I see is #RedWave in November mid terms. The latest DNC move to delay Kavanaugh won't do them any favours at all.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/14/former-trump-campaign-chairman-paul-manafort-appears-to-reach-plea-deal-823882

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort reaches plea deal - The plea deal calls for a 10-year cap on how long Manafort will be sent to prison, according to a source.

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed to plead guilty in a foreign-lobbying and money laundering case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.

The plea deal, set to be officially announced at an 11 a.m. court appearance in Washington, D.C., calls for a 10-year cap on how long Manafort will be sent to prison, and for Manafort to serve time from his separate Virginia and Washington cases concurrently, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

It's a move that legal experts quickly spun as a win for all the parties involved. Manafort gets a potentially shorter sentence and lessens his legal bills. Trump avoids several weeks of bad headlines ahead of the midterm elections about his corrupt former campaign aide. And Mueller — faced with Trump's constant claims that his probe is a witch hunt — gets to show yet again that his charges are not fabricated and can now divert resources to other elements of his probe into Russian election interference and whether the Trump campaign collaborated with the Kremlin on its efforts.
