    Reading is like traveling, whether back in time or to future worlds or even into the minds of interesting people. I recently read a new book about Edison that started at his death and went backwards. Took awhile to get used to. Brilliance coupled with tenacity and tunnel vision. He was amazing. When he died they dimmed lights around the world to mark his passing.

    This is an easy read and fascinating. I never realized how much money these news people make, no wonder they are more propaganda than news. No matter your political leanings you'll enjoy it.

    Sounds like a disinformation campaign.

    Your link just proves you're all about pointing fingers at one side while ignoring the other side doing the same thing. Your double standards shine midcan5.

    Now run away midcan5, it's what you do so well.

    Except there literally dozens of books written by insiders, former insiders, former appointees that were his fair haired boys and to a person all point out what a shttt show he is, more like a child than some competent leader. I have read about 10 so far. When Melanoma writes hers it should be hilarious.

    Except the other side never elected a petulant whining child to run the country who suckked up to a Putin because of flattery while ignoring the entire American Security agencies intel on Russian bllsthttt cause he knew Vladdy was telling him the truth........SMGDDMH

    Is midcan5's avatar a young Aldous Huxley? He expanded my vocabulary, many decades ago.

    All deep state that were going to leave anyways. Some stayed just to try to screw up his Presidency.

    When you threaten the jobs of big government then the reaction is going to be sabotage. Trump's one mistake was to not wipe out the staff and any resistors to change. Obama had him set up with left wing indoctrination. Can you actually call some of these people in the pentagon fighting men? They are puzzies.
