Quote

In “I ALONE CAN FIX IT,”@CarolLeonnig and I  (Philip Rucker) journeyed deep behind the scenes to uncover the true peril of Trump’s final year, based on interviews with the highest-level sources and Trump himself.

Book goes on sale 7/20/21...

Lots of discussion on talk shows about this book.... reportedly Donald initially gleeful what his people would do for him..... then as hours passed, hit him exactly what he had done by not stopping insurrection.... Ivanka had  numerous discussions--- had to twist his arm to get him to tweet any response..

 

Part one  ( Inside Trump’s Election Day and the birth of the ‘big lie’)  an excerpt from “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year.” Part two (The inside story of Trumps defiance and inaction on Jan 6th)  can be found here.   Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker will discuss this book during a Washington Post Live event on July 20.

As our country begins this process of revealing the details in the Trump and republican attempt to overthrow our government, I want to offer an opportunity to listen to an interesting story

What Rosen told U.S. senators: Trump applied ‘persistent’ pressure to get Justice to discredit election

If the words and actions of Trump weren't breaking laws then we need better laws.

The protest on January 6th was mostly peaceful and was a demonstration for the lack of investigation into potential voter fraud.  We had to listen to the Alt-Left ramble on about Russian conspiracy theories for 4 consecutive years and then that black supremacist woman who lost the Governor race in GA refuse to accept her election results because "voter suppression".  I think we deserve to see an investigation into potential voter fraud especially considering how hard the alt-left is fighting against common sense laws like Voter ID and pushing for open borders.

 

Its also alarming how the April Insurrection in Oklahoma when the black supremacist domestic terrorist organization BLM stormed the capital armed with assault rifles.  None of those insurrectionists have been arrested or held accountable.  None of them were shot dead like that white female unarmed peaceful protestor who was shot on January 6th.  Hypocrisy at its finest.

Your devotion to Trump's agenda is apparent.  If only you were as devoted to facts, evidence or truth...of course...all of those things are decidedly not prevalent in the Trump cult.  

Are you proudly making excuses for an attack on our republic based upon obvious lies about election security? How gullible are you, exactly?

I wouldn't call an unguided tour an "attack on our republic".  Pushing for open borders and fighting common sense laws such as Voter ID is an attack on our republic.  Your retirement must be pretty boring if you spend your time on a dying nursing forum pushing Anti-American rhetoric. Calling supports of the former president a "cult" is a little odd as well.  Were you a part of the Obama cult?

Of course you wouldn't call it an attack...you are deluded and commenting from the perspective of a cult of personality that supports the destruction of our democratic republic to elevate one narcissist and return him to a position of power that he lost in a free and fair election. 

If you spend your time on a dying nursing forum to spread propaganda that elevates a well known liar and cheat, you are definitely a member of a cult.  Please, please work hard on your projection...you're inability to use it effectively is kind of embarrassing.  Didn't you study that tool in college? You should be able to do better. Especially when you are on the clock...your efforts could be better.

I Alone Can Fix It is a very detailed book, impeccably sourced. But we know that facts are only going to harden the Trumpotic’s dedication to him, so… mic drop. Over and out.

Your disengenuousness would be charmingly naive in a teenager, but not so much in an adult. There are logs showing those "tourists" getting tours of behind-the-scenes in the Capitol Building just before the invasion; there are logs showing the flooding of the different areas as tracked by the cell phones carried by the rioters corellating to them. This and many other of their actions, mostly documented by their own video recordings, texts, and emails, are no secret. That, and anyone who refuses to support any sort of investigation into those actions and others, are what are the deepest threat to the oldest major democracy on the planet.

Nobody, but nobody, is advocating 100% open borders. Case in point: the Afghans we hired for translators and other jobs were deeply vetted before they could go out on patrol c US troops, a process which sometimes took several years.

As to "voter ID," we've had that for years. You know perfectly well that the people this is aimed at are those who don't have driving licenses, are elderly, or have been voting for decades without a birth certificate because there isn't one. The pols pushing these and other voter "integrity" regs have, alas for them, been captured on video saying the quiet part out loud: these measures are narrowly tailored to decrease turnout in non-red areas. Decreasing the number of ballot drop off boxes to ONE in a huge metro area is just part of it.

I know you've heard all that. As he noted, TFG could shoot somebody in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and not be convicted for it, and I expect you'd be among the first to cheer the verdict. I don't think he'll escape all that's coming to him now, even though you're not one for evidence-based conclusions and you'll likely never believe it. Fine. Go to your grave with a MAGA hat on if it suits you-- just don't expect to win this time.

I'd be interested in seeing some sources for these claims.

This should clear it up for you. Most videos are from the insurrectionists’ own phones, and, as you know, are time stamped.

Please direct me to the part of the video supports your claim that there are "logs showing those "tourists" getting tours of behind-the-scenes in the Capitol Building just before the invasion".

Thank you.
