'Fire and Fury' may or may not be accurate in its depiction of the Trump White House, but it's poorly proofread, and also claims the Tea Party ousted Boehner from Speaker of the House in 2011.

I'm reading it so you don't have to

Ffffffff

...Godspeed?

Oh my god

I bought it on principle, regardless of its accuracy. He wanted to file cease and desist? I'll own a copy of a potentially banned book then.
Latroma
In reality? It looks like sensationalist trash, which suits the presidency rn appropriately. So I suspect a lot's iffy at best
Flash Bastard
Considering I kept my Ohio residency in 2012 to vote against Boehner one last time, they absolutely did not oust him in '11.
Maraich
It's just a cash grab imo
CricketMomJenn
Well uh I guess I'm here for the popcorn
Latroma
it is. Clearly. // Also Boehner was the smart one for getting out of the House.
Maraich
On top of which, what I heard of it is he talks about a hell of a lot of stuff where he wasn't actually there to witness anything
Latroma
can't believe I said that
Latroma
it's basically a glorified gossip rag.
Maraich
And not the only cash grab preying on the current climate
Maraich
But, I certainly can't tell people what to buy
Maraich
/personally avoids buying these sort of things on principle, even if he has some curiosity
PolyaMixedNuts
I bought it mostly because it's at least sort of relevant to my job. I can write it off on my taxes.

tbh i'm sure it's sensationalized, but considering how little pushback from trump himself he's getting in the legal arena, i'm thinking it's not all that inaccurate about the trump white house
Kαтѕσηα 2025✰
and he says he has the tapes to prove it. i think that alone is saving his ass.
PolyaMixedNuts
very possible, but the book itself makes no distinction between what is interviewed, what is hearsay, what is speculation, which would be easy and journalistically proper
bean check
I'm amused because there's a Canadian writer with a similarly named book about air raids on German civilians in WWII and his book sales have shot up since
bean check
with a few very entertaining Amazon reviews complaining that the book didn't say anything about trump
