I didn't, but that's once Bannon was out. He started this a while back, but he was taking it easy and sizing up the situation. Steve Bannon may be many foul things, but he's not an unintelligent man at all.

There is a live reading site here:

Fire and Fury live reading: Follow our journey through Trump

People who are reading the book are posting excepts and comments as they go. Interesting stuff. And yeah, I'm really glad Bannon was ousted. As many have noted here, he had a plan--one that was devastating to the country. Trump is simply a fool who is influenced by the last person he talked to. Bannon cannot be led around by the nose like Trump, which made him much more dangerous.

Bannon's billionaire backer Mercer has pulled the plug on funding Bannon's agenda in the past few days. Bannon is trying to figure out where he belongs in the political spectrum. Mercer was funding Brietbart and Bannon. That's why Bannon backed down the other day and praised Trump. Bannon's probably begging Mercer to reinitiate the funding and she might do it if he continues to kiss Trump's ring.

This is all about power and money. Billionaires are behind the scenes controlling things. Swamp hasn't been drained.

The biillionaire Mercer family also attached Bannon and Kelly Ann Conway to the Trump campaign.

Default Rebekah Mercer Chooses Trump Over Bannon

This was a devil's decision. I wonder if she has a hotline to Beelzebub? She has all the charm of Morticia's cousin, on "The Addams Family". She and her father believe that a wealthy stockbroker, is a thousand times more important than a teacher, who makes barely enough to survive in today's inflated economy. People who are disabled and unable to work, have no value at all to them or negative value. Put the Mercers in charge and see what their solution would be to that.

For someone that Donald refers to as "sloppy Steve," didn't Trump put Bannon on the National Security Council within weeks after taking office? That would make it seem that Trump not only trusted Bannon, but held him in high regard. Trump is also on video referring to Steve Bannon as "a good friend" and "a good, good guy."


And now Trump is dragging him through the mud, saying Bannon has "lost his mind" and "we never talked." Donald Trump is contradicting himself left and right.

A sure bet is that all the WH staff will and spend the weekend reading it. Likely in horror when (or if) they find their own quotes.

And, of course, Mueller and his staff will.

Wouldn't that be cute, to see Melania reading the book to The Donald, so he could know what was actually in it?

I'm sure the Breitbart Bros will take it well that a woman is undermining their leader.

LORDY, WOLFF HAS TAPES! Another layer of evidence for Mueller. Mueller's got a mountain of evidence on Trump.

No matter what happens, I just thank God everyday that Hillary didn't win. President Trump did. Imagine if she were in office? Ugh. What could she possibly sell that she hasn't sold already?
