(This is where 6ix writes "LOL" and Signym writes some version of "Pot calling kettle black"...)
I wrote both the LOL and the "Pot, meet Kettle".

“You look at the operation of this White House and you have to say, ‘Let’s hope to God we don’t have a crisis’,” he added in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS Sunday Morning.
Did you comprehend, 6ix?

Yup.
I understood that Mr. Woodward isn't going to have to rely on those royalty checks from Robert Redford anymore.

Woodward, whose new book Fear: Trump in the White House hits bookstores on Tuesday, described the incident in the interview with CBS as the most dangerous moment of Trump’s nuclear standoff with North Korea.
“He drafts a tweet saying ‘We are going to pull our dependents from South Korea – family members of the 28,000 people there,’” Woodward said, referring to families of US troops stationed on the Korean peninsula.
The tweet was never sent because of a back-channel message from the North Koreans that they would view it as a sign the US was preparing to attack, according to CBS.
“At that moment there was a sense of profound alarm in the Pentagon leadership that, ‘My God, one tweet and we have reliable information that the North Koreans are going to read this as ‘an attack is imminent.’”

Why should I believe this any more than the "Iraq WMD" or the "RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!RUSSIA" narrative?

Quote:Signym, if you are now the official apologist for Trump, why not use your imagination to write that Trump thoughtfully, carefully ran his tweet past his military advisors before he touched the Enter key? When the advisors told Trump he was about to accidentally start a war with North Korea, he wisely erased the tweet? That way, Signym, you make Trump look like he is organized and understands what he is doing, rather than he is the King of Chaos.

I have read ... and of course I have no way of proving or disproving either way ... that OUTSIDE of the USA, USA foreign policy as seen as There is Trump ... and then there is the 'deep state'. I have heard that Trump and Kim Jong Un, for example communicate by sealed letter, couriered by a person known to Trump, and that the tweets are often disinformation, designed to confuse Trump's "resistors".
What I have OBSERVED is that the rhetoric really flies, right before a behind-the-scenes settlement. The other thing I have observed is that Trump - unlike previous Presidents - really is attempting to make good on his campaign promises.
As I posted, the Trump administration is cloaked in unpredictability; and I think this is deliberate.

Quote:You are now an apologist for Trump, Signym. And a very imaginative one, too! Who did you read? Who wrote it that has his reputation to protect, so he would not just create or manufacture "alternative" facts solely to make Trump look good? Woodward has a real reputation to protect, so he doesn't just make up facts to make Trump look bad.

Signym, your best move, next, is to take down Woodward and his sources as being self-glorifying, insinuating that the book is nothing but lies to make Trump look bad and the sources look good. Kellyanne Conway shows how that is done. Kellyanne doesn't need any facts. She can pretend she has them without sharing those facts on TV. It requires zero preparation by Kellyanne, other than to look nice and speak well. Very efficient work by her:

Who's an apologist, and what makes Woodward so beyond reproach?
Trump was elected nearly 2 years ago now and that's nearly 2 years where every single goddamned day the media has attacked him for anything from eating too much McDonalds to singlehandedly bringing Russia on our shores and into our homes.
Fuck you, Second.
Seriously.
Cunt.

SECOND, it's not Woodward and his "source" it's Woodward and his (mostly) anonymous sources. So first of all, I don't trust anonymous sources.
And his NAMED sources all deny that they ever said anything like what's in his book. How do you account for that? What good does it do to print someone's statement, only to have it denied by the very person who supposedly said it?
I agree with SIX: Ever since Trump got elected, it's been nonstop bullshit from the M$M. And it's no surprise that the criticism would ramp up two months before the mid-terms. This is not honest reporting. The RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!! narrative failed; this is obviously just a different tack timed to drive Trump from office. If this had TRULY been a problem, you'd think that it would have been "reported" first, BEFORE the pointless exercise in Russophobia was attempted.
When I see so many DIFFERENT approaches all aimed at the same goal (9-11, yellowcake! mushroom could! biological weapons! tyranny!) and I see these attempts accelerating on a schedule I know I'm looking at propaganda; and you should too.
Don't mistake my criticism of the M$M as a defense of Trump, there's a lot to criticize about the M$M, mostly their dishonesty.
