Jeffery Goldberg is an award-winning journalist who is well respected by both conservatives and progressives. His expertise is in foreign policy. If you notice, he has multiple sources on his reporting.
The AP was able to verify multiple parts of his story. With a different source (apparently).
If I was John Kelly, I would’ve slugged him. I don’t care if he’s the president. He would’ve deserved it.
The craziest part was his denial tweets. He said he’s swear on someone or something that he didn’t call military people “losers”. Does anyone remember what he said about John McCain? Like everything he tries to deny, there’s ALWAYS a tweet (from him) that proves he’s a liar. Lying is so ingrained in his behavior that he will do or say anything at any moment to try to escape what he perceived as bad behavior. It’s worked for him up until this point.
Could this be the moment that it stops working? Forget his “base”. They’ve been lost causes for years. Without the support of folks that don’t like him, he cannot win. His unpopularity #’s are too high.
We’ve still got 60 days to go. There will be more horrible (factual) stories about what’s he’s done and who he is. He’s too vile of a person for that NOT to happen.
Again, it’s been clear from the moment he announced that he’s a vile excuse for a person. He only does the things he does because those around him ENABLE him to do those things.
It’s those folks that we should reserve the most contempt for right now. They’ve all known, and chose to stay silent. Until recently, it appears.
Unless he somehow steals the election outright (which is possible w/Barr at his side), I don’t see how he can overcome something like this. Many people have friends/family members in the Military. I don’t know how you could do anything worse to insult them. It shows a complete lack of respect for those that he professes to love and support.
Every time I think the man has reached the bottom, he always manages to prove me wrong.
