It's amazing. It didn't use to be that way, right? The GOP didn't use to attract all the weirdest and not just scientifically illiterate, but science opposing folks, did it? They actually attracted American Exceptionalism instead of American (and abroad) conspiracy loons.

Is it all the fault of the X-Files?

Or, I should say, knee-jerk science opposing folks.

But elsewhere, Mr Woodward reports that Mr Trump had significant trouble distinguishing propaganda and partisan fantasy from reality.

These are some of the most worrying and eye-opening sections of the book.

Trump changed US policy towards the Palestinians after Benjamin Netanyahu showed him a crudely forged video of Mahmoud Abbas ordering murders

During one of his visits to Washington early in Mr Trump’s first year in office, the president reportedly told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he believed his government, not the Palestinians, might be the real problem holding back the peace process.

But, as Mr Woodward reveals, Mr Trump’s tone shifted markedly after his first visit to Israel as president in May 2017.

During a meeting with Mr Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, White House senior advisor Jared Kushner pulled then-secretary of state Rex Tillerson into a meeting because Mr Trump was upset at a video Mr Netanyahu had showed him.

“Watch this! This is unbelievable! You’ve got to see this,” Mr Trump said to Mr Tillerson, before ordering staff to play what Mr Tillerson believed to be a crudely fabricated video of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas making inflammatory statements.

The video, which Mr Tillerson believed was either faked or manipulated (according to Mr Woodward), showed Abbas supposedly ordering the murder of children by stringing together out-of-context words and sentences.

“And that’s the guy you want to help?” Mr Netanyahu asked Mr Trump.

When the Israeli leader (now being tried on corruption charges) had left the room, Mr Tillerson said to Mr Trump: “Mr President, you realise that the whole thing was fabricated?”

“Well it's not fabricated,” Mr Trump replied. “They got the guy on tape saying it.”

The next day, he privately berated Mr Abbas when the two met in Bethlehem, calling him a “liar” and a “murderer” who had “tricked [him]” into believing that the longtime Palestinian leader could be trusted. The next year, he cancelled nearly all US aid to the Palestinian territories and ordered the Palestinian Liberation Organisation’s office in Washington DC to be shuttered.

They`re all traitors to America, why are they not in Gitmo ALREADY???

Just a thought but, with these rioters being lead by white people, when was the last time black communities were overrun and burnt to the ground by masked, uniform-wearing gangs of white men?

In August 2018, PJ Media published an article by then supervising editor Paula Bolyard claiming that Google was manipulating its algorithm to prioritize left-leaning news outlets in their coverage of President Trump.Bolyard acknowledged that her study was "not scientific," though she did conclude that "the results suggest a pattern of bias against right-leaning content." Fact checkers at PolitiFact rated this claim false

In January 2019, PJ Media published a column by their senior editor Tyler O'Neil, in which he insinuated in his article that a Muslim community patrol in New York City might be enforcing Sharia Law and might be linked to the NYPD. This group, the Muslim Community Patrol Service (MCPS) was a certified volunteer Neighborhood watch in Brooklyn, a NYC CERT along with other community patrols such as the Brooklyn Asian Safety Patrol and the Guardian Angels. PJ Media offered nothing that demonstrated the MCPS could, or planned to, “enforce Sharia law,” beyond engaging in the speculative hypothetical that the MCPS might somehow “apply … Sharia in its community monitoring.” Fact-checkers at Snopes rated this claim false.
In February 2019, PJ Media published a column by one of their writers John Hawkins,also creator of Rightwingnews, in which he stated in an article titled "The Six Most Bizarre Proposals from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal" making five out of six claims such as "getting rid of airplanes" or "getting rid of cows", aim to "get rid of gas-powered cars in a decade", call for eliminating carbon emissions in ten years "without the use of nuclear power", or "promise 'economic security' for those 'unwilling to work'". Fact checkers at NewsGuard rated these five claims false which can be further verified by the official government resolution H.Res.109 Green New Deal[30] proposed by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

In January 2020, PJ Media published a column by one of their writers, Robert B. Spencer, also founder and director of the anti-Muslim conspiracy blog Jihad Watch, in which he stated that congresswoman Ilhan Omar had given Iran military advice by suggesting it could target Trump hotels, and thus committed treason.[32] Fact-checkers at Snopes rated this claim false.[33]

In February 2020, PJ Media published a column by one of their writers Victoria Taft also a conservative talk show host, in which she stated that President Barack Obama waited until millions were infected and 1000 dead in the U.S. before he declared the Pandemic H1N1/09 virus an emergency. Fact-checkers at Snopes rated this claim false.

In August, 2020, PJ Media published an article by their Chicago editor Rick Moran claiming Democrats were urging presidential candidate Joe Biden not to debate with President Trump because they were concerned with the former vice presidents mental stamina. The source for this claim cited on the PJ Media article was from Newsweek, but the Newsweek article states that the former vice president was advised not to debate Trump citing "publicity stunts and disregard for the rules in 2016" as well as cancelling debates over concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Newsweek article cited by PJ Media makes no mention about any mental stamina. According to CNN, Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo stated that presidential candidate Biden has already agreed to three debates with President Trump in Fall 2020.

Vote Trump 2020 The dons going for a third term, excellent news and don’t allow anyone with a criminal record the vote
That should keep the democrats out of power for ever,  or at least until they stop breeding
Love it .

If you cross out "Bay of"..

President Trump's decision to restrict travel from China in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus in January was not his idea, journalist Bob Woodward told NBC's "Today."


Woodward reports in his forthcoming book "Rage," that the policy was recommended to Trump at a January meeting by some of the top health experts in the administration, including Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Robert Redfield and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

But how can you tell it’s really the TRUTH if they don’t use caps, edy? TELL ME!

There`s only one side hyena-ing
There`s only one side assassinating The Don`s supporters
There`s only one side screaming for fraudulent voting, exacerbating the risk
There`s only one side screaming `No Surrender, joe, DON`T accept the result, regardless!`
There`s only one side plotting coups
There`s only one side that ignored violent insurrection until lemon put them right
There`s only one side refusing to charge hyenas
There`s only one side`s political leaders personally paying murderers` and rapists` bail

There`s only one side that caused the previous Civil War, in DEFENCE OF SLAVERY!!!
There`s only one side that was so upset at losing their slaves, they founded the KKK!!!
There`s only one side that formed a `Mutual Appreciation Society` with hitler
There`s only one side that have lost a Civil War
There`s only one side that will lose a second, should they instigate it.

President Donald Trump’s campaign warned in a wild, over-the-top text to voters Saturday that antifa will “attack your homes” unless they send money to help Trump win the election.

That message was fired off just days after it was revealed in journalist Bob’s Woodward’s book “Rage” that Trump lied about the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak because he claimed he “didn’t want to create a panic.” He told Sean Hannity earlier this week: “I can’t be jumping up and down and scaring people.”

That message was jarringly out of sync with the Trump campaign warning. It warned: “ANTIFA ALERT: They’ll attack your homes if Joe’s elected. Pres Trump needs you to become a Diamond Club Member. Your name is MISSING. Donate.”

The warning is pure fantasy. There is absolutely no evidence that such an attack will occur. (In fact, according to the Department of Homeland Security, the biggest domestic terror threat in the U.S. is from white supremacists.)

David Legates, a professor of climatology at the University of Delaware who has spent years rejecting the scientific consensus that human activity is causing climate change, confirmed with NPR this weekend that he was hired as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's deputy assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction.

NPR says that this suggests Legates will directly report to Neil Jacobs, the acting head of the agency. Legates would not respond to questions about his new role or specific responsibilities.

NOAA oversees climate research and forecasting. In 2007, Legates co-authored a paper that questioned findings about the role of climate change in destroying polar bear habitats; this research was partially funded by grants from ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Institute lobbying group, and Koch Industries, InsideClimate News reports. He was also in a video promoting the discredited theory that the sun caused global warming.

NPR notes that Legates is affiliated with the Heartland Institute think tank, which is partly funded by the fossil fuel industry and tries to persuade the public that climate change isn't real and evidence provided by the NOAA and other scientific agencies isn't trustworthy. While it's important to have researchers raise questions, their claims must have science to back them up, and Jane Lubchenco, the head of NOAA under former President Barack Obama, told NPR Legates is "not just in left field — he's not even near the ballpark."

The US president, who has blamed the widespread blazes on poor forest management, visited the state on Monday.

Wade Crowfoot, California Secretary for National Resources, told Mr Trump: "We had temperatures explode this summer. You may have learned that we broke a world record in Death Valley. 130 degrees fahrenheit, (54C], but even in greater LA 120 plus degrees.

"If we ignore that science, put our heads in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management, we're not going to succeed in protecting Californians."

The president responded with a smile, saying: "Okay. It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

The state official replied: "I wish science agreed with you."

Mr Trump added: "Oh well. I don't think science knows actually."

The Justice Department has convened a grand jury to criminally investigate whether former national security adviser John Bolton disclosed classified information in his recent book, issuing subpoenas to Bolton's publisher and literary agent, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

Always make me laugh the way they now call the it 'climate change'. Remember when it was 'global warming' and before that 'global cooling'? Of course whatever it is the rules they want implemented only apply to the western world.
