(relatively) about the Trump regime? Is it odd that he has never called Trump a "criminal co-conspirator"?
I never trusted that smirk-ass "independent".

(51,367 posts)He published a book in 2017 titled "Insane Clown President". I haven't read it but it has a pic of Rump on the cover so I doubt if it is about Obama.
He's done a couple more books since then, (Hate Inc. and I Can't Breathe) and I think is currently working on something about the black hole of a money pit that is the Pentagon.

(51,367 posts)The book basically critiques Trump's marketing style. It doesn't go into the shit show that is Trump's White House. The other books you mention aren't about Trump. I Can't Breathe is about the life and death of Eric Garner. Hate Inc. is a rant about the media, not Trump. The full title is "Hate Inc.: How, and Why, the Media Makes Us Despise One Another." From what I can tell, it's a lot of "both sides do it" false equivalence kind of stuff, and basically blaming "the twisted media" for the surge of hate in this country, instead of Trump. Trump would approve of that talking point!

(6,709 posts)nefarious persons--looking at you Erik Prince-- are thick on the ground. It is not true that they are under every bed.
My advice is to look at who stands to profit and that has never struck me as Taibbi's raison d'être.

(51,367 posts)And he wasn't talking about Trump. He was talking about Dems, namely Amy Klobuchar saying she will be tough on Putin. How is being tough on Putin "stupid"???!!!
And he refers to the worst Presidential scandal in American history, where a sitting President betrayed his own country to it's biggest foreign adversary, as "the Russia business"?!
WTF is wrong with him?
Who writes his tweets? Trump?

Matt Taibbi sucks-reaching peak stupidity.. hey genius Gabbard "smears" herself by covering for putin/trump/assad. Anyone who attempts to cover for gabbard isn't reality based.
