You don’t learn anything from other obviously biased people taking his words and using them for their own agenda, either. At least if you read directly from the source you know there’s only one agenda to watch out for.

Comey is a dirt bag. He is so awful he manages to make Trump look like a paragon of virtue. He is providing proof that the FBI is a bunch of incompetent political hacks and that we now live in a banana republic. But he is proud of what he does. That he is popular tells us how far we’ve sunk.

I left for the same reason.
I’m still a registered republican because I need to change it in person and haven’t had time.
I’ll be an independent now.

I’m reading the book.
It’s not bad. It’s maybe a little dry.
It’s a memoir of his life. It has stories about his youth. About people he could look up to. He tells about a home invasion where a rapist was apparently targeting his sister, and held his brother and him hostage.
He talks about mafia convictions. I wish he talked more about that, I found that interesting.
He talked about losing his baby to sepsis soon after birth. That was touching. My own son had sepsis as well, it just reminded me on how blessed we were.
So far that’s where I’m up to.
The only problem I have with the book is that it might be a bit dry. But he’s trained as a lawyer, legal writing tends to be dry.

I saw he dyed his hair darker.
His book promotion tour , is facing some backlash.
I wonder if he has security - to protect him
Or if women fans - are slipping him their phone numbers …

Next, he talks about the Martha Stewart conviction. Presents a side of it that I had not heard before.

Made a good dent last night.
This is a fascinating book.
The pardon of Scooter Libby, this book shines a new light (for me).

Well, he’s being hit hard by both sides on his performance. I think getting a balance of commentary is essential.

In my experience, if both sides are unhappy, you are doing something right

One or the other.
My vote is for incompetence based on explicit knowledge of how he did handle several things.

Have you ever read someone else’s journal? It is boring and disjointed.
This is because writing is a craft, a skill. Every modern autobiography has a professional biographer and a professional editor who assists the fledgling writer.

Sorry, but Kim Jong-un doesn’t even do that. He tries, but the President thwarts all who make the attempt by continuing to tweet things that are factually incorrect. The President can’t complain that the media are ruining his reputation with “fake news” when he repeatedly lies to us directly in ways that we can identify all by ourselves!!
We do not live in a lawless nation. Our law enforcement, while not perfect, is still among the most competent, law-abiding and apolitical on the planet. You are only proving Comey’s claim that it has been the President’s aim to falsely lead people to believe that our law enforcement is not to be trusted, which is to my mind the greatest disservice to our country that he has done.
A lot of us wish there was a political party in the US that contained neither Donald Trump nor Nancy Pelosi nor Jill Stein. I’m not holding that wish against anybody.
I’m going to wait until the line dies down at the library. It will either still be relevant when I get to read it for free or I will save some time not reading something that no one cares about 15 months later.
Either that, or you really messed up big time. It could go either way.In my experience, if both sides are unhappy, you are doing something right
It could also be that both sides are going to be unhappy no matter what you do. I’m afraid that is the default guess from me for now.
This book came out really fast and as far as I know Comey has no literary or writing background at all. That is not a recipe for a great piece of literature, whether it is fiction or nonfiction.

Trump does a P T Barnum act. But everyone knows, or should know, he does that. Comey tries to act like he is better than that. But he isn’t at all. Thus Trump is actually more honest.
Our law enforcement may be better, and I don’t think they are, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t lawless. That just means police are awful the world around. I don’t know that our police are particularly law abiding. I read plenty of stories of them breaking the law. And they are a law unto themselves thus they aren’t even held to the standards everyone else is. They investigate and clear themselves of any crime.
Distrust of law enforcement is a virtue. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

For what it is worth, I could concede that Trump is true to himself. Even when he’s doing something outrageous, it is hardly something that no one could have ever imagined he would do. Something no one had imagined a POTUS would do, sure, but not anything that no one thought Donald Trump would ever do.
I think Comey probably lowered his reputation by writing the book he wrote. Trump has had a reputation as being willing to say whatever it took to make things go his way since “Art of the Deal” was published. No one was ever going to hire him to teach a business ethics course.
Do they, by and large, have higher or lower moral standards than the taxpayers they serve and protect?
You can’t get blood out of a turnip. I think they do very well. The best would say that there are bad apples that make it necessary to watch them more than they would like.
Mr. Trump is not saying that no one is above being watched. He is trying to say those who have the duty to watch him should be disbelieved right out of the gate, not that their evidence ought to be weighed dutifully.
The President, to be blunt, would have done better to remain quiet. I’m sure he’s been told that. I don’t know why he won’t believe it, but perhaps he has never learned when it would be better to remain quiet and no one is going to change him now that he’s past 70 years old.
