Watch the video...

Miller: Why don't you give me three minutes to tell the truth about Donald Trump. The Donald Trump that I know. The Donald Trump that the campaign knows.
Tapper: Because it's my show and I don't want to do that.
<snip>
Tapper: You are speaking to an audience of one and you have wasted enough of my viewer's time.

 

This is clearly one of those situations where there is one guy (Tapper) who literally knows nothing about the inner workings of the White House, but believes he does... demanding that another person (Miller) who literally knows almost everything about the inner workings of the White House... talk about the White House from the perspective that his (Tapper's) own personal beliefs are correct.

When Miller refuses to play along... he basically tells Miller that nobody is interested in him telling his story about the President and the inner workings of the White House (other than the President) and that doing so is a waste of his viewer's time. Tapper, apparently doesn't realize that this 100% confirms the Trump criticism that CNN is only interested in negative stories about the President. Tapper effectively admits that anyone saying something good about the President is a "waste of time".

Meanwhile, Steve Bannon has come out and admitted that the new Wolff book not only misquotes him, but also mis-characterizes his beliefs. He specifically disowns the statements about the Trump Jr  Russian lobbyist meeting. He specifically states that he has complete faith in the President. In other words, anything Tapper suggests is the truth (based on Wolff quoting Bannon) was effectively wrong. Something I doubt he will apologize for.

Trump likes to surround himself with people who don't take any shit. Kelly Conway, Nikki Haley, Miller, Mattis.

Tapper used to be semi-objective until he went to cnn .

Trump surrounds himself with people who are loyal to him, not the country. None of them question his behavior. Just get on their knees and pledge of allegiance to President

Question behavior??

He's not a politician you moron. Of course he does things differently.

Being different doesn't mean mentally ill. Do just bc shove your ignorant rhetoric right up your ass.

C.H. Truth said...

Basically Roger...

Tapper admitted that he wasn't interested in hearing Trumps side of the story. Suggested that nobody (other than Trump was interested in his side of the story) and that to allow someone from the Trump administration to provide his side to the story would be a waste of time...

and then subsequently cut him off.

Why would you support this sort of media that only is willing to report one side of the story... and openly admits as such.

WASH POST: MUELLER MAY INVTERVIEW TRUMP -- WITHIN WEEKS...

I think it's probably misinformation, like so much before about the investigation. But if true, it could portend either of two things. The person of most interest is interviewed after gathering information from subordinates, to see if he's lying and if so it points to the investigation's next steps if any. That means it's wrapping up. OR, it could mean a pro-forma interview (as with Clinton) as a precursor to killing the investigation.

Either of those would be an interesting development, given that most believe that we've got another year ahead of this. But I don't really believe it.

Very sloppy. ABC News has a story about Loretta Lynn falling and breaking her hip on their web site. Beneath the headline is a captioned video of Loretta Lynch being sworn in for her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee after being nominated for Attorney General.

James said...

Yes, just watch the video. Miller kept trying to return to the same old thing, how he has been with Trump often in the past and has seen him to be an effective leader, rather than answer Tapper's repeated questions. Finally Tapper had enough of it and cut him off.

And of course people who spoke candidly to Wolf are now trying to walk back what they said.

How to Judge Michael Wolff’s Book
January 8,John Podhoretz:

“I’ve read half of Wolff’s book. It is as unprincipled and cartoonish and full of fancies masquerading as facts as I thought it would be. It’s the work of a journalistic malefactor.

“But it doesn’t strike me as false.”

Mueller Signals He Wants Interview with Trump

Special counsel Robert Mueller “has raised the likelihood with President Trump’s legal team that his office will seek an interview with the president, triggering a discussion among his attorneys about how to avoid a sit-down encounter or set limits on such a session,” the Washington Post reports.

Said one source: “This is moving faster than anyone really realizes.”
“However, the president’s attorneys are reluctant to allow him to sit down for open-ended, face-to-face questioning without clear parameters.”

James said...

Oh yes. Can you imagine Trump having to answer questions in an open-ended, face to face with Mueller and other expert questioners. Bombastic blather would not help him much there.

Oh to be a fly on the wall.

Bannon Was Against Trump Before He Was For Him
January 8
“Before Donald Trump and Steve Bannon were enemies, they were allies. And not long before that, Bannon was part of an effort to sink Trump’s presidential hopes — even if Trump didn’t know it,” CNN reports.

“A conservative watchdog group led by Bannon tried to discredit Trump in the early stages of the 2016 Republican presidential primary by shopping a document alleging that Trump had ties to mobsters.”
Even a Strong Economy Isn’t Lifting Trump

Nate Cohn: “The stock market has surged. Unemployment is at 4.1 percent. ISIS has largely been vanquished from Iraq and Syria.

“But despite it all, Donald J. Trump’s approval ratings are mired in the upper 30s. No president has had worse ratings at this stage of his term since modern polling began more than three-quarters of a century ago.

“Setting aside the question of how much credit first-year presidents deserve for a strong economy — they have less influence than you might think — President Trump’s ratings should be much better. A 4.1 percent unemployment rate, the lowest in 17 years, is more typically associated with a 60-plus-percent approval rating for a first-term president.”

The CNN article above concludes:

"What's happened now is a strong majority of the country has decided that they deeply oppose Donald Trump, and it's not based primarily on policy," notes Wehner. "It's based primarily on their judgment that he's not fit to be president. The Republican Party is in a position of standing there and making the opposite argument -- and there's going to be a price for that."

Gorka Confirms He Was Told to Cooperate with Wolff

Former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka wrote in The Hill that he was instructed to cooperate with Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff while working at the White House, but ultimately declined because he had a “gut feeling” the book would be biased against Trump.

Gorka did not say who told him to talk to Wolff.

the left has never been very good at keeping its bullshit straight. it relies on the stupidity of the american public to push its narrative of the day.

see the latest in the mueller saga - "GASP!!!" "will trump testify if asked???"

i'm sure that trump will do what he's legally bound to do. but the left needs drama so nbc pushes out another anonymously sourced story.

Trump doesn't care about blue collar workers. I'm well aware of the issues with OSHA. They require work safety precautions that reduce the risk of death. Well Trump is planning to cut the funding.

There are fewer workplace safety inspectors under the Trump administration, according to new data obtained by NBC News.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lost 40 inspectors through attrition since Trump took office, information the outlet received through a Freedom of Information Act request shows, and vacancies remained unfilled as of last Oct. 2.

The decline accounts for 4 percent of OSHA's total federal inspection force, which was under 1,000 in early October, the report said.

Tasked with assuring health and safety of American workers, OSHA relies on its workplace inspectors to find safety violations and flag hazardous working conditions.

My guess is tapper knows a whole lot more

Tapper knows shit. The only questions he asked were based on unsubstantiated media reports. Such as the NY Times reporting regarding the various drafts of the letter written about Comey's termination. The Times and Tapper's suggestion was that later drafts dropped the portion of the letter that referred to the Russian investigation.

It makes for a grand conspiracy. Of course, it's based on misinformation.

Miller basically answered the question in a manner that exposed the misinformation. He stated that even in the final released version of the letter... the letter referred to the Russian investigation in the opening statement, just as the earlier drafts did. He even challenged Tapper to look at the released version of the letter.

Tapper was obviously flustered and frustrated by that. It's much more difficult to promote dishonest conspiracy theories when someone corrects you on fact.


Bottom line, Opie. Miller has been and still is an significant part of the Trump administration. Tapper is a media personality.

The fact that you believe a media personality knows more about the inner workings of the Trump administration than one of the Trump administration insiders is proof positive that you are an idiot.

Small-business confidence hit a record high in 2017, according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

The right-leaning lobbying group on Tuesday released its latest index of small-business optimism, capping what it said was "an all-time record-setter" of a year.

The index came in at 104.9 in December. The NFIB says the index's average monthly level last year was 104.8, the highest in the history of its survey.

Juanita Duggan, the group's president and CEO, pinned the increase in optimism on policy changes under President Donald Trump.

"With a massive tax cut this year, accompanied by significant regulatory relief, we expect very strong growth, millions more jobs, and higher pay for Americans," Duggan said in a release.


The NFIB's chief economist, Bill Dunkelberg, also credited the surge in optimism to Trump.
