The percentage of people who read it all in order to get the proper context is minuscule.
I would say probably near nonexistent.
The Person in Question
I certainly don’t read it all. But I’m smart enough that I don’t need context. 😉
I seem to remember Jeebus cheering on WikiLeaks during the run-up to the election. Wonder how he feels about them now?
I don’t know about him, but my thoughts were always that we shouldn’t ignore the shady stuff exposed by WikiLeaks purely because it came from WikiLeaks.
Unless it’s shady only because they trimmed out the context that would have revealed that it was normal (like their Mueller hit job)
It wasn’t though, the context was all there. Sure, the tweet was dishonest, but they didn’t remove contradicting information. They fooled only the people who look at the tweet and take it at it’s word; anybody who cared even remotely to follow up the information looked at the actual document. My point is, there may be reason to doubt the contents of the leaks in the future; but this isn’t it.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”
If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with reading through the entire WikiLeaks 2016 campaign email dump?
Even by Trump standards, it’s kind of breathtaking to realize how spectacularly bad/incompetent his last week was. Can’t wait for this week to unfold!
Oh my God.

WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.
Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff.
The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.
I almost could not believe the headline.
In other news:
Trump has reached his highest disapproval rating and lowest approval rating yet. Mr. Popular he is not.
I wonder if Ferris now has any regrets with how he voted in the last election.
Ahahahaha.

Highest Stock Market EVER, best economic numbers in years, unemployment lowest in 17 years, wages raising, border secure, S.C.: No WH chaos!
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. No means yes.

Oh my God, didn’t you just see that that was already linked to‽
No I did not, and I have no idea how I missed it. Sorry about that.

Farewell, vaguely mafioso lawyer looking, pottymouth interview giving guy with a name like a Bond supervillain. We hardly got to know you.
Where were you in '77?
They might as well install one of these at the White House.

Mr Trump’s spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders, said the president thought Mr Scaramucci’s comments to the reporter “were inappropriate for a person in that position”.

Just counting the days until Trump fires himself.
Joe Arpaio, a former Arizona sheriff whose extreme stance on illegal immigration made him a household name, was convicted Monday of criminal contempt of court for ignoring a judge’s order to stop detaining people because he merely suspected them of being undocumented immigrants.
U.S. District Judge Susan R. Bolton wrote that Arpaio had shown a “flagrant disregard” for the court’s command, and that his attempt to pin the conduct on those who worked for him rang hollow.
“Not only did Defendant abdicate responsibility, he announced to the world and to his subordinates that he was going to continue business as usual no matter who said otherwise,” Bolton wrote.
A Justice Department spokeswoman said Arpaio faces up to six months in prison at his sentencing, which is scheduled for October 5. Arpaio’s attorney said he would appeal in order to get a trial by jury. He had been convicted after a trial in front of Bolton.
Lock him up! Lock him up!
Just counting to infinity.

You’re using the masculine pronoun in an exclusively feminine accusative phrase. The masculine form is: Pardon him! Pardon him!
Now, write it out a hundred times, and don’t do it again!
A great day at the White House!
That is the entire tweet.
Suddenly there’s a lot of sense coming out of Arizona. Jeff Flake wrote this today:
