Well the Russians are probably good for another last minute "revelation about Biden".

I hate that this is a perfectly reasonable expectation and not a crazy conspiracy theory.

But what exactly will move the needle? I think even they know there's almost nothing that will change people because voting for Biden is far more about getting rid of Trump. I think they've moved on to trying to figure out how to cheat because that's probably Trump's best chance at this point. More Hunter Biden #### changes nothing. Even if Biden murdered 60 hookers, I doubt it changes much.

Trump's a moron. Why wouldn't he?

What is bizarre is why would all the people around Trump let him talk to Woodward? Bunch of monkeys.

At this point I don't think the needle will move much on Trump.

Biden on the other hand. There is a subset of voters that would say "Biden wore wingtipped shoes at a press conference last week, he's clearly losing it, I'm staying home. Biden wearing wingtips is equally as bad as Trump doing nothing on COVID, locking kids in cages, alienating our allies while cozing up to dictators, and asking foreign countries to help him cheat to win the election... Imma stay home"

That is a bit disrespectful to monkeys.

Fanning the flames of race relations and attitudes towards police would be the most obvious Russian move and the one most likely to hurt Biden.

I binge read Cohen's book Disloyal, pretty much confirmed how sick and twisted Trump is. Great read.

Trump is an arrogant bast**d who thinks he can control every situation. I imagine that he believed he could manipulate Woodward and the interviews would give him the attention he craves without damaging his reputation or his election chances.

I hope that Woodward’s work brings down a second president.

I think by now it's pretty clear Trump cannot be dissuaded when he wants to do something.

God damn. Just watching this Trump presser just makes your head explode hahaha. I wish some of these fake media journalists would just call him an effing con artist.

"If the china virus was so bad, why wouldn't Woodward report it to the authorities right away after the interview?"

What can you do but laugh at this sit?

Watches Fox all the time. Listens to the lies and propaganda that channel spews and uses it to 'prove' the truth as he wants you to see it. We all knew Fox is basically running the country right now, but it is asinine to hear him mention how many Fox shows he watches. No wonder so many people in that country have had their brains warped by that garbage network. Sad.

Very disrespectful, considering we need as many as possible now...

Some more content was released from Woodward's book today including Trump bragging that he protected Saudi Crown Prince after that journalist was murdered and "saved his ass".

America is truly the beacon of democracy and leader of the free world!

It’s really is too bad that Woodward and all sorts of other countries, scientists and what not never told Trump how bad it was.

Let’s just ignore he was responding to a question about why he lied about how bad it was....

Woodward’s job is not to be the president.

The point is - of course - that it wasn't Woodward who said that the "China virus" was "so bad". It was Trump himself. He's arguing with himself.
