Trump is always bragging about setting records. I wonder how he feels about this one.
Bob Woodward's 'Fear' is the fastest-selling book in Simon & Schuster's history
Bob Woodward's "Fear: Trump in the White House" has sold more than 1.1 million copies in its first week of release, making it the fastest-selling book in the history of its publisher, Simon & Schuster.
The publisher has ordered a 10th printing of the book, which as of Wednesday morning was the No. 1 bestselling book at Barnes and Noble and at Amazon.

They'll stick with Trump and ignore American citizens if they think it will benefit them politically.
Shameless!!!
And this illustrates just what we're dealing with.

Spoke to more than a dozen House Rs here at the Capitol. Very few had any criticism of the president's handling of the coming storm or his tweets on P.R. Most offered hearty praise. A revealing snapshot of the GOP.

I find it hard to believe that anyone who is a fan of Willie's would be surprised to find out that he supports liberal causes. He's never tried to hide his views in the past.
Go Willie!
Willie Nelson fans furious over announcement that he'll headline a rally for Beto O'Rourke.
Willie Nelson fans are upset with the singer over the news that hes not only supporting a Democratic Senate contender, but is headlining a rally in Texas for him.
Nelson, whose public political views typically lean more liberal, announced on his Facebook page that hell be headlining the Turn Out For Texas rally for candidate Beto ORourke, who is currently running against Sen. Ted Cruz.
<snip>
Despite clearly being in favor of the Democratic candidate, Nelsons fans were taken aback by the news that hes supporting a candidate whose politics they dont agree with.
If thats true im done after 45 years with the Red Headed Stranger ,by [sic] Willy, one user commented on the Facebook announcement.

Scotland To Outlaw Breeding Of Cats Without Cartilage And Other Designer Pet Breeds
Scotland just decided that they are going to outlaw the breeding of "designer" animals.
The Scottish Government opened a consultation on September 7th that will consider the public's opinions and knowledge about the breeding practices of dogs, cats, and rabbits. Once the consultation closes on November 30th, the government plans to enact stricter licensing regulations on the breeding of such animals.
The new licensing is meant to prohibit breeding practices that produce pets with a predisposition for certain genetic conditions.
Often, these types of pets are considered "designer" pets as they are bred specifically to appeal to buyers who are looking for specific features in their animals.

I don't know how many of you watch Washington Week, but
next Friday they will have a one on one interview with Bob Woodward. Should be good.
