Leavitt: "The NYT took about 1/3 of the president's daily calendar & schedule & said that he's doing less than he did in his first term, or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that the story was written ... he is taking meetings around the clock"

I tell anyone who will listen that everything you've written has helped to make sense of the unexplainable sh-t that these guys have done, are doing, and will do. It's like a masterclass in all the constant and endless corruption, dirty tricks and outright crimes going on around us. Thank you!

I’m reading Craig Unger’s “American Kompromat” & that’s 1 of the first concepts explored: campaign finance laws make it so that Russians (or any other hostile entity) can take over WITHOUT BREAKING A SINGLE LAW. @craigunger.bsky.social
And let’s not call Donald merely greedy: he’s a hostile entity.
