This book scares the hell out of them. They know it's going to come into play in '26 and '28. They try to brush it off, but it's right there, in their face!

Jake Tapper's book has climbed to the #3 spot on Amazon's best seller list
Sales aren’t collapsing.

They spike sales numbers, store the books in warehouses, and then release them to the deep discount resellers.
All of Trumps' spawn and cronies have sold ghost-written books that "topped the charts" for a few weeks. Means nothing.
Yeah, that's what happens. These huge corporations just buy these books to give them away ...

7. Did that happen with the books that were negative about Trump?
Now deflection.

20. I doubt the Heritage Foundation wanted those to be bestsellers.
So liberals and liberal companies can't/won't buy books in mass quantities to fluff the sales? Gotcha.

No one is reading this book. It is one of those here is your free gift. It's like an Anne Koulter book. Despite all those sales, I've never heard one passage quoted. It's like no one ever read page one of her crap.

A person or company with a vested interest in pumping up Take Japper or the message that Biden was impaired can just buy up the available copies, and give them out for free at some Republican function.

6. Any evidence that that is happening here?

12. Any evidence it isn't happening here?
I thought y'all were famous for saying you can't prove a negative?
Back and forth they go. The fear is palpable. I may have to buy this book just to see how much is actually in it that I'm not hearing on the media.
Enjoy.

Unbelievable. It's as if they think aren't powerful, monied interests behind the anti-Trump movement.

9. It's not even on
The N.Y. Times best sellers list.

I almost posted the fiction list which is probably where it belongs.

51. Thank you for this very significant point
Amazon best seller list is one thing, but if this book were really selling it would at least be on the NYT best seller list.

86. It is. It's #1 on the most recent update.

83. It is. The list updates every Wednesday. It's #1 on the list.
Oops. It wasn't on the NYT best seller list on the week before (or a day or two after) it was released. Now it's at the top of the list. But the thing the DUmmies don't get is the story isn't about Biden's mental decline. Everyone who paid attention could see that. The story is how he was shielded from public view by his closest advisors, how every public appearance was highly scripted and how the media tried to normalize his inability to assemble coherent thoughts. That was relatively successful because most people don't pay attention to stuff like that. It wasn't until after the debate, when 10's of millions of Americans saw just how bad he was, mentally, that the dam broke. After that all the Dem's and the media were exposed. And now they are trying desperately to create a new narrative that they just didn't know that Biden had issues, even though it was obvious to everyone.

Exactly right!

You have to give Crapper...I mean Tapper...a little credit. He made money lying about SloJo being at the top of his game. Then, when it got so bad that even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could clearly see that SloJo was a hollow shell, Crapper...I mean Tapper...found a way to make even more money talking about the husk.

Only DUmmies would think that The Heritage Foundation wants to fatten Tapper's bank account.
