Apparently bookstores are throwing events tonight, staying open til midnight when sales begin.

I hope 45 chokes on that. I hope people have reading parties. I hope there is cheering and laughter.

Seriously, can you imagine being the object of such schadenfreude?

..what humiliation looks like, it's going to be a humbling moment for the racist pervert.

As for the book, he's enjoying the frenzy that it's created. I don't buy that trumpf didn't have prior knowledge of salacious content and that he and Bannon are at odds.

Going to have to get it tomorrow. Busy from early morning before the store opens until 4, so hope they have enough.

This has been a marvel of marketing for Wolff and his publisher.

New England is one massive snowstorm. The Midwest is so fucking cold that people want to hide under the covers.

I am not brave enough to go out in this weather.
