When it comes to the latest nonsense involving Trump, the easiest way to proceed is to assume everyone involved is lying. Trump, Bannon, Michael Wolff, Donald Trump Jr. -- all of them.
It's also best to assume none of it matters very much. All the calliope music is just that.
Things happening at home matter more. Especially in our little corner of the world. We're only four days into the new year and we've got plenty to consider.

I remember being told that sexual sins don't matter in our presidents. Heck, I'm pretty sure that there is no such thing as morality, right? I'd like for us to be in a place where we all agreed that such things did matter and that they could be lifted up as important. But we can't treat their importance as a political weapon. That's the opposite of valuing them. It's making whores out of values and I'm not interested.
Perhaps not a bad start, but it does strike me that Team Trump is probably correct that Steve Bannon had a confidentiality agreement that a tell-all (or "make-up-all") book would blatantly violate. So there is indeed a kernel of truth there.
Another bit of reality that I can think of is that today, it seems that government is so big and complex that accountability is virtually impossible.
Hope you're doing well.
Thoughtful comments, both. I guess my problem is the liberal-intellectual assumption that a guy with common sense, operating as a CEO of the country, must be attacked for a bunch of speculated nonsense about his personal character, intelligence or sanity-- all side issues having no bearing on his actual performance of his duties.
The same people who strenuously question Trump's morality, IQ and sanity are those who had nothing but praise for Obama on those counts, completely oblivious to how he mismanaged the country. That is worse than hypocritical; it is an intense and irrational hatred for truth and honesty.
