Haberman (NYT) book: Flushed papers found clogging Trump WH toilet
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11091457/Photographs-Donald-Trumps-toilets-apparently-clogged-torn-paper-emerge.html
In 2013 President Barack Obama signed into law the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act (H.R. 5736),
making it legal for government-produced media—such as was broadcast overseas by Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other outlets throughout the Cold War—to be directed toward U.S. citizens themselves. Needless to say, such government-penned narratives spin the news so as to reflect favorably upon the United States. To understand the sheer power of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, it suffices to do a quick Google of the name of this piece of legislation to see how it has generated a logical quandary befitting of Orwell’s Nineteen Eigthy-Four. For if it is true that the American people are being propagandized by the U.S. government through its control of the major media outlets and tech giants, then any assertion to that effect will be countered—and ultimately defeated—by yet more government propaganda.
The fact that the complete negation of the original Smith-Mundt Act was deceptively labeled the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act marked the first stage in what might be termed the Orwellian turn. Unsurprisingly, a lengthy list of articles calling out the alleged piece of “disinformation” that “Barack Obama legalized government propaganda against citizens” appears at the top of the Google search results.

I.e.
Trump Toilet Propaganda Imho.
I bet some intern was hired to plumb the toilets for papers…
Should have flushed Pelosi,shiff,shumer, Cheney ,etc
The Presidential Records Act of 1978 differentiates between “personal records” and “Presidential records.”
https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html
Specifically, personal records are defined as:
“documentary materials or any reasonably segregable portion thereof, of a purely private or nonpublic character, which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President” and which include “diaries, journals, or other personal notes serving as the functional equivalent of a diary or journal which are not prepared or utilized for, or circulated or communicated in the course of, transacting Government business,” “private political associations” and “materials relating exclusively to the President’s own election to the office of the
Presidency” [44 U.S.C. § 2201(3)].
From time to time, problems arise with this and similar distinctions between personal and public records. For example, Secretaries of State that use private email; and, erasing hard drives because they only have cookie recipes and such.
Responses to such incidents are little more than partisan harangue.
Documents WILL NOT FLUSH!!!
Go ahead. Give it a try, if you want a big plumbing bill.
Documents go in the SHREDDER!!!!!!!
How can these people expect us to take them seriously when they publish idiocy like this?
They have him now. His 2024 hopes are now in the crapper. They are flush with new scandals.
Zzzz.
Another nothing burger.
The documents could have been flushed by anyone so no proof that Trump flushed them.
Why would someone try to get rid of paper in the toilet and then not flush the toilet to make the paper go away? Does Trump not know how toilets work?
This is a joke right?
I mean , yeah ok, I’m an old guy and I can be fooled sometimes as easy as the next person but this is bs,right? C’mon man.
Ever try to flush paper down a toilet?
Copy paper, yellow legal pad paper?
It’d be like trying to flush a sheet of plywood.
Who comes up with this nonsense anyway?
I wonder which Trump-hater Haberman had to sleep with, or give gifts to, in order to get that photo. She wouldn't be the first reporterette to trade sex in exchange for a story, photo, or book.
Did Trump grab her steering wheel?
One word response to the BS in that big piece…. No.
Until they have an actual photo of him doing something wrong then I’ll consider.
Those weren’t turds from Trump. They were turds from Biden after he mistook the morning report for his breakfast.
Those democrats are getting so desperate. Why would anyone who could simply put documents into a brief case and take them with him spend hours flushing paper down a toilet?
