On the third (yes, only the third) day of this fresh new year, quotes taken from Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, began to surface online, sending the internet into a straight-up meltdown.

First drafts are never good, but damn, Milo Yiannopoulos, WTF kind of book manuscript did you file to Simon & Schuster?

In the suit, Yiannopoulos alleges that Simon & Schuster “wrongfully, and in bad faith, terminated the contract with Yiannopoulous in violation of its terms and cancelled Dangerous under pressure from authors, bookselling accounts, business and special-interest groups, celebrities, and various other self-appointed censors who disagreed with views expressed by Yiannopoulos.” Read more…
