Do the right thing and work through legal channels to have him removed. This is absolutely crazy!

Sounds like the inmates have rebelled in Crazytown.

However, it's still just a guess, and he's already in Woodward's book, so he's probably on the way out.

And the prime example given in op-ed concerned relations with Russia.

Or people loyal to Pence. He wants the job.

He's very ambitious, and is convinced that God wants him to be president. Christian Taliban, waiting in the wings. He's clever enough to hide his tracks, though.

Pence and the scheming evangelicals popped up instantly.

what with the reference to foreign policy.

Pompeo, Mattis, or Kelly. I don't think it would be Pence, as he could be part of the Mueller investigation.

I just keep picturing that interview he was giving when they told him Trump invited Russia to the White House, and his reaction.

I'd forgotten about him. He seemed seriously disturbed about Trump's attitude towards Putin and Russia.

I am not impressed.

there are ads in between sections of it...

but the space where the ad would be just says "Advertisement" in white blocks between sections of the editorial. And I have both ublock Origin and Ghostery off!

edit to add:


This person needs to make her/him self known. Her job will be gone but maybe it will give some courage to others to speak up.

they are pretty fascinating (in a good way - at least the last time I checked)!

and not just because he was in the military, either. He stayed on, played along with Nazi party politics, and rose through the ranks. More than a few respectable career German officers left Germany - or held true to their beliefs and got violently purged in the mid/early 30's when the long knives started coming out - rather than sign on to Hitler's loyal corps.

this anonymous letter does not make me feel better... it makes me even more angry

This isn't "an important perspective"--this is a statement that administrators in the Executive Branch have staged a coup against the sitting President.

in the White House as trump runs around crazed looking for leakers and the leakers run amok trying to outdo one another to keep him under control.

Too bad our country and form of government and standing in the world is affected by all this.

but wasn't sure whether I could post news about it here.

Whoever wrote it wants to have it both ways and the comments that were left at the piece pretty much echo that thought.

Here's an excerpt -

If you republican rats really gave a shit, this man would not be holding office today. You're all enablers.

Dear anonymous source...go fuck yourself sideways with a First Edition hard cover copy of Atlas Shrugged you worthless piece of amphibian shit!

Just fuck you and your; "sure the president's a raving fucking amoral, cruel, petty evil prick but hey! how about that fucking 1.5 trillion dollars giveaway to the American oligarchs and the coal ash and arcenic in your drinking water"

"Hey! I helped save you fucking progs from nuclear winter, but have you fucking seen judge Kavanaugh? He's going to fuck over working people and women for 40 fucking years... you're welcome!"

Fuck this anonymous jackass and his gaslighting bullshit.

it do eventually hit the fan. OMG.

Folks should see the comments.

She was on Nicole Wallace's show on the phone and she was shocked by this.

Put out in order for Trump to go full def con on all White House staff using "national security" as his excuse.

What tips me off is there was no need to say:

"There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more."

"effective deregulation"? How?
"historic tax reform"? For who?
"a more robust military" Why the need?

Its like they wanted their cake and eat it too. Use this false flag to implement mass firings and hiring of Trump cultists, but still get a little advertisement in there as well. Mix in a little pro-Trump 2020 talking points. Just to make them seem even nuttier. ie....that Trump is doing a great job on multiple fronts, but this nut wants to sabotage the whole thing for his own personal grudges he has overblown in his head.

Put out to cement the narrative of the terrible and dare I say treasonous behaviour of a LEAKER for his deplorables to get more angry about, and defend their poor betrayed and persecuted Dear Leader.

while signalling to their "crowd" to just hang in there because "they got this" and their show will go on.

their agenda through and garner votes in the midterms. They may not like some of the stuff he does but they
aren't stopping him from destroying our reputation around the world.

Excuse me. Allergies to bullshit.

….that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more..."


fuck you anonymous source... these are not bright spots for the majority of U.S. Americans... you are just complicit is making our Nation worse off... you are merely trying to justify your exploitation of a failed election to get your dangerous agenda passed

"Lodestar" isn't a frequently used word and Pense seems to have a proclivity to it.

Member of the administration to put country before party and policy and go ON THE RECORD with an OP ED, or interview?

That person will be believed and denials from the Oral Office will hold little value or validity. She or he will also become a national hero.

To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.

Thinking they are smarter and better then the voted in (?) , maybe, President.

There's another dumbass quote:

"Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more."



This is bullshit.

Is that how we ended up with Kavanaugh?

The ‘resistance’?

Gee; thanks for your service!

This is published less than a week before Bob Woodward's book Fear comes out, and a day after several excerpts from that book are published. It tells me that a) the author is one of Woodward's sources, and b) it makes it more likely than ever that the damning interviews and comments in Fear are authentic.

When I read this in the NYT I almost puked in my mouth when I saw they DARED to apply the term "Resistance" to themselves. I saw this anonymous confession for what it is: a undignified attempt to sanitize the GOP from the responsibility it has bringing what they themselves call a "amoral" monster into the White House. The worse part about it, THEY KNOW trump HAD RUSSIAN ASSISTANCE IN "WINNING". I used all caps because the Op-Ed made me that pissed.

That all being said, this is certainly a scathing indictment of that orange moron.

that is detrimental to the health of our republic,”
If this were true they have a responsibility to remove the treat to our nation.

It's a pile of fucking bullshit

LOL someone higher up, someone who wants to protect their reputation down the line. Yep it’s Jared. Oh and precipitated by McCain’s funeral.

After reading this oped, it strikes me that this is a continuation of the republican policy of party before country. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that there are actual adults in the White House who have kept T from starting WWIII. However, none of these people are elected officials and therefore all of them are acting outside of the Constitution.

As for the oped, I found these lines particularly insulting,

"The bigger concern is not what Mr. Trump had done to the predicency but rather what we as a nation have allowed him to do to us. We have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility."

What a load of hogwash. Republicans and Trump supporters have done this to our country. Elected democrats and and other Trump opponetns have been sounding the alarm for years. However, as republicans hold all the levers of power, only they have the ability to stop him. And as far as I can tell have done NOTHING to do so. The most obvious thing they could do now is to put a halt to any Supreme Court appointment until Mueller has completed his report but they won't even do that. So cry me a river. If the adults in the West Wing actually REALLY cared for the well being of the USA they would all come forward and if the adults in Congress really cared for the well being the the USA, they would hold hearings and put a stop to it. Since they haven't and won't, then this clusterfuck is theirs and theirs alone.

Could have come from anywhere.

the NYT publish, then deny in an effort to discredit the NYT and the 'fake news' in general. I've thought for a long time that journalists have to be super careful because we know there is no bottom to how low the WH will go...forgeries, fake op eds, lying press secretaries, lies about statistics....they will do whatever it takes to get over. (the previous gop WH did this too...but not to this level).

I hope the NYT was careful.
