This is an open admission that the Deep State exists and that it is subverting our democratically elected leader.

It's FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt).

It's to create confusion, suspicion, antagonism.

They are desperately trying to get Trump to lose his cool, have a meltdown, and do something that they CAN impeach him for.  It's pretty obvious.

Always has!  And they have never been closer to realizing their dreams.

Ben Shapiro has much the same take: https://www.dailywire.com/news/35503/anonymous-anti-trump-op-ed-inside-white-house-ben-shapiro

We are dealing with a new attack weekly and it goes on every day.

Shapiro nails it well.

The piece explains that Trump is ignorant and “amoral,” and that loyal Americans must do everything from within to curb his worst excesses:

 https://www.dailywire.com/news/35503/anonymous-anti-trump-op-ed-inside-white-house-ben-shapiro

Sounds like something that was said against the Jews in 1930s Germany.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Seems implausible an event of that magnitude could be kept that secret.  Then again, that is why I think it is possible that the NYT might be using new tactics for hit pieces.  I wouldn't put anything past those bastards.

OTOH...some of the other claims seem almost spot on.  Very weird

Proficient liars know to mix in some truth to give the lies credibility.

The OpEd strikes me as absolutely believable and credible:  Trump as “petty”, “amoral”, “repetitive rant(ing)”, “ill-informed”, and “chaotic”.  One only has to watch him in action and read his tweets to see all of this.  I have no doubt (but certainly hope) that there are people in his Administration who "want the administration to succeed" but who also "believe (their) first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic."

Just imagine the type of OpEd that could have been written had the President NOT hired “only the best people”.   *****rollingeyes*****

I think just the opposite.  So, this "senior administration official" risked his/her job to tell us that Trump is awful and a total failure, but it's OK because his staff works against him to keep the ship of state sailing in the correct direction?  What's the motivation?  If the staff is working against Trump to keep things going right, wouldn't you think this idiot would keep quiet about it and continue to work against Trump?  It just doesn't sound credible.

I agree.  It sounds like more BS to me.  The rats are getting more and more desperate as time goes on.... (only two months til the mid-terms).

Trump is really in the spotlight a lot, every day, in his tweets and on camera. Sometimes I wonder when these stories come out, when this stuff is actually going on.

I don't remember your pal Bush inviting a kid to the WH to mow the lawn because it was his goal. Your hero Bush was too busy sending kids over to the Middle East to get maimed or killed in a pointless war.

I was just watching Tucker Carlson about this and he said he is pretty close to knowing for sure who the source for this piece is.  I think he whispered, I am very concerned.  That could have been a hint.


Sure.  Just like he confirmed one of the five witnesses given immunity in the Manafort trial was Tony Podesta.  Wrong.

Do you somehow think I am laughing at that kid? 88finger point

I don't know what President Bush has to do with President Un-indicted Co-conspirator, but with all of Dubya's faults I have never been ashamed to admit I voted for him twice.  I miss him.

Yeah right. I remember those bullshit pics from his campaign lit. Here he is painting all the people he got killed in his never ending worthless wars....



You know that we had to ask the Taliban to run the place over there because it is such a shitshow thanks to your hero Bush and you wonder why you are a laughing stock and an all around waste of space forced to spam a low view forum bashing a popular President.

You post here too @Frank Cannon , and you are responding to spam(?) from "a laughing stock and an all around waste of space."  Please post more before you pass out.

That's always been the hardest part when I try to mole in Liberal hell holes like DU and Kos.  I have a certain writing style that I have to really be conscious of when I'm behind enemy lines.

On Conservative sites this is the screen name I've used since 2001 when I first logged on to FR.  That way there's no doubt it's me :D

Yep, I have certain keywords that pop-up too often. "Yall" and "whatsoever" find their way in about half my long posts. I would have to run my posts through some scrambler program to not be IDed over time.
Exodus 18:21 Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders over ....
