I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

I would be shocked if it was Pence. He already stands to benefit from impeachment. When this source comes out, and you know it will, Trump will fire that person in about 2 minutes.
 
Everyone in the WH knows this dudes an idiot.

I know that everything seems crazy and chaotic from the view outside of the WH but I promise you that everything is going great, smooth and normal, inside WH. You should be able to see that.

It’s be smoother if there weren’t traitors trying to lead a coup from within at the request of the left wing zealots

So it's somebody else's fault again. What happened to the party of personal responsibility?

What in God’s name does this have to do with the NYT broadcasting that some egomaniac in the WH is trying to subvert the power of the President and lead a soft coup?
 
If this is real, I really don't understand it. It's counter intuitive to me. I feel like this op-ed is like shooting the "resistance's" efforts in the foot. It will make the POTUS scrutinize every recommendation, response, discussion and decision that his staff makes and make him dig in harder.

What's more important, the power of the country or the power of this president?

They are all getting fired. He's been wanting to do this for a while. This will create more distrust within the staff.
 

Lol! Are you going to keep doing this? We’ve been over this like 200 times but you keep pulling old quotes like a bitch boy.
 
Actually I made that one up but it's hilarious that you believed it

I don’t really care. Unlike you, I’m not going to keep going back to 3 year old threads to pull quotes for little gotcha moments when I’ve already been over this with you. I don’t have time to fact check every idiot quote you do or don’t pull.
 
Apparently it is a dilemma for members of this administration.

The only dilemma is that we have unelected WH officials apparently trying to subvert the authority of an elected President with the help of the media, which really amounts to a soft coup and treason.

Most of what is claimed there reads like common filtering and packaging of information that has happened with every President that is spun to look nefarious. And also common delegation of tasking and empowerment to make decisions.

The secret deep state. Throw them in jail then.

2 year old threads mostly. They aren't gotcha moments they are your opinions back when the establishment was telling you to dislike Trump. Now that the establishment tells you to like Trump I understand your opinions have changed.

But it's ok to pull up pictures from over two years ago (i.e., Kaepernick's socks)? In spite of the fact that I don't agree with his logic, Kaepernick did explain why he wore those particular socks.

My posts were opinions contained to the 10 or so people that read this board. Kaep was broadcasting to most of the country that he viewed cops as pigs.

Exactly the same.

For your point to be relevant, he would have had to disavowed his past message which to my knowledge he never has. I’m sure he considers cops to be pigs just as much today.

Completely disavow? C'mon, now. To who? Has Trump disavowed his "grab 'em by the pu$$y" comment or is he still hanging on to the whole "it was just locker room talk" bullshit?

FTR, here was Kaepernick's statement from 9/1/2016:

"I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately."

Stop crossing the streams!
 
It's only a matter of time before we find out who wrote this. Everyone is submitting denials. Either the person who wrote this doesn't submit a denial or submits a denial and gets ousted by the NYT.
 
I believe the reason some people started speculating that it was Pence was because the author of the letter used the word "loadstar", which of course is a word that people rarely use. However, a quick search of loadstar in Google shows Pence using that word on numerous occasions. Of course it's very possible that the author knew that tho' and was just trying to throw people off his/her trail.
Guess no one else could have come up with that just to place the speculation. Damn Liberals are either desperate or dumb. Probably both.

Maybe it’s no one, remember this is the NYTimes.
 
Honest question - do you think there is any "real" news? If so - where do you get this?
You have to admit that the journalism profession has lost a great deal of credibility in the last 5 years. Mostly of their own doing.

You missed my point entirely. smh

Honest question - do you think a reputable and credible newspaper should be running totally anonymous Op Eds from "internal officials" who by their words are creating damn near a Constitutional crisis? Does that seem like the workings of "responsible journalism"? Does it bother you that the NYT reporters are in revolt over this Op Ed since it puts them in the horrible position of now having to dig into their own Op Ed section and force them to reveal sources?

Honest question - do you think you've ever been "wrong" on this board? That maybe someone else's opinions might have merit and you're not an expert at everything? Asking for a friend.

Yawn. You've watched me discuss with FC like 200 times how I was totally wrong about the entire 2016 election yet you're still here asking me this. [eyeroll]

Why didn't you just offer an actual response?

It's anonymous to us - not to them. It's not some 3rd hand story they bought off someone. If sources weren't kept anonymous - do you think the news would have sources anymore? Do you not understand how investigative journalism works?

I do think that some outlets have gotten a bit lazy with their source checking. This is not one of those cases.

Do you think it's responsible that our president is trying to make an ENEMY - a legitimate enemy - out of the press? Trump lovers sit there and whine about the unfair press and FAKE NEWS and then take random Facebook pages as the bible. Please.

I actually don't read most of the threads on here. I also don't particularly care about your and Ninja/FCs name calling.

Uh- this isn't investigative journalism. This is the NYT receiving an incendiary letter from someone and running it as an Op Ed. What is journalistic about that? This isn't news, this is the NYT aiding someone in the WH who apparently wants to destroy Trump from the inside and the NYT is assisting in that. That's ok with you?

The press runs garbage like this and you wonder why Trump despises them? Really?
