The author writes the resistance inside the White House is not the same "resistance" of the left against Trump, and wrote, "we want the administration to succeed. ... But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic."

Anyone who chooses to believe that the NY Times would fake something like this is an idiot. These bad times are getting bigly. The Deep State is real and it is Trump's own administration; there has been a semi-coup to "protect" Americans from a raving lunatic's worst impulses. These anonymous sources should come forward and impeachment proceedings against Trump should begin immediately.

+1 indeed

Fixed my own mistake, sorry about that.

I love how trumpies manage to make everything about HRC. It's great knowing that amongst all of the collective trumpy internet trolls no one of you can muster up a coherent argument to support him or his policies other than "but hillary." No one with half a brain cares about hillary. Everyone has moved on except the trumpies because they don't have anything substantive to move on to.

yeah, the truth about Hillary hurts, doesn't it? she was a jillion dollar thief! Glad you wasted your vote idiot.

Yep, except when they posted things about Hillary Clinton before the election, then they were faking it. Gosh you are a bloody idiot aren't you.

The word is that the anonymous author is likely Mike Pence.

I'm not the poster of the comment (have the brothers check), but he's right, most of you are followers of his and praise every word he says from his fake life in an Ohio average home to all of his outrageous comments on here. I've been on the forums for almost 3 years and I've never read more biased posts, ever, than his. He's got serious issues and I'm not joking in the least. He's an extremist for the Left, way too far Left. To support Hillary Clinton the way he did and to deny her of wrong doing is scary at the least. You don't scare me like he does, but him I worry about.

I fear for him too. He's gone off the deep edge. He really should talk about it with a professional. Boarding no extreme obsessiveness over an election. Nutjob?

LOL . . . . . now trump is demanding that the failing NY Times turn over the author of the anonymous Fake News Op Ed to him because "TREASON" (he tweeted). "If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!" (Trump tweeted)

I am not a follower of Flagpole’s and I do not praise his words.

He’s a blow hard.

And I am politically to the left of him.

I think state college should be tuition free and he doesn’t.

But we are both in total agreement that Trump is a disaster.

Though where he keeps saying Trump is done, I’ve given a specific description and time frame of when he will be out.

My guess will probably be wrong. Its like picking any one team to win the Super Bowl before the season starts.

And we really agree on the list of things that Trump has done wrong.

Personally, I am concerned about all of the Trump apologists.

Good evening! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine PM?

I speak the truth unabashedly, and because there are so many here who can not see the truth, I have to be repetitive because the truth will set you free.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Ha! I was lukewarm about Hillary at best. Yes I voted for her, but only because Trump was clearly much worse.

I am hardly an extremist for the left. I am a fiscal conservative and as L L said, not as far left as he is. I am socially very left, but I do not fall into extremist category by any definition. I have said here that I would have seriously considered voting for Kasich had he been the Republican nominee. A left extremist would never say that.

I never said Hillary didn't do anything wrong. I said she didn't do anything criminal...and by definition she hasn't. I guess you find our laws and jurisprudence to be "scary".

I am a rule of law person, so once she is charged with a crime and found guilty, I will believe she is a criminal. The same is true for Trump...if he is found innocent, I will agree that he is. He is so clearly criminal though and is still going through the investigative process that Hillary has gone through already. So why do I call him a criminal when I don't call Hillary that? Hillary has been investigated for many things and found to be innocent. Trump is still being investigated, but from what we know already publicly, there is little doubt that he is a criminal. BUT, again, if it is declared that he is NOT a criminal after this investigation is over, I will admit that he is not and that I was wrong.

Donald Trump is a criminal, a serial liar, a racist, and an overall horrible vile person. You do not have to be an extremist to know those things...just have to be discerning.

Good read pasted below on the current state of Trump's White House.

Overall, though, the problem in this country is the caliber of human being required to even consider Donald Trump as a viable presidential candidate, let alone actually go through with it during the primary process and general election campaign. I don't blame Donald Trump for being himself, for lying 72% of the time during the campaign as measured by Politico. Donald Trump has always been a lowlife liar and cheat, and never attempted to hide it or amend himself. He conceded to friends that he has not changed since he was 10 years old. His father taught him to be ruthless, and that only the bottom line result mattered. Trump found lowlife Roy Cohn as a mentor, the guy who shoveled hate into Joseph McCarthy's ear in the '50s. That should have been disqualifying decades ago, long before the birther disgrace, which only someone with zero functioning brain cells could believe.

Yet conservatives and the Republican Party in this era have managed to combine relentless fear, hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny and divisiveness to such remarkable level that Donald Trump not only became feasible but actually their dream. Future generations and centuries will have people who do nothing in their lives other than study how it was possible in any fashion. People will major in college on how a human being like Donald Trump could advance to the presidency. The flat earth and fake moon landing nonsense here own zero significance compared to Donald Trump running for president and conservatives aligning with him. Truth is stranger than fiction but truth should never be able to contain this.

Anyway, here's an article on White House chaos and Woodward recognized book as truth:

That is true, but that day will start soon...when the Mueller report comes out and he is ousted or resigns, that view will begin from that day on.

So who is Deep State throat?

Your pick and why:

First it can't be Pence because he can't be fired. I think it's that complete a-hole Muchin at Treasury.

A There are many here who cannot see the truth.

In what universe does B logically follow from A? Not in this one. No, you don't "have to" be repetitive . . . and it's pretty clear by now that those who "cannot see the truth" are not having their opinions changed by your repetition.

The fact is that during your recent brief hiatus, the frequency of posts on this thread went down and the average quality of posts went up--primarily through a decrease in posts responding to yours. Give it a(nother) rest, please.

Flagpole must think they can’t beat the President in a general election. That’s why they have to go full force on the Russia stuff. What do dems have to run on? I guess I’m of the very few that think the better route is beating Trump in a general election and going after his policies.

1) Not everyone reads this thread every day. I post to cover all, so yes, repetitiveness is needed. It also allows those of you who DO read frequently to know that my position hasn't changed.

2) The posts went WAY down when I was gone, but the quality was very low. When I do post frequently, where the low quality posts come from are those who make snarky comments about me or my posts, the vast majority of which I ignore.

3) The quality of my posts will ultimately be judged by how right I am and how right I will be proven to be.

I will only give it a rest when the topic ceases to become interesting to me.

Let me give you an example...The Dow thread which has been here for years now was interesting to me initially because some yahoo said it was going to drop big time. I said it wouldn't, and once it was proven that I was right about that, no need to continue to post there.

Once Trump is ousted or resigns (and one of those will happen), other than giving the biggest I Told You So in the history of Letsrun (I will not name names or go on and on about it unless challenged, because while I am righteous, I am even more kind), then I will lose interest in this topic.

I don't care about arguing Democrat vs. Republican values. I couldn't give a rat's ass about Trump except for the fact that he's a danger currently to America. When he is no longer a danger (meaning he is out of office), my interest in him will be over.

After all this time, you still don't get it. I am not bothered by a NORMAL Republican being in The White House. I even prefer that the power go back and forth as do many Americans. This is why midterms typically go against the party in power...enough voters want there to be a check on that power, myself included.

I agree with you that Democrats have not yet done a good job of laying out what they will be running FOR instead of against.

My reaction to Trump has to do with Trump and Trump only, not his party. I am against any who support him. He is a criminal and a danger to America. He was a Democrat most of his adult life. If he had won as a Democrat, I would be just as against him. We should not be for a crook in the White House.

As of now I have no idea. These are adults who work in the White House, so as wrong as they may be on many issues, they HAVE to see how big of a danger Trump is, and obviously they do. It can be any number of them. Pretty easy to be against this President because he is clearly wrong on just about all levels.
