goDel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 LOL wow... explosive stuff https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html?nl=top-stories&nlid=57728323ries&ref=cta The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making. Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 guessing its sessions, btw. or at least a classic conservative in the white house. bolton might be another guess. but sessions hasn't much to lose. so he might use this opportunity as some form of farewell.

goDel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) good one! edit: tempted to think the unravelling of this presidency is accelerating. thing might be over shortly after november. as it's basically the first semi-officially conservative outcry thats basically saying: get this guy out of the office!

Braintree Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 They just want to neuter his executive powers instead of impeaching him because the party wouldn't be able to stand the embarrassment. They're more interested in saving face for their constituents than their constituents' well-being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I really hope it is Pence who wrote that. The mention of discussing the 25th amendment makes me think it is someone connected to Congress. Please let this be a sign the end is coming for Donald. Pence isn't really my cup of tea, but at least we wouldn't be bombarded daily with the stupid Donnie shit show.

usagi Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 it can't be Pence. must be misdirection using one of his phrases or w/e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Man fuck that boot-licking, homophobic, piece of three day old dogshit that is Pence. A'member, he was Manifold's pick for VP, which I can only assume was for his best people qualities. They're more interested in saving face for their constituents than their constituents' well-being. This is why I hold politicians of all stripes in the lowest regard (APAB), in this yper-capitalist soft money, pay-2-play, etc. ecosystem that's been normalized over the past couple of decades the whoresmanship has never been so brazen. Take that cunt who's chairing the dog 'n pony confirmation hearings, silencing the objections raised over needing to review documents, takes less than 10 minutes in the c-span archives to find said cunt on the floor taking that exact position.

goDel Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can't tell why they've released it now, though. (I believe it's a "they" instead of a "he/she", btw. I'd expect the "adults in the room" to be working together) If it's about saving face, the question still is, why now and not a year ago? Is it because of the coming November elections? Like an election tactic? Vote for the adults in the room, so to speak. Or a distraction for the Kavanaugh procedure? Is it related to the release of Woodwards book? Or something more nefarious? Like some new policy or action that might be coming from the White House which could only be stopped with the 25th? Perhaps it's in preparation for something what Mueller might soon be doing? Or some people are closer to being thrown out of the White House than we might realise. Perhaps because of what's in Woodwards book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlemflolia Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) It's either pence or someone who tried to make it look like pence lol, only two options https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/lodestar-mike-pence-anonymous-new-york-times_us_5b905dd5e4b0511db3dec1e1 Edited September 6, 2018 by Zeffolia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudenorth Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Op-ed is crap. Not a resistance. The writer defends the increased spending on military, the tax breaks for corporations and the immense amount of deregulation that is about to break the economy and the environment.

tec Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 You can vote for Trump with the excuse that the apparent adult in the room will curb his extremities. It's bollocks but it'll probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writer defends the increased spending on military, the tax breaks for corporations and the immense amount of deregulation that is about to break the economy and the environment. Keep in mind the context - they are resisting Trump from starting wars with North Korea, serve as a puppet to the Kremlin, enact police state measures, etc. Right-wing technocrats are diverting Trump from creating absolute turmoil and chaos well beyond the standard level of GOP fucking up. It's just confirming how much of the assumptions that the administration serve as babysitters are 100% true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he needs to be baby sat. I understand the context. This is just another instance of the Republican Party trying to distance themselves from the president the backed.
