WH OFFICIAL SCATHING OP ED NYT re Trump incompetence and AMORALITY!

[EvilCat Breath]

RUh RUHo......

Western Analytics has analyzed the writing of the OP-ed... Now they believe that over 8 people were involved in writing the piece... So it appears that up-to 8 people being involved is a real serious problem.

This means that we have really two options.

One: The story is a fake and written to support Woodward's book and give it credibility. IN which case, this is a massive fabrication and lie put in motion by the NYSLimes...

Or...

Two: There are eight people in Trumps group acting as one and we have active Treason and Sedition within the Whitehouse.

Which one is true? Now that's where popcorn comes in... The Odds there are eight people on the inside at high levels creating havoc is slim to none...

Going to laugh my ass off if its found out this was 100% pure Bull Shit Propaganda.... And that is where I place my bet....

If true it means an unelected anonymous cabal is in the process of overthrowing the duly elected government.

Prison is too good for them.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Whoever it is even if it is the Times should be arrested and prosecuted for sedition. Then spend long years in prison.

Save of course that criticizing the president isn't 'sedition'.

Remember, you don't actually know what you're talking about.

This has gone beyond criticism. Remember, you have a head full of cement. A rational thought couldn't get in there.

Nope. It means that there are people within the Trump administration that will protect the American people from Trump's more amoral, erratic or destructive impulses....until Trump leaves office.

None of which is 'sedition.' As Trump isn't the USA.

***Rant Alert***
OMG Some disgruntled asshole alleges anonymously of course, that the white house in in chaos. Tell the anonymous dickhead to actually come forward and say it to America's face or this bullshit never happened. Two years of this babyish disruptive crap because you don't like the guy the American People put into office has grown old. Here's the real problem, established politicians don't like the fact they can't control Trump. Every time one of these bitches try's to get rid of Trump with misinformation, using witch hunt tactics and out and out bull shit, it's a slap in the face to every voter. Everyday they spend time bashing Trump, is a day of lost work. They need to shut their mouths and do the job they were elected for. They are getting nothing done and we are paying for it. So what if the white house is in Chaos, so is Congress and that's decades long. Seriously any politician in Washington has nerve complaining about Trump when they have been feckless twits long before Trump ever got elected. Time to clean house America and establish term limits for all Washington politicians.

Who says its 'misinformation'?

If Trump were a corrupt incompetent, what would it look like? And how would you ever know? As you ignore anyone who criticizes the president. From any party. In any position. Named, or unnamed.

If the critic is not a republican, they are a 'liberal', and thus ignored.
If the critic is a member of the press they are the 'enemies of the people' and thus ignored.
If the critic is a republican, they are the 'swamp' and thus ignored.
If the critic works for the government, they are the 'deep state' and thus ignored.
If the critic worked for Trump, they are 'disgruntled' and thus ignored.

You have left yourself literally NO avenue for criticism of the President. As the only sources you accept as valid are those effusively praising the President. Or Trump himself.

If Trump were amoral and incompetent.....we'd expect these exact kind of criticisms being delivered the way they are. As Trump even now rages that they should be 'turned over to the government' and accuses them of 'treason'.

Please you are in denial. The left has been trying to pin something on Trump for almost two years and what have we got for it?

Can you please read us Comey's statements to Mueller.

And while you're at it, Papodapolous and Flynn's statements to the Mueller investigation.

With links please.

And that has produced what in regards to Trump? Has he been arrested? Impeached? Has he been charged with Treason? Nope because that requires evidence. There is no real evidence. Last time I looked it was two years later and he's sitting in the oval office because all the accusation don't amount to anything. That alone is proof they got nothing. The truth is if you look into any of these assholes in Washington personal and political history you'd find a lot worse than what they've allegedly dug up on Trump. I suggest you start with Hillary and Bill Clinton. Any investigation on them will no doubt lead to a slew of crimes by Washington politicians including Obama. They are hypocrites. Consider this. The career politicians on both sides of the aisle's hatred for Trump is so strong they used McCain's funeral to bitch about it. Hatred is not proof of wrong doing, it's just petty bullshit.

Relax, kick your feet up and enjoy. Mueller still has years ahead of him before this even becomes close to the Starr investigation. By then, maybe they’ll catch Trump on a perjury charge; maybe stemming from the Summer Zervos lawsuit.

Quote the Op-Ed specifically for what you're accusing the writer of.

I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.

It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.

The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.

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.

In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.

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.

But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.

From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies, senior officials will privately admit their daily disbelief at the commander in chief’s comments and actions. Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.

Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.

“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.

The erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes in and around the White House. Some of his aides have been cast as villains by the media. But in private, they have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing, though they are clearly not always successful.

It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.

The result is a two-track presidency.

Take foreign policy: In public and in private, President Trump shows a preference for autocrats and dictators, such as President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, and displays little genuine appreciation for the ties that bind us to allied, like-minded nations.

Astute observers have noted, though, that the rest of the administration is operating on another track, one where countries like Russia are called out for meddling and punished accordingly, and where allies around the world are engaged as peers rather than ridiculed as rivals.

On Russia, for instance, the president was reluctant to expel so many of Mr. Putin’s spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain. He complained for weeks about senior staff members letting him get boxed into further confrontation with Russia, and he expressed frustration that the United States continued to impose sanctions on the country for its malign behavior. But his national security team knew better — such actions had to be taken, to hold Moscow accountable.

This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.

Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.

The bigger concern is not what Mr. Trump has done to the presidency 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.

Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.

We may no longer have Senator McCain. But we will always have his example — a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue. Mr. Trump may fear such honorable men, but we should revere them.

There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.

If he feels this way he should resign. The actions that he's taking is sedition. The resistance is sedition.

Anonymous Trump official writes scathing New York Times editorial denouncing their own boss

You mean that is all it takes? You mean we could have had some anonymous person "come forward" to write an unverified news piece in a hate-rag like the NYT denouncing Obama claiming he was coming from the inside and you would have been all good and ready to impeach Obama? Oh man, if only you had told us while re was in office! But then, I think there was something like 113 other calls to impeach Obama during the first year in office!

Then find one. Don't talk about it.

But, but, he said he had the "best people."

These "best people" say he's incompetent, but don't worry, THEY'VE got it under control. According to your conspiracy theory he MUST have hired really GREAT people.

I remember when The New York Times had a reputation for journalistic integrity. It's sad to see what they've become these days.
