I refer you to the risible anonymous op-ed piece published by the NYT.  I suspect they will find out who it is and like deep throat it will end up being some lower level Obama holdover in some executive dept no one has ever heard of.  But for those who suggested our concern about the deep state was tinfoil hat stuff, you can now shut up.  It's real and it's insidious.  Frankly, any Republican President who keeps these Democrat holdovers is crazy.  They need to be swept into the private sector.

My question to the idiots at large - lets assume this op ed is 100% factual, He claims for the good of the country that he and people like himself are hindering the president, taking documents off of the presidents desk so he can not sign something and all types of whatever to get in the way of the president unhinged and almost bipolar tendencies.  While Archidiot and GFY are I am sure sending money to this persons anonymous go fund me account as we speak, this is the biggest bucket of chit I have ever read.

What would be better if this is 100% fact and not just the delusions of someone who wants to get in the way of what the president is doing, grandstanding etc.

The qustion: if Trump is as deranged as Antifatech and this coward believe - would it be better for the country to just let him go ahead and pull a Saddam and take out Assad, or really let him go 100% bat chit crazy, which would proabably get them further to getting rid of Trump in a much faster method then Mule-ear or the 25 amendment thus ripping off the bandaid and as they like to believe bringing order to the chaos.  I can not imagine that if the president was shown to be that damn crazy with actual facts, proof and evidence I can not imagine anyone on the republican side not saying that it was a huge mistake to put Trump into office and start the impeachment last week.

or the

Lets work against him, slow down the insanity, write an Op-Ed that basically states "Yes, we are the deep state, the deep state is real, we are working against the president -  but we are doing it for good reasons" thus slowly pulling the bandaid off over what is probably going to end up being 8 years and having to spend all their time finding ways to stop the president from doing harm.

You would have to be insane to think anyone who actually wanted the president out of office would not go with option 1 to have a quick end to this presidency thus leaving the only other option is that the idiot who wrote this has to be a Obama leftover trying his best to create the chaos that he is self reporting.

I've heard this and that would frankly shock me as it would be so out of his character.  He would simply resign.  No, I am convinced this is either some Obama leftover or some appointee at the end of their career.  Either way the writer is a complete gutless wonder and he should be identified.  This smacks all too much of politics from another deep state actor but we shall see....maybe.  Whoever did this, if they have a shred of decency they will identify themselves and resign.  How they can justify staying is beyond me, other than greed for fear they wouldn't be able to find another job given their abominable backstabbing cowardly op-ed.

So do we believe the New York Times when they say the author works in the WH?  If so it would be the first time they told the truth?! Lol.

Even I can't imagine that the NYT would stoop that low.....and I hold them in very low regard so that's saying a lot.  If this op-ed was made up lots of people at that newspaper should be fired.  But I suspect it's real.

Cover and Deception.  The author probably knew the word was one used by Pence but not commonly used by others and purposely used it to throw suspicion toward Pence.  Classic deception technique.

I still wonder if it isn't Melania.    Or Maybe John McCain, speaking from beyond.

McCain could make sense - he controlled everything else about his death and I doubt most republicans would reference McCain as a loadstar.
