Trump responds to news of a Patriot in the White House watching over him, his paranoia level must be off the charts with this and not knowing who talked to Woodward:

He is definitely creepy. If he were a republican, he would be crucified for that. However, as a democrat, it's all good.

haha, to be completely unaware of who's President.

Trump shook:

TREASON?
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h

Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 17m

lol, turn them over, haha. He wants to be King so badly. Maybe for firing squad. He sad treason which is punishable by death.

What's funny is Pence is trending, saying it might be him - https://twitter.com/search?q=Pence&src=tren&lang=en

Why ‘shadow president’ Mike Pence badly wants the Oval Office
Michael D’Antonio and Peter Eisner argue Pence yearns for ‘a vision of a white-washed past’—and has ‘methodically pursued’ the presidency

Used same words as in the piece:

omg, maybe it is Pence:

"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."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

Who the hell uses the word lodestar? I've never heard of that word in my life.

haha, Pence, Trump's VP is the inside Resistance. Trying to take out Trump so he can be President.


‘’The Vice President is The Only Person The President Can’t Fire.’’

or................

maybe somebody knew this would be picked up on and trying to make it seem like Pence.

"President Mike Pence... President Michael Pence... Mr. President Pence... Mr. Prezzy P... Ladies and Gentlemen, the NEEEWWW President and leader of the free world, Mike Pence! Ooo, I like that one!"

Exactly what I was thinking - someone deliberately used that word as a red herring. Not like its a word in everybody's vocabulary.

Would be too funny if it WAS him though ...

Between the book and this 45 must be apoplectic. Surprised there haven't been more tweets - though the tweetstorms usually happen early in the morning.

The more I think about that op ed, the more something about it feels “off” to me.

What was the purpose in writing this?

If they’re such patriots who believe in 45s policies, yet truly think he’s dangerously out of control and are attempting “damage control” until he leaves, why NOT take the 25th? They’re causing a constitutional crisis themselves and imperiling the nation by essentially setting themself / themselves up as acting president without going through legal channels. Sort of a soft coup.

Or does this message have another agenda? Rallying his base? Reinforcing the “deep state” myths? (Though note that these are clearly RIGHT wing operatives, according to the writer.) Setting someone up to be fired? Lulling the public onto a false sense of security to inhibit voter turnout? Disinformation to confuse people and cause distrust of everything they read? All of the above?

It reads like propaganda...something about it smells funny and doesn’t ring true.

I predict some senior administration official or officials will be fired. And it won’t be the writer of this op ed.

 

[Domainace]

Reinforcing the “deep state” myths? (Though note that these are clearly RIGHT wing operatives, according to the writer.)

Good you are asking questions. Just a couple points. The deep state is not a myth. Everybody knows about it. Call it the bureaucracy if you wish. Pretty much the same thing. It's not a matter of right or left, but of entrenched bureaucrats, military men, lobbyists, etc.

Secondly, I am still surprised that the left wing doesn't recognize that there is more than one "right wing." Even after all this time. There are conservatives, neocons, and other groups - none of which Trump belongs to. This is what makes him so interesting. Te neocons, who like to wage wars and sow discord near and far, are not all that different from most of the left wing politicians, who also enjoy that.

Trump is a political outsider. So naturally he has no cabinet he can trust, as he hasn't spent years building a political network. This is a good thing. He is upsetting the natural order of entrenched politics. That is also good. The rest is just fluff that the media feeds the sheep.

I doubt it was a senior official. If this was true, author wouldn't have a reason to make it pubilc. This is psyc warfare against the President of the USA. Trying to sow mistrust and paranoia.

For some reason, democrats think they're better behaved, more civil than President Trump. Remember, Kamala Harris, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, many more defend these violent protest by left-wing fascist and communist.

The left has never been civil.

NYT’s ‘Anonymous Source’: Traitor, Troll, Or Tall Tale
https://www.dailywire.com/news/3551...-traitor-troll-or-tall-tale-michael-j-knowles

The New York Times has published fictitious reporting before, and the Gray Lady’s treatment of the Trump administration has been particularly hysterical. The mere fact that the Times stooped so low as to publish so serious an allegation anonymously shatters whatever patina of journalistic integrity the paper once possessed.

In any case, the Times’s op-ed exposes more clearly than ever that powerful enemies of the American people are determined to overturn the people’s choice in 2016. We will learn in coming months whether the people have the will or inclination to fight back.

Te neocons, who like to wage wars and sow discord near and far, are not all that different from most of the left wing politicians, who also enjoy that.

I don't think neocons and their left-wing counter parts enjoy discord. Discord is the result of trying to save people through war. For some reason, they are never prepared to handle the chaos they create.

Like Soros, they probably enjoy the power of being able to "fix" societies.

Trump is a political outsider. So naturally he has no cabinet he can trust, as he hasn't spent years building a political network. This is a good thing. He is upsetting the natural order of entrenched politics. That is also good. The rest is just fluff that the media feeds the sheep.

Who the hell uses the word lodestar? I've never heard of that word in my life.

Not only have I never said the word Lodestar, I have never heard anyone I have ever known say it either.

 

[enlytend]

Good you are asking questions. Just a couple points. The deep state is not a myth. Everybody knows about it.

If “everybody knew about it”, it wouldn’t be “deep state” now, would it?

It is a worthless conspiracy theory.

And just like there are various “right wing” groups and agendas, same for the “left” Although some here don’t seem to recognize that.

One thing that’s not a conspiracy theory is that certain nations have a long and well documented history of weakening their enemies by sowing discord and confusion within those countries, including mistrust of the media and government agencies who would be a line of defense.

 

[enlytend]

Not only have I never said the word Lodestar, I have never heard anyone I have ever known say it either.

Pence OTOH has used it on a number of occasions. Then again, someone could run transcripts through software to analyze word usage.

Cory Booker dramatically releases documents under executive privilege. Sen Mike Lee embarrasses him by letting everyone know docs were already approved for release.

Watching Booker squirming in his chair was worth the drama.

Cory Booker: I'm releasing these documents at my own peril!

Mike Lee: Yeah.. we OK'd the release yesterday.

Update** Document shows Kavanaugh opposes racial profiling. #Resistance theater for democratic sheep.

Lachlan Markay ✔ @lachlan
So the documents that Cory Booker violated committee rules to release shows that Kavanaugh rejected the use of race or national origin in airport security screening and law enforcement generally in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 https://www.scribd.com/document/387988906/Booker-Confidential-Kavanaugh-Hearing …


Update**

Cory Booker: "I Am Spartacus"
Senator Grassley: How many times are you going to repeat yourself?
