Holy Fuckballs!

Er, what exactly is riding on it? It will probably be forgotten in two weeks if not sooner.

Well, we'll get to watch Trump have a paranoid melt down as he starts sacking everyone he relies upon one by one as he becomes convinced that they are plotting against him.

I can't wait.

If the writer is telling the truth, it wouldn't be paranoia.

He didn't say that everyone was part of the Trump resistance and Trump doesn't know who is part of it.

Anyway, wannabe dictators like Trump are prone to paranoia. So he'll still be wondering about the new people he's hired.

In the same fashion as the fact that you are paranoid doesn’t imply that everyone is not out to get you, so the fact that everyone is really out to get you doesn’t mean you are not paranoid.

This is what is soooooo sweet about this. The asshole has been paranoid since day one. Now he cant look at anyone in the White House without suspicion. 

Is it Mattis? Is it Sarah? Is it Kelly? Is it even Pence? 

This is just like any mob movie when the DA announces they have inside info on a secret witness.

He fucking deserves it. This is what you get for being a fucking dick.

Nation Stunned That There Is Someone in White House Capable of Writing an Editorial

Davis Logsdon, a professor of linguistics at the University of Minnesota, said that a team of language experts under his supervision has studied the Op-Ed word by word and is “in a state of disbelief” that someone currently working for Donald J. Trump could have written it.

“There are complete sentences, there are well-structured paragraphs, there is subject-verb agreement,” he said. “This does not appear to be the work of any White House staffer we’re familiar with.”

The first rule of Secret Cabal is, you don't talk about Secret Cabal.

This is probably the work of a low-level staffer with delusions that his actions are meaningful, or outright fiction.

If not...if it's real...you just made your mission a lot harder, and gave fuel to the Deep Staters. Dumbass.

Well, you are on the right track there.

Tipping off Trumply is logically inconsistent with the whole idea of there being organized resistance inside the politburo.

We don't let Christers make errors like that here, we should expecially have extra scrutiny of folks coming around telling us just what we want to hear.

And the leaker (if there really is one) is a dumbass, either Pence, or Jared or Trumply's daughter


if I had to pick one:

This is why I reckon it's either Pence or more likely on behalf of Pence. All he needs do now is watch the Trump melt down.

You think Bob Woodward's book is fiction too?

[vorlon13]

All we are getting is denials from the people Woodward quotes.

I badly wish Bob is 100% true and accurate, but I'm infused with a deep suspicion of belief. Woodward may or may not have vetted his sources appropriately and I have no way of knowing, and just 'believing' him is insufficient, at least for me.

Seems like we went thru this same routine from the play book just a couple weeks ago. And again, we have something to warm the hearts of the national 'resistance' but AGAIN, nothing to rattle the True Trumply Believers.

Y'all have your hearts in the right place, but I'm looking/requiring the minds join in too.


We're not there yet.


Fuck belief in the ass with the barbed wire wrapped fist of TRUTH!
