I’m unimpressed. This person wants a cookie for being too afraid to really stand up to this imposter in the White House. He’s not doing us any favors by supporting this charade of presidency.

Do the President is dummy being propped up by a bunch of self righteous conservatives in the White House? Do they really think we don’t know that????

“To cover my tracks, I usually pay attention to other staffers' idioms and use that in my background quotes. That throws the scent off me," the current White House official added.”

Not a done deal. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. You are being foolish.

I don't think people are "excited". I think people are more disgusted that this person and others in the WH who feel the same don't do more to get Trump out now, not wait two more years, and that's not even a done deal.

"Yeah, this is probably right. Actuarially speaking, there are lot more nobodies than somebodies.

Also, people who are like "the NYT would NEVER publish it unless it's someone BIG" should remember that this is the NYT op-ed page, which has much laxer standards than the newsroom."

Thoughts?


this piece is HUGE but ONLY if it is written by someone important.

we all know that there are many nobodies working in the WH who loath trump. there have been many many leaks to confirm this. the only (huge) value of this piece comes from a claim that someone with an actual power to subvert the president is doing it. if this turns out to be some random wh aide nobody has heard of it would really stain NYT.


The author is not a nobody. No way, the Times plays that game. The institutional risk is too big. The author is important and this is HUGE.


PP here and i agree. i don't think NYT would publish a nobody the way nate silver is suggesting. and yeah, being an 'appointee' doesn't really cut it. this must be a person known to everyone who follows politics.


I am a PP and I agree. Also, for the 25th Amendment bit to be important - and let's just take a moment to say holy sh*t about that one - it has to be someone whose participation in those conversations was meaningful in some way. Not someone who just overheard some junior staff mention the 25th A.

+1 million.

The “inside resisters” are not putting country first; they are putting party and their own self-interest first.

Putting country first would mean getting an unfit President out of office.
