Resistance in the White House: Holding the Line Against Trump's Base Instincts

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That's civil war.

No, it's officials exercising their sworn duty to the country. This is not an authoritarian regime, and we are not an authoritarian country..

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

So, you're OK with bureaucrats fighting to undermine a duly elected, sitting president?

In this case, yes, absolutely, in a queasy way. I admit, if they all did another honorable thing and resigned and talked to Congress publicly, that might be even better. But, is not staying there to protect the country also honorable? Tough call.

Protect the country from what, policies they don't agree with or worse, a president they wish didn't win? Sorry, I have a huge problem with this.. it's dangerous at best. Sorry, I am not a huge Trump fan, but this is ridiculous.

 

[Mike473]

That's civil war.

No, it's officials exercising their sworn duty to the country. This is not an authoritarian regime, and we are not an authoritarian country..

Exercising their sworn duty anonymously and without evidence.

 

[Mike473]

It is not just the Dems. Many Republicans can't stand the fact that Jeb Bush didn't get his turn as President. He was entitled to it you know.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. FAKE NEWS.
2. Its what the media does.
3. They are desperate to rid Trump of his position of power.
4. Trump is to be feared and ruined at all costs.
5. This could very easily turn into civil war.

Regards,

In an Op-Ed in the New York Times a high-level insider in the Trump White House explains the danger Trump poses to our republic and the attempts of a few patriots to how Trump's baser instincts in check:

From the Op-Ed:

To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.

But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.

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......

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.......

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.

Thank heaven there are still patriots who put country before loyalty to the Orange menace.

God Speed to them.

If true, it’s just another idiotic neo-con. He complains about his trade policies, which have been on point against the globalist Agenda. The rest of it is just nonsense you hear from any idiotic liberal. Hopefully the traitor will be found so he can be hanged out to dry for the coward he is. Why can’t these deep state moles be upfront and honest? Oh yea, because they are cowards.

It was a little over a year ago, that Trump met in the Oval office with the Russians. Trump kicked out American media & let Russian media in. There were only 3 other Americans in that room with them. They were H.R. McMaster, National Security adviser, Dina Powell, Deputy National Security adviser, & Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State. So which one of these 3 leaked to the Washington Post, that Trump had given classified information to the Russians, that had not gone through the process of being declassified? These 3 top cabinet officials are now long gone from the Trump administration.
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
Who was in Trump's meeting with the Russians? - CNNPolitics

This was Trump showing Vladimir Putin what he could get away with as POTUS. It was no beginner mistake.

In fact, US intelligence agents had warned Isreali Intelligence a few months before to not give Trump classified information, citing he is compromised by the Russians.
The source of the intel Trump shared with Russia reportedly was warned months ago not to give it to him

I think there is an 80% chance that this NYT oped came directly from General John Kelly, Trump's chief of staff. He has been openly embarrassed by Trump's comments on numerous occasions. He was installed by Republicans to replace Reince Preibus, who couldn't handle Trump.

General John Kelly, Trump's chief of staff, when Trump was giving a speech at the UN.

These people swore an oath to this country (not Trump) to defend and protect against foreign and domestic enemies. While in front of the public they will swear alligiance to the red hat ass clown, behind closed doors it's quite a different scenario. It's very possible they considerTrump to be the enemy, which is why we get so many leaks. They are the last defense. It's also the reason this administration has a turnover rate that beats Der Weinersnitzel.

More deep state nonsense. These people are Trump's own appointees. These are his people.

The traitor is the Orange Menace who seeks to destroy out institutions and reek havoc in the nation. This just confirms Woodward's book that Trump is an out-of-control maniac.

It is too bad there are so many people who still under the Orange one's spell. Trump is a rogue. A danger to the nation and the world.

Which people?

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Holy crap. This is like a freakin' movie.

Kind of a "dark comedy".

Perhaps. It's nucking futs, but it also may be complete bullshit. Stay alert. Woodward's book is coming out and the similarities are uncanny to this op-ed. We're still living in the reality show administration, remember?

So, you're OK with bureaucrats fighting to undermine a duly elected, sitting president?

In this case, yes, absolutely, in a queasy way. I admit, if they all did another honorable thing and resigned and talked to Congress publicly, that might be even better. But, is not staying there to protect the country also honorable? Tough call.

What is honorable about usurping a constitutional democratic election?

[Bush92]

Trump has little power, now. His military rebuffs his orders, as do his top diplomats, as do his top economic advisers; his Senate has rebuked him, and he stands to lose the House.

What drugs are you on? The military follows his orders. As do his diplomats and economic advisers. The Senate stands by him and there is going to be no “blue wave” in November. Trump is still popular with working class Americans.

The crime is treason.

This individual is deliberately trying to undermine the legitimately elected US Prez because he/she doesn't support.

In reality, of course, what scares this person is the TRUTH that may come out on

1. 911
2. Global Warming
3. whether Joan Rivers was murdered for telling the truth about QUEER O and his man/wife

Maybe that’s the definition in a dictatorship. Treason is when you commit crimes against the country. These people are patriots doing what’s best for the country despite what idiot Trump says.

They are not “patriots.” They are usurping the will of the American public that elected Trump.
