Almost certainly written by someone without a high ranking position that is relaying rumors spread among other never-Trumpers.

So many people throw this word around, yet have no clue what it means.

When it gets right down to it, how much do any of you actually trust Mike Pence or his staff?

I think it's a hit piece and I'll be surprised if an author is ever disclosed. The Democrats, ahem.. the American left are so unhinged now, nothing would surprise me.

If you publish an anonymous OP/ED, expect scrutiny and disbelief.

The article is not completely made up by the NYT.


There is no way you know this for a fact.

quote:

The article was written by someone relatively high ranking. Basically, this includes anyone with direct access to the president or who is a peer with multiple officials with direct access. This seems to be necessarily true if you accept point 1. 


I do not accept point 1 at face value. If, for the sake of argument, I did, though, I'd agree with your assessment.

quote:

Whoever wrote the article isn't outright lying.


Again, you don't know this for a fact.

quote:

If this is the case one wonders why they would take the risk of lying about all of the other accusations to the press. 


Easy. To ingratiate themselves to the press. Want to get an op ed in the New York Times (A Former Newspaper)? Just come with the juiciest anti-Trump angle.

quote:

I am not a Trump voter or supporter. But I am not a total fan of the article either and have genuine concerns that there are these sort of factions and subversions of democratic will at the top levels of the federal government. 



This is fair. Something about which we should all be concerned, especially as more comes to light about leftist attempts to rig the election.

quote:

If the above 3 points are true, are you not gravely concerned with the stability and fitness of this president. 


No. Not even if they're true. If they're true, it just tells me that the Deep State (something I've previously laughed at) is actually very real and a direct threat to the will of the republic.

I don't believe anything that the NYT prints. I wouldn't wipe my arse with the NYT.

Who’s alter are you?

Start off on the MSB asking about baseball fandom of the site, trying to cover up your intentions, then within 3 posts, you make your way to the poli board?

Likely


And to answer your question... if Trump was so deranged, why hide behind an op-ed? The assertions in it is as fake as CNN. What has trump even come close to destroying? Had TONS of opportunity to light up NK and he didn’t. That was my biggest concern with him is being quick on the trigger and he proved not to be.

I'll answer your question with a question:

Do you know the biggest word in the dictionary?

"If"...

No. This is an iteration of an already discredited accusation. I wish Trump would let me get a 2X12 and some jugs of water and find the a-hole.

Oh hell, I just saw this response. So you’re discrediting the Washington Post as well. Interesting that you just arbitrarily brought that organization up. Serious question in the interest of efficiency: If I simply pulled up Trump’s tweets about the media, would i essentially have a bullet point, perfect summary of your beliefs on the matter?

I didn't read the original post. I read the title and automatically assumed this would be a shitty thread.. so I had to come in and give a downvote.

Just because a disgruntled official makes claims about the prez doesn't make the conclusions true. This official should be fired and on their way out da door.
For all we know this writer is the one that is mentally ill. Many people are suffering from TDS. This person needs to go to a doctor for their TDS, and resign.
Trump is in good physical shape for his age and is very sharp mentally.

He is not in capacitated in any way. The 25th Amendment is for a situation in which the prez is on life support or something similar. It is not to be used just because a person disagrees with the policies of the prez.

That was the whole point of the op ed fan fiction.

To get useful idiot talking about "unfit". To make it seem that "lots of people" are talking about "unfit".

Nobody with a 100 IQ thinks Trump is "unfit". They may hate him and his policies, but being an A-type a-hole is exactly what being president calls for.

muh unfit

So I guess I’ll interpret your deflection of yet another straightforward question as an affirmation that you do in fact look towards Trump as a legitimate news source on this issue. You are a rare case indeed. You’ve allowed your fragile emotions to completely identify who you are. Deep down you are embarrassed by your beliefs so you sky scream about something, but then you run and hide behind deflection rather than honestly confront the hollow ridiculousness of your emotion-based claims.

But allow me to answer your question: hell no, I don’t trust Acosta. See how easy that was? You should try reality sometime.

Your interpretation makes me think you're having real trouble with the realization that the institutions you rely on to affirm your world view are trash.
