Ah you were told. No sorry, there are varying opinions on what and who the “deep state” are, and that we now have a confession as to the existence of a republican deep state does not preclude former Obama appointee’s or non-political appointee’s being involved or running a parallel effort.
I just want people to remember, that while you may applaud the “grown-ups” keeping Trump in check, that this precedent, if allowed to go unchecked, may some day be applied to a President who isn’t an incompetent jack ass, but is not approved of by the elected members of his party.
I think the left would feel a but different about it if it was say Sanders who had won and it were elected and appointed democrats attempting to usurp his executive authority to accomplish what they elected him to do. It seems to me, this is coming perilously close to the two parties who hold a virtual monopoly on our elections, placing themselves above the voters. And that should not be allowed to stand.
Trump needs to forget that article was ever written and continue the job…while at the same time having someone carry on an investigation. He himself needs to forget about it. If he gets mired down in Woodward stuff and the letter stuff and whatever the Wahington Post manages to come up with, he is through.
The best defense from being accused of being a loon is to not act like a loon.
I completely understand your perspective. I don’t even disagree with it either. But these are not normal times, and Trump is not a normal President, let alone human being. I struggle to envision the Democrats ever electing someone so completely unfit and dangerously incurious, petulant, juvenile, and a whole host of other horrendous traits that pose a real and present danger to the nation. I would have said the exact same about the GOP as well, if not for witnessing what they did with Trump. I also would like to believe that the GOP will not repeat this performance, once we exit into a post-Trump world.
Perhaps. However, he is a loon, and he will not change. He will continue to act like exactly what he is. A dangerous and petulant disaster for this nation that needs unprecedented checks on his amoral behavior.
The GOP didn’t do it, republican, independent and even some democratic voters did. I am at a loss to explain their continued support of Trump. He should have been ridden out of town on a rail long ago.
All appointed by trump, co-signed by the GOP.
Every mistake, mistep, fumble, bloop, blunder, lie, investigation, conspiracy, indictment, guilty plea, guilty verdict was deflected to the Dems having formed a deep state to make the trump admin look bad.
Do I need to post videos of this?
The won’t because they don’t want to know the truth.
I equate this to a person who doesn’t want to go to the doctor because they’re afraid of receiving bad news so they avoid at all cost until they drop dead…
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Not a higher bar. Just a majority of those that work close enough to the Orange Idiot to do the right thing, if he is as brain addled as the op-ed author suggests.
