It sure is hard. Multiple members could easily have that training especially if it’s a KGB plot.
Clearly this is the tip of the iceberg with regard to a Russian plot to weaken our nation. They’ve done it to other countries in the exact same way.

Hissy fits? Do you ever read what Trump tweets and says? Do you ever watch Hannity? My god, do you have any idea how stupid you sound talking about the hissy fits of anti Trump groups when Trump takes that behavior to a completely new level.
Anyone who thinks there is a serious chance of invoking the 25th is into Infowars style conspiracy theories.
It would require the support of at least half of the cabinet, the VP, and 2/3 of BOTH the Senate and House. Plus, the President has every right to challenge it and object, unlike impeachment.
Even if you could get the cabinet, VP and most of Congress to agree, who thinks Trump would just sit back and accept whatever happened?
Unlikely as you say, but it certainly applies to Trump.
The NYT article is the sort of thing an enemy would publish just before an attack. Create chaos and uncertainty and mistrust in the leadership.
It is right out of Sun Tzu.
At his first polygraph test to enter the CIA, the future director had a secret.
Nemesis:LMAO so you are comparing Trump to someone with a medical condition or disability?
Yes. I believe he has a medical condition. I have said that multiple times. And I believe that in this country, we make accommodations for people with medical conditions. And those who would exploit a medical condition of another in the workplace are usually subject to disciplinary actions.
He has a personality disorder, in my opinion, which is not a condition that relieves him of responsibilities for his actions.
… is Mike Pence. Maybe? Make your bets.
At this point, fire everyone and start fresh, even if only the President is left.
That is the action the author and his/her swamp buddies hope to incite… create extreme paranoia and chaos. Libs here are rubbing their hands in glee at such a prospect as “fire everyone”.
As I said before, such a plan -to write such an article and publish it - comes from experts in psychological operations used by the CIA. We do this very thing to ISIS for the very same reason.
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.
He’s too immature to forget this. It’ll weigh on his mind.
DougBH: CaughtInTheMiddle:Yep. This entire mess is directly on the shoulders of those who voted for Donald Trump.
And now they’ll try to weasel out of responsibility.
There is no national mess other than the hissy fits of anti Trump groups. As to Trumps personal moral character, voters are not his ethics teachers. If one is bothered by this, the next election cycle is the legitimate place to handle it.
Seems pretty clear to me, republican voters despise and fear democratic control of government more than they despise Trump. You are free to choose who that says something negative about. I think it’s a very solid condemnation of democrats, not Trump supporters. I know the last time they had power, they cost me a hell of a lot of money. Which was admittedly offset by the fed printing up a few trillion to keep the market afloat during their reign of terror.
I’m sure Democrats will disagree about whom it says more.
All I have to do is try to picture the two new Supreme Court Judges we would be getting if Hillary had won…plus the effect on control of the agencies that a 12 year Democratic reign would have had.

Polygraph panic: CIA director fretted his vote for communist | CNN Politics
Well if that is the case they are using this tactic because they know Trump is so thin skinned and cannot abide even the slightest bit of criticism. If the President is incapable of rising above articles like this then he really has no business being the President.
Do you realize that in your criticism for the op-ed you are admitting we have a weak president.
I am trying to remember the last time the precursor to an attack on a country was a anonymous op-ed.

It should weigh on his mind. Someone just admitted to being in an unelected secret cabal to control our government.

What medical condition? I am genuinely interested to know what is his medical condition that causes him to tweet uncontrollably and belittle anyone who is in the slightest bit critical of him?
I’d put my money on syphilis caused by his own personal Vietnam.
Whatever power they wield is granted to them entirely by the President himself.
There is nothing to suggest they are doing anything other than what the president has given them the power to do.
Well, well, well…the deep state is announcing it’s existence to all the deniers.
A Republican Deep State. Not the fantastical Obama Deep State you pretended existed without proof.
And as Corker, along with many others who have insight to this administration have stated, this reality exposed through this op-ed was well known throughout DC. The spineless wonders in the GOP are just too afraid to speak about it publicly, and denounce the chaos that is occurring in the White House.
I guess congratulations is in order though. You are partially to blame for what is being wrought on this nation. This is what you apparently wanted. The development of a Deep State and a swamp filled to the brim with Republicans via your favorite politician, Donald Trump.

You made a strawman, ya know. I don’t recall that I said he should not take responsibility for his actions. But those who intentionally exploit a personality disorder for their own goals (even if they think they are being patriotic) need to be held accountable.
If you cant debate me, don’t bother posting your strawmen.

Why did Trump appoint these people? He explicitly said many, many times that he only hires the best people.

I see. So what do you mean by “accommodations” that should be made for his “medical condition”?

If he has a personality disorder then he needs to disclose that to the public but until that time his ranting and weird tweeting is fair game.
As for a strawman that was not my intent. I was merely trying to point out how idiotic it was to try and suggest that the op-ed is in any way a form of first strike by an enemy. But then again you believe Trump only hires the best so it could not be possibly someone on the inside who has realized just how unfit for office Trump is.
Why does everything have to be part of a bigger conspiracy with Trump supporters?

Did he? How many times is “many many”?
Plus we wouldn’t have this lunatic side show happening right now with Handnsids tale and men in condom costumes. The left seem to enjoy displaying their lunacy.
