NYT Responds to Trump

You are being hyperbolic to rationalize your lord and master’s rage.

Insulating your department from what you view as bad decisions is what department heads do every day all over the world.

Advisors disagreeing with the POTUS is not a conspiracy.

dantes · 2018-09-09T12:11:37.243Z

I doubt anyone wants that.

zantax:

by force

Force is a pre-req. Otherwise, one could argue that impeachment is sedition. It’s ridiculous.

Man! If only you people were this supportive of an investigation into attacks on or sovereignty by another nation, we’d be good to go!

Didn’t say it was.

It’s not “technically, technically”.

Like check her DNA? The only blond haired blue eye Native American I’ve ever seen.

BY FORCE being the key to SEDITION.

BY FORCE being the key to SEDITION.

Violence is not the only form of force, compulsion is also force. Exerting your authority to hinder or defy the law is a form of force.

Or we could go with this instead

Your concern for a documented terrorist is noted. ■■■■ al-Awlaki.

CanadianJudo · 2018-09-09T14:48:54.061Z

nothing in the op-ed was illegal.

CanadianJudo · 2018-09-09T14:50:23.536Z

Its not illegal to try and direct the President into following a pathway of policy.

Konssurvative1 · 2018-09-09T15:07:00.946Z

Tell your self what you need to…thats not what the statute says. Maybe I could give you this if there were written threats in the OP ED. But there were none. There is no force being used.

He picked the only Obama policy that Trump continued/beefed up as an example of something bad Obama did

The excuses people are coming up with about the editorial are hilarious and are avoiding the big issue. It’s not just that you have someone like this in the White House. It’s WHY. This isn’t an isolated voice. But let’s forget about the Woodward book for a minute. You’ve had people talking about Trump’s incompetence before. But now you have professionals who are on the front line who can see the danger he can cause (danger that’s not fully known to us being that we’re not in security positions) speaking out. They wouldn’t be speaking out like this in an unprecedented op-ed if there wasn’t an immediate danger.

Charges of “conspiracy” require an underlying criminal offense.

tnt · 2018-09-09T16:08:37.301Z

Yeah, but Talk Radio Conservatives think they are smarter than the people actually doing the work in teh white house And if THEY love Trump unconditionally - and they do - and hang on his every word as infallible gospel - and they do - then anyone who disagrees is on teh other team and is therefore an enemy of the people…
