The editor’s note on the Op-Ed makes me think it can’t be Trump:

The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure...

Makes me think it isn’t any of the big name figures, since the NYT would sell most of them out in a heartbeat.

Remember how they had Trump all but Impeached over the Comey Memo ?

Aaaaaand the panicked media predictably publishes a bunch of stories telling us what a hero the cowardly deep-state op-ed writer is:

We’re in uncharted waters. Don’t be too quick to condemn ‘Deep State Throat.’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/ ... anonymous/

In defense of the New York Times’s anonymous Trump official
https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy ... -amendment

More forthcoming, assuredly.

All of them using the ooky-logic of “It’s ok if our side uses non-elected bureaucrats to subvert the will of the people, because REASONS”.
:doh:

I mean, it’s not really subversion if the people are too damn stupid to know what’s good for them and need our guidance - Democrat “Logic” 101

We're witnessing the unraveling of the republic - Trump gets removed over this, then a good chunk of the population is going to loose faith that the system is even remotely fair.....which means they won't "buy into the system" any more....making violence seem more and more like the only way to defend their interests....

Tin-foil hat me says the left wants this...break the glue that keeps the Republic together and you break the Republic.....

Its happening either way. The Left didn’t make it happen any more than the Right did. People are waking up to the fact that they’ve been sold a bill of goods.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

It's really weird the way the left lemmings are behaving....I have a close friend who keeps sending me CNN and NTY articles about how shitty and racist Trump is...but when I ask for citations - he admits there are no hard facts....yet he maintains Trump is destroying the country....so I ask what policies specifically has been raciest or bad - no reply. It's like logic is completely irrelevant.

That's why I feel the rise of the left is unstoppable....we're seeing what we know to be true....most of the human population is too stupid to protect their own liberty....they run to any populist at a whim without considering the consequences....

The Republic is done - prove me wrong.

+1 Not bad

I'll tell you what else the Op-Ed did was get the Kavanaugh Hearings off the front page.
Who benefits from that?

The extreme ends are going to get more extreme, as they desperately try to maintain their funding levels. That’s just marketing dude.

Boomers are dying, and the rest of us aren’t donating to these clowns.

Eventually, some people buy in to the Commie thing, but it’s not going to end in a Glorious Revolution. There will be some more rioting, and some unrest, but no organized Civil War.

We’re seeing the justification for a totalitarian police state built for “safety” and “stability”. It’s not predicated on an ideology, though they’ll certainly build some kind of structure for that.

This is the fall of the Roman Republic, repeated to the letter. Hail Caesar.

No man - the "progressives" are making big gains....the fact that Socialism is even being considered as a viable solution shows you how far things have gone.....we're going to have a majority of the house and senate who want open borders and bigly free gibs...thats it man...system will implode under financial stress...Middle America is already being financially ruined in high tax states...they can't afford the taxes and can't sell their homes above what they paid for...they're fucked man....fucked...and taxes are only going to go up....with wages going down....
