Weasels in the Trump Administration are openly sabotaging the President — blabbing to the press about it — and evidently considering their self-serving behavior courageous

U.S. "deep state" weasels — parade their yellow-bellied musk

 

The latest in the Deep State's creatively anti-democratic doings are:

 

 

(a) Bob Woodward's book

 

and

 

(b) an anonymous New York Times knife-wielding critique of the Trump White House.

 

 

The Times' anonymously authored opinion piece reveals . . .

 

. . . the self-righteous tone of this group's presidentially aimed sabotage:

 

 

[M]any of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

 

This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.

 

Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.

 

We may no longer have Senator McCain. But we will always have his example — a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue. Mr. Trump may fear such honorable men, but we should revere them.

 

There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.

Yes, that's it

 

Warmongering John McCain (that unholy of holies) made y'all do it.

 

And (you fool) — what exactly is the difference between your "steady state" and everyone else's "deep state"?

 

 

Brave stuff, huh?

 

One would think that a genuinely honorable person would resign from the Administration and only after doing so, tell all. Under a real name.

 

Instead, this group of egotistical, self-important, job and prestige-preserving whiners are doing a lot of blabbing to make the President look even worse than he regularly makes himself appear to be.

 

Constantly leaking insider rot, as well as confessing to willfully sabotaging the Presidency, do not comport with my sense of honorable service. Whether to the arguably loathsome President or to the nation.

 

An autocratic oligarchy though the United States is, it can face consequences of the President's allegedly wide range of mistakes, without a subterranean coup taking place.

 

We the People do not need a cabal of anti-democratic, fascistically inclined, bureaucracy potentates to reverse the 2016 presidential election's outcome for our purported own good.

 

 

The moral? — I do not like President Trump's behavior or his inclinations, but I will give him a pass . . .

 

. . . before I bestow notable respect on the arguably gnawing vermin, who are so eagerly trying to stab him in the back.

 

The President may be immoral, erratic, impulsive, toddler-like, ignorant and even dumb. But those are not profoundly new developments in the American presidency. Although I will agree that getting them all in one package may mildly unprecedented.

 

Indeed, the American Deep State's most prominent characteristics are its own towering immorality, lack of accountability, murderous actions, overwhelming strategic stupidity, as well as its interminable pillaging.

 

It is unlikely that President Trump, at his narcissistic worst, could do more damagingly horribly than Anonymous' claimed "steady state" — and the Military Industrial Complex that owns it — has done.

 

Perhaps the best way to characterize Anonymous' dishonorable behavior is to recognize that "he" wants to do the right thing, just so long as it does not cost him anything significant.

 

That pusillanimity, by the way, characterizes most of the subsequently outspoken "retired" people, who have similarly "served" the nation. It is only when they leave national service that they corral the guts to recognizably speak out against the misguided national behavior that they privately tolerated, while in office or rank.

 

How personally convenient that keep-the-goodies, anonymously indulged cowardice turns out to be.
