    N Y Times

    Well, I read it and have to agree with those who label the " author " as a coward. The op-ed is written so " they " can claim credit for the good and innocence for the bad.

    He/She obviously is unwilling to let go of a most likely high paying position but, is willing to admit to going around an elected President to get what " they " consider to be the right policies enacted. Who elected " them " to run the Country ?.

    Additionally, he/she admits to a great many good things done by the President. I'm somewhat surprised " they " aren't taking credit for all of them.

    Well if any one of us posted something and the only "proof" we had to offer those who ask was, an unnamed friend of mine, we would be horse laughed off of the thread. How somebody could give a "qualified" news agency any kind of credence when the say "an unnamed source" and have it be taken for proof is ignorant. If that were the case then the National Enquirer and any of the other supermarket tabloids is just as real as the NYT and any other media outlet. If they can not show proof, the story is just BS, otherwise it just means they can print what they want and say anything they want, no proof needed so verification of the story can be checked. Does not surprise me with today's garbage the media is peddling, no proof needed, the dimwits will believe it.

    Washed up has been maybe. That's not news, nothing but hatred and bias and no wonder the liberal people are acting like jerks, they have been lied to for so long, they are brainwashed.

    What is strange is not one single mention of any Russian Collusion from the "leaker". Did that BS story already run it's course or was there no collusion?

    I've been pretty much paying attention to the anti Trump news media it seems they come up with a different story anywhere between 2 to 3 times a week and it's sorta like those fruitless carpet bombing runs that the Armed Forces used to make they just sort of let the bombs loose and hoped one or two of them hit the right thing this is what they're doing and they do it over and over and over again and it never stops and so far I guess Trump could be called the Teflon Don

    I bought the online version of the NY Times so I could read it along with other sources. I've already got an opinion but I've not read enough to give it. I will say;'They would save a lot of space if they dropped all the Trump articles. It's over whelming in the version I bought

    Well yes, if Trump had not won the election that rag would probably have to close their doors as they have nothing else to report on. Hell they do not even put out the truth anymore, just tabloid BS. You could pick that stuff up every week at the grocery store check out line.

    Appears if true he/she isn't the only one. Made for prime time soap. LOL

    word use is being poured over to see who may be responsible. One unique word stands out, lodestar. Its evidently a word that pops up in VP Pence's vocabulary in several public addresses.

    Now that would truly be the capstone of the weirdest era in American political history, if correct.

    Childish antics being used by both the media and those involved on the left. Same goes for the childish display that the Dems are putting on at the Judge Kavanaugh hearings. Our nation is in distress, not because Trump is the embarrassment, but because of the silly childish antics both the media and the left who are breaking new ground in tantrum throwing and boorish behavior.

    He is a thought, what are they going to do when RBG dies or retires and Trump gets to pick a third Supreme?

    I could not agree more!

    Not to mention it might cause me to reevaluate my current opinion of the VP

    Well, the VP is the only person that cannot be fired by the President. Getting rid of him, were he to be the writer , would take an impeachment vote in Congress and a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

    I suppose that if it were the fact, Trump could isolate him ; assign him to a closet and not allow him access to any information until he voluntarily resigned.
