I have another theory on this NYT article....Trump or his people are known to orchestrate some of these things so he can turn around and knock the credibility of the media.

But the NYT may have inadvertently given Trump some basis to end the Mueller investigation....here is a "deep state" "never-Trumper" admitting to actively obstructing and resisting the POTUS.  That is what Trump has claimed is real purpose of the Russia investigation.

So again is there an ulterior motive behind this article?  You write an article attacking Trump, while at the same time throwing gasoline on the fire of one his biggest claims about the media and deep state undermining him.  You could have gotten the same points across without making that particular point.  Doesn't seem too smart, unless it's intentional.  Heck, maybe the purpose is to trick Trump into thinking it's cover/basis to end the Mueller investigation.

What should be worrisome to many people is that this is not really bothering Trump's base. Just today in an elevator I heard a young couple (probably mid 20s, no older than 30) talking to each other about how they didn't care what was said, that they'd vote for him again today if they could. I saw about three other people glancing at them with dead eyes when the couple were saying this haha!

It's a public hearing. Protests are a part of the process. Always have been and always will be. Let people have their say, even if it is staged. 

 

I am willing to be wrong, but I don't remember outbursts like this in any other SCOTUS hearing in the Senate.

Ehhhhh, the basic point of that article is "Trump is a dangerous, unstable moron who's running an effective Administration in spite of himself".  Sounds more like a self-important smear than something to be concerned with.  There is a lot of noise and a lot of hyperbole about him - I don't think people are idiots for tuning that out and focusing on the results.

So the notoriously thin-skinned, intolerant moron ultimately listens to you and lets you do your job, making the decisions you think are best....and continues to employ you despite your self-described insubordinate behavior?  I don't think it's a stretch to think Trump might not be nearly as ineffective as people keep portraying him to be. 

Without saying much about him as a businessman, he has a 50-yr track record employing thousands of people....despite the caricatures, that's not the mark of someone incapable and incompetent.  You'll see the needle start to move when people start attacking his policies rather than his personality.  Everyone knew he was an asshole - that's not why they voted for him.  I think people should be careful throwing around labels like "stupid" about Trump supporters who continue not to care that he's an asshole.  And how are we surprised, in 2018, that people who voted for the POTUS are pretty much immune to any criticism of the POTUS?

According to Ms. Perry, any comparison of MAGA hats on the right to pink pussies and dildoes on the left are "over-simplified".  Interesting.

Wait.....there's an industry blacklist for warehouse workers?

Why can't people just laugh at Trump like healthy, well-adjusted people?  It's not like there's any shortage of jokes....

So all these people denying they wrote the anonymous NYT op-ed.....none of them denying it's true!   LMFAO

So CNN has a judiciary member saying that Trump is a 6th grader mentally.

They will say anything to win this.

That's probably being generous.

Media going full tard.  

This article explains the frustration so many of us had with the prior deal with Iran.

It's pretty incredible how many people allow Trump to affect their daily moods.  If your mental well being is dependent on who is in the WH you need to reevaluate your life.  I hated Obama, but I could have gone weeks without even thinking about him and that's living in DC with his sheep treating him like a god.

How did I miss this, it is hilarious. More hilarious are the fucking losers who have donated $475 to her. Also, daily reminder of the morons on the left, Strozk's gofundme has raised $462k. All who donated should punch themselves in the face.

i cant wait till after the midterms..... I think Trump is going to end the Mueller witch hunt and then open another one and sick the dogs on Clinton, DOJ, FBI, Ohr, Steele and everyone involved in the 2016 election rigging.

I wish we had signatures and quotes that linked back to the original post.  I'd put this quote in my signature.

Serena’s coach cheats, umpire calls it out, Serena goes on a tirade... ump now racist and sexist. Rinse and repeat how the left works.

Oh and spread obviously edited videos like Kamala Harris of Kavanaugh quoting a case that she made out to be his opinion. The calls of perjury are humorous too.

Kamala the Ugandan Giant would be a better president than Kamala Harris.

I don't really know much about tennis so I wasn't going to say anything but I saw the headlines on Twitter about double-standards (men wouldn't have been penalized like she was) and how this is what it's like being a black woman. 

How in the hell do you cheat in tennis?  WTF is someone in the stands going to do to help you out?

It's a strange, but oft-recurring phenomenon:

Speaking of which, with Winston suspended, he's kickin' it with TB. 15-21, 200-some yards, 2 TDs.

O-Trap owes Fitzpatrick an apology.  Kaep would be lucky to be half the pro he is. Fitz > Kaep any day of the week.
