Pretty cool huh? Like right out of a Tom Clancy novel or something!

I have mixed feelings about this. One one hand I'm not thrilled about the idea of our government being run by a handful of unelected officials and military leaders. Bottom line, when our President gives a lawful order it should be followed and not ignored or undermined according to their whims. I don't view these people as patriots or heroes or whatever. On the other hand, Trump is an enormous dumbass and not doing every stupid thing he wants is probably a net positive. Thoughts?

Remember that video game Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell? I was a badass at that game. One time I was in this hallway and I jumped up so I had one foot on each wall but I was high in the air and this enemy guy walked right under me and didn't even know I was there. Then when he was gone I jumped down and kept sneaking around.

I can imagine Pence doing exactly this as DJT waddles down the hall

I find unelected officials to be more competent than elected officials the majority of the time.

Our Federal government has entirely too much power, and much of it is vested with unelected self interested ass clowns. It needs to be gutted, proper style.

Strange, I thought he was only bringing in the best people

I think the op ed was more along the lines of what I said all along. Assuring America there are competent grownups in the admin who are ready to slap his hand away from the button (figuratively)

Yeah the NYT piece is pretty much the context behind this thread. I'm pretending like it's all true so gE can come together and discuss the pros and cons of a Shadow Government.

they're not doing anything; they're just stopping Trump from doing the worst stuff.

they're not the bowling ball; they're the bumpers

That doesn't exactly narrow down the list of suspects.

When I make a list of the pros and cons, I notice that both columns are identical.

The Stooopids, aka Democrats, thought they could impeach trump to get him out of office or use the Crazy Guy clause in the 25th amendment to get rid of him. Stooopids lose on both counts. Now they are trying to get him using a strategy of physiological warfare with chemical castration. Their operatives in Government are doing their best to sabotage Trump and do things to rile him up to a point of incoherent behavior. All the while delaying and delaying hoping to neuter any new conservative initiatives. Stooopids is going to lose big time in November, and Trump will take a dump in your lunch sack

Didn't read the referenced oped bc nyt, lol.

But "anonymous oped" is like the chicken shittiest thing I've ever heard of. Just post a comment, turd. Jfc
