Duped by an Anonymous GOP Coup?
Democrats are so excited by the anonymous inside-the-White House manifesto published by the unsteady New York Times, that we fail to notice what’s actually happened. We now have a cabal of Republican operatives running the show, distracting the maniac at the helm and snatching truly catastrophic orders off his desk (how cute!) while demonstrating to us, in effect, how people selected by the Maniac are quite capable of running the Executive Branch to their liking without letting the world be blown up.
Awesome, huh? I mean, these people rightly criticize, along with Bob Woodward’s book “Fear,” the utter incompetence of the sitting president to serve, but instead of doing the right thing (they are Republicans after all) which would be to deliver this manifesto, signed, to Congress with the intent of invoking the 25th Amendment (they’d still have a Republican president for the duration of the term — does Pence scare them too?) they simply tell us, like Al Haig when Reagan was shot, “[We’re] in charge now.”
And we cheer.
They have found nothing objectionable in certain of the President’s instincts, as outlined in the letter for all of us to see, such as “tax cuts, deregulation, judges,” all things we deplore when they actually happen, and rightly so, but when enabled by this gang of “resistance inside the White House” we clap like idiots…
