That would likely be the Steves, Stephen Miller and Steven Bannon. They agree 100% with Trump on his batshit crazy side, and they actually know a thing or two about government.

There was an excellent article on this topic on Politico awhile back (Google Politico Nuclear Football, first result) Essentially what it boils down to is a relic from the Cold War which has not standing in today’s Geopolitical environment but hasn’t been updated.

Yup, not sleeping tonight.

We need to pull this band-aid off and let Trump be Trump for a bit and show everyone what an absolute horror of a president and human being he is and get that impeachment/25th amendment solution rolling instead of propping him up to “barely even tolerable to his own people.”

Letting “Trump be Trump” could mean nuclear war.  Thanks, but no thanks.

I don’t like this. If there were an active resistance against Obama from within his own administration, we’d all be losing our minds.

Thanks Beth, your article serves as journalistic lodestar to the rest of this nation.

Well, I think it’s less that it’s new news, and more critical-gut-check-inspiring news, for three reasons. First, I think we can all agree that a) if people are playing hide-the-ball with documents from the guy in charge of the largest active nuclear arsenal in the world, and b) it’s actually working? Then something…

Two things:

I truly think that he believes he’s going to live forever because he simply cannot comprehend that the world will continue to exist once he’s gone.

My personal favorite Trump quote on all this, from Newsweek:

I would say someone close to Pence. Look for an Amy Brookheimer-esque aide or advisor who has been with Pence for a looong time. Despite what people think the Veep does have some power. Pence wouldn’t have to resort to anonymous opeds. He could make moves on his own. He has a ton of loyalists within the party. I think…

Someone on twitter did a search of Pence’s past speeches and found multiple uses of “lodestar,” which is a word very few people use regularly.

Pence can’t push him out until January if he wants to run for two full terms in 2020 and 2024.  He better hire a food-taster or go back to only drinking Mother’s milk after January 20.  

Holy shit ... there really is an old tweet of his for every occasion.

Yeah, just because someone has had bad things done to them doesn’t make them incapable of also doing bad things. I really don’t like how she is handling this either.

I don’t know....those text messages sent to Rain Dove where she admitted she had sex with him. The fact that she tried to justify it because she was in a relationship at 17 with a 33 year old. The fact that she’s now pinning the payout on the dead guy who can’t really defend himself. The fact that she’s using the same…

Oh but he would. This motherfucker is way smarter and more canny than any Trumpite. He gets shit done. When he grifts, nations and cities mourn because he’s effective. He’d by right at home in a Trump White House, just way more effective. He is a city-fucking pig. God forbid he ever get more power over a larger area:…

Even though he’s arguably the worst person the Obama administration produced, he wouldn’t even be in the top 100 awful pieces of shit if he worked for Trump.
