No, they don’t. I think resignation is an honorable (and sometimes effective) form of protest. I said this about Kim Davis a couple of years back, but (no surprise) the “conservative” posters here at CAF denounced the idea resoundingly.But we sure do know they don’t have to stay and “put up with” what they are represented as thinking intolerable
To oppose the president in a republic is done in the open, not hiding like a weasel trying to undermine a duly elected president.And there is the road we’re going down, and it’s scary. To oppose the president is to oppose the people.
We’ve seen this before, people.
I have no recollection of this and don’t know what Kim Davis was all about or who she was. I don’t doubt yu said what you did. But this is just unknown to me.I said this about Kim Davis a couple of years back, but (no surprise) the “conservative” posters here at CAF denounced the idea resoundingly.
And if the people agree with you, there is an election in 2020. That’s how it is done in our republic.the entire presidency has been off the wall … Look at how trump communicates.
Off the wall is no benchmark anymore… .Trump set the new standards of communication
As a Republic, we’re five minutes to midnight right now. Elections mean nothing. Reportage means nothing. The self-styled liberals have gone near-fascist despite their claims to liberality. Warmongering has become a leftist trait. Traitors are thought of as heroes as they undercut national policy.To oppose the president in a republic is done in the open, not hiding like a weasel trying to undermine a duly elected president.
We have seen it before. Progressives have done it time and again. But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, don’t you think? If a White House employee thinks the next president is to be resisted from the inside, that’s okay, right? I mean, some have posted here this mole is serving the country well. Right?
You’re good with this. Right?
Kim Davis was the county clerk in Kentucky who refused to sign off on marriage certificates for same gender couples, in contradiction of the SCOTUS ruling.I have no recollection of this and don’t know what Kim Davis was all about or who she was. I don’t doubt yu said what you did. But this is just unknown to me.
She was that county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses. She became a bit of a cause celebre (and she’s back in the news after the Archbishop Vigano letter to/about Pope Francis). I said then that she should have resigned in protest, rather than hold her office hostage.I have no recollection of this and don’t know what Kim Davis was all about or who she was.

You may be right or wrong. While I don’t expect to hear it in the progressive media, I remain hopeful that there are some true liberals left who haven’t been co-opted by the progressive movement.As a Republic, we’re five minutes to midnight right now.

For the sake of everyone, I hope I’m wrong in thinking this. But I don’t think I am.
It isn’t a public revelation until the person making the claim reveals him/herself or themselves. Without that revelation, it could be an NYT writer making things up, which is at least as believable.There is the possibility that this WH opinion piece is the work of more than one person. It may have been a group effort.
Whoever wrote it and however well-meaning he, she or they may have been, my feeling is that no favor was done - for anyone. The President’s alarming behavior described is on full display for everyone to see. If you are someone who can clearly recognize Trump’s psychological conditions, this public revelation that there are efforts within the WH to contain the damage to the Republic is cold comfort in my opinion. And it raises the concern that it will aggravate the situation and cause Trump to become more erratic.
At least she had the integrity to stand up publicly for what she believed in. If this mole exists, he or she is a coward who lacks integrity and honor.She was that county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

it seems weirdly close to a combination of the usual Dem talking points and Woodward’s more fantastic assertions. I think it’s entirely fake. That’s not to say it wasn’t said by some deep stater in the government. Could be.It isn’t a public revelation until the person making the claim reveals him/herself or themselves.

I know that’s the goal here: do everything possible to get Trump to reason, truth and integrity be darned.We had no firm idea who Deep Throat was for decades. Nixon still resigned.
