Trump needs to declassify all the docs Congress has been stonewalled from getting. Expose the corruption of the Deep State and possibly even Obama in the SpyGate scandal.

You don't think this is newsworthy or of public interest (or IN the public interest)? Regardless of your political views, it's one of the top stories right now. Do you think the NYT should have sat on the op/ed when it was offered to them? If so, why?

That's your great comeback? Well, when I'm done with my current tax payment plan I'll see how 2018 shakes out. And speaking about taxes, how about our POTUS? Where's his money? His trap is open all the time and I can't see anything in that cavern.

Uh oh. Is the toddler in chief upset?

No, they shouldn't have published extremely inflaming claim from an anonymous author without verifiable sources and sold it as the gospel truth. Meanwhile, everybody on the left laps it up because it's the kind of thing the left wants to hear. That's a play from the Infowars game book!

Meanwhile, there is no smoke billowing out of the White House windows or chairs being thrown through the windows and while I sure as hell wouldn't want Trump for a boss, the Federal Government is still functioning with him at the head and is actually improving in areas.

They know who wrote it. They may have even spoken with other people close to the writer.

Show me where the NYT said the op-ed was the gospel truth or even that it was true? All they said it was the opinion of one person who is a senior member of the white house.

That's what they claim. The NYTimes helped sell the 2nd Iraq war too: https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/23/o...-is-lying.html

... and that's hardly their only "fudge"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ne..._controversies

or over-the-top revelations that never went anywhere:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/u...arry-reid.html

I'm sure I could find dirt all day but suffice to say, there are "trust issues" with NYT that should probably be considered before buying into the entirely unsubstantiated claim that working in the White House these days is a bit like being locked in a cage full of chimps, bananas laced with meth and a pile of giant pink dildos.
