Originally posted by rogue06 View PostObama sure disagreed when it came to leakers in his Administration -- ordering wide spread polygraphs and criminally prosecuting those who were caught.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI noticed over the weekend that even liberal pundits were questioning just how high up this "senior" official was. Even George Stephanopoulos seemed to mock it, sneering at how "elastic" the term senior was. Bob Woodward, who relies heavily on anonymous sources himself questioned whether the source was senior one as well and chided the New York Times for publishing it without providing any sort of substantiation that he was who he was indeed a senior official. And David Brooks who is a columnist for the New York Times called it "a stupid act."
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostBut what almost everyone seems to have overlooked is that this little stunt has confirmed to many who had doubts that there really is a "Deep State" who says let the election be damned and are determined to thwart the will of the voters from inside the White House.
One thing strikes me. Eventually, Trump will be out of office and the identify of this person will probably become known. It may happen before then. If the person is actually a high-ranking, Republican, White House staff member, it will reflect well on the NYT and all of the pundits making their comments about "low-level staffer" will have some amount of egg on their faces. On the other hand, if it IS a low-level staffer, the reputation of the NYT will be pretty much destroyed, at least for this boy, and the pundits will be vindicated.
So now we wait....The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I suspect the author's identity will never be known mostly because this cowardly hit-piece will be forgotten about in the next couple of weeks.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAn appropriate reaction to an automatic knee-jerk response that if you look at it wasn't even close to what you would call it.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostI'm guessing you don't have anything more specific to back up your assertion, or you'd use it.
Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostCow Poke's anectodal observation is true of me as well. I'm sure that won't stop you from continuing to tell us what we think, though.
I still don't see what the fuss is about. You two seem to have taken personally a comment that was about an entire group of people and the tendencies within that group. I think you may be adding things to my post that I did not put there.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
