An inside look at the disarray in the WH (and it seems to be genuine):

You'd have to be pretty delusional to think there's panic and discord going on over at the White House. They're wielding more power than they ever imagined.

"Powerball winner panics over how to manage so much money!" is pretty much where the GOP is at right now.

we know trump's an idiot, we know he's unbalanced. On this we should all agree. So why wouldn't it be an accurate description of what might be going on in there? It' s got to be complete chaos.

That is not its intent. Its intent is to lull people into thinking they know what is going on or, alternatively, setting up story angles that reporters and others might use that they will later exploit to their own ends; they frame the narrative. Ultimately, it's useless and distracting.

Some of it is quite overwrought and parody-esque as well. I have no problem thinking they are behind it.

Done here.

Their conservative runs from well to the left of Jon Huntsman to Theresa May; their batshit goes to UKIP and Nigel Farage.

want him to destroy all life as we know it.

If our only choice is Pence, who would end America as we know it, permanently, it would be better than ending the world.

Impeachment or make Trump's life so miserable by attacking his fragile ego to the point where he cant take it anymore. Whatever you would do to a 9 yr old to make them shrug their arms and shoulders in frustration and make them angrily stomp off to their room, do to Trump.

I'd be very leary about this. There is no way anyone could put out that much info and not be detected. It looks like a way to establish trust, so they can put out false info and gain the confidence for whatever reason. Stinks to high heavens...
