I still can't understand what the big fuss about the op-ed is all about?

[Le Gaucher]

Here is the summary of the Op-ed.

"Trump is crazy. Bat shit crazy. And we are making sure to deal with it"

Why is that a big deal? .. when everyone.. and I mean EVERYONE .. already knows this. And I sure would hope that someone is nannying Trump.

And to me the op-ed might as well be written by Capt. Obvious. What am I missing?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

1. It says there are unelected people in the administration working against the president as they see

fit. That's a problem.

[Le Gaucher]

2. I expect a moderating force ..and even if it secret , given that Trump has zero capability to

Entertain a contrarian view point alongside his own ( which changes from one moment to the next). He is MENTAL.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. If he is mentally incompetent, he should be removed from office, not protected and propped up by

people who were not elected. That's a coup. The writer is trying to have it both ways on several issues.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. Seeing this op-ed as a voice from a "moderating force" simply moves the window on things like

separating and detaining families along the border and taking citizenship away from people. "It's bad, but think of how much worse it would be without these people working against him! Whew!"

6. The unelected people in the WH

have appointed themselves to decide what the president sees on his desk, what he signs, and who has access to him. We do not know what their motivations are, what interests they represent and who might be influencing them. Just because they tell us they are the “adults in the room” doesn’t make me rest easy on any level. The American people are hostages on a train that has left the rails.

11. They weren't elected. They know trump is unfit. Their Constitutional duty is to begin 25th..

Amendment proceedings to get trump's ass out.

It's not their Constitutional duty to work around an incompetent president and make presidential decisions to prop up his administration and keep it running.

It's that simple.

[Le Gaucher]

12. I disagree .25th is the responsibility of the Congress. Their job is to inform the congress and the

Public.

[brush]

13. And by informing Congress they are thereby the initiators of 25th Amendment proceedings

I thought you said you didn't understand the big deal about the op-ed?

You apparently do now so why play with words about it. They should get the ball rolling to get rid of an unfit president.

[CentralMass]

7. Is this a setup?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. There's a lot of things it could be, none of them good.

[FM123]

4. The thing is that we can see all trumpy's crazy thinking, lack of conscience, incompetence

but these guys are hiding in the shadows and we don't know anything about them and they are asking us to take their word that they know what they are doing and they have our best interests at heart.

9. I'm suspicious about the whole thing. The op-ed

Allows dump to say the media is yet again using anonymous sources = fake news! Deep state is scared! Unite to defend me!

Provides the russiapublicans with a little bit of cover = hey, we were keeping him in check while passing these amazing policies including the uber-wonderful tax cuts and we prevented WW3!!

Provides all the russiapublicans with an opening to defend Dump and "justify" (turn up) their new found love for him.

And finally.....WHY NOW??

[Dirty Socialist]

10. It's the New York Times trying to keep up with the Washington Post

Woodward got a scoop, so The NYT is trying to catch up.
I like the Post better.
