Later, the executive added: “I wanted to tell Jared you don’t say that part out loud, even in private.”

Yes, or at least early on:
1. Trashing our NATO allies
2. Helsinki, where he genuflected to Putin
3. Pulling us out of the Paris Accords
4. His abusive phone calls to Merkel and Theresa May
5. The way he comported himself at the G7, G20, United Nations and NATO meetings
6. Absurd threats to impose tariffs on our closest allies (UK, France, Canada, Japan, South Korea and others) on everything from wine to steel, or force them to pay fines to cover the cost of our troops being stationed there.
(and many more humiliations)
The world has been onto him for a long time.
New article names doctor in ICE/hysterectomy scandal (NBC via Yahoo News)
Lawyers allege abuse of migrant women by gynecologist for Georgia ICE detention centerNBC News
Julia Ainsley and Jacob Soboroff and Daniella Silva
NBC News•September 15, 2020
The doctor, who three lawyers identified as Dr. Mahendra Amin, practicing in Douglas, Georgia, has continued to see women from the Irwin County Detention Center for the past several years despite complaints from his patients.
Amin was the subject of a Justice Department investigation in 2015 for making false claims to Medicaid and Medicare. As a result, he and other doctors involved paid $525,000 in a civil settlement, according to the Justice Department.
The lawyers identified the doctor after a whistleblower complaint to the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security was filed by Dawn Wooten, who worked as a nurse inside the facility. She said in there complaint that detainees were not getting COVID-19 tests and other needed medical care.
Wooten worked full time as a licensed practical nurse at the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia, until being demoted in July.

This story is so disturbing...
For what it's worth: Found this article that gave me (some) pause about Brian Murphy
Miles Taylor takes issue with some of Murphy's claims.
The Latest Trump Whistle-Blower Merits Some Skepticism
A former administration official who has since endorsed Joe Biden has a few questions about the allegations.

Murphy also says that he was pressured to produce intelligence analysis of riots this summer to cohere with Trump’s view that the violence was organized by antifa radicals. “Mr. Murphy declined to modify any of the intelligence assessments based upon political rhetoric,” his complaint says.
Maybe so — but Murphy appears to have come to this conclusion on his own. Ben Wittes, the editor of Lawfare, posted a July 25 memo from Murphy directing his subordinates to stop calling violence in Portland “opportunistic,” suggesting the riots and arson in that city were simply the result of crowds getting out of hand. He instead said there was overwhelming intelligence that the violence in Portland was at least inspired by antifa/anarchist ideology.
IMO, there might be more to this than meets the eye.
This might ease your mind a little bit

Hawkfish (Bloomberg's data analytics and advertising firm) is working for the DNC and American Bridge PAC. He's helping in Texas too. It's so easy to find this information.
A quote from the documentary #Unfit
"Once you get on board psychologically, once you commit to a demagogueish ideologue, that puts up a fact-proof screen between you and the world." - Sheldon Solomon, social psychologist
The movie is really interesting, and frightening. He has a long, detailed explanation, but that is the gist of his explanation. Frightened people fall in line between authoritarians who use key words and techniques to make them feel threatened, even if the threats don't exist. Humans revert to tribal behavior.

This is scary, and it's been on my mind too.
When Hitler concluded the war was lost, he issued something called the Nero Decree, to basically destroy Germany's infrastructure and render its industries useless. It was defied, but the leader believed, "If I'm going down, Germany is coming down with me." He believed Germans didn't deserve to exist, because "they" had failed him.
Yes. All of it.
In fact, we were discussing the possibility this virus was airborne long before it was established in the US media, because studies out of China (and then Italy) indicated as much. In Wuhan, as others have pointed out, they sprayed disinfectant into the air.
Four months before our media routinely explained to us that COVID-19 was airborne, there was this study (March 9) that a few outlets covered, stating that the novel coronavirus could survive in air for (at least) three hours.

Yes.
I'm tired of this fantasy that if only so-and-so stepped up, we wouldn't be in this or that mess.
DOZENS of people have come forward, starting with Christine Blasey Ford, Michael Avenatti (a con man), Robert Mueller and Michael Cohen, Don McGahn, Allen Weisenberg, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, and going through all the rest, the dozens, from Fiona Hill to Colonel Vindman. They were always going to save us. Bolton couldn't save us. Cohen couldn't save us. Mattis, Kelly and Tillerson couldn't save us. Omarosa couldn't save us. Oh, but if only Gary Cohn had stepped forward--it would be different this time.
And there was the fury at Mueller when his testimony didn't save us.
Over and over again. It's a load of rubbish.
And we saw with our own eyes yesterday what would have happened if Woodward had come forward in February. We saw it with our own eyes. He did what psychopaths always do. And it would be all be forgotten by today.
The idea Woodward could have saved us is another fantasy that has twisted a story about Trump's incompetence and psychopathology into a story about a journalist being the enemy.
In a twisted way, he did the exact same thing with COVID that he did with your other
examples.
He used it to divide us, set one third of us against the other two thirds. In most of your examples he said something existed that didn't exist in order to enrage people. With COVID, he said something didn't exist that actually does exist, to enrage people.
"Good panic" is a good way to put it, because it is panic that creates division, and he believes he's more popular when his supporters are angry.
