I think QAnon would like to hear this theory!

Still wish all in government would resist Drumpf.

(42,770 posts)George Conway seems to think so.
Sure, it's not as exciting as a big name player, but any bad news on trump can be good if we embrace and don't say it's a nothing burger like trump will say? Just my take.

Donald Trump is a man without character. Its why I wrote A Warning...and its why me & my colleagues have spoken out against him (in our own names) for months. Its time for everyone to step out of the shadows. My statement:

(26,659 posts)He's been in a position to witness things that the rest of us can only imagine.
I've learned quite a few details from him that I definitely wouldn't have known otherwise, including some really terrifying things.
I've found him to be well worth listening to.

(47,625 posts)WASHINGTON Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, was the anonymous author of The New York Times Op-Ed article in 2018 whose description of President Trump as impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective roiled Washington and set off a hunt for his identity, Mr. Taylor confirmed Wednesday.
Mr. Taylor was also the anonymous author of A Warning, a book he wrote the following year that described the president as an undisciplined and amoral leader whose abuse of power threatened the foundations of American democracy. He acknowledged that he was the author of both the book and the opinion article in an interview and in a three-page statement he intended to post online.
Mr. Taylor resigned from the Department of Homeland Security in June 2019, and went public with his criticism of Mr. Trump this past summer. He released a video just before the start of the Republican National Convention declaring that the president was unfit for office and endorsed Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee.

(20,014 posts)He's been on CNN some since quitting and seems pretty competent.
How much damage did he do when he was there?
Crunchy Frog
(26,659 posts)There was at least one streaming conference they did where he went into some really hair raising details about things that he'd witnessed.
He strikes me as an upstanding guy.

(42,770 posts)He was tremendously articulate and 100% believable and responsible.
Amazing how Cuomo reads the tea leaves of progressive viewpoints and reacts vs. thinking what is right vs. wrong from his heart.

(14,858 posts)... and the stuff he shared about Trump managed to shock me somewhat. (Or maybe it was a podcast?)
Trump wanted cost estimates to put a channel of water along the length of a wall across the Mexican border, and to fill it with alligators and snakes!
It instantly reminded me of an old Pink Panther cartoon, with a large shark living in the moat around a castle. Maybe Trump saw that years ago too, but HE thought that sort of thing really happened?
