So, anyone read anything interesting the Times recently?

A lot has already been said about the op-ed written by an anonymous Trump administration member.  I want to add just one thing.

Presumably this person is a reasonably well placed within the Administration and Republican political circles.  This is not a Trump Creature.  (My money is on Mick Mulvaney.)  This is someone whose primary loyalty is to the Republican Party not Donald Trump.

It is therefore reasonable to believe that the "knowledge" expressed in that op-ed is well known among Republicans in Washington.  Several people have pointed out that it is wrong to call these allegations a "bombshell."  For Trump critics, none of this is new.  It confirms everything that those of us who aren't loyal to the Republican Party have been saying since he came down the Golden Escalator.

What this op-ed does make clear is that everything Filthy Bloggers have been saying is well known to the Republican Establishment.  Trump is mentally and psychologically unfit to be President.

And they don't care.

What's more, they are actively abetting Trump's continued reign as President.  They could easily remove Trump from office under  the 25th Amendment.  The author admits that they've discussed this.  However, they have demonstrated that they are fine imperiling the Republic in pursuit of tax cuts and deregulation.

Trump will leave office sooner or later. The complicity of the Republican Party - and that includes St. McCain - must remain part of the collective memory of the nation.
