Putting morality and ethics completely aside, the most effective way to do this is NOT TO TELL ANYONE YOU’RE DOING THIS.https://twitter.com/normative/status/1037432291038048257 …

At the same time — how complicit are the reporters who hear senior administration officials say this everyday and grant them anonymity to do so? I have mixed feelings about this one but I think it’s a legitimate question.

I think, 22 months into
@realDonaldTrump’s presidency, we’ve finally found the line between disrespecting the President and disrespecting the institution of the presidency.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Imagine if this same official had walked into the Oval today, asked POTUS to resign, then resigned, then announced publicly his or her resignation and explained why.

Not finding much sympathy for the anonymous evasive resistance hero among even those elites who are most fearful about President Trump.

4. What we now have is a two-tier government: Trump tweeting and ranting & his staff executing separate policy. This undermines democratic legitimacy & ability of other countries to trust USA as much as actually executing Trump's policies would.

3. The virtue of 25th amendment solution is that it keeps everything in the open: unfit president is evaluated, cabinet & congress take responsibility. Everyone can be judged by their public actions. That's vastly superior to a secret coup.

Truthfully, it's no comfort at all, because it relies on a pact among senior staff to cover the President's amorality - and possible incapacity - and govern by default while keeping the reality from reaching the American people. This is a nightmare.https://twitter.com/HelenKennedy/status/1037434465734283266 …

On the one hand, it made my day to be validated by
@SecDef19. On the other hand, it’s legitimately terrifying how our nuclear launch procedures work.pic.twitter.com/paU7K0ev8d

New satellite images show continuing modernization of second SS-27 Mod 2 (RS-24, Yars) ICBM regiment at Kozelsk in western Russia. https://fas.org/blogs/security/2018/09/kozelsk-icbm-upgrade/ … Remember: this is a modernization, not a *buildup*.pic.twitter.com/g90Tf2zKhp

Has a single person who has worked in the administration at a senior level called for the President to step down? To his face, or otherwise? If the crisis is at the level we assume/read about, why the hell not?

"If you order your SecDef to kill someone in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack, and he ignores your order, do you think he has acted illegally or outside the chain of command? Or is he disregarding an illegal order?"

Even this: "Do you think it was appropriate for President Trump's senior staff to openly or covertly work to undermine his authority? Was the level of civic emergency sufficient to justify quasi/para/illegal or unethical action by political appointees?"
