This bunch sure deceived me. But they exposed their intentions when they tried to necklace Trump as a “racist”, “Hitler”, and then a “fascist”. A Russian born, neocon man Max Boot, was feeding this sewage to the Washington Post from the get go of the 2016 campaign.

Sounds like they plan on disagreeing with Trump no matter what he says.

A guy who says Trump has caused a constitutional crisis (how?) now wants to completely circumvent the constitution. These people are evil.
To: miss marmelstein
Evil and omnipresent.
Look upthread and you will see an unrepentant neocon here.

Funny how no one thought this necessary during the radical Obama years. Interesting. I have felt over the last couple decades that the WSJ has become a swamp denizen.

A team of rivals that transcends party lines, composed of eminent men and women, could rein in the administration. This bipartisan group, preferably endorsed by past U.S. presidents, would be made up of former cabinet members and heads of independent federal agencies. Inspired by the British Shadow Cabinet, it would be structured to mirror the official cabinet and would issue rapid, sharp critiques and cogent alternatives to the administrations most dangerous policies.
Unlikely. Form a group to counter Trump and in a week they'll become known as "those guys again," or "the usual suspects."
The prevailing paradigm is: every talking head dragged out on TV represents a partisan position.
When you see Leon Panetta, you don't think "eminent man" or "distinguished public servant," you think "Democratic party line."
And if "bipartisan" means David Gergen -- well, it's not going to be very persuasive.

Consider this cowboy beclowned also:
Commie is as commie does.
Irving Kristol, unrepentant Trotskyite, canonized the Neoconservative movement. His son is as bad.
They are globalists; they are redistributionists.
Yeah, they are communists.
I refuse any longer to let leftists tell me what words and names I may use: Control the debate by controlling the permitted terminology. (They love to invent euphemisms to hide their evil designs: socialist, progressive, liberal, neoconservative).
Leftists live to infiltrate and subvert, and the Republican Party was infiltrated and subverted after World War II.
I call ‘em all communists.
Death by a thousand small cuts versus death by a dozen big ones is still bloody, violent and premature death by a sharpened object.

This bipartisan group, preferably endorsed by past U.S. presidents...Interesting how this story is a "wouldn't it be nice if", since we KNOW it's already in place and working it's hardest to diminish President Trump. They already have McCain, Graham, and Collins, and Obama's been in on it since before he left office.
