Even though Taibbi is a lunatic leftist this article has some of the most cogent highlights I’ve seen anyone write
I could have written some of it as could many people here too
Trump is the only person with legitimacy any more.
I just put on a Haz-Mat suit and went over to the DUmmy website. Those people are delusional over there. They believe the coup criminals and media enablers. They believe that Trump is the most criminal person to ever walk the face of the earth and that Obastard and the she-devil Hillary are pure as the driven snow and are patriots who love this country. After reading their stupidity, I am convinced that we are an irreparably divided country headed toward a hot CW. Those people have zero discernment.
All my life I have watched as all the compromises have only been on the Republican side and all that ever changed each election was the speed in which America approached socialism. We finally have a President pushing towards genuine liberty and the left has only increased it's resistance with each victory. This point of the standoff was inevitable, the only question remaining is if America has become too corrupted to complete the turn or not.

“the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.”
Well put.
He missed the Leftist coup to get Nixon out of office. That was the true turning point in the American political system.
There can be no co existence
The problem is not in Dealing in DC
The problem becomes how to deal with radical neighbors and relatives that must be eliminated.
That is not to say that the current POTUS has given, or would give, such an order.
As far as I know there are only three ways to become an ex-POTUS. Do your tour (4 or 8 years) and get out, impeachment, or death.
The left doesn't want another 4 years of the current POTUS, they would not mind seeing him die, in any fashion, but do NOT want it leading back to ANYONE in their camp. So what is left but impeachment?
Does the left really think they can get the current POTUS impeached? Probably not but they are willing to take the chance to keep the current POTUS out of another 4 years.
It is a very dark time in America. The increasingly radicalized Democratic Party is a threat to liberty. They have openly embraced socialism. I don’t see much of a way out other than a revolution. We may have to go through decades or centuries of hell because Americans are falling for the siren song of “free” stuff and government care.
The scary part is it will get worse as millions of socialist-loving people pour into the country and begin voting.
Even those of us who strongly support Trump probably at times wonder "what the hell has happened here?". The entire story of the Deep State trying to drag down Trump is so obvious, so well documented that it seems impossible that most people are not outraged about it. But the left are shameless. Taibbi, though he is a leftist is still a journalist first, and has noticed what's been happening, and is outragted. So, finally some confirmation for the question I keep asking myself:
Shouldn't everyone be outraged by this like I am?
Why aren't they?
When did the Left utterly collapse and become shills for the CIA?
Like many others here, I remember when the Left hated the CIA and took them with a very heavy (and healthy) does of skepticism. Events like the overthrow of the Shaw, MK-Ultra, the findings of the Church commission, would be thrown at anyone suggesting the CIA was a useful organization for the country.
Taibbi has not forgotten those events, nor has he lost his intrinsic fairness compass. By simply asking "what if this had been done to Obama" he is able to show the utter hypocrisy and tribalism of the vast majority of mainstream "journalists".
I would also highly recommend sending this article to any liberal friends who subscribe to Rolling Stone. Taibbi has been one of their most featured writers for almost a decade now, yet this piece, and several others are published on his blog. I suspect his deviance from the Leftist consensus has just become to great for his editors to continue publishing, so he's taken to self-publishing. Ask them: Do you know who Matt Taibbi is? Do you like his writing? Then hit them with: HERE, READ THIS!
One other article on the site is also excellent: his full-throated denuniciation of the Mueller probe, at its conclusion is here:
Russiagate was journalist QAnon (Part 1)
By the way there is no mention of QAnon at all in this article. It is only used in the title as a shorthand for: "being taken in by a huge baseless conspiracy theory". (Which I am well aware many believe is an incorrect view of Q)
Regardless it is one of the hardest takedowns of the media and their embrace of Muh Russia I have read from any source, Leftist, supposed Centrist, or Right Wing. 
Hi.
Interesting coming from Taibbi.
Methinks half of the sentient democrats get this, and wouldn’t want 0bama to go through it.
Although...

Except for three Trump-bashing paragraphs this could have been written by an ardent Trump defender.
Which is a sign of just how dangerous the Spook driven coup attempt has gotten, when a liberal Trump basher like Matt Taibbi writes a powerful anti-coup essay like this.
Everyone should ignore the unwritten Freeper commandment and actually click on the link and read this important essay.
Even a liberal whack job writing for freaking Rolling Stone— understands that allowing the “intel community” to rule in a cabal of elite unelected “club” of data horde spooks over the citizens-— is exactly like East Germany’s “democratic republic”, communist dictatorship. The Stasi was nearly every 6th person... all on their payroll, as was the entire “media” so called.
Hopefully someone on the dem’s side is listening— they’d better. We are coming for them in a very different sense, if they do not stop lying. We, the People. We happy few.
