Anonymous Op-Ed by "Senior Official in the Trump Administration"

[Jeril]

You're asking a philosophical question that won't ever be answered but has value in it's contemplation. Those politicians put the needs of the country first. Maybe it made them feel smug or maybe they just like being outliers but they did it and that's worth something. We need more politicians like that.

If I told you I was going to bake the best cake in the world for you and I came back with a shit sandwich, would you eat it and tell me how wonderful of a job I did?

Or it could be a hoax perpetrated on the gullible NYT by a college student. According to one theory

So much for that highly rated NYT credibility and respect.

I don't think the NYT has been duped or that the whole letter was made up. As I said before if the letter isn't real, the reputation of the NYT would go down the toilet forever. I doubt many liberals would rush to defend the NYT in such an event. I do have some moderate skepticism as to how senior the author is, but I could be wrong.

The issue IMHO is not whether the letter is real, but whether the letter paints an accurate picture.

I'd wager they did their due diligence to determine the authenticity of the author. To think otherwise is foolish.

Ya, why not. One fake op-ed doesnt pay the bills. Why the hell would they risk the whole paper for it. But...conspiracy theorists need theories.

What? It's not like I made the sandwich on purpose. I'm just that horrible of a cook! But I did try really hard!

To be honest there's not much left to lose in the newspaper business these days.
