Glad the Rogue POTUS Staff is still here. These were from today




This from 3 hours ago:




And these from 5 hours ago:

I'm still not sure that these are actual staff, but if not, it sure sounds plausible enough to come from someone very close to someone who is.

Never anything that hasn't already been leaked. Just some yahoo getting his kicks. I can't decide if this person is a Dem or a puke though. Guess it doesn't really matter.

It could be a Dem who wants attention/accolades, or it could be a rep who wants to highlight how gullible some can be.

You're right, though... it hardly matters.

it's a dem or rep who hates DT.

I agree, I don't think it's staff. I haven't read anything on there that hasn't already been made public. It's just a general mocking of DT.

(I do follow them on twitter though!)

I mean, being skeptical about things that make Trump look bad ain't going to win you any points around here. this looks like satire, or maybe anti-Ttump disinformation. Which of course I heartily welcome

But I would suggest looking at the time stamps when these tweets get posted. There's no way a mole inside the Trump Administration would post this stuff during office hours

Had to do with some phrasing and spelling that pointed towards someone who spoke a Cyrillic language. During the debate the RoguePOTUS people then got into a flame war with the original poster. I don't trust the account at all.

native speaker of English. But someone else then pointed out the fact that it is precisely the phrasing used by mental health professionals, so it isn't evidence that RPS is not a true English speaker.

he is not reading the national security briefings, day to day top details of every government office...not even bother to look at them or have someone to read it to him, it looks like he is collecting printing pages of news talking about him, the oval office is not for him to trash him....

As you know, there are DOZENS of rogue @Alt_gov Twitter accounts. While groups of them cross-post each other to contribute their particular interpretation of the latest "news", there are others posting their views or adding to stories that have no apparent connection to the others, yet post similar info, albeit from a different hiding place!

So my logic is that they are either all real or all fake. I choose to believe in them.

The Twitter feeds below are the relief from the daily chaos and destruction of our democracy. Some of them are absolutely side-splitting hilarious. Here are a few I visit every single day:

@alt_interior (almost went dark and nearly lost his gov day job to boot)
@alt_labor (close friend of @alt_interior and almost as hysterical)
@altWHkitchen. (this is like your mom in the whitehouse kitchen with a comic twist)
@AltWhitehouseIT (for cynical but hysterical fun about Trump's Luddite computer skills)
@ALT_USCIS ( Dept of Immigration -a little snarky, but fun just the same)

A few other standouts for good info and links to information no longer on the official gov websites:

@Alt_FEMA
@altNOAA
@RogueNASA
@AltStateDpt
@AltHomelandSec

There are lots of others. And of course, RoguePOTUSStaff. All of them inspire me to keep fighting the good fight a little bit harder...for them and for all of us.

Adding this link from addictinginfo.org about the hilarity of @Alt_interior:

≥≥Flynn sanctions talk is being treated as fortunate smokescreen. Nothing will come of it, but it will keep attention away from hotter issues.
