Reagan National Airport serves Washington, DC - it's right across the river, in Virginia, not too far from the Pentagon - and, yesterday, mysteriously, it had a blackout.  It seems that, if you can get access to the "underground equipment," you can turn the lights out.

The cause of the outage was due to an underground equipment failure.

If Reagan National goes down, the only other close-in airports are military airports, so, we can see that, theoretically, the US military can control air travel into and out of Washington, DC.

With shit-for-brains shabbos goy Donnie-boy causing so much disruption America internally and discrediting America internationally, is this "power outage" simply a mechanical failure, or a sign of something more?  After all, the day after this "power outage," the Pentagon postponed Donnie-boy's military parade.

Okay, the Washington airport goes down.

Now, Sputnik reports that twitter is down worldwide, but no "western" media seems to be reporting it.  [Old reports from April, but nothing from August 2018, from "western" media https://duckduckgo.com/?q=twitter+down+worldwide&atb=v116-4_f&ia=web ]

Let's see, if a certain fat orange loudmouth piece-of-shit for whom the military won't put on a parade - let's face it, they priced themselves out of something they didn't want to do - happens to be in Washington, and relies on airplanes and twitter...and....hmm...and can't get out, either by flying or tweeting like a retarded bird...well...hmm...

Not sayin', just supposin'. 

Twitter Users Report Social Media Down Worldwide
https://sputniknews.com/science/201808181067292287-twitter-users-outage-reports/

06:51 18.08.2018(updated 07:23 18.08.2018)

According to the Downdetector.com web service [see below], users in different countries having troubles with posting and refreshing their tweets since 10:41 PM EDT.

The twitter users from Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Britain, Spain, Poland, the US and Japan are reportedly among those affected by the issue of posting tweets from numerous devices.

​The US social media giant has not issued any statement on the alleged technical problem yet. According to another online source "outage.report" [see below], some users having issue only with mobile apps, while others claiming that twitter's website is down. Meanwhile, some US-based social media users noticed that the whole service seemed to be malfunctioning since Friday evening.

In July, the US social media giant announced upcoming sweep of fake or inactive accounts, warning that most users would see four or fewer followers go. Twitter reportedly promised, however, that the change would not affect user metrics, which businesses and individuals use to measure the success rate of their social network polic or application's functioning.

I was supposin', but not sayin', that there might be some sort of coup, or something.  I mean, the signs were all there: rehearsal to close the getaway airport, and rehearsal to keep the retarded orange squawking bastard from "tweeting."

Might have been right.  "Coup" word being thrown around Washington like never before.


'Trump will go nuclear': Pundits respond to anonymous 'coup' published by NYT
https://www.rt.com/usa/437808-trump-nyt-oped-responses/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Pundits are lining up to weigh in on a salacious New York Times op-ed allegedly penned by an anonymous #Resister in the Trump administration, with some experts on television calling the piece an all-out coup against the president.

The opinion piece in question, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration," has spawned a level of frenetic punditry not seen since George W. Bush was spotted sneaking Michelle Obama a cough drop. Only this time the stakes are allegedly much higher.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace said on Wednesday the stunning claims made in the anonymous op-ed – for example, that there is a group of "adults" in the White House who believe Trump is unfit to hold office and are trying to shape policy behind the president's back – are akin to "a coup."

"In other countries... they sometimes call this a coup," Wallace said on MSNBC's Deadline: White House, referring to the article's assertion that there is a "resistance" made up of administration officials which aims to protect the republic from Trump's "amorality."

Another MSNBC talking head, Howard Fineman, said that he was troubled by the fact that the op-ed appears to describe how "unelected aides have staged a slo-mo coup." Impeachment – not "frenzy, mutiny and rumors" – is the antidote to Trump's criminal unfitness for public service, he added.

But others were even less impressed by the anonymous scoop-provider. Fox News host Sean Hannity called the author of the op-ed a "swamp sewer creature who can't stand that there is a new sheriff in town."

Speaking with Hannity on his program, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that the anonymous author had "repudiated our whole constitutional process."

"When you think about it it's an amazing statement of their willingness to make themselves bigger than the entire American system," Gingrich said.

Dana Perino, the former White House press secretary under George W. Bush, called the mysterious author of the op-ed "extremely self-indulgent."

"You should not be lapping up the benefits of being a senior administration official, no doubt while scouting for lucrative opportunities for when you leave your post," she said.

"If you are this person, you really should resign tonight."

Almost all of the nation's sharpest political minds were in agreement on one point, however: This mystery senior government official should reveal him/herself, in order to save America from fascism, or hokey #Resistance claptrap, depending on whom you ask.

The op-ed "just made things worse," conservative commentator and National Review senior fellow David French said. "Anonymous leaking won't take down Trump. A person of honor speaking openly would have far more impact."

"The thing about the op-ed is that reading its text, you can think the writer is 'principled,' as the NYT did. But in context, the author is a coward confessing to a coup and daring Trump to get worse," veteran journalist Dan Froomkin said. He added that he thought it was wrong of the Times not to identify the piece's author.

Much has also been discussed about Trump's reaction to the article.

"Trump will go nuclear, Trump will go nuclear, making the efforts of this 'internal resistance' far harder," predicted Washington Post contributor Carlos Lozada‏. "What is the point of a secret cabal if you don't keep it secret?"

Not everyone is calling for the anonymous author to come forward, however: At least one pundit claims to already know who penned the troubling opinion piece.

"We all know Putin wrote the op-ed and the NYT claimed it's a senior Trump official because they think that's true," Ben Shapiro tweeted.
