The Atlantic Monthly’s Jeff Goldberg says in this inverview that there is no “deep state” per se, in the US, but that there is a natural “immune response” by the body of government when that body discovers that something antagonistic has taken up residence in it.
Or something like that. I think that is a good analogy.
Contrary to the funny SNL skit of a Press Secretary, I’m immensely surprised by the Republicans who President Obama retained and appointed. They are proving him right to trust them to put country above party.
The resignation of South Korean president Park Geun-hye should be disconcerting to the Trump regime. 1% of the population was fed up with the corruption, even if this very imperfect child of a political dynasty may have been more guilty of omission and blind-eyeing and power abuses than taking quid pro quo favors, there was adamant insistence from a segment of the population that she had to go. Had to. My sense is that the corruption of Trump and those around him probably will sit ok with many, but it just sticks in too many craws so the effort to push him from office will never relent. We already lock up or parole 6 million people, so doubling that amount is probably not possible in both the physical and political sense. Most people, therefore, will accept Spicer’s splainin’ but it just doesn’t work on others. And those people, increasingly, will continue to point out that Trump is unfit to govern and must go. It’s not even about party or ideology, but incompentence and the lack of qualifications to hold fiduciary responsibilities.
Deep State is real, and it’s extremely powerful. How else do you explain their ability to take over Donald Trump’s mind and force him to tweet really stupid shit in the middle of the night?
WTholyF is WRONG with these people? INFO WARS comes to the White House. The paranoid BS coming out of there is ‘nuts’. That’s a clinical term. It’s time for an intervention.
The “hinters” have been very busy since Thursday implying that the CIA somehow created the Russian fingerprints in the acts of interference with the election. Hannity and Coulter tweets cited.
Good times.
“Such is the case with a new conspiracy theory making the rounds among conservative talkers. It’s the idea that the CIA has made it appear as though the 2016 election hacking was conducted by Russians even though it wasn’t — or even that the CIA hacked the Democrats itself.”
Yes, the government is full of incompetent boobs who can’t even deliver the mail on time AND is a finely tuned machine capable of diabolical framing and undermining. Idiot/Geniuses, all of them.
