You under played this. When you have a
Rolling Stone editor confirming the ongoing coup attempts & the workings of the Deep State, hard to not consider it true.
"My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that
the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump.(THINK ABOUT THAT A BIT.) 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.
The Trump presidency is the first to reveal a full-blown schism between the intelligence community and the White House. Senior figures in the CIA, NSA, FBI and other agencies made an open break from their would-be boss before Trump’s inauguration, commencing a public war of leaks that has not stopped."
How much more do you need to believe these people believe they are the government, not elected officials? Only htose that go along with their power grabs are protected from them.
"The agencies’ new trick is inserting themselves into domestic politics using leaks and media pressure."
"The sidelined “intel chiefs” are once again playing central roles in making the public case. Comey says “
we may now be at a point” where impeachment is necessary. Brennan, with unintentional irony, says the United States is “
no longer a democracy.” Clapper says the Ukraine whistleblower complaint is “
one of the most credible” he’s seen."
"As a reporter covering the 2015–2016 presidential race, I thought Trump’s campaign was disturbing on many levels, but logical as a news story. He succeeded for class reasons, because of flaws in the media business that gifted him mass amounts of coverage, and because he took cunning advantage of long-simmering frustrations in the electorate. He also clearly catered to racist fears, and to the collapse in trust in institutions like the news media, the Fed, corporations, NATO, and, yes, the intelligence services. In enormous numbers, voters rejected everything they had ever been told about who was and was not qualified for higher office."
"
And while Donald Trump conducting foreign policy based on what he sees on
Fox and Friends is troubling,
it’s not in the same ballpark as CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times engaging in de facto coverage partnerships with the FBI and CIA to push highly politicized, phony narratives like Russiagate."
"I don’t believe most Americans have thought through what
a successful campaign to oust Donald Trump would look like. Most casual news consumers can only think of it in terms of Mike Pence becoming president.
The real problem would be the precedent of a de facto intelligence community veto over elections, using the lunatic spookworld brand of politics that has dominated the last three years of anti-Trump agitation."
And Libs wonder why the rest of us fear the Deep State.
