So... About that "deep state" I kept hearing about for the past 30 years... Think maybe now it's probably the time, if there ever was one, to do something to preserve the world order.
Turns out the "deep state" are a bunch of rich people who don't want to pay taxes. Oops.
The deep state was always meant to mean the FBI, FDA, EPA, and other agencies that while not always forces for good are forces of career bureaucrats that keep the United States a functioning nation.
Didn't the deep state already green light an attempted assassination on Trump?
It's crazy that all these things I thought were laws my whole life turn out to just be "norms" that can be totally ignored
So, Cheeto is relying on private investigators...run by the Russian FSB. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, the Deep State is going to filled with neo-Nazis, religious nutters and Russian agents.
Tulsi Gabbard as the head of intelligence means the US intelligence community will have a blind spot in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East. Plus many field agents are going to die. It’s going to be massive set back for Ukraine. And she’s probably going to relay everything to dictators like Putin and Assad. Mahalo Tulsi /s. And fuck your sPiRIt of alOHa
Talking about US funded biolabs, that are already public knowledge, is hardly evidence of being a Russian spy.
Saying solutions in Syria need to involve Assad is common sense, not heretical.
to his supporters, this just looks like someone who gets things done. and they probably don't trust the FBI
Well duh. That's what's a convicted felon would want to do if they got into power.
Another “norm” that we thought was a requirement. The shittiest Civics class.
I assume if they’re investigating or vetting anything it’s: will they be loyal to Trump? Anything good to hang on to as blackmail or extortion material?
It turns out that the erosion of rights will be done for fun during the real task of butchering the federal infrastructure and agenci6snd selling them to the highest bidding friend
Given that last time they weren't even real proper investigations, they were directed by the White House and didn't actually look into things (in spite of Trump saying otherwise repeatedly), this is really only saving unnecessary spending.
Well, the FBI agents are still getting paid and they are paying private investigators so I'm pretty sure these fake investigations are costing even more than the other fake investigations did.
Of course je did. How else is he going to appoint criminals and people with conflicts of interest ?
Well call this process "efficient" and say that Musk came up with it in his big brain
