asking that question is asking if the sky didn't exist. it just does.
Well, we know the sky exists based on empirical observation. The proof for the Deep State is rather... non-existant. I've asked for proof repeatedly, and the Trumpers come up 100% empty.
how can you even say they dont exist :/
There are government institutions in power which are not elected period. They are real. You may want to debate their actual influence or extent of power but not their existence.
you choose not to see. The various machinations by Comey/Brennan and Clapper should clue you in.
Then there was the rule changes by Obama on sharing INTEl, and getting raw intel ginned up into reports.
Unmasking requests at record pace by Susan Powers who really has no need to know
All of which I have written over and over ( others too) but your partisan mind rejects it before it absorbs it
The #1 Deep State hitter in this thread just said that lobbyists and bureaucrats are the Deep State. Which is a definition so nebulous and inane as to nullify the existence of a Deep State.
You never once, not one single time, in your entire life prior to about 12 months ago, started a thread about Deep State, let alone even used the word.
You know when you started using the words "Deep State"? That's right....right when it became imperative to defend your hero Trump, to create the aura of some nebulous entitny that was keeping your hero from achieving the greatness he deserved.
So for my money, "Deep State" is not something that actually exists....it is a figment, a manifestation of your love, worship, and devotion to Donald J. Drumpf. A man you will spend most waking hours of your life defending with every fiber of your being.

And every time you address it, you ignore the fact that this was the first time that a candidate had deep ties to Russia.you choose not to see. The various machinations by Comey/Brennan and Clapper should clue you in.

Comey leaked info about a new Clinton investigation, days before the election.I use "Deep State" all the time.
it refers to the conjunction of IC leadership coordinating with either the press or elected officials
( in Trump's case both) to manipulate policy thru selected leakage.
There are also Deep State moves - like Comey's leaking to get a Special Council appointed.
He leaked -or caused to leak- classified info in doing so. That's a commonality of deep state deception.
Selective classified leakage.
Or referrals to classified documents you can never see and Congress doesn't really bother with oversight.
Still they are used by those who have access
The entire Russia-phobia fiasco is Deep State designed to ensure there is no chance at rapprochement with Russia
And every time you address it, you ignore the fact that this was the first time that a candidate had deep ties to Russia.
Correction...Republicans in Congress have ordered this. More specifically....Nunes, who has been proven to be in collusion with trump, has ordered this.Well spoken, comrade.
The unelected and unaccountable agencies with their armies of bureaucrats *are* the Deep State. It's not a conspiracy theory.
They're accountable to congress in theory, but in practice, not so much. So the DS essentially operates as a separate government.
For example, as we speak, congress has demanded the FBI hand over all documents related to the Fake News Piss Dossier. The initial request was made weeks if not months ago, but the FBI has refused to comply even under threat of subpoena.
If that isn't a DS machination, maybe Amadeus has a better term for it.
If congress can't control the FBI, who can? Maybe Amadeus can try ignoring a subpoena and see what happens to him lol. Or try lying under oath like Clapper did and see what happens. These agencies fly above the law when it suits their purposes.
Russia does not own Clinton. They do own trump, and many past/present members of his klan.You're aware that the Clinton foundation has Russian ties, right?
Comey leaked info about a new Clinton investigation, days before the election.
If he's such a boogey man against trump, why didn't he inform Congress that he had been investigating trump for ties to Russia, for months at that point?
