    It's utterly wild how no pundits or politicians have talked about purging the security state. It's clearly FAR past time, and I have no idea what is holding ALL of them back (many of them, yes, we know they like it as it is).

      The solution to like 50% of our domestic problems could be solved by gutting the police state and the alphabets. The other 50% could be solved with moving that money into the right places.

      Bonus is that doing the first half necessitates the second half and also forces empire to pull back abroad

      Because the national security state has been collaborating with the media for like four years to get Trump removed from office.

      Talk about coup attempts, start with John Brennan, James Clapper, Christopher Steele, and MSNBC

          I mean no shit the NatSec freaks collaborate with this one-party state that has two of them, but they haven't been this blatant about their displeasure with a President since I guess fucking Kennedy

            I think that's probably because they've internalised the two party system so they are now an additional form of normative institutional power, which is why they have both gone against Trump and failed to accomplish anything (at least not more than prior presidencies)
