“What Trump calls the ‘deep state’ in the United States is protecting the American people and protecting the Constitution. It’s a positive thing in this sense.”

That’s a direct quote from New York Times’ columnist James B. Stewart responding to Savannah Guthrie on NBC’s Today Show.

No real attempt to hide it. In fact Stewart is selling book that seemingly documents it.

He continued, “Well, you meet these characters in my book, and the fact is, in a sense, he’s right. There is a deep state. There is a bureaucracy in our country who has pledged to respect the Constitution, respect the rule of law. And as Director James Comey told me, ‘Thank goodness for that,’ because they are protecting the Constitution and the people when individuals – we don’t have a monarch, we don’t have a dictator – they restrain them from crossing the boundaries of law.”

So this is the new brainwash: “The Deep State is necessary as a check and balance on power.”

My mother had a phrase for things like this: “the unmitigated gall.”

The Deep State is the “good guys” and now there is NO NEED to face your accuser.

Next...MEDICARE AND UNIFORMS FOR ALL.

Thank God, we still have communication outlets to show the insanity. Next, they will come after them.

No more Washington Free Beacon, Townhall, Daily Caller, Washington Times, social media and worst of all, no more

FREE REPUBLIC.

Fedzilla protects itself.

Not ONE of our elected and appointed stood up for the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

No one born with more than ONE nationality can be NATURALLY an American.

The yiddish have a more concise term, chutzpah.

Yes, the good guys who tried to deny the people the right to a fair election so one of the most corrupt bitches in US political history could steal the election.

It is normal for all people to think they are in the right.
True wisdom is recognizing the possibility that you might be wrong.

So, the Deep State is “protecting” the Constitution by destroying it?

I assume you are referring to New York Times’ columnist James B. Stewart, is that a correct assumption? 8>)

Good guys don’t overturn elections. And as far as respecting the Constitution, these guys respect nothing but themselves and certainly not the people they’re supposed to be serving.

Yep, but I wonder if there is a yiddish word that describes someone going even beyond chutzpah because I can’t believe the stuff the left says today, like Obama or Biden saying “In 8 years the Obama administration never had one scandal” LOL LOL LOL!!! They just blatantly blatantly LIE and don’t seem to give one damn about it.

If true, that they are the good guys, why did the Deep State allow a usurper become President?

There is a bureaucracy in our country who has pledged to respect the Constitution, respect the rule of law.

This "Deep State" of career bureaucrats lack a singular REQUIRED ATTRIBUTE and have an extreme deficiency; they are UNELECTED and are deficient in being outside "Checks & Balances"! Their 'dedication' to the U.S. Constitution and respect for the 'rule of law' is, at the very least, open to question but as they constitute formless and faceless mass, it is hard to isolate and question individually, isn't it? What is not questionable is their majority innate big government tendencies as statistics amply demonstrate them to be LEFTist and Democratic voting.

Kafka would be writing their stories now if he were alive!
