Interesting article. My take is he seems to be with the coup plotters. Is that correct?

You don’t get more left than Matt Taibbi but even he can see what’s happening.

Taibbi's going to lose a lot of party invitations. He hates Trump, but he sees what's going on: a soft coup by the intelligence agencies, in cooperation with the media and scumbag Dems like Nadler, Schiff, and Schumer.

And now - within days of a former intelligence official saying on national TV that he'd like to "put a shiv in Giuliani's back," they are coming after Giuliani and people associated with him. This is all out in the open, and Taibbi is one of the few lefties who sees it for what it is AND opposes it.

except your political future depends on the score

Except your very life may depend on it, as I think is the case right now in America. If the Left wins, it'll be curtains for lots of us.

Interesting piece. The author is certainly no friend of Trump but this, I think, is the main point:

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.

The author won't quite call that a coup but that's what it is. The country has lived through Presidents at all points in the competence continuum. It has never lived through anything like this. The Left, who are the beneficiaries of the moment, have closed ranks to protect this new ruling class, thinking that it's going to advance their own power. Theirs is the old Marxist doctrine of permanent revolution, but if this coup does turn permanent they've a very nasty surprise coming.

He gets it and doesn’t like it.

Scary, Matt Taibbi thinks his buddy Leftists will provoke an America ending exchange of violence between factions of the American Military, CIA and FBI.

President Trump needs to assume full plenary power, Suspend Congress, ban & outlaw the Democrat Party and stand up a multi-million person Civilian Volunteer Militia, with Federal posse powers, to back up the military and regular law enforcement. The CVM should be authorized to bring their own artillery....

Matt is late to the party, but he’s finally figured it out.

I didn’t know lefties like this existed anymore. His view of Trump is completely distorted but the article was otherwise brilliant.

Chillax Matt. Trump will never accept the idea of a permanent coup. Not gonna happen.

Truly, there is only a military solution to the tyrannical evil of the Left and the Deep State.

This is a fantastic article. The last paragraph really hits home.

This is pretty scary really. Unreal.

I guess this is what happens when you stop try to stop the corruption. I used to argue gov’t and the mafia play by the same rules. I guess this proves it.

...new foray into domestic politics by intelligence agencies that in recent decades began asserting all sorts of frightening new authority.We found out in a court case just last week how extensive the illegal domestic surveillance has been, with the FBI engaging in tens of thousands of warrantless searches involving American emails and phone numbers under the guise of combating foreign subversion.

How bad is it? Worse than any of us thought... But it appears the tide is turning.

Nothing destroys this kind of crap like sunshine... and the sun is falling like honey over corrupt intelligence bureaucracies...

There are countries all over the world involved in the CAI crap... wasn’t there a ‘secret CIA prison’ in Germany that was outed a few years back? I suspect intelligence thugs were working with foreigners AND against the United States for some time.

We can assume Obama was afraid of them - and that he let them get away with crap OR that he was in with them... If I had to guess I would say... they thought they were playing Obama but there’s a good chance he was playing them.
