Posted on 02/16/2017 8:56:29 PM PST by WilliamIII

Foreign-policy hawk Bill Kristol Tweeted out his preference for a political victory by “the deep state” above the nation’s laws and over President Donald Trump’s voters and policies, amid an increasing furor over the forced resignation of Gen. Mike Flynn.

Bill Kristol: "Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state."

deep state

Lois Lerner of the IRS is a good example. She did everything she could to hurt Conservative groups.

Another benefit of a Trump presidency is the exposure of these supposed conservatives like Kristol and other never Trumpers. They are showing themselves for what they really are — globalists and anti-Americans.

I saw Lou Dobbs let Krystal back on TV during the campaign. There was sort of a cautious “welcome back from exile, Bill” feel.

Which reminded me of the old saying - “When you let a camel stick it's nose inside the tent, the whole tent gets fleas!”

I hope the Hell FBN delouses Krystal once and for all!

It is. However they hold more power than the President, Congress, and Supreme Court. They may even hold some or most of those positions within their power. But they are flailing right now, because there is a chance that the curtain may fall.

That’s why the all or nothing against Trump.

I get it makes a good outrage piece/clickbait, but I don’t see why Breitbart considers irrelevant Bill Kristol’s tweets to be worthy of an article.

Bill Kristol: "Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state."

In other words, he likes democratic and constitutional processes unless things don't go the way he wants, in which case he'd prefer illegal acts by unelected spies to undermine and subvert the chosen representative of the people.

That's quite a commitment to democracy you have there, Bill.

The problem is no one knows who actually calls the shots. Even Clinton didn’t know. It’ll be hard to drain the swamp when you don’t know where the plug is located.

Sorry to see that the Kristol has lost its mind, er, sorry, shine.

He was once, like Marlon Brandon, a “contender” for the leadership of the real conservative movement. Now he is just “a movement”, like the one we take every day.

Exactly

As stereotypical as a NeoCon can get

Lord we used to get shouted down here for saying that in the Bush years

Another Neo’s Neo Krauthammer has been more fair at least over this

I don’t even bother with Podhorerz any more

But in all candor there is a new Jewish kid on the block and he is top shelf brain and courage unlike these quislings

Stephen Miller

Would there were 100 of him

Very very impressive and so young

Popped right up from that bastion of conservatism ...SANTA MONICA..

Fearless .....and self made...cause he thinks for himself

So screw the old NeoCons Jewish or Goy

Worthless as tits on a boar

Kristol, you need to go out on another cruise. Instead of joining the Deep State, someone could just deep six you.

Bon voyage!

Would you say his preference for “Deep State” over “Trump State” makes him sound more like a Trotskyite, Leninite, or Groucho Marxian?

That's a hard one. I would say Trotskyite.

But I wouldn't want to sic LTG Sudoplatov upon him, because that would be so un-American.
