Just a friendly reminder that our country is fuc••d.

[MinorityRepublican]

Yep.

The 'deep state' is proving to Trump it’s a worthy foe

The 'deep state' is proving Americans it’s a worthy foe

[EnderWiggin1970]

I would say it is still an uphill battle to restore this nation to being a constitutional republic. But at least we are making rather than losing progress for the first time in my life.

[SmokingJoe]

The deep state is proving they have very weak d*cks.
Trump is winning almost everything at the United States Supreme Court despite a record number of EO’s.
Which is what counts.
Forget the pathetic district courts who are getting schooled by SCOTUS almost every time.

[Da Coyote]

One has to flush many times to remove all the shi...er...DemocRATz.

[coloradan]

Gee, remember when anyone who talked about a Deep State was branded a conspiracy theorist?

My, how the narrative has shifted.

Personally, I think Trump is a speed bump (maybe a huge one). But after Trump, the trajectory will remain the same.

[SmokingJoe]

Nope.
Thanks to Trump, America is doing great.
All the woke nonsense from Biden have been reversed.
No more transgenders in the military.
The members of the military who posted rejoicing over Kirk's murder are getting kicked out by Hegseth fast.
Etc etc.

[Clutch Martin]

Treasonous behaviors hit them in the wallet.

[logi_cal869]

They are their own little fiefdom with financial & logistical assets to support itself through more than a single administration.

All they have to do is ‘pause’ (in the face of their failure at Butler, etc.).

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Trump is less than a year into his four year term. A little early for anyone to claim victory.

[cross_bearer_02]

And for the especially large turds, a plunger or a Roto-Rooter are necessary.

[CatOwner]

And when Trump is no longer POTUS in January 2029, or sooner, if the DEMs retake the House starting in January 2027?

[sauropod]

Really, Erin?

[SmokingJoe]

Thanks to GOP redistricting, we keep house in 26, and I'd back Vance against any Democrat in 28.

[MinorityRepublican]

Trump forced the Deep State to reveal itself.

[quantim]

And our worthless GOPe congress/senate won’t do anything...ever. Except spend money and run up the debt. President Trump is on his own. I thought at the end of the Carter days things would get better with these elected criminals, how wrong I was to this minute.

[Damifino]

A year ago Politco was denying the existence of the deep state. Trump has moved Overton’s Window.
