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.
The “deep state” is jargon for the semi-hidden army of bureaucrats, officials, retired officials, legislators, contractors and media people who support and defend established government policies.
Those “deep state” officials include the intelligence, law-enforcement and national security officials who worked in President Barack Obama’s administration but who are still working in permanent or temporary positions in the White House and in surrounding agencies. Many of those officials are believed to be leaking information from within the White House to allies in the anti-Trump media, including Kristol.

D.S. = Swamp
For the most part.
Smug seditionist.
What, exactly, is his power base? The Weakly Standard? I don’t think that rag has enough powder to blow the doors off a kiddie car.
This tird should be dealt with, but to me it is a low priority.
Foreign-policy “hawk” supports treason bump for later...
Republican Trump trashing has become a fairly decent cottage industry in Moscow on the Potomac.
That is precisely correct.
What’s with this “Deep State” crap? All of a sudden.
It’s not new. It is descriptive of the unelected layer of globalists who run things regardless of what puppet is elected by the people. The people were supposed to select Hillary or Bush as President, but somehow by accident or providence Trump got in. This upsets the globalists who see their control threatened.
These “Deep State” globalists should be decorating lamp posts throughout Washington DC. If this isn’t the time to “water the Tree of Liberty” then there will never be one.
‘Deep State’. is Deep Swamp.
Keep draining.
A Fox news Beta Cuck that inherited his father’s money.
Kristol’s hostility to Trump is definitely not normal. If he is really sincerely that hostile, he is a mental case. More likely, he has a paid agenda that Trump threatens.
Not surprising. The neocons are all enemies of the US Constitution.
So in other words, the deep state is a group of traitors who should be publicly hung and left for the birds.
I specifically supported Trump as the only candidate who would have been a threat to the globalist traitors.
In short he believes in Dictatorship by Spooks.
FUBK!
Aka shadow government
et tu brute?
The people that live and work in DC have a network of friends and business partners that they have diligently developed over many years.
These relationships pay very well indeed.
Trump's stated goal of "draining the swamp" is an existential threat to all of these people, regardless of political party or ideology.
We cannot expect their assistance in making themselves obsolete and therefore we must understand that they will do anything and everything to resist.
My point is that this isn't the old D vs R game. This is a major struggle on how DC will operate, and it ain't going to be easy.
