Steve Bannon’s new book says he invented the “deep state” and only idiots believe it exists

More properly in context:

"The “deep state conspiracy theory is for nut cases”, Bannon is quoted as saying, because “America isn’t Turkey or Egypt”.

There is a formidable government bureaucracy in the US, he adds, but “there’s nothing ‘deep’ about it. It’s right in your face.”"

Bannon is being glib. He didn't say it didn't exist, he said it isn't a conspiracy because it isn't secret and it is right in your face. I would say that means it has graduated from conspiracy theory to a fact of life, but there are more layers than a dismissive theory.

I would tend to agree, although 'Deep State' is still a synoptic useful term. If they covered up Epstein's mess, and murdered him in a Federal prison in full view brazenly, and continue to pull transparent and obvious psychopathic strategies, they are certainly not a shadowed conspiracy theory any more. They just now have the arrogance to believe that nobody can do anything about it so why lurk in the shadows any more.

Not this guy?

Now look at this slightly bigger version of the screenshot in the OP:

There is a great divide between the Trumpsters and Liberals

Starts out completely lost and drones on with complete delusion. First, it's liberals and conservatives who protect liberal principles who voted for Trump. The democrats and leftists ARE-NOT-LIBERAL!

But second, I'll answer the question in the title: Because if dip-shits keep ratcheting shit up lots of people like you are going to get hurt very badly or killed. That's why. I think it was ten-pound that recently said: We're ballers and killers and he's exactly right. That's what humans are.

One day, you'll be standing there with your ear muffs on about to break a window to steal a donut then blam! You're dead. Somebody got sick of this shit.

It's one of the reasons a lot of Texas are civil with each other.

Per police encounter a black is far less likely to be shot by police.

Any guesses why that might not be as meaningful as you think it is ?

Do you ever just state a fact? You communicate in memes and ambiguity. Try direct information please

"It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump" by Stuart Stevens

Someone wrote a book! Ok gosh! I guess that changes everything! Because as you know, they don’t let anyone put anything but ABSOLUTE TRUTH in a book!

Guess where the left wing media focuses.

And, this is raw numbers. Imagine if it were on a percentage-of-population basis lol

Tim Aurora says

That graph is showing totals, blacks only make up 13 percent and are doing more than whites which make up 66 percent. This graph clearly shows how much more violent blacks are, thanks for sharing.

Soooo....who's the real victim here?

Bingo. Facts can hurt. Unfortunately Tim, we can do this all day.

Tim Aurora says

Please provide the link with statistics. Alt-Right fibs numbers

The FBI is alt right? Im sure official government facts and data are all just tools of white supremacy

Tim can you explain the violence in your chart, why are you ok with so much violence against whites?

Tim Aurora says

BTW, the chart shows that white on Black and Black on white is low and almost the same.

Um, what part don’t you understand about 76% of the population being White and 13% being Black? The facts are not one dimensional.

Blacks have built their own perception problem.

I listened to the first few minutes of the video. All of the retorts were either strawman arguments, or were very weak arguments that did not disprove Trump's claim.

A typical TDS infected girly man.

Are you working Jazz?

Jazz MIGHT be right, but the underlying problem (why we have unemployment) is idiotic shutdowns of everything because of a common cold, and tRUMP is not responsible for that other than not having large enough BALLS to stop shutdowns.

jazz_music says

The last few years we saw Congress and the Supreme court marginalized. Checks and balances are no longer effective. Presidential branch trumps the others, free to purge and punish all opposition and reward loyal cronies.

Funny you're just realizing this now, instead of 20 years ago when you should have.

OBSERVING

Oh bullshit.

Where was the declaration of war against Afghanistan? Iraq? Syria? Libya? Pakistan? Yemen? Somalia?

"The rise of tyranny"? We've been in it for decades. People have been warning about this for decades. Google, Facebook, and Twitter actively censor political speech. Our government constantly lies to us about why they go to war. Our "news" media is relentless propaganda in support of the criminal syndicate that calls itself the government.

Where's the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? What was the "humanitarian crisis" that Qaddafi was "about to cause"? Why was our nation bombing Syria?

Shit, we just had a coup attempt against Trump because he's an outsider. Complete silence on that. We had a previous president that used the intelligence agencies spy on candidate Trump in an attempt to get that butcher Clinton elected, a piece of shit that voted for the Iraq War. NOW you worry about tyranny. We don't live in a democratic system, we don't live in a republic - unless a banana republic is a republic to you.

It's has to get so fucking obvious to get you to be "observing". Well, here we are - 4 trillion dollar bailout to the banking system, neither party will allow us to exit the wars in Afghanistan or Syria - even though you have no fucking idea why we're there. It's been a dictatorship for a shockingly long time - but finally you're "observing" as if the obvious hasn't been obvious for years, but finally it's obvious to you - finally. Finally, people like you are starting to "observe".

No monsters here. These people are all right wing conservatives

Um, no. These people on the still picture are all National-Socialists.

jazz_music says

No monsters here. These people are all right wing conservatives enjoying their comfortable lives which they work for and obviously deserve.

No matter how much the Media tries to gaslight them that their work prototyping embedded chips and vector engines is only possible because of cotton picking in 1795

Persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany followed the Nazi takeover.

Please name all the Fascist States in Europe in 1938.

He's the precise meat puppet the criminal syndicate that runs this nation wants.

This man can't think, and I literally mean that, he has no principles at all, and he will be the perfect figurehead. All of our presidents have been complete sellouts and figureheads since at least George H. Bush with the possible exception of Trump.

Jeeze he seemed wasted, I know he's not but shit he couldn't even string together one sentence.

Tim Aurora says

My point exactly. Even after Mueller report confirming that Russia interfered and hacked, we still get these stupid arguments from Trump people.

SunnyvaleCA says

The hacking isn't the issue, it's the leaking of the emails that are alleged to have been exfiltrated from their server. And then we have sworn testimony from CloudStrike's CEO: "Crowdstrike says it believes Russians hacked into DNC. But it admits to not having direct evidence that Russians actually exfiltrated the emails from DNC. This would track w/ what Assange has said: Russia may have hacked DNC, but they didn’t provide stolen emails."

Your point seems to be exactly that the wikileaks emails came from the DNC server even though there was scant indication that happened and there are other possibilities that are seem believable (such as that someone inside the DNC copied the files to a memory card and walked out the door with them) and that the Mueller Weissmann report never bothered to investigate.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Trump didn't let his little general weneral have his itty bitty war in Syria. So the general says mean things about Trumo after throwing a temper tantrum and quitting.

Active-duty commanders or some retired granpas? I bet you it's not the former. Amirite?

Too many weapons systems, too little time.

"Trump's concentration on strict economic negotiation rather than arrogant, imperialist military conquest is un-American!"

Here's what a true military commander is supposed to say:

"I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight." ― George S. Patton Jr.

As every day goes by and more past War Criminals and Corrupt Crooks and scoundrels from past administrations pipe up and join forces with Hostile Russia and China propaganda voices. The more convinced I am, that some serious shit is going down, and the thousands of sealed indictments and double expansion of Guantanamo is more than just rumors.

Rice and Colin Powell have nothing to gain by joining in this Socialist hostile subversion of our Constitutional Republic, unless they are panicking that Trump is going to get them all.


Bite 'em in the ASS CHOPPER!!!

We've got them on the run NOW!

jazz_music says

apparently some do anyways.

No they don't. Stop lying.

And to further prove my point, Trump responded to Colin Powell by asking someone to inform him, that's "gotten 300 Judges confirmed and rebuilt our once depleted Military"

That was more than typical Trump boasting.
That was a notice that the authorities are on the fucking way.

Active duty risk losing their career if they speak out against this insane regime, still, apparently some do anyways.

This insane regime?

You mean this "insane" regime that hasn't begun a new war yet?

Our insane regimes have been George H. Bush, William Clinton. George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. It's been insane for so long, you don't recognize sanity.

Perhaps these people are finally going to get what they deserve. These wars have bankrupted this nation and these people were part of doing it. Having them speak out against Trump shows you which side they are on - they wrong side.

And honestly, now the Democrats trust this man?



For god-sake's. Why? The man gave up his credibility 15 years ago. His word means nothing. Consider how ridiculous that picture is too. Supposedly, he's holding up a vial of a deadly nerve agent, at the UN. You know what would happen if he dropped it? Nothing, because that vial did not contain anything dangerous.

I'm amazed at how people pull these people out from under a rock and start citing them as moral authorities. This man lied to the entire country. He doesn't deserve your trust, or respect.

What page? What's the quote?

www.youtube.com/embed/nE5byTkvRXs

It obviously exists but it's called "the double government" instead. This is why it doesn't make any difference who is elected. That video goes into great detail explaining how it works.

Deep State does apply to other nations, and it's functionally equivalent to what we have. Trump has exposed this actual power structure, and with it in the light of day finally, it can be taken apart and disposed of.

Tim Aurora says

Great They used a go-between to get those emails to Assange

His name was Seth Rich.

He committed the awful sin of leaking Hillary's emails, where we saw her and her staff, including Podesta, discuss pay for play.

Tim Aurora says

I vote to ban memes from the discussions. They have no data.

A picture is worth a thousand words; same goes for memes. The problem is that memes cause cognitive dissonance in those that have bought into the ruling narrative.

This also explains why the left can't meme.
