...and that ^^^^^^ is on top of trump giving AG Barr the authority to declassify our secrets so he can try and get revenge. Our allies will turn their backs on us and trump's America deserves it.
There will be some in here who defend that wretched bastard and his despicable bullshit.
Our country descends a little further into the sewer with each passing day. It's embarrassing & shameful.
I hope there is a deep state and they are walling off the things that need to be protected from trump & co.
Saudi Arabia is a counterpoint to the Iranians in the Middle East. Neither SA nor Iran is without toxicity BUT one will give a little pretence to accepting Western values and alliance the other will treat Westerners as the enemy. Now you COULD say that both should be spurred but then they may just start looking for other allies and escalate things. You could say that you would support rising escalation and miss out on billions of dollars of business with US on the basis of Jamal a non-US journalist who had some of his articles posted on Washington Post, but that would be REALLY stupid and really narrow-sighted.
Worried about AG Barr declassifying secrets. That is a lie. A big bold one. You did not give a fucking shit when you wanted him to declassify the Mueller Report and now shit yourself that he just MAY expose a coup against Donald Trump hidden behind classified settings NOT because it threatens security or is intelligence but rather because it is extremely embarassing and incriminating to those that sort the classification in a last ditch attempt to bury and cover up the crimes they were implicated in.
You have a problem with that? Get the fuck out of here with that partisan bullshit. Certainly do not pretend you actually think we are stupid enough to believe it.
You hope there is a deep state? You would hope for an unelected covert power-hungry, elitist shadow government controlling things? You would hope for that? You would hope for people being able to operate outside and above the law working against your country's interest? That is what a deep state is. No one HOPES for that kind of thing. It is as asinine as saying I HOPE to be a slave. Fucking ridiculous.
