    Wrong again, poor man, as Wikipedia is not considered mainstream media, in fact it is an online encyclopaedia and to add to your enlightenment, "Newspapers, television news networks, cable news, and radio are generally considered mainstream media outlets".

     

    I am capable of clear and concise thinking, having started a successful investment division of just under $2 billion, for a major bank, and managing over 40+ staff and thousands of customers, but what I am not, is a supporter of a compulsive liar, thief and felon.

     

    Anyway I'm done arguing with a conspiracy theorist and trump cult follower, so from now on, I shall put you on ignore, although I have to say that posts like yours do confirm that a lot of trump supporters are the very kind that he prefers (do your research on that!).

     

    Oh...I understand now. You're a criminal?

    According to an American political conspiracy theory, the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government.

     

    In 2020, many conspiracy theories circulated during the coronavirus pandemic partly because of the increased anxiety, larger number of people staying at home, and greater focus on the Internet and social media outlets.[12][13] One such conspiracy that proliferated from the 2020 Presidential election was QAnon.

     

    Opinion polling done in 2017 and 2018 suggests that approximately half of all Americans believe in the existence of an American deep state (very sad).

    Stop drinking the kool aid you poor easily led trumpie, you really have got it bad......deep state was born of conspiracy theory nonsense.

     

    I see the cult is strong within you.

     

    PS. As there is no deep state, what exactly is trump going to dismantle?

     

    Quoting wikipedia propaganda? How about an original thought? Again, you swallow the main stream media makes you easily controllable. How about really digging into it like I did?

     

    I don't necessarily want you to think like me, I just would like you to think.

  3. The Deep State comes from the dual state concept.

     

    The dual state is namely a combination of the normative state (the rule of law) and the prerogative state (the pure—political or arbitrary—will of those in power). When the dual state becomes expansive and deeply entrenched in the government, the prerogative side becomes the Deep State.

     

    This Deep State is the administrative bureaucracy that operates with administrative laws rather than the legislative criminal law of the land. These are laws or rules, not passed by congress, are created by the hundreds of agencies that the federal government spends more than $4 trillion a year on.

     

    These agencies control Agriculture, the U.S. intelligence community, the environment, transportation, commerce, pharmaceuticals, the work place, taxes, education, labor, housing, energy and of course WAR. It used to be the Department of War before the change to the Department of Defense. 

     

    The problem with the Deep State is the historical documented trend towards authoritarian control of a country. This was first demonstrated in pre WWII Germany.  It also has been pervasive in Turkey, Israel, South Africa, Russia and other democracies.

     

    The US Deep State abuses its powers of surveillance, policing, jailing, military means, and now, biomedical control. It overthrew governments for more than half the countries in the world in the last century, inspired every single war of the last century, coopted think tanks, adulterated the academy and corrupted the free press. 

     

    It has black box budgets for covert ops, third party payments to the military industrial complex and affiliated third party vendors, and the disguised deep state payments masquerading as foreign aid, NGO subsidies, and international organization “contributions.”

     

    The Deep State is responsible for the Tuskegee Experiment, MK-Ultra, Operation Paper clip, Operation Northwoods, Operation Mongoose and Patcon just to name a few scandals (feel free to google if not familiar).

     

    I'm more of a freedom kind of person, so I'm for Trump to dismantle the corrupted parts of the deep state.

    it's what they do that counts. 

    Like being a compulsive liar, stealing from a charity, setting up a bogus/scam university, frequently cheating on his wife, inciting an attack on the seat of democracy, denigrating American war heroes, claiming to help the American working man whilst getting his MAGA merchandise made in China, and not to forget that he was found guilty of sexual abuse/rape.

     

    Trump has done all of these things and perhaps many more, yet the fact that millions of Americans still support and vote for him speaks volumes about the limited mentality of his supporters. 

     

    Great summary of all the false propaganda against Trump...

     

    The true mental weakness is when you just believe everything the media throws at you. That makes you easily controllable.

    It seems to me that it is only the foreigners in Thailand who are angry and frustrated over Mr.P's power grab and all that he has done over the last few years to extend it. A huge, almost 99% Thais just dont seem to be bothered much, except a handful of students and activists. The only thing which can scare off these bullies is a mass uprising, which is not going to happen, as most seem to either accept or are resigned to it. Yesterday out in the streets, everyone was very happy enjoying throwing water and having a lot of fun, as always.

    Or else...

  6. Wow, so many ready to jump on this poor guy.

     

    Sounds pretty fishy with no drugs in her system.  Why would someone who drugged her bring her back to his apartment and stay until morning trying for round 2?

     

    Why would her friends let her leave with this guy?

     

    Girl gets too drunk, sleeps with someone and now regrets her stupid actions and claims the victim.  Typical.  

     

    How about being a more responsible proper lady?

    The red supporters can't or will not read properly again and sprout their nonsense without any base:

    "had already been convicted for invasion of Government House – the seat of the country’s administration – and been punished with a two-year jail term, as its reason for dismissing the sedition case."

     

     

    So if I broke into somebody's house and stole property, If convicted for the break in, I should be dismissed for the theft crime?
