I believe that if there truly was a “deep state” there would be many MAGA big mouths disappearing in the night. Or falling out of high rise windows as in Russia.

Ah, but it’s the absence of any disappearances that is most suspicious! They are saving it up, you see. That’s what’s going on. [wink]

The commentators and most vocal politicos would have been "disappeared" by now. See South America for details.

George: This is the BIG takeaway from your excellent commentary: "Willful violations of the Espionage Act …… When you’ve deliberately used your position and access to put our whole nation at risk, compromising and endangering the lives of our military personnel and members of our intelligence services, you go to prison for that, too, no matter who you are.” It is difficult for veterans and current military members to argue with this point. I believe most reasonable individuals will concur with or acquiesce to the tenet you state.

I've said this before, but until our media stops giving the same weight to both the truth and the conspiracies, we are screwed. I'm sick of it and we all should demand better, but how? How do regular people, who don't want to see our democracy flushed down the Mar A Lago toilet, go about that?

"But for whatever reason, he decided that he would rather be indicted and prosecuted." He’s using it as a fundraising tool, and perhaps in his delusional state of mind once he’s achieved that aim, he might think that he can then avoid anything further. What can you say to such horrendous arrogance and stupidity? Fuck around, find out.
