When you're the author of a book titled The Deep State Revolution, and you live in a lovely little town located much too close to New York City, you constantly run into the judgmental politics of the left. When they will actually have a conversation — hardly a given with the woke — they say, if not with words, then with their expressions: "There is no Deep State."Not long ago, I would cite examples, but as neither The New York Times nor NPR nor CNN has not told those on the left about such things, their response was typically to dismiss me.Now all I have to say is "General Mark

The Deep State was born under FDR, started getting its sea legs under Eisenhower, and earned its PhD under Obama.

Deep State, deep hate … this is more about military officers and how bad they actually suck. Company grade officers are usually young punks on their newfound power trip, field grade officers are busy doing anything to get that next promotion, and general officers are convinced they are gods. The veteran worship is silly but the officer worship is a thousand times worse. They sacrifice young lives when it is NEVER necessary and there’s NEVER a price to be paid. May they all burn.

Medals Milley should be in the guard house, awaiting his trial for treason.

General Vanilli is in urgent need of an Optorectomy; the Army can pay for it then he can retire.

To suppress his personal battle with "white rage", he decided to submit and call Mai Li, the Chinese Gen.

Perfect headline, and only a tip of the iceberg examples... still, well done.
America Will Be Great Again, hang him
for treason, pray more, and get involved locally.
God is still Sovereign.

Agree with article, Milley is in the mix to take Trump down. It was a true conspiracy which involved many. I'm betting that Pelosi, Schumer, Mitch, Milley and many more are involved.
Please notice every time something comes out like treasonous Milley, the Biden Administration generates another disaster to make you look in another direction. We need to apply heat on the senate for an investigation on the Treasonous Milley. If he gets away with this, it will happen again and again.

It's beyond disgusting that this guy is still walking free. The RINOs just don't have the guts to do what must be done. Milley is flat out a traitor and should have been immediately removed and court martialed.

Yes, the list of examples of the deep state is long. One major example was missing, though. The blatant theft of an election. When the democrats realized that they were in trouble, they closed down the counting, and between midnight and 5 am massive ballots suddenly appeared that were 95% for Biden, Clearly a theft of an election, but in this case, so obvious. I hope all republicans seeking senate and congressional seats make these examples a cornerstone of their campaign.

FTA: “ This, if Republicans are clear-headed enough to use it properly going into 2022, could force reforms upon the bureaucratic state.” I got a good laugh out of that one! Right. Republicans are as tied to the Deep State as democrats. They are just lower down on the pecking order and will be punished by the DS if they get out of line in any way.
This government is so corrupt from top to bottom that it would take an enormous effort to clean it up. The left hated Donald Trump because he could not be bought. He was a wild card who threatened their power structure so they went after him, hard. They succeeded in stealing the election from him, but once again, fear he may run again and they know this time, he knows the game better, knows who the players are and will go after them for what they have done, not so much to him, but to the country he loves. He is more than a threat now than he would have been if he served a second term. They will do anything to prevent him from ever running again. He is who they fear. If by God’s grace he runs and wins, the country has a chance to pull itself back from the abyss. If not, these last nine months will look like paradise and the country will fall into a totalitarian nightmare. Trump/DeSantis 2024. Then DeSantis runs and wins 8 more years which should put us back on the right track.

The author describes a member of the deep state as "an arrogant, self-righteous, unelected, elitist official who thinks he can circumvent the American people's will." That's the truth, and they are everywhere, including universities, hospitals, and state medical boards, but have especially infested Washington DC.
Who could ever imagine America would have a treasonous commie general running our military?.

The Pentagon is the place where good officers go to be corrupted.

As I was reading this article, Ii had a complete bombshell awakening! I keep reading all the repeated articles coming out regarding more and more examples of Deep State activities. But the worst example is one no one really seems to point out. While we in MAGA land were happy and excited about Trump's election, the Deep State immediately went to work. It wasn't after they saw what he was going to do...it was seemingly simple that he WAS elected....that was such a horrifying event to HAPPEN. Thus.....they will NEVER let such a thing happen again, no matter what they have to do.
To me, that tells ME that all is lost. Perhaps others do not see it that way. But electing anyone other than a member of. or adherent to their philosophy is completely unacceptable to all of them, Democrat OR Republican. That's it. It is over.

I doubt that conversation ever took place. A lib could never understand the logic or reasoning in his points and conclude with him that Milley is deep state.

What meat head woke Milley did is treasonous the angry black AA Austin is the other side of the coin.
I dislike these two idiots as much as I hated the Chrysler car dealer Robert McNamara during the Vietnam war with clueless General Westmoreland. Times haven't changed just the faces of the bad actors.

My father joined the military the day after Pearl Harbor and went to Officers Candidate School. He was deployed to New Guinea and the career bureaucratic military superiors had no ammo or shells that fit the guns or artillery. He and other OCS ordered what was needed the week they arrived forging signatures on piles of requisitions. The career bureaucrats blew it off as a FUBAR or SNAFU. If the Japanese had known how ill equipped we were? After seeing Bagram surrendered, all our billions of taxpayer dollars in military hardware abandoned and nuking a family of children not much has changed.

Milley is a despicable, pompous, self-serving fool who's giving America's military a bad name. What next for him? He's probably already been measured for his new jackboots.

WE will never see general milk toast milley tried for treason...because Washington DC is corrupt and he probably knows to much...it is enough that the Afghanistan mess was his doing ...along with biden/obama...it is to fresh in our hearts and I suspect will remain there for a long time...just as Jane Fonda is call Hanoi Hannah and is held in contempt by Americans ...so milley will be called a traitor and screw up the rest of his life...he'll retire in financial comfort thanks to some book deal worth millions...BUT.. he will live by himself in disgrace....and in the stillness of night he knows the truth...

Yeah, MiIlie is the poster boy for sure. But, the deep state couldn't care less about him. He's just another useful idiot. Miniter is giving the pubbies too much credit with his expectation that the pubbies could mop the floor in 2022.
Aside from the 2022 mid-terms and in the eyes of the deep state, the existential threat to the deep state is still Trump and only Trump. Don't kid yourself that the deep state hasn't already considered a number of scenarios to bring harm to Melania and him. Or the Trump family in order to get all of them out of the public eye. Would Millie have participated in such a discussion? Who knows? He knows.

In one blow General Milley destroyed the reputation of the US Army. Our military loses war after war. Milley and Idi Amin left 85 billion in armaments behind for our Muslim enemies. Good for the Military-Industrial complex.
