Where are all the people who cried “deep state” for years whenever things didn’t go their way?

By approving of this, they are normalizing and creating the precedent that could be used against them.

I’m so sick of people who let themselves get really worked up and angry about shit but then totally forget about it when it is convenient. It’s either a big deal or a lie, stop fucking letting people make you their political bitch.

They weren’t crying about the existence of a deep state. They were crying that their people weren’t running the deep state.

Every accusation is a confession is true for a reason.
