This man is not fit to be President of a homeowner's association:
President Donald Trump accused the Justice Department Tuesday of being part of the “deep state” and urged prosecution against a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey. Trump’s latest tweets pressed familiar arguments for the president, who is set to begin his first full year in office with the victory of tax legislation but the Russia investigation still hanging over his administration.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents,” Trump tweeted in an apparent reference to a report by the conservative Daily Caller. “Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others,” he added.
This "Deep State" thing has, for several years, been the clarion call of some of the most dangerous right-wing extremist groups. What Trump doesn't understand (because he's an idiot) is the true nature of the meme: The bureaucracy is a product of the Executive Branch, so Trump is really complaining about his own inability to control what he's supposed to be in charge of. It's a false meme of course, because the vast majority of Federal government employees operate under Constitutional Statutory guidance, but the ignorant love to create monsters out of thin air. Now we're going to switch to an article that explores some of the challenges Democratic Congressional candidates will likely face in the run up to November:
