The point of your thread here seems to be to prove that the "deep state" is a real thing. Good job.
The list of names of former State Department members, National security officials, and Department of Defense officials in your link who would not support Trump in 2016 came to around 60. Today 741 people from those same departments, and others connected to them, did the same. That's unprecedented.Same old same old.
That's because Trump is unprecedented. We've never had a politician so willing to challenge the status quo. Every election we hear the mantra of "change", but when we get someone who could actually effect change, he's called dangerous.The list of names of former State Department members, National security officials, and Department of Defense officials in your link concerning those who would not support Trump came to around 60.

Trump had in his possession some of the most closely held secrets our government has. These secrets pertain to the military capabilities of our allies, our human assets in other parts of the world, and our nuclear program. They were kept in an unsecured location, and some classified information was shared with people who were not authorized to see or hear it. Do you not see that as being dangerous and a threat to our national security?That's because Trump is unprecedented. We've never had a politician so willing to challenge the status quo.

No, he didn't.Trump also tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Do you not see that as dangerous and a threat to our democracy?
Do have any inkling what the effect on the US would be if there was a general war in Europe? The effects were bad enough when Putin attacked Ukraine.The more we can get away from there the better.
We're not just talking about this election. It's the opposition to Trump that's being discussed. And you handily linked to a wiki page that has a few hundred more examples of Republicans who think that electing him is a very bad idea indeed.The one poster here has often used the word “unprecedented” as to this petition of concerned citizens re how “dangerous” Trump is. Is it really so “unprecedented” or just repeated propaganda from the past?
Wait...what? Are you saying it's only wrong if a foreign state actually got hold of some of the more sensitive papers (and we have no idea if they did or not). That's like saying that DUI is only wrong if you kill someone.What was the result?
In what alternative universe did he not? Because it certainly wasn't this one.No, he didn't.
Yes that's what I'm saying. DUI is only wrong if you kill, injure or cause property damage. Otherwise it's fine.Wait...what?

Sarcasm emoji missing.Yes that's what I'm saying. DUI is only wrong if you kill, injure or cause property damage. Otherwise it's fine.
I know, that is my point which I have repeatedly made that it is elitists who many of us working class American conservatives distrust. Maybe they are friends to your political interests, they are not our friends.We're not just talking about this election. It's the opposition to Trump that's being discussed. And you handily linked to a wiki page that has a few hundred more examples of Republicans who think that electing him is a very bad idea indeed.
That implies it happens to so many other presidents.Same old same old.
No, no sarcasm. I have this wildly radical belief that a person should be punished for something injurious that they actually have done, rather than for something they might have possibly done, but didn't. But that's a topic for another thread.Sarcasm emoji missing.
That is a radical belief. And a bad one.No, no sarcasm. I have this wildly radical belief that a person should be punished for something injurious that they actually have done, rather than for something they might have possibly done, but didn't. But that's a topic for another thread.
Several. ONE is too many. That means the person is engaging in known disinformation. Common lately, because it is selling to the gullible.How many?
Irrelevant. They are already known to support falsehoods; they did it in writing once before during THIS administration. Who cares what label anyone calls himself?They are all Republicans for heaven's sake. You are free to quote any of them in any case.
Again, and I'm astonished that I have to keep pointing this out...they are all Republicans. They're not in the government. Do you not understand this? They are saying as much as you might not support Democratic policies, people must not vote Trump into power and they must vote for Harris to try to prevent that happening.
Looks like the guy who shot at Trump would get off in your world.Yes that's what I'm saying. DUI is only wrong if you kill, injure or cause property damage. Otherwise it's fine.
No. Attempted murder would still be attempted murder. Driving home safely would be just driving home safely.Looks like the guy who shot at Trump would get off in your world.
The total number of those who signed both letters is one. General Mike Hayden, former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.Several. ONE is too many. That means the person is engaging in known disinformation. Common lately, because it is selling to the gullible.
