Whether they realize it or not, Trump and the Deep State are both in the same boat, which is captured by the old adage, 'there's the way you'd like things to be, and there's the way things are.'

Jusy the balm my mind needed: Alexander M.'s advice to wait for the appointment announcements to come directly from President Trump.

Thank you. Mark.

Do the MIC contractors understand that if they are in Ukraine maintaining military equipment they are legitimate targets and if they are captured they are not given the same status as military POWs?

It's embarrassing when Russian News is often more trustworthy than US News from the MSM.

Ray, this should reassure: (from Don Surber’s piece today) -

“Our once and future president Donald Trump is announcing his appointments to his next administration via Twitter and Truth Social, bypassing the media completely. This avoids a formal announcement and having to answer silly, loaded questions at press conferences asked by DNC water carriers who pose as reporters.” I mean, what is he supposed to do, trust his transition to the clerisy that has tried to murder him? A good read:

Exactly. He's running a private transition out of MaL. Who talks to him? We don't know. How many press conferences or interviews has he given since the election? The only way for the Deep State to communicate with him seems to be through the MSM.

One of the most shocking moments in Trump’s first impeachment inquiry was when Alexander “that’s Lieutenant Colonel” Vindman accused the President of the United States of inappropriately acting against the consensus of “the Interagency.” It was shocking to hear the Deep State being identified so explicitly and publicly by one its own operatives.

So it's more or less our own (internal to the US) "rules based order" where the inmates make the rules with no input from their boss (the President) and run the asylum as they see fit.

Who cares. ‘Kick his ass out’ is what the ‘rules-based-order’ says. HE operates from that perspective, so may he eat it.

Yep. Plenty of people pointed this out at the time. But of course it didn’t matter. Vindman was not only protected by those plotting Trump’s supposed imminent demise, he was hailed as a hero in the legacy media for standing up to the evil orange man. It’s amazing to recall the state of hysteria the country was already in on the eve of the Covid hoax.

It’s all the alphabet agencies making up the “imperial city on the Potomac” - among them FBI, DOD, DOJ…et tutti quanti.
