two years ago barack obama was going to use his vaunted internet connections and socialist loyalists within the state department, the cia, nasa and the other federal intelligence gathering apparatus to run the government in the stead of the newly elected president of the united states. trump would perhaps be the de jure president, but obama and friends would be the de factor president, and he was openly treated as such, and feted by other heads of state who might have known better.
it was called the "deep state", openly admitted, not at all denied, and the contemplated vehicle of obama's dreams of continued governance. socialism would have its day, and it would govern.
the democratic party would oppose trump at every turn, and impeachment was the cover of an open coup attempt. that was then, heady days for those who thought they would wrest power from the duly elected president, not held legitimate to them.
today, where is it? well, it lies shattered, along with the dreams of power held by the likes of comey, mccabe and the big mouthed brennan, and countless lesser federal bureaucrats whose open contempt for president trump was flaunted at every public utterance was trumpeted by the media, and whose every act was an attempt to scuttle donald trump's governance. every act pursued by trump was challenged in federal courts, and judges of lesser stripe were sought and cultivated because they openly advertised their willingness to thwart trump's exercise of power.
today, comey and mccabe are revealed as the venal rosencranz and gildenstern of the day. john brennan has shut his mouth, his flapping gums stilled. john kerry no longer visits the world's capital acting as the secretary of the deep state, making deals and foreign policy with leaders of state only too eager to indulge in his vainglory.
the military is solidly behind trump, not at all lured by the idiotic imprecations of the obama toadies in the "deep state."
the democrats tried every low life tactic imaginable to frustrate trump, and their strategies lie in ruin, and they are revealed as the champions only of their own self interests, with no agenda calculated to advance the interests of the united states as a body politic, no vision of the betterment of its citizens. their party is in disarray, run by idiots, championed by chuch schumer and aoc ,.... , what more need be said.
trump's rule is secure. even the mavens of the mass media have stilled their ridicule of melanie trump, a decent woman.
the "deep state" lies as a failed coup attempt, the stench of its illegality pervading socialist conceits. it is consigned to the dust bins of history. in two short years, trump has prevailed, and his policies dominate the public debate. he has not won every fight, but, he defines the debate.

p.s. and, donald trump continues to appoint judges to the federal bench, and the republican controlled senate committee continues to steer those appointments to the bench in record numbers. and, ruth bader ginsburg cannot live forever.
