Welcome to Our Newest State: The Deep State


"State within a state is a political situation in a country when an internal organ ("deep state"), such as the armed forces and civilian authorities (intelligence agenciespolice, administrative agencies and branches of governmental bureaucracy), does not respond to the civilian political leadership. Although the state within the state can be conspiratorial in nature, the Deep State can also take the form of entrenched unelected career civil servants acting in a non-conspiratorial manner, to further their own interests (e.g., job security, enhanced power and authority, pursuit of ideological goals and objectives, and the general growth of their agency) and in opposition to the policies of elected officials, by obstructing, resisting, and subverting the policies and directives of elected officials."-Wikipedia

Thought provoking questions to ponder as we embrace our newest state,The Deep State:

-Why are all the residents of The Deep State male (see picture above)? Are the insipid black suits the Deep Staters wear a menacing uniform or poor fashion judgment? Didn't the SS wear black uniforms?

-If I am not strong in the conspiratorial skill or don't have the enhanced power to further my own interests, can I still visit The Deep State?

-Am I being dense in assuming this sounds like everyone's workplace?

-Are The Deep State residents related to the Grays from Roswell who work in government? They seem to have comparable ideological goals.

-Isn't subversion, obstruction, and opposition taught at Trump U? Damn, I wish they hadn't shut it down before I graduated.

-When is the next Deep State Fair? I hear they have great fried food and bitchin' music.

-'Entrenched, unelected career civil servants acting in a non-conspiratiorial manner' sounds like a well paying career. Whose campaign do I contribute millions to for that job?

-Is there one ring to rule them all?

-Are we going to annex 'The Shallow State' next?

-Where are we going to put that extra star on the flag?
