    Yes, you do. But your defense is usually empty vitriol, false claims, and attempt to distract. Most Trumpsters seem to lack even basic knowledge of the major issues, and very little command of the facts. Right wingers almost never back up or document their claims. When they do, their citations are almost always from blogs with dubious reputations for reliability.

    Your attempt to describe teh collusion investigation in the past tense is wishful thinking.

    You expect us to prove a negative?

    The liberal media and the Deep State swamp rats accused trump of collusion with the russians

    But after a year mullier has come up empty

    Yet you still demand that we prove it aint so?

    Nope. EVIDENCE of numerous meetings between campaign staff and Russians (that campaign members lied about) lead to the FBI opening an investigation which has been taken over by the special counsel.........BECAUSE DON FIRED COMEY.

    You remind me of the East German Olympucs judges

    America is deeply divided

    We have practically no shared values or beliefs remaining anymore

    I dont know how this will all turn out or where it will go but it wont be good for anyone

    The Deep State is Trump's ready made excuse for the knuckle draggers to hold like a security blanket as Trump's corruption and incompetence continues to be obvious and self destructive.

    Trump's failures can be easily dismissed as the fault of an imaginary secret conspiracy.

    Of course, this is the same conspiracy that I've been hearing about since the John Birch Society. The names and labels change every few years, but the basic idea is the same.

    We know that both Deep State and "the Swamp" are nothing more than focus group tested slogans.

    So, here's a challenge.

    Define the Deep State. Tell us exactly what it is. Tell us who controls it. Be detailed. Empty waving the George Soros bogey man is not sufficient. If you're going to assert that the Deep State rules the world, you should be able to describe its basic structure, and who its key players are.

    We have never had trouble identifying the major players and nodes of influence in the right wing universe. You should be able to do the same.

    Do the same for "the Swamp". We hear you folks use that slogan all the time, without definition or fact.

    Take your time. And be prepared to document your claims.

    We have more shared values than you think. But when a person like you can write this.............

    "The liberal media and the Deep State swamp rats accused trump of collusion with the russians"

    when this.................

    "Nope. EVIDENCE of numerous meetings between campaign staff and Russians (that campaign members lied about) lead to the FBI opening an investigation which has been taken over by the special counsel.........BECAUSE DON FIRED COMEY."

    (because you believe the lies of right wing media)...........is true then we have a problem.

    I have done that several times already for liberals who cannot think for themselves

    The Deep State is unelected government employees in Washington who use their power and influence behind the scenes to influence policy

    You expect a lot in return for nuthing dont you?

    The swamp is the cesspool of elected lawmakers, staffers, political consultants, lobbyiests, journalists and burocrats who live and breed in washington

    A majority of them arrive as fresh and often idealistic liberals or conservatives

    But they eventually grow tails and become swamp rats dedicated only to themselves

    Actually, I don't believe that. I suspect that if most of us met each other in person, we'd find we have a lot of things in common and many shared values.

    You never asked for anything. And I have very little trouble documenting my claims.

    I fully expected you to respond with more empty vitriol. You answer my challenged with the very same empty, fact free, and baseless nonsene I called you out on the first place.

    Hint. You don't get points for supporting your argument by repeating it over and over. I realize that talk radio screamers use that technique on their not-too-demanding audiences all the time. But it doesn't work in the real world.

    The real funny thing about your response is taht you described many in the Trump Administration very well.

    The significant difference is that none of them arrived as idealistic. Trump is not idealistic. He only believes in what he sees in the mirror (and he's actually deeply insecure about that). The people arould Trump are there to cash in.

    If they are high up the food chain then they are likely appointees of the current admin, not career people.

    Still waiting for an example of how they effect policy.

    Again, you miss the point. The investigation was not started because of the fictitious "Deep State" or the fictitious "liberal media." It was started because of actions taken by members of the Drumpf campaign.

    Then how come a Key ObamaCare architech { *Jonathan Gruber }
    was taped in an interview expressing his real view of Americans.
    That they are by and large " stupid ".
    Then as typical of the way the Obama White House just cavalierly lies
    to cover up.
    Obama's White House just blew off the notion { after Gruber was outted }
    that he was a key player in fashioning the ACA.
    E-mails don't lie.They show frequent consultations between Mr.Gruber
    and top Obama Administration staffers and Advisers in the White House.
    Gruber was in touch with key advisers such as Peter Orszag { Director
    of the Office of Management and Budget } was well Jason Furman,
    an economic adviser to the President,plus another key player in the
    ACA { Ezekiel Emanuel }.
    Gruber was used to spin reporters.In an attempt to get any recalcitrant
    Senators on board.

    * caught on tape high-fiving himself for helping to fool what
    he describes as " Stupid " Americans with the Affordable Care Act.
