Dunno about that man. The deep state is an overbloated expensive mess. How about this? Could it be that the deep state is it's own worst enemy ?
Talk about not fit for purpose.
Fixed the link
This particular phenomenon is not about the deep state. Even the Pentagon is not too thrilled with Trump's new military reality show. It's the shallow state, namely Mr. Trump, that is the problem here. Most of the deep state is just government employees and officials doing the jobs they are needed to do, and are good at doing.
Brower's post is right on point.
I thought Der Trumpenfurfur's shit show was obvious. I guess not...

But, of course it's the deepstate man. Like every other banana republic , the USA is home to lots of graft and corruption.
The cherry on top is Der Trumpenfurfur's militaristic impulses.
Besides, it's not a problem of people doing their jobs or not. It's problem of complexity , duplication, mission creep, etc.
IOW, it's a structural issue.
Deep state USA Graft and corruption, duplication, mission creep, complexity: do you have examples that would expand on your point?
We know the big things. Money rules politics, and Republicans protect this system. You know how the Citizens United decision went, and whose appointees voted for what there. The media is overly commercialized and not giving people any info.
I think there's always complexity in large systems. From my observation, the problem lies more in how people are voting. As George Carlin put it, average folks keep voting for people who don't give a fuck about them at all. People vote their prejudices, values and brainwashing. They keep settling for propaganda that trickle-down, hate-welfare economics actually works, when it doesn't. We have the government that we deserve. People have assumed that government and politics are bad, so why pay any attention? No, people need to pay attention.
