ShallowState:
"I am more and more convinced especially over the past week, that - even though Trump's piss-poor polling to date is largely related to economic issues and a badly botched war, THE thing that WILL bring him down, WHICH HE OVERREACHES ON LIKE NOBODY'S SEEN BEFORE - is CORRUPTION."

In other words, a sitting judge has been arrested by the FBI for enforcing rule of law. #shallowstate #misruleoflaw
Judge Dugan clarified with ICE that they had an Administrative order (not a Judicial order/ signed by a judge) for the plaintiff's arrest . I stand with Judge Dugan 🗽.

@ShallowState:
"As primary season concludes, Trump's ability to exact direct vengeance upon members of his own Party dissipates. The reality of his unpopularity, greed and grift, and untrustworthiness begins to engender greater realization that he's a scumbag and a lame duck.
Quack, quack."

The people who are against ‘The Deep State’ are, one assumes, The Shallow State, which seems an appropriate term in many ways

Everything ShallowState describes is true. We are being abused by a sick person, why do we tolerate it as a nation?

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.”

More evidence that the Trump Administration is the #ShallowState - grift institutionalized by the unethical

We are not governed by democracy any more, we are governed by spite and petty vindictiveness #shallowstate

All these agencies quietly rolling over and complying with the illegal executive orders... Before this I'd always heard it was US government policy not to negotiate with terrorists. #shallowstate

basically “deep state” is just all the hardworking federal employees loyal to the US Constitution and dedicated to using their talents & skills to serving the American people.
Bannon will remove them or replace them with a “shallow state” loyal to only Donald.

"My son Elon called me 'pure evil' when he was a raging liberal. Now he's Trump's First Buddy, I get to hear just what Donald's going to do to his enemies!"

If you think the "Deep State" is the source of all things wrong with America, wait to see what the new "Shallow State" does for you. #shallowstate

Didn't they fire the Director of the national archives that's now made this terrible security violation of @mikiesherrill@bsky.social? And didn't they effectively eliminate the department that oversees national security? I guess this is the #ShallowState of inadequacy. No one is safe. ⚖️🇺🇲🗳️
This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government.

That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served.

No veteran's record is safe.

The MAGGATS have successfully replaced the deep state with the #shallowstate

We’ve replaced competence and care with the bombastic zeal of the #shallowstate

We are clearly now living in the era of the ShallowState.

I just dropped into Banters, a conversation in written form between Outspoken and ShallowState, newly posting on Substack. Banter promises to be an intelligent and informative newsletter, which is a twist from yapping ego-filled podcast episodes. I'm looking forward to future episodes. Well done!

The only way the #ShallowState is more transparent than the #DeepState is their primary motive of self-enrichment. #greed

ShallowState continues:

"It's a ketamine-induced quandary."
In a normal case, TESLA shareholders would be clamoring by now for Musk to disassociate from the company, at least operationally if not entirely. But their fears are that if TESLA removes Musk, it removes the puffery. And then the Price/Earnings multiple dissipates, and the stock further tanks.
