Seriously, calling this US moment deep state is like referring to being a bit underpaid as slavery. It's offensive. https://twitter.com/dlepeska/status/832605846987235329 …

It's being used in comparison to Turkey or Egypt; not a comparable situation. Like being underpaid isn't slavery.https://twitter.com/zrakMalogMeseca/status/832643578924969985 …

Geez, people. You have stepped up leaking. Which is worth thinking about. But not a deep state, or a "deep state coup". Stepped up leaking.
