Catching the Deep State is like Landing a Blue Marlin
(and why the “arrest them now!” crowd are the same geniuses who try to skull-drag a 900-pound fish with a 50-pound leader)
You ever watch a sunburned weekend warrior hook a big blue marlin and immediately try to winch it in like he’s reeling in a crappie? Ten seconds later: ping — line snaps, rod folds, fish gone, ego shredded. Captain lights a cigarette and mutters, “Told you, dumbass.”
That exact energy is every “ARREST THEM NOW!” meltdown on Truth Social.
The real play is slow, brutal, and requires a brain with an attention span longer than a goldfish on Adderall.
When the fish runs, you give line. When the Deep State runs, you give line.
2016–2020 they were doing 40-knot greyhound jumps across the Atlantic. Nobody was indicting Hillary while 78% of the D.C. judiciary still thought Crossfire Hurricane was a yoga retreat.
When the fish tires, you reel. 2023–2025 they’re circling. Weiss. Hur. Merchan aging in dog years. Fani discovering receipts don’t lie. That’s the marlin puking its guts. That’s when you gain line.
The judges are the real drag system. Lifetime tenure. You don’t swap the reel mid-fight. Trump flipped the Supreme Court 6–3 and only turned three circuits. That’s like changing three tires on a burning bus and yelling “Fixed!”
The “arrest them now!” fan club are the guys on the deck screaming “CRANK HARDER!” while the spool is smoking. Congrats — you just turned a 12-hour fight into a 12-second highlight reel titled: “How I Lost a Grand Marlin and My $2,500 Rod.”
Here’s the actual sequence that works:
-
Expose everything in discovery and congressional hearings (bleed their credibility).
-
Replace/refire enough judges and U.S. Attorneys so indictments don’t get laughed out of the building.
-
Let mid-tier players flip when they realize the music stopped and they’re holding the bag.
-
Reel steadily while the big fish circles and CNN stops answering their calls.
-
Gaff only when it’s wallowing on the surface and even the lifeguards want it dead.
The longest verified blue-marlin fight lasted 32 hours and 40 minutes. They had it right at the boat… and the leader snapped.
Perfect analogy! I've said all along that if they arrest now, before we get the court system fixed, all the bad actors will walk. We only get one shot, ain't no do-overs in this game.
100% Agree.
Agreed, but will the courts be "fixed"? We've definitely made progress but I've heard talk of Comey trying to walk from his case, b/c of government misconduct. Will these judges find technicalities to throw out the cases? Or just throw them out anyway? I guess time will tell. But Q mentioning "military is the only way" makes me think we'll be forced to go the tribunal route
It's kind of a moot question. Because either they get fixed and the nation gets saved, or they don't, and some other remedy must be sought.
But consider this: Perhaps Comey is the tester. Before moving in on big fish, or more broadly, the Trump DOJ needs to test the waters and secure the process.
From this perspective, the Deep State Cabalites are going to fight tooth and nail on Comey. Because, they are doing their best to not be destroyed, and any break in the wall just increases the speed of their demise.
So consider that perhaps, the Comey thing doesn't go the way we (the Trump DOJ) wants. It doesn't mean it's a defeat. It means, in war, you win some and you lose some. What matters is, steadily making progress, which is what Trump Team have been doing for the last 10+ years.
Outstanding analogy! 😎😎
Add: sink that hook deep. Don’t yank on the first nibble.

Isnt this the whole story of Old man and the sea?
YEP...had to read it in Collage English Class and write a paper on it!!!!!!
Professor wanted no less than 5 pages...AND SHE WAS A HARD-ASS!!!!!
Don't you mean "The Orange Man and the C(abal)"?
I'm still reading that one. It's a doozy, but I haven't reached the end yet.
Nicely worded post.
LOVE the analogy….Fish On!!!!
Fantastic analogy. Keep up the good work.
Over the years, I have laughed at the women who complained about how expensive and time consuming their husband's golf obsession was. And I told them about the reel obsession. The boat, the gas, and that $1000 rod and reel? They don't have just one. Apparently one needs a different set up to match the fish. If I remember correctly, it was the Blue Marlin which necessitated the yearly trip to Cabo San Lucas.
Excellent analogy that also made me smile because you outed yourself, one fishing widow and the fishermen on the board. Good job.
Good analogy. For those who have never been deep sea fishing, when you want to reel a big fish, it has to take your bait, and when it does, it's a process of wearing the fish down till it's exhausted, which can go on for hours. The bigger the fish, the longer the fight. Now, 3 things can happen during the fight:
A) You wear out the fish, and you reel it in
B) The fish wears you out, and you cut the line
C) You get impatient, reel it in too fast, the line snaps and you loose the fish
Spot on. Lots of people, even Trump fans, don’t seem to fully understand Trump. He made his fortune with big real estate deals that involved juggling different factions (banks, tenants, regulators, unions, etc.) over years, before his big payoff at the end. Then he made another fortune running a successful reality show. He’s a showman.
Now he’s got a second four-year term. He has one chance to do a huge job: drain the swamp and save the US. He has one chance get it right, and leave a legendary legacy. So of course not everything will happen in the first 10 months. He will be timing things for maximum effect. I have no doubt he’s got his eyes on the midterms and intends to win them decisively. Even more will happen before 2028.
The old,old saying. " Softly, softly catchy monkey"
You have to have the stealth and patience of a predatory jungle cat.
Well that makes sense to me. You gotta let the fish run. He will try to escape deep, try all kinds of thing to break free. Then he wears down a little and realizes there is no way out. He loses hope and eventually is reeled in with little effort. Brought right next to the gunnel and gaffed onto the deck to take its final breaths.
The real play is slow, brutal, and requires a brain with an attention span longer than a goldfish... Bahahaha! Dam you nailed with that !!
Oh, were that there was a sticky for a sticky! Or an updoot for an updoot!
Best post on GAW so far this year!*

So, is the military, like the plan says, not part of the plan? Trump needs to go through the court(s)? I believe you are (or might be) right if he doesn't use the military. If he must use, or has to use, the military-the fish could reeled in sooner, (I will say maybe because I was never a fisherman).
nice. I liken the "ARREST THEM NOW!" group as Benny in the Lego Movie. Benny would say he could build a spaceship and everyone kept saying "no" but at the moment they needed a spaceship, Benny said he could build a Space Ship and no one said "no"
so we need these people and they are on the same side. We just keep saying "no"
When they say "ARREST THEM NOW!" and it is the right time... exciting ..
if we are being fair, this is an easy position to take after we ourselves have screamed ARREST THEM NOW! for 8+ years because hindsight
....Some of us were not in the arrest them now group for the last 8 years and instead were just following the plan ;-) If military is the only way like Q said then we will not get to see when the actual arrests happen/happened. This is why we are watching a movie now. This concept always pisses people off because they have no way to gauge what is actually happening.
oh right i mean i am too good to be so reactionary and have in fact known the whole time it would take over 8 years to see arrests therefore never once said or even thought about arrests until they happen ;-) haha right if you say so
No, my fren. I have never screamed "arrest them now!" Never once.
So, perhaps your generalization isn't really so apt, except to those who HAD adopted that position.
And if you are only coming to the realization now, with hindsight, then be grateful for that 'easy position'. For some of us, its been a long, hard slog, as we've been trying to tell our fellow frens what this OP has so perfectly articulated here: This takes time.
if you say so friend. i can be honest with myself. :)
aha. So, not so much an old school fool as an old school wisebody....
hmmm...
an honest with themself wisebody at that so we need more of me in that regard :)
When you already have all the evidence (I mean they do, right??), letting it drag on without any arrests is like treating a hooked crappie as if you were trying to land a marlin.
Bad analogy.
They can HAVE everything. The general public still needs to know first. And until the judiciary is cleaned up, having everything doesn't matter when one corrupt judge refuses to allow it to be shown and the jury finds not guilty due to evidence not being admitted.
Now isn't the time.
Lol if you have everything, then the evidence is all that's needed to bring the public up to speed.
