Is the deep state real

I blocked you and Joey , I can't see or read this...

If you have to ask.

I don't know about the deep state but there are literally hundreds of high-ranking government officials appointed to huge departments that have had their jobs for decades spending literally billions, hiring thousands, controlling thousands of acres, and making many regulations and rules that are enacted - not laws that are voted on. Tony Tavares, who manages Caltrans, manages a 20 billion dollar budget, he rules 22,000 employees, 400 airports, 50,000 miles of road. Don't think for a moment he doesn't use power and influence to sway his agenda. And he is just one example, in one state. In my state the DCNR controls 2.2 million acres that you are not permitted to drink a beer on, nor ride a pedal assist bike if you are under 16 (but can drive a 150 hp SidexSide or snowmobile), they have over 3000 employees, and a more than $600 million dollar budget. Imagine on the federal level, look at Anthony Fauci and his power, his empire. How many more are out there like him in what departments, making what decisions with no oversight.

DC Swamp?

If you believe it’s real, it is. 
 

If you believe it isn’t real, it’s not…

Sometimes I read comments that point out how big, intrusive, incompetent the government and it's agencies are.  

There's no denying that they've all stepped on their dicks through bad leadership or policies.  That's what people do...fuck shit up.

BUT....almost every agency, law, regulation, rule, whatever came into being to to prevent or punish folks that believe they should be able to do whatever they want no matter how harmful it is to themselves, their neighbors, the country, or the world.

There wouldn't be very many laws or rules if people possessed common sense and decency.  I think we know that's never gonna happen

Of course you did. 

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes.

You and some of your brethren seem to suffer from this to the point that you condone your political leaders empowering themselves to shit all over the 1st amendment; hence, the Twitter files, You guys say NOTHING about The Biden Administration telling the fine folks at FaceBook what’s acceptable for us all to say and hear…etc., etc., etc. or…did you forget? 

At the end of the day, I feel sorry for you and I even feel sort of embarrassed for you. Why? Because, I’m assuming you’re a grown man and you should care about these things…these freedoms…the core of our liberty…to the point that you’d stand up and defend them. 

But, you don’t. 

Well damn, first I'm seeing of this gem !!!

Oldfrontwiper might ought to go back on over to FB where zuck allows him to wrap himself up in a bubble, free from anyone who might hurt his feelings. 

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I was talking to a retired federal official one day and his statement to me was very impressionable

"the system works exactly how they want it to" It's a very accurate statement, the only variable is who you believe the "they" are.

"Premier package"

For reals?

I got yer premier package right here. I have the feature where if I see an obvious political post I'm not interested in I don't look at it.  lol 

Had me going there for a minute....  

I've seen stuff like that done on another message board....it only created more headaches for the mods/admins.  

TBH....having to use a blocker or ignore feature is pretty lame.   It usually means someone is incapable of refraining from reading the posts of the person who annoys them.     I like the "scroll on by and don't respond" built-in feature we all have. 

There's a pool in the basement, too, but only the upperclassman know the combination to the lock.

All the evidence says, “YES”!

the title should read "the deep state IS real"

RFK has an interesting book about that guy. 

I’m jus’ sayin’…

Does a 3 legged dog swim in a circle? 

Of course it is real and has been for quite some time. Same thing back in the Roman era obviously different but the point remains. People behind the scenes yield massive power over congress and the puppet
