The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

However, the deep state being 90% democrat and close to 100% in some agencies is not and can not be any sort of problem, because the democrats are just so damn good at setting their politics aside when executing their official duties.

Your attempts at irony are so lame and silly. And, of course, as usual you are wrong. "Deep State" is a bullshit concept designed to keep MAGA fooled and riled up. It is nonsense. And the idea that the Civil Service is the Deep State and a bunch of lefties is bullshit.

I attended training at the Federal Law Enforcement Center in Georgia. At the time there were over 50 agencies training there (I know...WTF?). All the TVs all over the campus were tuned to FOX 'news' all the time. This is your Deep State. Right.

And the FBI is targeted by the right for being too leftie? Are you kidding me? It is now and has always been a very conservative agency filled with conservative agents.

Sheesh. It's not about reality, it is about forcing the rightwing narrative to support their authoritarian ideology.
