goverment careerists, particularly in state/intel/military capacities. obviously you'd have a lot of brain drain if these were political appointees turning over every few years, so a lot of the mid-level guys in intel/pentagon whatever aren't subject to that sturm and drang. you get entrenchment and an agenda that might not line up 1:1 with whoever is holding office.

particularly if they are actively antagonizing you and maybe compromised by a foreign power or at best just astonishingly bad at information security. along with bad at everything else

in the campaign trump's ideas were vague but passionate, and his supporters are dumb so they did a lot of projecting of what their perfect ethno-utopia was going to look like; but no one thought to compare notes or extrapolate consequences

it's been used a lot lately by the very serious political writers of the day to mean career civil service employees at the federal level, often couched in terms of a resistance faction or at least that they got some agenda

because in trump's america our partisans are a bunch of GS-9's trying to afford a mortgage in Silver Spring, MD.

yes, much like the media who are free to criticize him, he hates them because he can't make them do things like he can the major appointment people.

like for example the people who do background checks for the fbi and who made him ditch some of his staffers are probably just some regular people who got hired through USJOBS.GOV, they're gonna be in their jobs whoever wins in 2018 and 2020 because they are just research people who work there, and getting promoted depends on doing their jobs well rather than sucking trump's cock.

quote:

To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, etc.; but no details can be relied on.

quote:

Adrian Schoolcraft (born 1976) is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer who secretly recorded police conversations from 2008 to 2009. He brought these tapes to NYPD investigators in October 2009 as evidence of corruption and wrongdoing within the department. He used the tapes as evidence that arrest quotas were leading to police abuses such as wrongful arrests, while the emphasis on fighting crime sometimes resulted in underreporting of crimes to keep the numbers down.

After voicing his concerns, Schoolcraft was reportedly harassed and reassigned to a desk job. After he left work early one day, an ESU unit illegally entered his apartment, physically abducted him and forcibly admitted him to a psychiatric facility, where he was held against his will for six days.

thats actually exactly what the law is going to do: it would make cops and firefighters special cases where their unions get to still exist even though other unions are illegal. the cops are upset that some cops are technically in other unions i.e. if they work in jail stuff or are clerks and would thus be out

“We’re backed into a corner,” said Mr. Medford, 46, whose business teaches people to be filmmakers. “There are at least some things about Trump I find to be defensible. But they are saying: ‘Agree with us 100 percent or you are morally bankrupt. You’re an idiot if you support any part of Trump.’ ”

He added: “I didn’t choose a side. They put me on one.”

Mr. Youngquist stayed in the closet for months about his support for Mr. Trump. He did not put a bumper sticker on his car, for fear it would be keyed. The only place he felt comfortable wearing his Make America Great Again hat was on a vacation in China. Even dating became difficult. Many people on Tinder have a warning on their profile: “Trump supporters swipe left” — meaning, get lost.

That has nothing to do with what I'm mocking you for though

I'm saying you don't actually believe Republicans will reign him in, because why would they? There is no logical reason for them to not let trump do anyhing he likes with exec orders while they pass any legislation they want with no opposition or media coverage

Reigning trump in would be actively bad for them, because the media wouldnt be in a constant tizzy fact checking trump anymore and and spotlight would be back on legislators

Lol, trump supporters don't even understand the interplay going on between Republicans and trump here, no wonder some of them are baffled at how voting for him didn't instantly solve all their problems
