The Shallow State

New term to describe the separation of ideology between the Trump administration and Trump's own ideas. For example, the Trump administration (otherwise known as "the government") opened up that Russia is trying to meddle in the midterm elections, while Trump refuses to agree or stand up for the United States. This gulf in understanding between the two is called the Shallow State. While Trump Supporters adhere to the idea that the "Deep State," otherwise known as the government as they see it, is off on some conspiracy, you are wrong. The government is what it is, a huge disorganized machine that times to serve the American people, as imperfect as it is. Trump has his own agenda, does not understand and will understand government or process.
" Trump has his own agenda, does not understand and will understand government or process. "

Justified, look in the mirror and talk to Daffy & you guys decide who's gonna do the thinking...see above for reference. :cool:
 
Trump is just one part of the three branches of government, checks and balances were the norm, remember?

The President of the United States administers the Executive Branch of our government. The President enforces the laws that the Legislative Branch (Congress) makes.

The Legislative part of our government is called Congress. Congress makes our laws.

The Judicial part of our federal government includes the Supreme Court and 9 Justices. They are special judges who interpret laws according to the Constitution. These justices only hear cases that pertain to issues related to the Constitution.

Typo. "Does NOT and will NOT understand government or process.
 
I think the hunting "accident " put me over the top back in then. There was a special on TV some years ago about the Bush Presidency that really showed what a complete tool Cheney was. How he was a master manipulator and even manipulated President Bush.

If he ran for President I would not vote for him.
Why did the hunting accident matter to you?
I like his persona and he seems pretty good when interviewed.

Nutters don't believe in The Constitution, they believe Trump, no one else.

. . . funny how this buffoon, this celebrity seeking klutz that wasn't that good at real estate, wasn't good at all running a casino, wasn't that good at business (see the list of discontinued products and businesses), stiffed lawyers, contractors, business associates, didn't really have a lot of friends and was basically considered a crude, embarrassing, quick to make scene if it got him any attention, laughingstock to all that knew about him, and now there is a certain slice of America that believes him and no one else. They don't believe the news, they don't believe our intelligence agencies (because they are guilty of doing their jobs investigating criminal activity), they don't believe academia, they don't believe our allies (but they believe Kim, Vlad, Duterte and Erdogan), they believe Trump and only those that support Trump 100%. If it wasn't so fucking sad it would be hilarious.
 
Do you think the FBI or the DOJ did anything wrong in the handling of the Clinton E-mail and the handling of classified info?
How about the pre-election illegal investigating of the Trump campaign?
How about strozk and page's texts?
How about the leaks by comey, clapper and brennan?

I think we are dealing with Rodents " Beer " brother.....the lack of
common sense or basic reasoning is appalling....

ODESSA, TEXAS (Reuters) - Job fairs are stocked with people hungry for better opportunities, but inside the MCM Grande Hotel in Odessa, Texas, oil services giant Halliburton is the one doing the wooing.

“We need to hire you is our message,” said Chris Redman, a field services manager with Summit ESP, which Halliburton acquired last year.

More than 500 men and women flocked to the hotel in Odessa, Texas, on a Thursday last month to be courted by Halliburton, which needs people to handle everything from oilfield technicians to truck drivers, as oil production booms and qualified workers become more scarce.

The U.S. unemployment rate is 3.9 percent, just off an 18-year low, but job growth has slowed more recently - notably because companies are having trouble finding people.

That is particularly true in the oilfields of West Texas, where workers from local towns like Midland and Odessa have flocked to the oil industry for higher pay. According to a June Dallas Federal Reserve Bank survey of 60 oil executives operating in West Texas, more than half cited difficulty finding workers as a potential drag on growth.

Halliburton, the second largest provider of oilfield services after Schlumberger, is adding more than 175 jobs a month, hiring executives say. Redman said people with commercial drivers' licenses are in particular demand, but numerous attendees at the jobs fair do not have that license.
