A Comment from a Politician I Know
From a Politician I Know
COMMENT: When I started as a commissioner, I remember hearing the same term over and over, “staff recommends,” and I remember thinking of course you do. It’s self-serving.
I eliminated that here.
I am part of numerous boards and committees within the county and state, and I have found out they are just a sham and too lazy to do the work, and that’s why they go with what “staff recommends.”
Even though there’s usually a nice lunch provided I still question why the heck do we even meet when the tail is wagging the dog.
REPLY: This is so true. This is the real swamp. In medieval times, the king was in his castle. There was the typical moat around the castle. What they tend to not explain is that there were no sewers. The waste went down a shoot or pipe and into the moat. Getting through that moat to reach the king must have taken a lot of courage.
Today, the actual DEEP STATE is the gatekeepers who are the modern-day moat. Both RFK and Trump already have theirs. Good luck in getting through that moat. I am not sure you can fight the DEEP STATE when just another incantation surrounds you acting in its self-interest.
