Have you heard the saying you learn something new every day? Well, I certainly did yesterday, totally by accident. How many of you have ever heard of the Plum Book? (in advance, if you have and know what it is, very good on you. If you have no idea, continue reading)
Then call it greed, not some made up 2 word bogeymen term. Smarter not harder.I'll summarize the deep state, it's GREED.
Isn't recess over? Get back to your 3rd grade class it's naptime.Then call it greed, not some made up 2 word bogeymen term. Smarter not harder.
Keep using it, then. Because you look so cool doing it.Isn't recess over? Get back to your 3rd grade class it's naptime.
The Plum Book lists about 9000 federal employees of which only 238 are direct Presidential appointments, and additional 1090 are nominated by the President but need Senate confirmation:

I love politics as many of you well know, and I constantly see in threads about the deep state. Conservatives claim it exists, while Democrats pooh-pooh the whole notion, and insist we define it and show it to them while sitting back.....very smugly I might add,,,,, as we show examples, but can never really prove how it got there, and why Trump could/did not remove it.

It appears that this "Plum Book" is actually produced by Washington DC, and even we the citizens, can purchase a copy if we wish. Very high level politicians know all about this "Plum Book," but Donald Trump had no idea when he took office. When he discovered it existence I have no idea, but he does know about it now. You have to remember that the Trump administration was fielded by mostly private sector individuals who had little clue about the ins and outs of National Politics. I can only surmise that by the time Trump and his administration discovered what the Plum Book was and its implications, it was just to late to use the power that it gave him, as it entails installing 3000, to 7000 people, and you have to have most of them ready to take over very quickly.
Now, before anyone says, "Sounds like a dictator to me," understand that BHO and his administration used this power to change most of the positions the Plum Book addresses, and for lack of a better term..........Trumps total incompetence on the issue left most of these people in place for his whole term, creating the DEEP STATE that we Conservatives speak about. Well, maybe INCOMPETENCE is to strong a descriptor, and we should change it to lack of knowledge.
So what is this Plum Book you ask, and WHY is this book so huge a deal; why does it prove the deep state as we conservatives know it, and also why does it explain DCs absolute hatred today of DJT?
I am going to post a YouTube video of about 30 min. No need to watch it all, just go to the 25 minute mark and go from there; although Conservatives may want to go back and watch the whole thing, because it explains about Democratic delegates, super delegates, 3rd party candidates, and why/how the Democrats refuse to have a primary in New Hampshire. For conservatives, it will make your eyes water. Same for middle of the road Democrats. So, go to the 25 minute mark 1st, and if learning something new about politics interests you, go back to the start.
