    Aka... The civil service. Seems everybody knew there was a civil service though?

    The brits had an excellent show called Yes Minister and the Yes Prime Minister which showed how senior civil servants actually kept the system on an even keel over the decades.

    If Mar a Lago were offered for sale at 18 million dollars like the biased judge states, I would consider buying it as I would be able to flip it for hundreds of millions of dollars.

    ALAN DERSHOWITZ: The Trump Indictment Fails The Nixon Test

    https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/03/...ictment-fails-the-nixon-test-alan-dershowitz/
    Indeed, this indictment itself fails to meet the standard of honesty that it requires of Donald Trump. In describing his speech of Jan. 6, this is what it says: “Finally, after exhorting that ‘we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,’ the defendant directed the people in front of him to head to the Capitol, suggested he was going with them, and told them to give members of Congress ‘the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.’”



    Yet the indictment omits two key words from that speech — “peacefully” and “patriotically” — which suggest that the speech itself was protected advocacy under the First Amendment rather than unlawful incitement. A lie by omission is as serious as a lie by commission, especially in the context of a legal document such as an indictment.

    The country was run quite a bit better and American's needs were served better when Trump was president. However, it did not run well for The Deep State like it does now.

    We might have made a contribution to society today. After seeing this I said "ring wing" to a friend who has a lot of followers and now on BBC.com..

    Edit... Sadly no. It was too much to hope :)

    "William F. Buckley Jr. coined the term "ring wing" of the Republican party meaning far right extremists in the 1950s. Buckley was the founder and editor of the conservative magazine National Review, and he used the term to describe a faction of the Republican Party that he believed was too extreme and too willing to compromise with communism.

    The term "ring wing" was originally used more broadly to describe any far-right group, but it eventually became specifically associated with the Republican Party. In the 1960s and 1970s, the term was used to describe supporters of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, who were both seen as being on the far-right of the Republican Party.

    Today, the term "ring wing" is used to describe the most conservative and extreme elements of the Republican Party. These individuals often hold views that are outside of the mainstream of American politics, and they may be opposed to immigration, abortion, and gun control.

    Here is an example of Buckley using the term "ring wing" in a 1964 article in National Review:

    "The ring wing of the Republican Party, which has been so influential in the Goldwater movement, has nothing to offer the American people but a return to the isolationism, the McCarthyism, and the protectionism of the past."

    Buckley's use of the term "ring wing" was controversial at the time, but it has since become widely accepted. Today, the term is used by both conservatives and liberals to describe the most extreme elements of the Republican Party.
