Deep state? Or state of mind?

I will equivocate. The deep state is just a state of mind. The D.C. state of mind. "Far out man!" While I have not been in the company budgetary process directly, I have been asked to spend unnecessary funds. In the public and private sector.
Looking for ways to waste public funds just to justify the means is meaningless. But that is only part of the hatred for the ways Washington works. The "rules" of decorum is another. Yes the current POTUS is not an insider. That was part of his appeal right? Trying a smash and grab, take the money and run approach to progress is the wrong way.
Many court rulings, so far, have gone against the administration. The legal process and congressional "action" makes me wonder if they can use some quantitative easing. More new rules?
Another symptom of the deep state of mind is how politicians communicate. In the beginning it was partisan truth. Regional representatives voicing real concerns. Then slowly and methodically turned into hidden obfuscated motives for personal concerns. Now it's just straight up lying for the party. Throwing yourself on your sword. Yes, both sides. I won't lie.
I hope we can find our way back to a collective orgasm of stately debate and discourse. When we get rid of the orgasm, we become boring. Holding the party line is not progress. Lying is not progress. Today it seems like there is a Deep State. With lawyers telling us the truth is not the truth. And telling us you will be able to keep your doctor. Unfortunately he didn't say you'd have to pay for services yourself.
Don't get me started on the media.
