This can be a benign force for a limited period of time until it becomes, like all bureaucracies, dug in and self-aggrandizing.

Or,

it can become like the whiz kids that surrounded Franklin Roosevelt and did generations worth of mischief

So only negative outcomes are conceivable?

So only negative outcomes are conceivable? I thought I said, "This can be a benign force" so it is not fair of you to play games with words.

It is not what is "conceivable" but what is constitutional, conservative, prudent, likely. These people want and intend to wield power over us. We have a Constitution to protect us against exactly that, a federal government exercising powers beyond its mandate. We have history to tell us about entrenched bureaucracies. We have history to tell us about unaccountable arms of government.

We have a recent campaign in which everyone who was not Trump-correct was labeled a globalist and a slave of Goldman Sachs.

That was then, this is now.

How dystopian and stuff. I think Trump will be viewed historically, looking back years or decades from now, as the greatest president this country ever had. His changes and business-model innovations and institutions will outlive us all, and the country will be the better for it for the coming century at least.

In my humble, uneducated opinion.

I’m sure it hasn’t slipped your notice that your logon rendered backwards is “nogras.” I have no idea what that means in Matabele.

Kushner is a liberal demonrat, isn’t he?

He works for Satan. No good will come of this.
