HA! I've seen this movie so many times, and actually wrote some of the
scripts. The main fool and one of his lesser demons avoided speaking or
looking at me, so there is that. I live rent-free in their heads, fun!
I did speak to the other one who was there, he is a compromised fool
too, but he is somewhat sociable.
This new Chairman is in our sights, we got the former one ejected so our
next project is to expose this one too. It is fun, he did himself no
favors the other night, and actively insulted members of the community.
It was quite bizarre. But I had to say nothing after my pre-agitation
and getting a good turnout there of a bunch of primed citizens who did
their own bit of mau-mauing. One of my buddies got some heckling
started too so that was kinda fun. He got a directed insult from the
Chairman too, so that was a score.
I spoke to the woman who is the road project manager after the meeting,
thanked her for coming out and getting beat up a bit, she kinda laughed
and said no problem then thanked me for working to get the turnout
there, "that was you doing that, right?" with a bit of a grin... Who
me? No ma'am, not at all... why might you think that?

I have given up on even paying much attention to the national
political antics, nothing I can do about it so not worth getting
worked up about. I focus on our local issues, the fools are much
more accessible. The other night there was a community meeting
about a road project, the woman who is the County project manager
gave an overview of the project, what to expect, etc. Then of
course the POed people in the room started in on her, at which
point the County Council chairman, who is a raging a**h*** got the
mikafone and proceeded to berate the citizens, which Did Not Go
Over Well with many of them, who became quite vociferous in their
disregard for him. There were 2 other Council members there too,
who managed to keep a low profile while this fool took the heat
that he turned up.
You couldn't do that with the national administration functionaries.

No I knew about it having been a swamp what I honestly don't
understand is who they thought would be qualified to work on

carpenter from Des Moines? Health and Human Services could be
a Physician's Assistant from Duluth?
Of course they're insiders, those are the people who
understand how big organizations work. As I said before its
just a new bunch of idjits to replace the old bunch of idjits.
I'm not suggesting its good or bad, just different and maybe
kind of interesting.

Without diving into politics, the District of Columbia
was/is on a swamp if you weren’t aware of this. The phrase
“Drain the swamp” simply refers to removing all the allegedly
(don’t go there, Curley!) “crooked” politicians and “good old
boys” in order to bring in new people who would be fresh blood
and not part of the “Washington establishment”.
This is not a political comment, just a clarification of a
statement, so let’s not turn it into one, please.
And Curt, if you already understood all this, my apologies for
misunderstanding your statements and mansplaining.
