#1 I ran into DEEP STATE today. So allow me to try to paint the picture...

A friend and I came up with an idea and decided to patent it. I read a 700 page book on how to patent it yourself and so I created the best patent I could possibly come up with from the DIY manual.

But since this was our first patent and since I live in a major city that has a patent office I decided to go there today to get them to make sure at the very least I filled out the right forms.

Entrada. Two security guards with enough weapons on them stop a Putin invasion of the city. And they demanded an ID too, after I passed the metal detector test. They pointed to a glass door where a guy was setting behind a desk and said "He's the patent guy."

I walk in and he says you are in the right place buy I can answer no questions because I am SECURITY. I replied thought these two other guys were security. He said I am patent security. He says I will call a person from upstairs to answer your questions. A lady shows up and I start to go over the forms with her and she immediately says, "I can't answer your questions, I am just the girl upstairs." So I try to simplify and I ask a very simple question about form 1. She says, "Let me go find an answer." 30 minutes later she has fallen in the toilet or something I guess so I found the answer on the internet with my phone and told the guy who is to do nothing but set there and stair at the two security people working only 30 feet away to tell her never mind.

DEEP STATE! It is so frightening to behold.

#2 Oh, and the third security guy demanded my ID too and I swear he looked at it for a good 20 minutes. I guess he had nothing better to do.

#3 HS - the truth is that we should deport the illegal aliens, eliminate the positions for the people you encountered, and each of these people should be doing jobs that the illegal aliens do, at a vastly lower income than what their government sinecure pays.

But the Democrats have created literally millions of easy, well-paid, anxiety-free and metric-free "jobs" like theirs in order to bribe them into being loyal Democrat voters. The recent election in Virginia is the result of people like the ones you encountered in the patent office voting in an absolute panic to keep their magic paychecks. If the continuation of their magic paychecks harms you or the nation, oh well.

#4 Proving once again that you don't have to be particularly gifted to recognize totalitarianism, but it helps in the telling.

After 8 long years of the Soetoro regime, I'm shocked and amazed the US Patent Office and the formal documentation of American exceptionalism still exists!

Excellent contributions in 1-3 above.

Ya mean elections are still rigged and sold and bought?

#6 Don't tell me.....but, it was a 'gun free zone' (or one of those No Firearms posting at the front door)?

#7 The JFK building in downtown Boston (Federal building) is a 'gun-free zone'. Security actually confiscated a small baseball bat I had in my briefcase when I went to the IRS office there a few years ago.

I felt like saying - 'Yes, I'm going to beat the refund out of the IRS agent!'

#8 Did you tell security that you were going to use the little baseball bat to kill he yourself depending on how badly things went?

#9 Gorb - nah - they were serious as hell. Like that's going to intimidate me.

Although I admit - I do pick fights with the IRS agents about half the time, just because I like antagonizing them and /or it's pushback whenever they start getting officious or just acting like jerks. They love pushing people around but I'll be damned if they pull that shit on a CPA.

I was walking in a few late tax returns and the mini baseball bat was a little gift from the same guy. I didn't even give it a second thought until these guys told me 'We cant' allow weapons into this building'. Really - that's a weapon?
