Summary: P&C drink and review Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale, then discuss the deep state. Is it real? Is it a problem? Is it a shadow government, operating in place of the government we think actually runs things? Trump complained of the deep state, and at first, the left denied its existence, but then they embraced it. Now it's hurrah for the resistance! They're going to "rescue the Republic" from Trump. Does the administrative state take a jaundiced view of these "temporary men in the White house"?
