governator

As in the way of The Hit BlockBuster,

The Terminator

in which Arnold Schwarzenegger played the evil robot that helped destroy a civilization, then went good in the sequel, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been elected for Governor of California.

As the Governor, Mr. Schwarzenegger hopes to reenact his role by destroying the state of california, then rebuilding it when he is re elected, for his stunning 10-pack abs. People will hten recognize him as the hero, but for now hes just...

US government

The government of the United States of America.

The US government is "owned" by the civilian population of the United States, and they have the right to voice their opinions without consequences from the government.
There are three branches of the US government, from lowest to highest in power:
Local Government (run by a mayor)
State Government (run by a governor)
Federal Government (run by a president)
All three of these levels of government work together (sometimes; it depends) for certain purposes, such as involving taxes and how taxes can be used for various services. For example, the local and state governments work together, often, to create local services, like schools, police departments, and hospitals. The federal government, on the other hand, is rife with countless services and agencies, with enough power to serve the entire nation and other nations.

When one thinks of the US government, they usually think of the federal government, which is, as mentioned, the highest level of government.

The US government has been bashed time and time again concerning its true purpose. The US government does have certain secrets, but the US government is better than any other government if you stop and think about it. The US government is run by bureaucrats, not thugs (all kinds of nations think our government is evil and gone mad).

Although it is entirely your opinion, hear mine : THE US GOVERNMENT IS NOT EVIL.
"The US government is not evil like everyone says. Compared to other governments, we are just a bunch of mindless bureaucrats, not oppressive nazis or fascists or imperialists. Government agents, although a few may have agendas, are merely doing there jobs (hence the word "bureaucrat). Like one guy described the definition of government, the government just wants to be your friend....lol silly-sounding I guess. But it's said to be a well-known fact that you should NOT trust the government. Now after hearing that, I am confused."

AP Government

A class that you either pass or fail. You will learn a lot, but you will forget eveything you learned the next year, because the class goes by so fast. No matter how hard you study, you will not get higher than a C+
Our whole class got 3's on the AP Government exam, because we didn't study for 12 hours.

government

Currently, a body of people charged with the administration of a given society, who may claim to be official and legitimate—and who think they take action in the public interest—but who are, in fact, not genuinely official, as they hold office at the whim of public mood; certainly not legitimate, as they authorize action contrary to life and the laws of nature; and generally not public-spirited, as they frequently ignore the concept of the common good in their deliberations.
The chief executive of the US federal government lied to US citizens and the world to start a war for the interests of a certain few business entities and perhaps his own low self-esteem, and with the complicity of the US Congress, systematically murdered many thousands of people in the pursuit of freedom and democracy for those people and brought international disrespect toward his own nation, and promulgated more violence in an already troubled world.
