Good Article on Deep State

[Weatherman2020]

If you think it’s illegal you report it and if nothing is done you resign.

Deep State is running a coup attempt against a legally elected President.

Why do you think Trump's own White House has seen more turnover than a fast food restaurant? Even the people willing to work for him reach a limit at some point and walk. I'm as conspiracy minded as any political junkie but this "deep state" hogwash has less factual support than UFOs and Bigfoot. There are certainly hidden agendas in the government but they have nothing to fear from Trump, he is advancing their erosion of our constitutional institutions at super speed.

You make my point. DC is infested and every time they show their true colors as in the OP Trump kicks their asses out the door. 99% of the people in DC should be fired.

The real conspiracies are wide open for all to see. Big business writing their own regulations. Crooked politicians using their office for personal gain. Wars for profit. Wall Street manipulation of the economy. There are others but it seems you find them boring and must make up scary stories that concern none of those. Defeating the rule of law would be a huge victory for the boring conspiracies.

You mean like Obama giving big corporations billions just days before they declare bankruptcy and oh, it turns out the CEO’s are Obama’s pals?

Obama was yesterday. Trump is right now. What Obama may or may not have done excuses nothing the Trump administration is doing right now. Right fucking now you deep state myth believing retard.

If you want to post about a specific case, start a thread on it.
But all you Leftards have are straw men, innuendos and slander.

By now it should be clear that when someone says "deep state" it is a code word for the rule of law. Taking an oath to defend the constitution has put a lot of people at odds with our president. He's not an absolute monarch no matter how much the right wants him to be. People in the government know that following illegal orders puts you in personal legal jeopardy. Saying they were just following orders did not save the Nazis at the war crimes tribunal and it will not save anyone who has broken the law on behalf of the president.

If you think it’s illegal you report it and if nothing is done you resign.

The turnover is a good thing, chaos is good for the country but for DC not so much... lol

The deep state is all high-level federal government employees, Accountable to nobody. Who think they are God and have hatred towards any sort of independence/freedom Of any individual who they cannot control.

The crying shame of it is that 99% of Federalis are damn good people, true American patriots who are slimed by the criminal activities of the top brass who should all be jailed on the mere presumption of graft and corruption, then let out only if they can prove they never made an extra dime off their jobs via networking.

Getting along is way overrated, The country needs to be more disagreeable for the good of the country. Fact

 

[JimBowie1958]

There is nothing more corrupt than career politicians/deep state... fact

I do not believe that a Professional Political Class is compatible with democracy for a free people.

The Professional Political Class invariably becomes corrupt, and the instruments of an Oligarchy that then use it to impose their will and interests on the public, and against the interests and will of the People.

We should have term limits, ban all political contributions, and anyone that is caught in corruption as an elected official should be put against a wall and shot in the back of the head.

 

[Uncensored2008]

You think facts are a product of imagination?
You clearly are an avid follower of CNN.

For Dems there is only truthiness as they do not hold to the concept of Objective Truth today.

Facts are merely those data points that fit into their truthy narrative.

Exactly right. The agenda drives the story. Facts are either found or fabricated to further the agenda. This is the age of the "Activist Press."

In private industry you have two options: go with the orders and resign. You can tell your boss you don’t like it, but it still gets down to those two options. The word NO is not tolerated and you’ll be out the door if you use it.


“The “deep state”—if we are to use the term—is better defined as consisting of career civil servants, who have growing power in the administrative state but work in the shadows. As government grows, so do the challenges of supervising a bureaucracy swelling in both size and power. Emboldened by employment rules that make it all but impossible to fire career employees, this internal civil “resistance” has proved willing to take ever more outrageous actions against the president and his policies, using the tools of both traditional and social media.

Government-employed resisters received a call to action within weeks of the new administration. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates became acting attorney general on Mr. Trump’s inauguration and Loretta Lynch’s resignation. A week later, the president signed an executive order restricting travel from seven Middle Eastern and African countries. Ms. Yates instructed Justice Department lawyers not to defend the order in court on the grounds that she was not convinced it was “consistent” with the department’s “responsibilities” or even “lawful.” She decreed: “For as long as I am Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order.”

Mr. Trump fired her that day, but he shouldn’t have had to. Her obligation was to defend the executive order, or to resign if she felt she couldn’t. Nobody elected Sally Yates.

The Yates memo was the first official act of the internal resistance—not only a precedent but a rallying cry. Subordinates fawningly praised her in emails obtained by Judicial Watch. “You are my new hero,” wrote one federal prosecutor. Another department colleague emailed: “Thank you AG Yates. I’ve been in civil/appellate for 30 years and have never seen an administration with such contempt for democratic values and the rule of law.” Andrew Weissmann—a career department lawyer, then head of the Criminal Fraud Division and later on the staff of special counsel Robert Mueller—wrote: “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much.” Ms. Yates set an example to rebels throughout the government: If she can defy the president, why can’t I?

That mentality fed the stream of leaks that has flowed ever since.”

Opinion | Whistleblowers and the Real Deep State

The problem with this OpEd is that in a private company is that the rules can change under new leadership, that is not the case with the government for the most part.

Every government employee takes this oath of Office...“I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

Notice there is nothing in it about blind obedience to the president, just the Constitution. The actions of the government employees are guided by the rules and regulations put forth by Congress and most do not change with a new president.

They take an oath that they violate on day one. When the CIA embedded a spy in the office of the President to dig dirt on him, that spy knew that he was violating the law, the Constitution, international law, and in fact committing an act of war against the United States. But the desire to overturn the decision of the American People in 2016, to PROVE that the deep state alone runs this country, was more important to this traitor than any oath.

You have a very active imagination

Bumbling Bolshevik, you failed to answer my question and instead crawled back to your gutter: Did the mole Adam Schiff placed in the office of the President violate his oath? Yes or no?

There was no fucking mole, that is just more conspiracy bullshit that you have fallen for. It is no different than the Trump colluded with Russia bullshit.

You are the identical twin to all those that think that Trump colluded with Russia.

You make my point. DC is infested and every time they show their true colors as in the OP Trump kicks their asses out the door. 99% of the people in DC should be fired.

The real conspiracies are wide open for all to see. Big business writing their own regulations. Crooked politicians using their office for personal gain. Wars for profit. Wall Street manipulation of the economy. There are others but it seems you find them boring and must make up scary stories that concern none of those. Defeating the rule of law would be a huge victory for the boring conspiracies.

You mean like Obama giving big corporations billions just days before they declare bankruptcy and oh, it turns out the CEO’s are Obama’s pals?

Obama was yesterday. Trump is right now. What Obama may or may not have done excuses nothing the Trump administration is doing right now. Right fucking now you deep state myth believing retard.

Lol
There would be no trump if there was no Obama… karma is a bitch

Think for a second what it would be like if Trump somehow wins his war on the "deep state". The president will be above the law while in office and any impeachment threat can be treated like treason. Your stupid ass belongs in an absolute monarchy but the rest of us are going to fight for a country where the president fears to cross the line.

Deep State is running a coup attempt against a legally elected President.

The. Congress of the United States is impeaching a criminal and corrupt politician who is abusing the power of his office to corruptly and illegally attack his political opponents, in violation of the Constitution of the United States. As such, this Constitutionally mandated process is hardly comparable to an illegal “coup”.

Those attempting to pretend this process is improper or that Congress has no authority to do so, should be sat in a room and forced to read the Constitution and the Federalust papers. None of which were ever read by Trump.

Horse shit.

That is the Wokester narrative to justify 'impeaching' a President while not allowing him due process like every prior impeachment did, even the crazy Radical Republicans gave due process to Johnson.

The current Pelosi 'inquiry' is UnConstitutional, unbalanced and UnAmerican.

I’ve been in civil/appellate for 30 years and have never seen an administration with such contempt for democratic values and the rule of law.” Andrew Weissmann—a career department lawyer, then head of the Criminal Fraud Division and later on the staff of special counsel Robert Mueller—wrote: “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much.” Ms. Yates set an example to rebels throughout the government: If she can defy the president, why can’t I?

That mentality fed the stream of leaks that has flowed ever since.”

Opinion | Whistleblowers and the Real Deep State

The problem with this OpEd is that in a private company is that the rules can change under new leadership, that is not the case with the government for the most part.

Every government employee takes this oath of Office...“I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

Notice there is nothing in it about blind obedience to the president, just the Constitution. The actions of the government employees are guided by the rules and regulations put forth by Congress and most do not change with a new president.

They take an oath that they violate on day one. When the CIA embedded a spy in the office of the President to dig dirt on him, that spy knew that he was violating the law, the Constitution, international law, and in fact committing an act of war against the United States. But the desire to overturn the decision of the American People in 2016, to PROVE that the deep state alone runs this country, was more important to this traitor than any oath.

You have a very active imagination

Bumbling Bolshevik, you failed to answer my question and instead crawled back to your gutter: Did the mole Adam Schiff placed in the office of the President violate his oath? Yes or no?

There was no fucking mole, that is just more conspiracy bullshit that you have fallen for. It is no different than the Trump colluded with Russia bullshit.

You are the identical twin to all those that think that Trump colluded with Russia.
