The term “shadow government” is not a construct of critics; it’s actually the term the professional bureaucrats within the 7th floor of the Washington DC based Department of State gave to themselves (link)
The career political operatives who reign within the State Department openly view themselves as a distinctly separate state governing authority, with no attachment to the policies or objectives of the United States presidency or any mere elected official therein.
For years this group has considered themselves “the untouchables”.
They live a life of high financed indulgence including: massive expense accounts, chartered airline travel, swanky cocktail parties, expense chauffeurs to take their kids to private school, seasonally designed home decor – appointed by only the very best interior designers, personal security to keep the commoners away, tickets to the best venues and reserved seating at elite DC restaurants.
With first rights to the budget expenditures, the 7th floor group finds no indulgence too extravagant for their intellectual elitism. They demand nothing but the finest because they are the most worthy of the DC professionally privileged – who are more equal than others; and after all, their jobs require them to host and visit like-minded diplomats, and celebrities with exclusive tastes from around the world.
Today, this elite crew collectively choked on their crust-less triangle sandwiches:
WASHINGTON DC – […] Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed.

Wow, I had no idea their lives were THAT decadent. Sickening.
Well, its a been a 70-year job in the making.
GIVE US THEIR NAMES
out them all so we can track where they go (cockroaches scatter once found, after all)
Why am I getting a mental image of a cartoon character with an Acme box of TNT, pumping it just as it goes “kaboom!”?
The more I read about Rex Tillerson, the man, the more impressed I have become. If you haven’t yet read the story about him written by the young woman who served on a jury with him, I urge you to read it. It reveals a lot about this man’s character.
“For years this group has considered themselves “the untouchables”.
Otherwise they’re getting fired. Delicious!
I agree. . .
PS. . . As taxpayers we are (were) their employers.
MAGA!! Drain the swamp!!
only 799,000 non-essentials to go
This needs to be very public so they can’t run back into the shadows and so they can’t do something to take these brave swamp-drainers down in the manner in which they usually accomplish such things.
And I’m sure The “Great” One is still railing against him.
Another PS
How much $$$$ including perks does this all add up to. I want to know.

Mark Levin SHREDS pro-Putin, global warming alarmist Rex Tillerson (Pros, Cons??)

Tuesday evening on the radio, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin addressed the announcement that Exxon-Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of state.
Levin said that the choice of Rex Tillerson ranks among the “worst” of Trump’s Cabinet picks
Neutron Rex!
Kills the deadwood, but leaves the Department intact.
Why would you try to wage war with your boss who actually applied to get “you’re fired” trademarked?
“Never Trump” Mark Levin said that? That Mark Levin?
