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.
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.

Ping...
The US Dept. of State (Foggy Bottom) has been one of the most anti-American federal departments for as long as I can remember and I am in my 9th decade.
Paging AG Sessions. Paging AG Sessions. These reprehensible assclowns need to be prosecuted for malfeasance and fraud waste and misuse of tax dollars. I know the type. Kinda like a sanctioned elite club that is much haughtier than john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry. Now THAT is haughty.
Good!
Draining the swamp starts at the State Department. It is a cesspool of malcontents and anarchists.
Its a good start but there are at least one more level down that needs to go to ensure the cancer is completely removed.
...and how many days has T-Rex been in office...???
In cases such as the leakers they are looking for I’d like to see prosecutions with the potential for jail time and loss of pensions.
Here’s to deconstructing in VERY tiny pieces - more difficult to put together again (Humpty Dumpty)
Hint: Consider crushing pieces with the heel of your boot
The Trumpnado and T-Rex taking Washington by storm...MAGA in progress.
I think we are going to be for some ‘fire works’ very shortly...
Stories like this warm my heart.
Sure does take away the crap the ‘very fake news’ is putting out doesn’t it...ROFL!!!
Here’s the thing-Trump is honest. If he weren’t, if he had an incident as far back as having done someone wrong on a paper route in 1955, we’d have heard about it from the candy crowleys, but we haven’t.
Trump is honest the way people are who look at every detail, and who hire only people who won’t ever lie to him. It’s why, at probably the urging not to do so, of many, for the political considerations, Flynn had to go.
In this way, Trump needs to know all the details of what’s going on at the State dept, so they tell him. It has to be very unpleasant, to say the least. He’ll spare us the details while firing an entire division
The day, the September 11th, 2012, when our government, including all of the sniveling republicans and the privy-to-classified-information Romney and Ryan, allowed the Obama administration to let Hillary and her state department minions to not only get away with what happened at the Benghazi outpost, a State Department enclave - the killing of our ambassador in country, but then to apologize for it as a country, that day was the end of our being able to trust any politician - whether we know it or not.
It was an ultimate dishonor. Our ambassador was killed in country. Our State Department blamed our bigotry. People don’t seem to understand the significance of that.
The civically ignorant media, including conservative pundits. They do seem to know it on a primal level. That event needs to be rectified and placed in our national memory correctly. It’s won’t go away. Getting rid of those people who continued this culture at State is a step. Tge republicans should have done it by now. Romney should have done this four years ago, and it is why he is where he is.
Trump will always get rid of corruption where he can that’s all he needs to do to make America great again- just take out of power those who take advantage of us.
What’s the difference between th “deep state” and “shadow government”?
If you look up ‘deep state’ and read it, and then look up ‘shadow government’ you should get your answers...
It sounds like John Bolton could come to State as #2, and do some serious ass kicking!
It's worse than that, actually - these people have little or no ideological attachment to the country for which they are ostensibly working, and that is certainly paying them. Having a coherent foreign policy that bridges elected administrations is not a bad thing in itself. It offers a certain stability to the country's stance that is based on the comprehension of an overall plan: Kennan's Containment Plan comes to mind, spanning some ten or so administrations.
But common to that particular case was a conviction that the overall goal was that the United States should prevail. That commitment does not, apparently, inform the 7th floor clique; on the contrary, what informs it is the conviction that they transcend their country's interests in the interest of some Greater Good. The result is such bloody absurdities as the "Arab Spring" which is still causing upheaval within the Middle East, support for forced, uncontrolled demographic change that is the current passion of internationalists, and a policy of redistribution of wealth across national borders that has never been put to a vote in a single one of its intended donor countries. Such ideals belong in the keeping of private opinion, not public policy. That isn't their job.
