"...fire ANYBODY not on-board with America FIRST!"

"...need to be deconstructed and rebuilt."

Yes. Deprecate them all today. Review, hold, replace, etc as needed. But downsize to the level below the amount he wanted their budget cut. It's his decision how to run the exec function, regardless the amount of money the fountainous Congress appropriates.

Then it is time for the Bannon / Trump duo to have their Hilkiah / Josiah moment. To the appropriately large fanfare:

"Glory... we've found the 10th Amendment!... it was behind Hillary's FBI files.

So... starting tomorrow, in light of this re-discovery and quite in line with America First, we are rebuilding the Constitution's wall!"

Then fill the increasingly empty chairs at the State Dept with volunteers and draftees of the newest cabinet level function: The Dept of States.

Governors are drafted and can proxy. Volunteer legal experts appointed.

And the two departments are not equal. One is First. The other is the State Dept.

The Council on Foreign Relations ...
**************************************
Where does the Constitution establish that council?

It’s just another wasteful bureaucratic function that needs to be dissolved. State, Defense and Intelligence heads don’t need them to make decisions.

George Schultz discovered the exact same problem when he came in as SOS under Reagan. A popular story circulating at the time was that new State Department recruits were required to stop by his office for a brief one on one.

Schultz had a globe on his desk and asked them to point out the country they would be representing on their first post. Inevitably, they pointed out where they would be posted and Schultz would thunder "No, goddamit! The country you will be representing is this one (pointing to the United States) and don't you ever forget it!"

We are in great need of a similar housecleaning now.

The US Department of State is not on the side of the citizens and the Republic of the United States. We NEED to make war on it.

“DOS made an unsuccessful coup against Trump. It’s ground zero for government corruption and has been for years.”

Turkey has THOUSANDS of civil servants who decided that they didn’t like their present government. The government there has been jailing them for the past year without charges...letting them cool their heels a bit.

While I cannot stand the government of Turkey, I have to say that perhaps they can give us a few pointers regarding how to neutralize our Deep State.
