A lot of FReepers who aren’t averse to kooky conspiracy theories have refused to believe that the State Department functions unto itself.
Even Reagan wouldn’t take om the State Department directly, and I doubt President Trump’s full plate will allow him to either. That’s why it’s important that Trump supporters not simply return to their usual non-political lives when this election is over. “The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance.”
And do you know who wants Secretary of State , if Illery is elected ?
Michael Bloomberg ( A/K/A :" Mr Sensitivity ")
I did security for the Anti-American State Dept for 4.5 years, in Baghdad. While there might be a very small handful of ‘lifers’ that aren’t outright Socialist, Radical Progressives, Communists, Fascists, etc, I challenge anyone to find them, except for some of the DSS folks and techs. Other than that, they hate all that America stands for.
They graduate from the “Good Schools”, get hooked up with jobs by their families or friends and head to overseas assignments, most of which are inSocialist, Communist, etc countries. There, they learn to like how powerful the government is and how powerful members of government are. All the time, living off the US taxpayer, having the times of their lives, partying like rock stars.
With your formative years like that, after 4+ years of your college professors telling you how much America sucks, what should we expect.
If that is what constitutes the State Dept, how does anyone think anything gets done. The Left wants and needs the chaos that is going on, as it gives them a reason to sound needed and important. But, these very same civil servants wouldn’t lift a finger to help Reagan, Bush, or, God willing, Trump. He’ll have to purge the entire agency.
When he talks about the disastrous trade deals we have, who the hell do you think negotiates them? The Sharks from Wall St, that have been dispatched to make sure it benefits America? Nope. It’s State Dept folks with degrees in “economics’ and “political science” that don’t know their asses from a hole in the wall, never having a ‘real job’, doing the bidding of the big time donors of the Left...Buffett, Soros, GS, Citi, Steyer
Have Trump cut the funding and streamline it, hiring “contractors(i.e. the Sharks from Wall St)” to negotiate the trade deals and things just might change. Remember when this started, how he talked about the people that he would send to negotiate these deals? Something along the lines of...You wouldn’t invite any of these guys to your house for dinner, but you could trust them to negotiate a good deal.
