Just a few of the agencies that bucked Trump:

DOJ
FBI
CDC
EPA
State
DOD
CIA

Many of these agencies willfully broke the law in doing so, knowing that with the DOJ working against Trump, there would be no consequences.

Large parts of the bureaucracy have escaped control of the elected government.

Just take one moment and place yourself in a federal employees position...they have gauranteed income/insurance/pension for their WHOLE life...do not have to produce a single thing except filing paperwork and if they feel like it answer a phone . They know before hand whats coming down the pipe and can implement it if its in their best interest , if not slow mode and a bevy of excuses....these are the rats that are unionized and undermining our republic . Fauci being the biggest example along with every other bitch or bastard that are godless self-serving types...WHY would they allow anything to interupt the gravy train ?

He became a cross between Colonel Sanders, Walt Disney and Howard Hughes, and that’s when I didn’t renew my Blaze subscription. Instead of turning his network into the next Fox News, he had to fire almost everyone in his company, sell his house, and effectively start over again. I still like him, don’t get me wrong, and i still enjoy seeing him in clips and on TV, but the subscription ship has sailed for me.

6 % of the District of Criminals voted for Trump. That is all you need to know.

I gots to know...what exactly did Ben Carson DO in 4 years as HUD secretary? Did he overturn ANY Odunga directive?

Did he fire ANY leftist holdover? Did he drain his own gosh darned swamp ? If not, Did Trump really make America great again? Did he accomplish ANYTHING? Or just delay the inevitable?

Say what you will about Beck, he does very good interviews, asks good questions and good follow up questions, and gives the interviewee time to respond without stepping on them. For the most part, it seems he also does pretty extensive prep for his interviews.

This is why I don’t agree with term limits for our elected officials. With your congressman, at least you have some choice. You know who to call

Did anyone ever subject the above permanent bureaucrats to an election? To regular scrutiny? These people ARE the deep state

Put term limits on upper level bureaucrats and government programs instead.

Ben Carson On the Issues
https://www.ontheissues.org/Cabinet/Ben_Carson_Gun_Control.htm

Appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio show this past week, Carson took a vastly different stance from most conservatives on the issue of gun control, claiming you shouldn’t be able to own semi-automatic weapons in large cities.
Asked by Beck for his thoughts on the Second Amendment, Carson gave the popular pro-gun argument: “There’s a reason for the Second Amendment; people do have the right to have weapons.”

But when asked whether people should be allowed to own “semi-automatic weapons,” the doctor replied: “It depends on where you live. I think if you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it,” Carson elaborated. However, if you live “out in the country somewhere by yourself” and want to own a semi-automatic weapon, he added, “I’ve no problem with that.”

The District of Columbia was intentionally made a Federal District, not a state, for this very reason. The Founding Fathers realized they would always vote to centralize power to themselves.

I knew it had to be big, because of all they get away with. But I must admit it is bigger than I think anyone on the outside imagined it was as big as it apparently is.

I agree. I like Glenn, and think he’s a good person and great broadcaster. I hate when hosts interrupt the guest, too, and I don’t think anyone does more research for things than Glenn.

"Fortunately for the millions of Americans who receive some form of housing subsidy, few of Carson’s initiatives have been successful. Each of the four budget requests was vehemently rejected by Congress, and HUD’s programs have received funding comparable to recent history."

In other words, he didn't clean house in his building, CONgress backstabbed him, and the Swamp likely grew. FAILURE.
