A top staffer in the federal agency overseeing personnel for the Trump administration has denounced the US strikes on Iran as “pointless” and suggested the decision was made by members of DC’s “deep state.”
Andrew Kloster, who serves as general counsel at the Office of Personnel Management, tweeted — and then deleted — a string of posts ripping the US for having sent “handouts” to Israel in the past and for previously downplaying the threat of Tehran getting a nuclear weapon.
Within a half-hour of President Trump announcing successful US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday night, Kloster wrote on X, “I apologize and will never again doubt the power of the deep state.”

Never heard of this guy. But he's a top staffer in the Personnel Management Department of the Federal Government. Seriously, a real expert in the field of Iran's nuclear materials.

OPM... IOW, he's a typical Demwit lawyer career bureaucrat who seemed appropriately far out of the loop, until he made it obvious that he should be asking the customers, "do you wantr fries with that?"
“What the hell were you thinking? Dumbass!”
Quote from this joker’s wife, about 6 hours ago
Trump’s lawyers all suck.
He needs to be fired yesterday. Go President Trump.
That's the way its been since trump came on the scene. The lawyers VS the businessman. They hate the fact that a businessman has the Presidency. THAT belongs to them....or so they think.
CLEAN OUT YOUR DESK, DUMMY.
Time for Kloster to have his employment terminated.
Should be. This guy has been an unstable loose cannon since the start.
Is he a leftover from the previous administration? Either way, he’s toast; probably leftover toast.
The fact that you agree with this leftist turncoat says more about you than anything else.
Next job will be the burn detail. Cut in half 55 gallon drums full.
Likely. But let’s not pretend that a significant number of people on this site argued the same about the deep state from 17-21.

I operate by logic
If you can connect your post to anything I asked or said let me know.
Waste of time
“Kloster, who is now responsible for advising the government’s H.R. department, has a long history of racist and sexist online comments and social media posts.In a [2012] response to a post on The Volokh Conspiracy legal blog, as reported by
The Daily Beast, Kloster wrote, ‘Consent is probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish.’ He also has written online [in 2023] that ‘Slaves owe us reparations.’ In 2023 ... he tweeted, ‘I need a woman who looks like she got punched.’”
A deep state lawyer bureaucrat that just happens to be a civil service holdover is not exactly a "Top Trump official".
Also he is probably nowhere near what we would consider to be an expert on the subject. Just an opinionated jackass that will be fired by the end of today.
If you’re dumb enough to question whether the deep state exerts influence on Trump but too dumb to acknowledge a clear example of that influence I can’t help you.
That doesn’t answer the question
Calling people dumb in an ad hominem attack on a fellow creeper instead of explaining how your post of some obscure reference to some future NATO commander - does not answer the question
Stop wasting my time
