A minor part of the Permanent Government of the democrat party.

The socialist/communist/liberals are entrenching themselves into the unelected federal bureaucracy making themselves immune to any Republican electoral victory.

That is how they stay in permanent power in Europe, never able to be ousted in elections.

"their numbers are growing at a rapid rate under the Democratic Congress."

It is shocking that this sentence was included in a Politico article. I suspect editors are being beaten heavily about the head and shoulders, as we speak.

That is just wrong...I suppose if you extrapolate that across the 50 states it is a big number. No wonder we are going down the tubes.
