Leading liberals develop blueprint to expand 'deep state' and undercut Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | June 10, 2017 | Ryan Lovelace

Forlorn liberals took refuge at the American Constitution Society's national convention in Washington this week, discussing whether to encourage the growth of the "deep state" resistance inside the government or fight President Trump from outside.

"The election of Donald Trump was an assault on the federal bureaucracy," William Yeomans said to a room full of students and civil servants, including those recently displaced by Trump's administration. "His values are simply not consistent with the values of people who are committed to public service and who believe deeply in the importance of public service."

UCLA law professor Jon Michaels said he favors filling the Trump administration with liberals opposed to Trump's agenda.

"We hear a lot of language about draining the swamp and this idea about a deep state that somehow was going to thwart the intentions or the political mandate of the president," Michaels said. "I kind of embrace this notion of the ‘deep state.'"

Open discussion of communist takeover through infiltration of government at all levels from the bottom up.

I only laughed at the tree huggers thinking many people are now going to die with the new EPA appointments, the rest could actually be dangerous.

THey call themselves the “American Constitution Society” yet they are ENEMIES of the US Constitution.

What pure Orwellian newspeak, they are propagandists and hacktivists for the anti-democracy “Deep State.”

Sometimes also described as "Sucking on the public teat.

....he favors filling the Trump administration with liberals opposed to Trump’s agenda...

Every subversive group from Communists to fringe lunatic liberals have this as a basic tactic of take over of the US government. For Democrats, it’s the epitome of obstruction.
They just haven’t been upfront about it before

Trump certainly sees Government Service differently, as do I. I see them as a lot of ticks sucking the blood from the country.

The “professional politicians”, the academia elitists, and the liberal educated snowflakes are going to actually push this thing to a bloody conflict...They are going to be sorely surprised at the outcome...

The real American people will only be pushed so far...

I know America is in trouble when ANYONE thinks this is a BAD thing.

Once again we see the demonstration of how prescient Robert A Heinlein (and others) were decades ago. Heinlein's epic novel, "Time Enough for Love", was published in 1973, 44 years ago, and contained this warning about our 'civil servants!'

"The election of Donald Trump was an assault on the federal bureaucracy..."

And?...

The federal bureaucracy has been assaulting the American people for decades! Stealing our wealth, and denying us the rightful fruits of our labor at gunpoint. Threatening us with loss of life, property and liberty for failure to comply with whatever rule or regulation they've decided we have violated. Read Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. His "history of repeated injuries and usurpations..." attributed to the King of Britain could just as easily apply to our current federal bureaucracy.

The deep state has been in control for at least 50 years. Trump has his work cut out for him. He will need to be very careful.

What’s interesting about all this is that many who were protesting for civil rights (probably not the leaders though) etc really were concerned about the Bill of Rights. Today, “progressive” means you are all about federal power, all about that mailed fist holding the red rose of socialism, and totally against traditional republicanism and Christianity.

OH yeah and let’s hope Trump and the Prez of Romania also talked about bagging and tagging George Soros, ASAP. Soros is trying to destroy Romania, too.

They need to find a stadium somewhere and as they identify “deep state” employees who for whatever reason can’t be fired right away, have them report to work there. No duties, no company computer, no company phone. Sit in the bleachers and collect your paycheck until we find a way to fire you.

But get them away from the productive work of whatever department they are assigned to.

“Public service” to these types means being the public’s masters.

Trmp’s values are consistent with the values of working Americans, who elected him. The “values” of the Washington insiders are all about power and money.

This is why it is a good idea to geographically disperse the various agencies of the executive branch to places far away from D.C. We would get much more normal people, even if they are democrats, in a place like Des Moines than someone who went to school in Georgetown and wants a career in D.C.

Civil servants....are neither. In fact they are the opposite. Orwellian, indeed......
