Make the govies stay at the Clown Motel; I hear it's haunted.

The U.S. State Department consists of the most entrenched group of life-long professional political bureaucrats in any sector of the government. The scope of the mindset really comes to the surface within leaks from inside the Deep State machine that became the basis for a Politico article today. You really have to read it to fathom the scope of elitism.
The article, and the sentiment carried from within the bureaucracy which frames the construct, highlights the level of indignation within the agency toward President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as they carry out foreign policy objectives. The article contains a State Dept. quote which thoroughly encapsulates the mindset therein:
“We are implementers of policy decided by Tillerson and his team,” one veteran State Department official concluded.
Oh, the horror. The career officials within the State Department are reduced to being “implementers” of foreign policy instead of being able to construct the policy on their own.
Yes, in essence, they are complaining about having bosses.

Managers in large grocery stores are very sharp people.
I spent 35 years in wholesale distribution, not grocery, there are some solid people there.
They will eventually probably get the boot somewhere else.
Disloyalty is a career shortener. Has a lasting effect.
I agree and know that is very true of market managers. But Sundance’s gifts as we know them today, of writing and intellect and political acumen are not congruent with the picture Levin painted of him, as a grocery store clerk, leveled against him as an insult.
I know several young men and women as well, who worked during college years at grocery stores.
Don’t drain the swamp. Disperse it.
With modern communications it is no longer necessary to have all those people with their ares hugging chairs in buildings in DC.
Sent them into the locations where they should be, homeland to the borders, energy to shale, coal, nuclear areas, etc. There should be no more than 40 people and the department head in DC.
This would spread the wealth, increase efficency, and reduce the high cost of supporting people to live in DC
1/3 of the state department budget goes to the basement shredding and redacting division.
>>Long before Trump’s election, I was beating the drum saying it is TIME to DownSize DC!
On a similar note, I’ve been saying since the election that one measure of the success of the Trump Presidency would be if DC residential real estate values level off. Big success would be indicated if they actually reduced slightly.
The basic issue is that over time a Mandarin Class has developed in government. State is the worst but not alone.
From what I have heard it has not.
I’m also aware of the potential for that. Have family near there.
Smile. Almost True with Obama. (especially if you include legal fees)
That is absolutely the right approach.
Don’t think I will live to see it.
Prelude, Feud and RIFs...
I spent 35 years of my life in the wholesale hardware distribution business. With 2 family owned businesses.
The people who survive in that business are some of the most reasonable, honest people in the world.
My interests outside that were technical. My ham operator friends were some of the best. And some of the best informed.
Let it happen.
My current model says that “Sundance” is a composite character with very good editing. Also, I do not believe there is only on “Tyler Durden”.
“’We are implementers of policy decided by Tillerson and his team,’ one veteran State Department official concluded.”
OMG! How can this be? Employees being expected to do what their superiors tell them to do... it jist ain’t right, I tell ya.
But... IIRC, I did this every single work day for about 40 years. Do they think they’re special?
Look for that to happen in Trump's second term.
“RIF these useless sots.”
Definitely. Maybe they technically can’t be fired, but their jobs can be eliminated. It’s win-win. A more lean workforce, and the troublemakers are gone.

Nope too good for them. Tonopah has a great brew pub.

I have stayed at the motel many times. Ghosts only bother you if you believe in them.
Did you ever hear the prank phone call about “pumping iron” at the Clown motel?
