I can only hope there is a plan for each one of these to have them fired.
The hive, control, and central management of the DS is likely Barry’s Wash DC mansion with ValJar sitting behind a curtain pulling the levers. They apparently employ 30,000 minions and have millions of compliant drones to carry out their will. That has to be a factor in the calculus to truly describe the DS.
The “Deep State” is the convenient scapegoat for your representative to blame when he fails to do as he said to do, and who he promises to fight if re-elected.

Summary execution, not mere firing.
The deep state has existed since the start of the federal era, when the civil service became a permanent work force as compared to the former system wherein electoed officials appointed whomever to service position ( patronage system) the GS/civil service system creates a condition wherein senior permananet employees create hegemonies and simply drag their feet or outright refuse to execute the policies of the duly elected.
In the Army, it is a known fact that the SES and GS levels around 12+ simply know that they will outlast the commander- when an SES tells his subordinates that” what the general means is” there it is.
Call it the swamp, deep state, staff resistance whatever, iit is the same thing.
Solution- get rid of senior GS positions- make them patronage positions- folks who depend on getting what the boss wants done for their longevity- in the military- a SES or senor GS- make them Colonel and Majors etc, who can be replaced by the general if they do not execute.
Lower level positions- say to GS11= fine, they are minions not policy makers so they could stay if there are not enough senior NCOS or officers to fill those seats.
Same for other administration agencies ( either get rid of them entirely and let the congress exercise oversight of laws not regulations!) or fill the leadership slots with appointees, like it used to be prior to the APA of 1931.
The deep state is Leviathan! “Swarms of officers to eat out our substance”
The others are flunkies who basically follow orders, preserve the ‘group-think’, and have a 'vested interest' in 'the team' winning.
The apparatus of the Deep State is massive - those who control the upper echelons are few in number.
Deep State power is styled after military hierarchies - a few very powerful generals and lots of others following orders.
I have heard about the SES before, but thanks for posting this link as it has a lot of good information. How did it happen that Obama appointees are such a big majority? Did he replace and create new positions? The Trump administration needs to do the same, or better yet, change the system to promote based on merit from the ranks. And get them out of the DOJ and agencies they’re not supposed to be in!
So much for the constitutional republic.
That's actually encouraging. Because that means that after 8 years, Trump should have at least that many appointed himself. Probably more because Trump doesn't take a lot of time off.
Okay, please cut to the chase and tell us how they recommend Trump get rid of them.
So are they false in their claim that they show how they can be removed?
Toward the end of 2015 and into 2016 Valerie Jarrett had many non-career appointees move to career appointees because it is hard to get rid of career appointees. It isn’t as hard a getting rid of a civil service employee but it isn’t easy.
Read and skimmed enough to comment.
“Trump can’t fire us”. no.. arrest them.
There is something desperately wrong if there is any law that says barack can set up a treasonous bunch to rule, and not be fired by the new President. FIRE THEM ALL!!
