"They have no loyalty to anyone but themselves, but thankfully, we have a Constitution, and President Trump is using it to fight back."
. . . "Flopping Aces reprinted a speech that Tulsi Gabbard gave about the real deep state, which isn’t a cabal of high-level operatives but is, instead, a collection of bureaucrats protecting their fiefdoms without regard for our constitutional system. (And of course, it goes without saying—and it’s important to note that Gabbard doesn’t say it—that most of these bureaucrats are Democrats.)
"According to Gabbard, an unseen threat in America is the managerial class:
These are the people who operate quietly below the surface. They are the career officials, the senior administrators, the unelected managers of national security or intelligence, who see elections and the American voters as a nuisance because they think that they’re more important than any election, than any president, and that they are more qualified to run our country than those who [sic] we elect to serve our country as leaders.
"With that introduction, Gabbard tells of the employee (who should be named) who used a typical bureaucratic technique we’ve all seen: slow-walking whatever the bureaucrat doesn’t like. In this case, Gabbard needed a placemat—that is, a big piece of paper with information she needed to share with President Trump for a meeting that morning. One person in the agency she chaired, who’d come from another agency, was responsible for getting this placemat to her.
"But the placemat never came. Why not?
[B]ecause this guy who was responsible for printing refused to print it because he disagreed with what was on the paper. And turns out he actually did print it, but then he locked it in his desk and refused to open his desk.
My chief of staff went down and said, the director needs to present this to the president. We need this. And he said, no, I refuse.
And so my chief brought down my head of a general counsel who said, the director needs this for the president. I refuse. And he would not do this until his boss back at his home agency said it was okay to do it." . . .
. . . "Within minutes of reading that, I came across two tweets from England, one explaining how UK bureaucrats in 2002 concluded that it would be virtuous to destroy Britain’s indigenous people in favor of immigrants, and the other of which sums up how Britain arrived at its current Big Brother-ish status:
The above has been cropped by TD to show the main point. The original is at the main link. This shows you how major changes in a nation's culture and demographics - Minnesota's Somali population and third-world congress members for example - can be changed by nameless, unelected bureaucrats.

"(Postscript: In 1942, van Paassen, looking at FDR’s policies, predicted that, in 2042, America would elect a black socialist president. He was off by only 24 years. Now, there’s a distinct possibility that the next socialist president will be elected in 2028, unless patriots turn out in previously unseen numbers.)"
