(6,474 posts)1. I had the same thought
...these "Deep State" lifetime governmental ambassadors, departmental officials and representatives-even most of the Republicans- have more intelligence and moral integrity than the entire political side of the Republican Party. Its actually quite refreshing
Its about the only hope we have left.

his installed cronies.
Even if the "deep state" may have some vested interests such as doing their jobs per description, hoping for a good long career.
The political appointees, especially under the shrub and the dump are generally odious and have totally separate agendas from the public good.
