It's definitely the senior bureaucrats within the 3 letter agencies that have the real power and run the country. When the FBI can refuse to answer questions from congress they show they have nothing to fear.

Refuse...haha..they flat out lie and IMO it started with the Brennans and Clappers.
What concerns me even for the middle and lower ranks is some purity test for advancement. We are witnessing it with our eyes in the military. Like a purge.

Without a doubt advancement is 100% political withing the bureaucracies. Military officers have always had to play politics, just a different kind.

Do you think Obama's brass purge at the Pentagon was political?

I'm reading a book "First Casualties" about the CIA right after 9/11, the bureaucrat back biting and ladder climbing within that organization is beyond belief. I never knew how many Ivy Leaguers were/are in management rolls.

Oh yea. The CIA has been recruiting the Ivy Leagues for decades.

It’s one of the least “diverse” entities in the entire federal government.

Makes you wonder why someone would spend all that money to attend an ivy league school to take a $50-60k a year job where at most your going to top out in the mid $100s.

Power? Prestige? Intrigue?

I dare say there are other avenues of benefit than standard salary.

Maybe not. Like I said, I don't have a list. Honestly, I haven't really followed politics very closely over the past 20 years or so.

But I reserve the right to talk about it as much as I damn well please - preemptive.

You don't follow it closely but voted for Biden and hated Trump.

Are you sure you're just not the type who loves to cycle out bad options on the democrat side when they become tainted goods. For instance, you never said you disliked Hilldog, you just didn't want her because she was disliked/tainted goods.

I wonder what all of the medals are for?

I doubt that they are for winning wars.

The state rules bro. Look how successful we are.

Yet a real successful and modest nationalist...

From Lincoln to FDR and the 17th amendment we have slowly been chipping away.

One of the worst steps is allowing legislation to pass by a simple majority. 2/3 or 3/4 is an effective way to cool "passionate factions". Somehow we the people need to take power to change congressional rules away from congress and put in place reforms that prevent one party or one faction from running the table when they are in power. ObamaCare should never have been able to pass as it did, one simple example. There's been a lot of time wasted by parties in power drumming up legislation that they believe can squeak by because they hold a bare majority - time that should actually have been spent by a broader view to do what the country needs - not what a faction wants to bribe their constituents.

And we'll never get this out of politics now. It's too deeply embedded.

Why would anyone in his right mind consider ivy leaguers to be the right choice for intelligence agencies in the first place. It's not surprising our whole intelligence apparatus is screwed up. That and the same types and lawyers running the FBI - Federal Bureau of Incompetence maybe? Imagine the success rate at the FBI if it wasn't a crime to lie to them, so they could eventually find a little crack in someone's testimony and turn it into blackmail - confess to this and we won't go after you for something really bad.

Fringe benefits. Remember congressional critters don't make all that much in salary either, but they still become very wealthy somehow.
