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.

I went to that pub when my wife and I drove through Tonopah; great BBQ!
Only drove past the Clown Motel though; I saw it featured on "Ghost Adventures" - it was a hilarious episode because Zak (the one on the right) has a fear of clowns.
You're right about Tonopah being too good for them. I mentioned the town because it's the type of real Americana that the State Department employees need to be exposed to.
Oh Yes. They thing they are special. But the irony, for most of them it is only an illusion in their mind.
I had no clue who Tyler Durden was. Had to look it up.
“Tyler Durden is a reference to the lead character in Fight Club. It’s the pseudonym for Zero Hedge’s key author(s) used to hide their identities.”

You may well be correct on Sundance. Regardless of who he is, he or they are very good most of the time.
This is not something that would become apparent overnight. 3-4 years minimum I’m thinking.
I think he meant this Tyler Durden.
The State Dept signaled its need for reduction when it lifted the rainbow flag over US embassies around the world.

We agree!
I was unaware that happened, but during the Obamanation, anything was possible.
Thanks for informing me.
