I’m trying to get inside the skulls of these leftist .gov employees to figure out why they think they have any power. Are they just bluffing or do all of them suffer delusions of grandeur?

They don’t vote R anyway, well, most don’t.

The ones that do will keep loving Trump. Look at the guy detained at the airport yesterday. “What do you think of Trump?”
- “I like him”

LOL

I think if you just flatten their bandwidth by 80-percent, you’d start to trigger the discontent and flow outward. Take down the ability to connect to Facebook and Twitter, and you’d send the message quickly on the new leadership style.

Howland Island “has no economic activity” according to Wiki. In other words, there is no better place for the 16,000! They’ll fit right in.

Gotta say it from eagle eye.. Get to work, or you will be demoted to a position that actually involves touching shit with your hands.

Block all funding. The libs who steal oxygen at the EPA can dine on their regs.

It is far, far easier to make the sun rise in the west tomorrow morning than to fire a government employee.

Give them each a stick with a nail on the end and have them patrol the national forests and parks picking up trash. That’ll keep em busy.

I used to underwrite commercial auto insurance for large fleets. When we came across drivers with a long string of accidents and tickets, we could not legally tell the employer to fire them, but our advice was to rescind their driving privileges and give them work sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, etc.--anything to get them off the road and hopefully quit their jobs. ;D

Trump should blitz the EPA. Take the former EPA chief and all involved with that toxic river dump to court.
Open up EPA records for the public to see. Dump documents of all the rigged studies any uncomfortable e-mails.
Make the EPA a tiny agency and transfer functions to interior and/other relate to agencies. Eliminating the EPA would take congressional action and it’s not worth the political capital at least right now.

Cut off their pay or fire them. We do not need incompetents.

If he wants to do so, I think Trump would find the way...he is not your usual “professional politician”...

You don’t have to control every federal employee.

You only have to control their pay computer.

Turnabout is fair play.

Every time a federal employee in this organization is supposed to get a step increase, they get a decrease.

It’s a computer glitch! Here, fill out a form. We’ll get it fixed in 8 or 9 years.

When likely EPA Secretary Scott Pruitt walks into his first day at the office, “He’ll have 16,000 employees working against him,”

Best solution is to fire half of them before they get to work. Then they will run around all day holding their a$$e$ and wondering what to do.

Worry not!

I think President Trump knows how to fire under-performing employees. That is a very underestimated skill.
