Fed Employees Coordinate With Obama Officials To Thwart Trump Initiatives

Federal employees are working closely with former Obama administration officials to thwart future President Donald Trump’s policies and initiatives, according to a report published by The Washington Post.

Federal workers regularly consult with Obama-era political appointees about ways they can push back and potentially stymie Trump’s initiatives, according to the report.

Dozens of federal workers attended a support group last weekend for civil servants seeking a place to hash out their issues with the Trump administration. Nearly 200 or more federal employees, many of whom worked for the Obama administration, have signed up for workshops meant to train people in ways to safely engage in civil disobedience.

Trump’s decision to fire acting Attorney General Sally Yates Monday for refusing to implement the president’s refugees ban “sends kind of a chilling effect through the agency,” said John O’Grady, a career EPA employee who heads up agency unions.

“I’m afraid at this point that many federal employees are just fearful for their jobs, and they want to keep their heads down.”

The old "I'm too important to be fired." syndrome. Gets what assclowns, the new president don't play that game. Either you do you're job as described or pack you bags.

If it gets to a point where you can’t fire a guy....they just move him to some corner of a small enclosed room, and give nothing much to work on. Then they come by to ensure you are actually at the desk and not goofing off. Sooner or later, you screw up, and they document that. A year of playing out this game, and there’s more than enough to send you packing with no-rehire chance.

As I’ve posted several times, President Trump needs to “clean sheet” some of these agencies and departments - fire ‘em all. Then he can decide if the public truly needs the service they provide and reconstitute them under a different guise so that the riff raff can be eliminated from the outset.

That happens in the real world. Fed goons think they are above the petty stuff like responsibility.

Remember what Reagan did with air traffic controllers in the early 80’s.

Who is funding those workshops?

A good guess would be George $oreA$$, the same criminal funding the rioters in Bezerkley and the Vagina march in DC to protest our president.

Please take a few minutes to go and sign this Whitehouse petition:

WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROPOSE A NEW ADMINISTRATION POLICY:

Issue an International Arrest Warrant for George Soros
Created by A.B. on January 21, 2017

Sign This Petition:

Needs 99,355 signatures by February 20, 2017 to get a response from the White House!

645 SIGNED
100,000 GOAL

George Soros is a menace to the free world and stands in the way of making America great again. He is guilty of the following crimes:

1) Financially supports open sedition in major American cities resulting in millions of dollars of property damage as well as loss of life.

2) Attempts to manipulate democratic elections by donating millions of dollars to his preferred candidates.

3) Seeks to curtail American sovereignty. In his own words: “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ... Changing [the] attitude and policies of the United States remains my top priority.”

4) Is a currency manipulator. Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

Only if you’re a conservative. For libs it’s simply a planning strategy.

Never in my life have I seen anything like this with a new President. (It may have happened, but I sure don’t remember it.)

Obama has left a huge stain on our Republic.
We need to “Shout it out”.

Insubordination. That is not a protected act. Fire them.
