I was going to suggest that the most snuggly, feel-good story of recent days was the latest ratings for CNN, which have fallen more than 20 percent over the last year and continued to fall over the summer, such that it now ranks behind the Discovery Channel and HGTV. Makes sense: why tune in to CNN for manure if you can get better manure for your private garden from HGTV?
But this story is much more snuggly feel-good inducing:
EPA lost more than 1,500 workers in first 18 months of Trump administration: report
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reportedly lost 8 percent of its staff in the first 18 months of President Trumps administration due to high numbers of departing staffers and a low number of new hires.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that nearly 1,600 workers left the EPA during that time, while fewer than 400 were hired. The agencys employment has shrunk to its lowest levels since the Reagan administration, the Post noted.
Thats what I call winning.

Trump is running.. Art of the Deal...
Distract from what your really doing or trying to do
EPA employment and NFL fans in a race to the bottom. WINNING
Praying for the day the number is ZERO...!
The libs loathe Nixon but the only real thing I resent him for is creation of that evil leviathan, the EPA....
Fewer government employees is partly why the deep state hates Trump. In their eyes, the government doesn’t work for the people, the people work to feed the ever increasing government.
A few thoughts.
Trump is eliminating a lot of regulations. We think the issue is the regulation because we don’t like them. We focus on the content of the regulation.
But the issue behind the issue is, how the regulation was implemented. Trump never discusses the regulation itself, the issue is the how. Currently the bureaucracy posts the regulation on the internet, collect a few responses, and then does what they want. If the bureaucrats/liberals challenge this, they are exposed for what they are.
Trump is saying that is NOT the proper method, therefore the regulation is dismissed. Now, this empowers us also because we can challenge regulation on the same issue with precedence being set.
Now for the thinkers, what is the proper method for implementing regulation?
8% is a good start, I think the short term 8 year goal should be to cut it by 1/3rd.
How can the Republic stand without its courtiers and food tasters?
IF 1500 employees is only 8% of your staff, that means the EPA still has WAAAY too many people.
It calculates out to 18,750 employees.
President Trump——PLEASE end this EPA nightmare for all of us. Fir them all.
In an administration filled with sedition and treachery, that Pruitt was forced out is nothing short of criminal.
YES, I so love winning.
“Scott Pruitt was one of President Trumps best picks.”
YES! Is there any word about what his replacement is doing about “attrition?”
But...but... a gub’mint job is a God-given right!!!!!!!!!!!!
(LOL)
Reducing that many employees would likely reduce fecal matter in the halls.
The next lib president could hire that many back in a week though.
Wake me when it gets to 80%...
