It's A Bloodbath At The State Department

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

FLUSH the State Department!

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation.

Know this:

Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!

God Bless

>thousands upon thousands of unemployed government workers<

.
You would not say that unless you know what it is like to be unemployed. I would not wish unemployment on my worst enemy.

How can you expect mercy when you have none?

If ever there was a fetid and odoriferous sewer it is the US Dept of State.

We need similar action at CIA, HHS, IRS, Interior/EPA, Pentagon and several others.

Will Tillerson be too old to run in 2024?

Start at the top and work your way down.

Anyone who has experience in corporate America knows this is the only way that works.

If you want to drain the swamp.

Bloodbath? I think ‘enema’ is a better description — cleaning out the arseholes...

They need to bring in some holy people to bless the place and get rid of any demons. Bush had Hillary’s office blessed and it was huge news for exactly one day, the MSM spiked the story.

They do not have a lifetime contract. The ones who go quietly and professionally get offered pretty cushy jobs though. You’re leaving? Why don’t you help us out in Italy for three years before your departure.

They can get regular unemployment for 26 weeks just like any other person they put out of work for the past 28 years.

That's a hell of a lot more merciful than government employees deliberately working to destroy entire industries, take away farms, businesses, homes from US citizens who just want to live their lives, and have done nothing wrong.

Every computer will have to be scanned for spyware/malware/Trojans. All passwords blocked. You can even tell if they’ve downloaded anything. If they are not a Security Cleared Trump hired they are GONE! Can’t trust any one hired by a RINO either.

I HOPE that’s real.
Politically appointed Ambassadors have been selling visas for decades. It goes to private accounts in the country they operated in.

In addition to innumerable family favors.

It’s a very well paying gig.

Hey, I got an idea! Why not get rid of ALL the unconstitutional federal bureaucracies (70%-80% of them are unconstitutional) and actually have a constitutional federal government. Wow, actually restoring our Free Constitutional Republic. What a concept.

Bureaucrats in all agencies should randomly be given pink slips with or without cause.

“Can’t be fired.”

BS!

The executive of a Federal Dept can reorganize, reduce staff, combine functions and drive efficiencies.

He can lay these folks off as redundant.

That’s a far piece from firing for cause which invites scrutiny and rules.
