Great Post! The list is so long that people have a tendency to forget the horrors the left enacts against our country. We need to keep reminding them until they permanently recognize the threats.

No, the president can’t change the personnel regulations. The Fed govt has a union and it has contracts, and those contracts quote the regs.

Look, this isn’t even debateable. He can remove them from positions. He can’t cut pay, he can’t relocate them more than 50 miles from previous place of work, he can’t make working conditions horrible. All that is lawsuits he would lose.

You guys only have a vague notion of what federal employee regs are and what the unions secured. It’s far worse than you think. YOU CAN’T DO THESE THINGS. The courts have to adjudicate by rule of contract law and these things are all in contracts.

Hell, you can’t even get pensions cut without the courts saying no. You think you can get people put into buildings with no facilities? You have no clue.

Then we should change the law. No union should be allowed to form that goes against “We the people.” Government workers should never be allowed to unionize.

The last corporation I worked for...when they fired someone they showed up at their desk, watched them pack their stuff up, and then walked them to the front door. I hope that is what they did. lol

Best one I witnessed was a senior level manager. Got met in the parking lot by HR. Had him sign the paperwork and they gave him his personal stuff from his office. He deserved it.

Thanks. Here's my default position that I think solid FReepers should have as well...

Don’t believe the Lying Leftist Media. They are presumed to be lying and we should assume that what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

I also add this about posting on FR...

We should find reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.

Cheers.

They were all appointees and every new admin brings in their own people. This is just a non-story.

Good. Corrupt, lazy and incompetent. Always trying to sell us into wars to line their own pockets and their globalist anti western agenda. State Dept all the way through to every Intel agency. CLEAN IT UP!
