A poll conducted by RMG Research reveals a startling number of federal government managers who say they will actively oppose the incoming administration when Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20.
The Daily Signal reports that RMG Research polled three separate segments of the population including what it calls the “Elite 1%” with postgraduate degrees, earning more than $150,000 annually and live in highly populated areas, “Main Street Americans” who represent roughly 75% of the U.S. population and, finally, federal managers who live near the nation’s Capital city and earn $75,000 or more annually.
When asked if they would most likely be supporting or resisting the Trump administration over the next four years, government managers were almost evenly sp

(You ever been there in the Summer? (I have).)
Yes, many times. I used to live in Baton Rouge and would pass through Woodville going to see my girlfriend in Natchez,MS. Hey, they have a Sonic there where you can get a spicy 🔥 Crab Sandwich when in season.
So many work for Xi anyway by being democrats purging to ensue names have been taken.
They passed a law where it becomes almost impossible to fire those goons. As it was explained to me, people with years of experience wouldn’t be vindictively fired by an incoming administration, and thereby throwing a department into turmoil. That sounds good in theory, but it has created fiefdoms of entrenched layabouts or power hungry bullies. There should not be any public sector Union. Period. If you can’t fire them, move the office to Nome Alaska and demand in-person work exclusively.
This is good news. It gives a good starting point for staff reduction. Getting rid of them all would be just a starting point. It’s hardly enough to do the right thing.
Being Black is going to be bad if you are a Federal employee. Black attitude is harmful for America
Precedent.
Make a strong example of the few who resist openly and the rest will comply.
Greenland’s new US base would be a good starting point.
I would suggest that Pam Bondi will be up for the project to thin the American bureaucracy. They may want to think twice about paying the exorbitant mortgages while fighting being fired.
(Black attitude is harmful for America)
Indeed it is! They should be deported like Lincoln intended to do. America would be more safe and prosperous.
We had a 3-year stint in Baton Rouge - N Allegheny Ct.
FYI, I always avoided the Natchez Trace Parkway since they ENFORCED the 45 mph speed limit, religiously (early 1980s)
Supreme Court 9, Administrative State 0
On April 14, 2023, the Supreme Court struck a blow supporting our Constitution and individual liberties. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, citizens began losing many freedoms through administrative edicts. Appeals of these regulations had to be made to courts within an agency, which has already found the people guilty. Such power harks back to discretions of English kings unrestrained by Parliament found in such places as King’s Council and the Star Chamber.
The Supreme Court acted to reassert the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts and the legislature as established by the Constitution. All power was to reside there, so Americans could avoid the sad experience of English citizens. Justice Kagan delivered the unanimous opinion of the court saying, “One respondent attacks as well the combination of prosecutorial and adjudicatory functions in a single agency….They maintain in essence that the agencies as currently structured, are unconstitutional in much of their work”.
You and I could relate too many examples of people’s frustrating experiences facing government bureaucrats. Their sufferings cause me to reflect on a passage where Fredrick Douglass describes overseer duties. I only substituted for the words slave, overseer, and master.
“No matter how innocent a citizen might be it availed him nothing when accused by the bureaucrat of any violation of a regulation. To be accused was to be convicted and to be convicted was to be punished….To escape punishment was to escape accusation….few citizens had the fortune to do either under the overseership of the agency.”

The History and Danger of Administrative Law
https://constitutionclub.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/the-history-and-danger-of-administrative-law/
Administrative law is commonly defended as a new sort of power, a product of the 19th and the 20th centuries that developed to deal with the problems of modern society in all its complexity. From this perspective, the Framers of the Constitution could not have anticipated it and the Constitution could not have barred it. What I will suggest, in contrast, is that administrative power is actually very old. It revives what used to be called prerogative or absolute power, and it is thus something that the Constitution centrally prohibited.
Just REQUIRING them to be in the office, and sharing a cubicle, buying their own coffee, staying til 5 - you know the US corporate for-profit model - would kill them. They’d quit on their own.
The bureaucracy is in desperate need of a reorganization and reduction. Typically, once someone is hired they are seldom terminated unless something really bad occurs. The other situations (sloth, dishonesty, sabotage, theft, incompetence, etc.) are usually covered up and the worker is either reassigned or just stuck somewhere else. In the private sector this is not tolerated to nearly as much as it affects the bottom line, and as we know, in government there seems to be NO bottom line. There will be a large weeding out process of supervisory personnel along with the associated wailing and gnashing of teeth. People supporting the Trump agenda need to stay strong and demand the changes.
You know what, that’s okay. Be spunky and obstinate. Maybe even whisper around and send out some texts and emails.
This is a good test of whether Trump has hired the right people, whether DOGE is a bark or a bite.
Thanks. It the French problem since they created bureaucracy… 🤣
The EPA needs to take hundreds of employees and have them investigate pollution issues with nuclear missile sites/bases—in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Lol.
If it is hard to fire them just move them somewhere they will hate & they will quit.
The whole point of the federal civil service is to be non-political. There are laws (and detailed regulations) about that. Notably the Taft–Hartley Act.
Another good move would be relocate some federal offices out of DC. Imagine the Department of Agriculture being located in Des Moines, IA in the heart of farm country or the Department of Interior relocated to Montana. Putting these career bureaucrats in flyover country would do them some good.
