The main mission of the EPA is to screw people over. They are anti-American. They should all be fired and be banned from gov’t employment for life.

Wasn’t it the EPA that was reported as having a number of employees who spent most of their days enjoying themselves with online pornography? It’s going to be difficult —but probably not impossible —for them to find jobs that match that skill set .

“with many reporting depression and some being advised to take sick leave”

They do less damage to the country when they are off sick.

No one in the private sector will hire them. They are the labor market’s toxic equivalent of a superfund site. May they experience the penury and hardship they have forced on others. Scum.

The arrogance of EPA workers crying tears.

No mention of the sorrow and fear you wrought on innocent families with authoritarian, ignorant and painful rules.
Typical compassionless tyrants, see my tears but your pain is meaningless to a rule maker.

You EPA workers disgust decent families.
You EPA workers hurt children for too long.

If they are too young to retire, they can always go into construction as there will be a big construction boom very soon, courtesy of President Trump.

Too bad they didn’t think of that when they were killing the jobs of the American people.

The IRS and DOJ are the ones who should be really scared.
Some of them are going to prison.
