They didn’t INTEND TO break the law.
You see, the problem is that so far there have been no consequences.
that’s OK- the NSA has them.
Sessions is going to be very busy....
I detect Intent.
The phone company does too.
Ask Kwame Kilpatrick.
This is the only thing that worries me about Trump running the governmen- He can’t just fire people.
So, my question of any Freepers who know more than I do (that means prolly all of you)- What does it take to fire a federal worker? Is cutting a program enough to cut the workers?
He needs plans to get rid of people in ways different to the business world.
What grounds are there to fire someone?
You can re-assign/re-locate people and if they refuse to acquiesce, I believe they lose their position. And you generally don’t have to backfill positions.
The HILLARY DEFENSE—not intentional
Put them on the border.All of them. That will certainly weed them out.
First thing to do is reduce the wages DRAMATICALLY , most of these yahoos would never obtain such a generous wage and benefit package in the private sector for what they do. Then start breaking the union and leave one rule #1 A new administration cannot simply clean house out of spite or political retribution. All other infractions of law/rules etc... are reason for termination
as would be in the private sector. Furious best describes my feelings toward federal employees that scam such big money that is hard fought for by the public who work privately who actually make these funds (tax money) available.
Yes, very difficult to fire but very easy to transfer to our new office in Nome, Alaska which has no computer or phone. The employee must be there 8 hours a day doing nothing at their desk. Be late, leave early or actually do something such as read a book then you are fired.
Not for long!
That’s Butch McCarthy. I would love to see what the percentage of gays is in the EPA. Bet it’s very high compared to the population. That’s how the lavender mafia rolls..
My phone only holds about 300 texts before it’s full and won’t receive any more. I have to delete my messages or lock particular ones to keep. Should all the EPA employees get a new phone every month?
Gender check is aisle one.

That’s OK. I hate text messages and voicemail, so I have my phone configured to delete them upon receipt and leave only the Caller ID in the call log. I call back any I think any might have important content.

A current smartphone can probably hold information surpassing recorded human history in it...
One law for the King’s men, and another for the rest of us.
“Intention” would not save our butts in the same circumstances, but Federal Employees won’t be touched.
Build a large, unheated, un-A/C’ed metal warehouse in the wilds North Dakota.
No computers. No networking. No wireless. Cell phone jammers. No ports to charge devices.
Put a bunch of uncomfortable benches.
Hire prison guards to watch them.
Send the unwanted government employees there. They have to be in their seats 8 hours per day, 5 days a week.
I bet a lot of ‘em quit rather than go, and we could fire a bunch more for absenteeism soon afterwards.
