Twenty-eight percent said they would even consider leaving the federal workforce entirely now that Trump is president.
THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT A BAD THING!
President Trump should confiscate the 1.5 billion rounds the EPA ,DOE,and other noncombatant agencies procured and distribute them to the voters ala government cheese.
Nobody votes for the bureaucracy.
The people do, however, elect the President.
Oh my goodness!!! They actually are expected to do what their boss says? Horrors!
DoD is already under these rules. It’s time these alphabet agencies were gotten under control.
Stifling dissenting views? Dissenting views are appropriate in the courts or Congress. Not for the bureaucracy.
This order does not and cannot suppress the expression of personal views, but the government has the authority to control the use of government resources to express official policy of the government. Individual staff members at the EPA are entitled to their personal views, can write their congresscritters, etc. but they cannot use government owned media to express "official" dissent from the official policies of the government.
These agencies probably did not procure this much ammo.
The computerized procurement systems used by the federal government require the buyer to choose from a list of thousands of object codes, so they can keep track of what they buy.
The very first code on the list is, you guessed it, ammo.
So if the purchaser does not choose an object code, the purchase is encoded, by default, as ammunition in the database of federal purchases.
“Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who tweeted Tuesday afternoon that the ban on social media and contact with reporters was “very troubling —and honestly, anti-democratic.””
Let one of her underlings tweet against California gun laws and say to build a wall. Then we’ll see how “democratic” she is.
This ain’t a democracy, you dummy! It’s a bureaucracy and it works for one man, who makes the rules. Nobody has the right to make “public facing comments” on behalf of their employer and does so at his/her/its own peril. Want to see how if feels to lose that nice cushy government pension? Just try crossing Trump on this.
Day 2. The Adults are back in charge.
The author of this silly piece, Jordan Fabian, is either 29 or 30 years old, and knows very little about how the world works.
There is very little room in the executive branch for "dissenting voices," and any "dissent" flows along very narrow channels.
There is absolutely no room for "dissenting views" that are expressed from sources inside agencies to news organizations, or anyone else outside the agency. Zero. Nada. Nothing.
Stating such a policy, and further stating that individuals who choose to act in opposition to the policy will face severe punishments, is not a violation of anyone's rights. It is not a scandal, it is not a suppression of the right to dissent or to speak out. It is not a violation of the First Amendment, or anything else.
It is simply normal practice in any organization, public or private.
You want to complain, or talk out of school to the fake-news MSM, you can resign and then talk all you want. Subject to limitations you may have agreed to when you accepted the job, concerning confidential, classified, or proprietary information to which you had access as part of your work duties.
Exactly...Public employees expressing their opinions on their own time is guaranteed by the First Amendment but it doesn’t give them the right to divulge official business on government time.
Well said.
“Twenty-eight percent said they would even consider leaving the federal workforce entirely now that Trump is president.”
They have even less real job skills than the Follywood rectums, telling the world, they will go to Canada.
These creeps wouldn’t make it in a fast food chain store, cleaning tables and floors.
Private industry is under these rules.
I am allowed to criticize my employer, my working conditions, and company policy on my office computer. NOT!
Not allowed in private or publicly held companies so why should it happen in Government agencies???
MAGA!
They are under the authority of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the U.S. government.
Donald Trump, as President of the United States, RUNS the Executive Branch of the U.S. government.
According to the U.S. Constitution, Trump controls the policy, output, and work product from all Executive Agencies.
Trump governs all these little cupcakes.
Apparently no one told them this before.
I love it when a plan comes together!
You do not “dissent” when you work for the Executive Branch: you undermine.
