Environmental Protection Agency employees have not accepted Donald Trumps victory and are still coming to work in tears more than two months after the election.
At EPA headquarters, the mood remains dark, ProPublica reported Wednesday. A longtime career communications employee said in a phone interview Tuesday that more than a few friends were coming to work in tears each morning as they grappled with balancing the practical need to keep their jobs with their concerns for the issues they work on.
Trumps victory has been tough for bureaucrats. The State Department held stress workshops after the election so they would not become paralyzed by fear. EPA employees were caught crying before, just after the election, as were White House aides. Energy Department employees were granted counseling. Sobbing staffers greeted Hillary Clinton on Capitol Hill a month after her loss.

Perhaps now, those people at EPA will start using real and verifiable science in applying the recommendations and guidelines for various environmental concerns.
One thing, right off the bat. Carbon dioxide is not, never has been, a “pollutant”, but a very essential part of earth’s atmosphere, and it has nowhere near the effect supposedly assigned in relation to either heat gain or loss in the atmosphere or surface waters, which makes the whole effort to regulate earth surface temperatures by limiting the CO2 content of the atmosphere meaningless. It is far too expensive to even try, and it would have no measurable result.
Climate may be changing, but it is of no known or logical mechanism depending on carbon dioxide as the change agent, and it is not affected in any manner by the activities of mankind. Oh, there are micro changes that anthropogenic activity CAN affect, in very localized areas, but the sum total of the entire biosphere involves so many factors, and is of just such huge magnitude, that human efforts are negligible and mostly self-canceling. And none of it is cumulative.
I use liberal tears in my milkshakes.
EPA employees in tears?! No, not that!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...!!!
I grew up in the DC area the horizon in the morning was brown in the summer. The auto pollution was terrible. You could feel it in your lungs and smell it everywhere when you went downtown. It really was bad. Soot film everywhere. It is not like that anymore and there are just as many cars now as back then. Like I said mission accomplished now they need to go away.
It’s looking like this reduction in the federal work force is gonna be easier than we thought!
I call baloney. Somebody’s making up this story because of one or two drama queens being interviewed and summoning reptilian tears.
Now if they start quitting in honorable protest, I’ll be a believer.
Hahahaha. These LIB asshat weaklings should quit immediately. Obviously, they were up to n0o good for many7, many years. The tears are probably because they are worried about losing their cushy jobs where they sit around watching porn all day.
Bingo. Millions upon millions of us share your sentiments. But understand that this has been going on well before Obama. Elane Photography in New Marxistco was attacked with a lawsuit in 2006.
That’s her! How did you take that image? My house has been hacked by the Russians! RUN!
Good. If these idiots really care about the environment they will quit the EPA and instead pool (no pun intended) their salty tears to supply a hydroponic system that will grow crops which feed America’s poor and hungry. It’s a win-win.
arrghh!
Working against American interests in expanding capitalism from inside an actual government enforcement agency allowed those most interested in the dramatic change of American exceptionalism into American weakness a certain enduring foothold via intrusive government policies.
It started with Bill Clinton and continued with Barack Obama with brief periods of stunted growth during two Bush regimes. Neither Bush chose to do what Trump is so obviously doing. The swamp is vast and deep and the EPA is just one part that needs to be lanced like the festering boil it has become.
The mission of a bureaucrat isn’t accomplishment, it’s expanding the mission. They never go away of their own volition. Success is more power, more employees, a bigger budget and more prestige. Giving up a bully pulpit by actually admitting they’ve fulfilled the purpose of their existence is not in their vocabulary.
Shut down every single bureaucracy you can, President Trump. No time like the present, and the door won’t be open forever. The ones left standing will be right back to the mission creep as soon as they’re able. Count on it.
Can we hear some stories about the tears of family farmers and other property owners whose lives have been ruined by the EPA bureaucrats over the last forty years?
Definitely another part of the swamp that could use some draining. Since when is “discouraged worker” a disability? And yes, I know somebody who filed under that and was approved.

Absolutely insane!
