EPA Employees ‘Coming to Work in Tears’ Because of Trump Win
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 1/26/2017 | Elizabeth Harrington

Environmental Protection Agency employees have not accepted Donald Trump’s 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.”

Trump’s 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.

Well, if you're so friggin talented then it should be easy to get a new job after 8 years of this dynamic economy under Obama, right?

Also diesels are much cleaner. They don’t belch the black smoke that they did in the 70’s.

There was a bus stop in front of my grandmother’s house and exhaust from idling buses actually killed a couple of her trees.

Today the buses run on compressed natural gas, with a fraction of the emissions.

These are the unstable people who think their views should rule in this country.

Maybe if they hadn’t believed they were soldiers in a war, the looming breakup would be easier to take.

Their tears are literally a drop in the bucket compared to those tears and SWEAT shed by CITIZENS who were forced to do battle with these crazed leftist zealots!

Going to have to call you on this one.

EFI is *much* more responsive than a carburetor to changing conditions ... even the conditions in the three miles from my house to the grocery store. Carbs are going to be non-optimal except in one narrow band, it’s just the nature of the beast.

Additionally, points absolutely suck. The day GM brought out the HEI distributors was the day everyone said good bye to points as could do so.

The proof is in the pudding: today’s high performance turbocharged engines would not stay together without EFI and computer controlled ignition. Even economy cars are running enough boost pressure and fuel to develop over 130hp/L (GM ectotech turbo, mazdaspeed 3, ecoboost 3 cylinder, examples abound).

If you think those are just because of the EPA forcing someone’s hand, NTPA doesn’t ban EFI or computer controlled ignition for zero reason. Even on pump gas, the sky is the limit on specific output, just how much boost pressure you are willing to run through the engine. In engine powered sports where electronics are allowed, strict limits on boost pressure and rev limits abound (F1 even had boost limits in the 80’s, and rev limits that last few years of normally aspirated V8s).

Finally, you can run a turbo/super and carb, but expect two things:

(1) To not reach the optimal output of the engine across all operating conditions.
(2) Probably slow (or in some cases, quick) engine damage on really hot days.

Brings a huge smile to my face. The EPA is on the way to oblivion, where it belongs. Recently they ruled that puddles and seasonal streams are now under their control. Malignant maniacs.

Yep, hard to feel sorry for people who worked for this truly evil agency. They have to share the blame.

I wonder how many tears it takes to flush a 1.6 gallon toilet.

If I had complained and cried every time my company in the private sector had changed management I would have been fired.

These civil servants are supposed to do as they’re told regardless of which party/politician is in charge. They’re not supposed to take sides.

They can either do what they’re told or get out.

Tears from these arrogant horrific traitors who have been stone cold in their hatred and abuse of patriots throughout our nation? They have ruined lives and fortunes, and deserve far more than experiencing sadness. Hell is too good for them.

President Trump has come to right the ship. And not a moment too soon.

Maybe you should quit.

With Obamaism we’re living in an economic boom.
You should have no trouble finding good jobs right away.

“...paralysed with fear...”
“...coming to work crying...”

Tylical of employees who know deep down inside that their job was never necessary in the first place and the realization that if they are fortunate enough to find another job they will be expected to actually “work” and produce results.

No more 3 hour lunch breaks.
No more letting the phone ring thru to voice email.
No more internet surfing or social media during work hours.
No more accumulated sick days & vacation time.
No more annual 10% cost of living increase.
No more government paid Cadillac health insurance.
No more retirement at 90% pay.
And no more job security.

Nope. Now they are going to experience life in the real world and suffer from same draconian, green- weenie, tree-hugging, libtard agenda they forced upon the rest of us.

Hope they are too busy sobbing, whining and holding their Teddy Bears to screw hard working taxpayers any more.
