It’s kind of a misnomer anyway. Clinton got rid of Linda Tripp when she blew the whistle on him
“This is the most profound undermining of the civil service in our lifetimes,”
Undermining the swamp is one way to drain it.
Every day is like watching a cage match, where POTUS whoops up on the swamp.
I used to be a federal employee, and most of those I worked with were awesome people. But there are some that knew they were untouchable, and acted accordingly.
“.... will enable political appointees and other officials to hire and fire these workers at will,...”
The real world operates like this. This should be done to the USPS, Trump should break the USPS union, break all public unions.
As a former federal employee, those ‘who make policy’, are not the worker bees. These are those that decide how things are run, aka upper level MANAGEMENT. These folks were NOT offered union memberships, when I was a federal employee.
I applaud the order!!
It is President Trump restoring some of the executive power to the President from the Deep State.
Beautiful. Would be fabulous to see.
“This executive order strips due process rights and protections from perhaps hundreds of thousands of federal employees and will enable political appointees and other officials to hire and fire these workers at will,” he said.”
Yes. We elect a new government every time we elect new Presidents and a new Congress and we expect the elected government to be in charge, not the bureaucrats.
Current civil service rules give too many civil servants near life time tenure just because they got in, and the elected government is told to leave them alone, let them run things. It’ stupid.
But it is the “progressive” ideal - rule by the experts, not by folks the people elect to rule.
This is the most profound undermining of the civil service in our lifetimes,” American Federation of Government Employees president Everett Kelley said in a statement. “The president has doubled down on his effort to politicize and corrupt the professional service.”
“This executive order strips due process rights and protections from perhaps hundreds of thousands of federal employees and will enable political appointees and other officials to hire and fire these workers at will,” he said.
In other words, it’s great. Just what we needed. If the union hates it, I know Trump did something right.
‘Bout time.
Yet another almost four years late, but great, move.
There 15,000 (18,800) foreign service personnel... 10,000 are commissioned officers who are essentially the same appointments as military. These should also lose protection.
ONE MORE REASON I LOVE THIS MAN!
Thank you, President Trump. How many
prayers have been offered that this would
come to pass? How many years have we prayed to
see changes made to take us to our roots? Keep
digging, Sir. The tree might be saved after all.
Sounds like a good plan.
The folks at the trough won’t be pleased.
