And exactly how many now of the Swamp are such appointees from the Obama administration?

"At Least a Dozen Trump Political Appointees Approved for Civil Servant Positions"

Gallows & noose testers?

Seriously ... Biden does seem to be making a show (highly fake) of the olive branch -> sounds like word went out (Milano trying the same thing.) The fact that NBC is reporting it with a headline that reads like an opening statement in a persuasive essay -> you know it's a narrative the left is paying the media to promote, hence important to their broad scheming.

Could be part of the larger Biden lefty strategy, could be to reduce pressure from the right on the election fraud.

What part of “used for decades” suddenly makes it controversial other than Trump appointees are now taking advantage of it?

Isn’t this amazing, a practice that has been going on for many years and the media nor academia has ever mentioned it AFAIK.

All the Deep Swampers are safe as long as they can present a resumé of their backstabbing accomplishments while in Trump’s employ. The spineless go-along-to-get-alongs will have to go. There has to have been active provable sedition against Trump.

The deep swamp has perhaps been made just a wee bit shallower.

Somebody cover me. I'm going in.

This is why the whole concept of Term Limits is meaningless. BureaucRATS have more power than elected officials.

We know that from experience here in Commiefornia. The BureaucRATS draft legislation in cahoots with lobbyists and foreign governments and the politicians are told how to vote in order to get their cut.

Now, if you want to include BureaucRATS in your Term Limits, you might actually accomplish something beneficial for the American taxpayers.

I'm sure there are more than just a few FReepers who have spent their lifetimes sucking at the government teat who will want to weigh in. Commence flaming, teat suckers.

Good! I hope every one of them will help to lead the “RESIST” movement for the next four years. Undermine Biden, from inside government, the way America’s enemies undermined Trump.

HUNDREDS of Obama appointees were made permanent civil service jobs when he left office.

[DoodleDawg]

If approved, the newly minted civil servants will enjoy stronger job protections than a political appointee.

And nothing prevents the incoming administration from promoting those 'newly minted civil servants' to the position of Deputy Assistant Undersecretary for Carpets and Light Fixtures or something similarly meaningless and waiting for them to resign.

[hinckley buzzard]

Dozens of Obama saboteurs still lurking in the swamp.

There are still holdovers from the Clinton Administration!

[glaseatr]

Upon The start of Trumps second term, those that have "Burrowed" their way into civil service jobs need to be fired.
They have shown to be swamp creatures at best and Democrat operatives at worse.

I suspect it is in the thousands.🤔
