Report: ‘Anxiety and Confusion’ Besets ‘Deep State’ as Purge Begins
Breitbart ^ | 01/22/2025 | Wendell Husebo

The administrative state is petrified that President Donald Trump will fulfill his promise of purging the government of rogue and corrupt actors within the “deep state.”

Many establishment media outlets reported Wednesday about Trump’s early stages of the purge with more than 1,000 firings, raising hopes among America First voters that the federal bureaucracy will be accountable to their new boss, who won a landslide election.

“Bureaucracies hate the American people,” Trump’s OMB nominee Russ Vought previously told Tucker Carlson. “The American people currently are not in control of their government, and the President hasn’t been either.”

Federal govt could easily do all essential tasks with half the present workforce, maybe less.

Agree, and that’s why we’re unlikely to see an outright strike - all it does is identify the redundant and unnecessary. They’ll slow-walk everything they can, but they’ll do so with their eyes over their shoulders.

When you speak to government bureaucrats and other leftists, it becomes clear some of them have an ability to think logically and abstractly, but this ability almost never extends to an analysis of their own judgements, and you can’t help but notice a lack of any significant judgment of leftist ideology.

It’s my understanding that Federal employees unions was created by a JFK EO.
If they get out of hand and strike, Trump can revoke the EO and hire replacements as needed and fire the strikers.

That’s because their primary tool is RATIONALIZATION.

But as I just posted on the other thread, any structure of logic crumbles and falls when the initial premise is wrong.

Leftists’ main problem is in their susceptibility to false premises.

The Deep State has awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.

You are correct, but also incorrect.

My understanding is the JFK did create the ability for Federal Government employees to unionize. EO 10988 in Jan 17, 1962.

However, President Nixon replaced EO 10988 expanding and restructuring labor-management relations.

Then, under Carter, the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 took many of those EO provisions and turned them into law.

To get rid of Government Unions now requires an act of Congress to change it. Could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

Thanks. I checked, You’re right. The 1978 Civil Service reform statute screwed it all up. No chance of getting rid of that one.
