You're fired! Trump to purge federal government of Obama henchmen with aid of new law making it easier to ax civil servants
Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor heading shadow transition team, reveal plan for law change to clear out Obama's appointees 'As you know from his other career, Donald like to fire people,' Christie said in closed-door meeting with donors Campaign is drawing up list of federal employees it wants fired if Trump wins the election Christie said law change is needed because Obama could make his appointees proper civil servants who are more difficult to ax Move would be an attempt by Democrats to embed liberal ideas and practices on government after party is booted from White House If he wins the presidency, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would seek to purge the federal government of officials appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama and could ask Congress to pass legislation making it easier to fire public workers, Trump ally, Chris Christie, said on Tuesday.
Christie, who is governor of New Jersey and leads Trump's White House transition team, said the campaign was drawing up a list of federal government employees to fire if Trump defeats Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 presidential election.
'As you know from his other career, Donald likes to fire people,' Christie told a closed-door meeting with dozens of donors at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, according to an audio recording obtained by Reuters and two participants in the meeting.

REMEMBER HOW REGAN FIRED THE AIRTRAFIC CONTROLERS
This in itself is reason to vote Trump. Fire everyone at the IRS.
As Hill might say, "What difference does it make?"
Start with the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of our National Security organizations.
To bad he can’t get libtard fed judges even at the USSC level.
Fist priority is to use 1 EO to reverse all DUMBOS’s EO’s!
Because it would never make it through Congress.
I believe they broke the law by striking, which gave Reagan all the authority he needed to fire them. This is a bit different.
Donald Regan?
This is why Obama has installed 20 year old sycophants in every single position of the federal government. This is also why the colleges are all liberal. Obama will be entrenched for generations. If Trump can pull this off it will be miraculous. Otherwise the country still swirls down the toilet because of the untouchable bureaucracy.
Perhaps misuse is the wrong word.
Perhaps "abuse" would be better. I was trying to describe the contemptuous way that Obama has used executive orders to circumvent Congress' constitutional role of Advise and Consent throughout his imperial reign. Obama's abuse of power has given him the closest thing to dictatorial, one man rule I have ever seen in the 70 years I've lived.
Obama opened the door, Trump is free to use it. And I doubt that the surviving members of the old GOP will have the will to do or say anything about it.
1) They knew Bush wouldn't do it.
2) They are terrified Trump might do it, so they are already preparing to stop it.
3) The benefit in rallying the base from announcing it now and making it a campaign theme is greater than the risk of alarming the soon-to-be deposed villains...who are already alarmed.
I used to work for a corporation but was separate from the facility itself. My supervisor was 3 hrs away. A lot of the people that worked there complained about the manager and wanted him gone. I told them they should thank their lucky stars that he left them alone and if someone new came in they’d be sorry. Sure enough he left for a new job and the new manager cleaned house. When she was done there was hardly anyone left.
That’s what they all do.
A good method is wholesale elimination of departments. It needs to be done anyway.
It'll be easier if Trump abolishes the VA, pulls out a clean sheet of paper and starts over from scratch.
Uh huh, sure.
Corrupt government employee unions at all levels need to be abolished. And I think they will be.
The quote is total nonsense. The only “protected” employees are those w/Civil Service status; a reform that dates back to Andrew Jackson. Everyone else can and should be shown the door.
Many unionize government employees and their union bosses have become accustomed to seeing themselves as our masters instead of our, “public servants.” Of course the Founders warned us this could easily happen if left unchecked.
Btw, there are now more unionized government employees than exist in all of private sector America. This is totally out of control.
Broadcasting this now only confirms that the day he is elected, the shredding will begin.
However, this alone is reason enough to vote for him over Hitlery.
So if you're a fed you give up the right to vote in fed elections but can then vote in state, county, etc. I think the principle should be extended to state, county and municipal workers. Whatever government entity signs your paycheck you can't vote in that level of government election.
