This in itself is reason to vote Trump. Fire everyone at the IRS.

Feds are a massive reservoir of Democratic voters. Why unnecessarily push them towards Hillary?

As Hill might say, "What difference does it make?"

Start with the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of our National Security organizations.

1- I’ll never understand why Bush didn’t do this.

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.

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.

Can you cite a single case of "misuse" of executive orders on Obama's part?

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.

Why give the opposition additional time to try to stop 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.

Start with the VA bureaucrats. They are organized crime.

It'll be easier if Trump abolishes the VA, pulls out a clean sheet of paper and starts over from scratch.

Excuse me, but congress & the public sector service union/s & their contracts will have something to say about that. Even though I would love to see a purge of the useless gov’t employees!

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.

I disagree you need “disinterested” in the sense of nonpolitical continuity.
What should have been specifically maintained was a system where government workers did not vote. Originally all the fedgov was essentially in the federal district. The federal district up until recently could not participate in national election. If I remember this right the historical behavior of Roman mobs in intimidating the cardinals into “selecting” the “right pope” was cited as an example as to why a capital city needed to be nonpolitical.

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.
