FEDERAL AGENCIES Tears, angst as workforce braces for Trump takeover

U.S. EPA employees were in tears. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off. Others might retire early.

And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory.

"People are upset. Some people took the day off because they were depressed," said John O'Grady, president of American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents thousands of EPA employees. After Election Day, "people were crying," added O'Grady, who works in EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago. "They were recommending that people take sick leave and go home."

FBI, DHS, and DoD employees I know are cheering and crying tears of joy at Trump's victory.

The EPA? Abolish it and fire their employees.

The Dept of Education?

The same.

The IRS? Punish all those who participated in Fascist thuggary against Christians, Jews, and Conservatives under Obama.

I believe Trump wants to freeze Federal hiring and reduce it the workforce through attrition outside of the Military and Border Security.

That would be a VERY smart thing to do.

The AFSCME union rep hasn't entered my office since I was hired. When I was hired and refused to join the union, I put up an autographed picture of Ronald Reagan on the wall opposite my entrance doorway. She absolutely refused to enter my office and wouldn't even stand in the doorway because she could see the picture from there.

Now that I've moved to a new job with added responsibilities, I'm able to keep her out of the entire building .. my office sits there at the entryway to the building and I've got Ronaldus Maximus' picture there opposite the entryway.

Now I can put up a picture of Donald Trump next to it, and hopefully, she won't even enter the parking lot.

Better than garlic and a cross against a vampire!

As Kennedy said on her show a couple days ago: “I drink their tears out of a crystal goblet.”

Useless EPA. They’re threatening to retire early or just resign! Can they go NOW?

Purge all the Obamabots.

10% across the board cut with new hires axed first unless there’s some special circumstances.

Need to do away with Dept. of Education entirely.

As I continue to read about the histrionics of the Left, I can only wonder at what insulated lives most of them seem to have lived.

Have these people never encountered true adversity in their lives?

If not, how will they ever survive when they inevitably will?

Time for them to get real jobs in the private sector.

.....should have no problem getting a 6 figure job with benefits in the industries they one regulated. That’s what they’re worth, after all.

“I think it’s a sadness and a worry about just how far someone will go, especially when you never believe anything he says,”


I like what some wag at the Atlantic said during the campaign.
“The press takes Trump literally but not seriously,
while his supporters take him seriously but not literally.”

They said the same thing when Reagan was elected.

I’m sure there are some REAL American citizens ready and willing to take their jobs.

What about the 25% of the Federal parasite employees who promised to quit if Trump won? I hope someone holds them to it. Do we have a list of names? Probably not. DANG! Big mistake.

Start with attrition, then pink slips, LIFO, then a gradual winding down concluded by complete liquidation, with transfer of their physical assets to the GSA for distribution to useful agencies like the Border Patrol.

Next up:
The IRS

They’re not experiencing anything like the private sector. Their jobs are not on the line; they’re just whining about the possibility of some accountability. If 50% were laid off, that would just be a good start.

I would love to see every czar fired, every “regulatory” agency disbanded, and every executive order rescinded or at least reviewed. Make Congress assume their duties for all federal legislation within the bounds of their Constitutional powers.

Defund the Leviathan, and give the power back to the States and people

Special snowflakes with brown shirts and badges, are scared they’ll now have to get real jobs, and will no longer have the power to lord over the productive class.

The sooner these commies are in the unemployment line, the better.
