Obama has assured President-elect Trump of a “smooth” transition.
Have we ever witnessed a bigger liar in our White House?
I don’t think so.

If you cannot fire them just channel Sheriff Joe and build tent cities in rural areas for these bureaucrats to work in. Nothing in federal law guarantees where an agency is located or where works is done so put them in the sticks in surplus army tents without hearing or cooling until they quit. Just make sure the conditions match those of the military and the left does not have a rhetorical leg to stand on.

This must be what was described as Democrat “talent”.

They gotta know this is not gonna stick!
So why the games?
I think Trump will not only fire the excess, he’ll fire the managers that brought in the excess.

government workers don't do anything all day. Well, they do watch porn all day, so there's at least that.

Federal employees are subject to a probationary period (I believe 6 months, might 3 months or a year, can’t remember). Simply let them go at the end of the probation.

A thing to remember: Federal employees have a ONE YEAR PROBATIONARY PERIOD. I may be wrong but I believe that federal employees can be fired without cause during that first year. If that is the case, it would be appropriate for the new administration to throw out the trash that the Obama regime is inserting into the bureaucracy now.

And we thought ripping the Ws off keyboards was egregious.

To prevent Russian hacking build a new Federal facility on Wake or Midway islands.

Good idea. They could build a government facility in Antarctica and send them all there. That would be fun.

Just what does he think he's accomplishing with this?

They also should put Obama’s boot-licking generals in forward observation posts to build moral.

...it would be appropriate for the new administration to throw out the trash that the Obama regime is inserting into the bureaucracy now. Totally agree. Dump every new hire that is still on probation, then go after those who've bored their way down into the bureaucracy over the years.

I’d send the responsible department heads to new offices in Death Valley, California. All the new hires would be given buckets and mops and told to keep the rest rooms spotless. Make everyone’s lives miserable. Most would quit.

actually I believe that trump will be able to fire any employ that has worked less then a year for the federal government if he wants to so all this extra hiring is just more actions that Trump will have to fix and when he fires theses new hires it will be used to try and discredit him and to show how mean he is by the left.
