President Donald Trump surely realizes that most workers employed by the federal government diabolically oppose his views of America.
According to a new report, at least 180 of those employees "have signed up for a workshop featuring expert advice on workers’ rights and expressing civil disobedience." Also, dozens more federal workers have attended a support groups for discussing opposition to the Trump administration.
As President Trump settles into the White House, he will have to start examining ways to expedite his transition from the top down. His agenda is nothing more than words in the long term if the people working for him fail to carry out his promises.
Not showing up to work, taking extended vacations, filing worker's rights lawsuits, and obstructing the process in any way possible are just a few of the legal ways federal workers can bring President Trump's agenda to a halt.
From the CIA to the State Department, at some point, a mass overhaul of former employees from the Clinton, Bush and Obama eras has to happen. President Trump can sign as many executive orders as he wants, but it will mean nothing in the long run if the people who stood behind him during the campaign are not serving him as employees.

Time to start filing lawsuits against these government "workers" for failing to carry out their stated duties? If we can't fire them, let's bankrupt them.

Are these people serious??
I was an FCC attorney right out of law school (for three months - worst three months of my life). If some of these no doubt underperformers took extended vacations or otherwise didn’t show up to work things would undoubtedly be better for the rest of us.

"a support groups for discussing opposition to the Trump administration."
That's an ambiguous way of describing a plot to overthrow the government.

So earlier we read about the 900 Fed workers’ petition against Trump. Add these 180.
That’s 1,080 pink slips on the tally now. Keep ‘em comin’!

President Donald Trump surely realizes that most workers employed by the federal government diabolically oppose his views of America. Diabolically? True enough, but I think the proper word would be diametrically...

Fire them and replace them with unemployed coal miners, steelworkers, and automotive employees; see what kind of jobs these fools can get in the private sector after losing highly paid federal employment.
