Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.
Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.
Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.
This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

Kewl....it's not my gif. I found it on internet. Looks great to me.

The ones who were agents for Iran must be held accountable.
The cold war never bothered me anyway

That grin is both sardonic and mellifluous. And one day, that damn kid will get the same grin from a 20-something pharmacist assistant. It’s all part of the circle of life.
Now get the IRS, EPA, Dept of Education, Interior just to name a few.. Energy, Treasury audit the FED..
defitinely!!!!
They will easily slide into cozy perches in academe, those who want to do so.
There they will eagerly join in the libtard indoctrination of new generations.
The one and only (if there were two of me I’d be worried!)
There would be a long line of volunteers for the firing squad?
Clean out the Obama-bots
You forgot the all important’A’!
Hating on government employees is very popular particularly among the Chest Beating crowd.
Pensions for ex-feds are in no way outrageous nor does the unions prevent firing for cause. Lying about your credentials is a good way to get fired.
About a third of gov employees vote conservative. Most do a good job.
Gov unions have little power. They are not allowed to strike
and it is not required that you join. So, without these weapons, they are neutered.
One of the bad ones is the disgraced Lois Lerner formerly of the IRS. I hope she will be indicted. Somebody said there is a petition asking for her to lose her pension, etc, but I haven’t found it.
Look, this isn’t even debateable. He can remove them from positions. He can’t cut pay, he can’t relocate them more than 50 miles from previous place of work, he can’t make working conditions horrible. All that is lawsuits he would lose.
You guys only have a vague notion of what federal employee regs are and what the unions secured. It’s far worse than you think. YOU CAN’T DO THESE THINGS. The courts have to adjudicate by rule of contract law and these things are all in contracts.
Hell, you can’t even get pensions cut without the courts saying no. You think you can get people put into buildings with no facilities? You have no clue.
Fine. Do the soon-to-be-former employees have 4 years of lawyer fee money? It will be intentionally tied up in courts for years. Trump is a master of working with lawyers and why he is the biggest threat to the status quo in modern times.
You say all these things that cannot be done to GS employees but on the base where I've worked since June 1988 GS are canned all the time. Some 13 and 14's. You just have yo know what to put on the paperwork.
I totally agree! LOL!
Pack your belongings under supervision and get gone! ;)
And it's no accident the ISIS guy is holding an American rifle.
Wasn’t PATCO some sort of union?
Exactly. I could not agree more.
Which is why the Ninth Circuit’s decision is such a mess. Broadcast your intentions...Not a good idea.
The president mentioned that in the press conference. He wanted to do it immediately so that people wouldn’t flood in.
Now, thanks to the Ninth Circus, that is shot to heck.
