This executive order is much needed. Contrary to what the article claims, government workers are not apolitical. Finally, the federal government will be able to remove deep-state bureaucrats who are impeding the implementation of the Trump agenda. Whether or not the individual department heads will actually take out the trash remains to be seen.

“””Contrary to what the article claims, government workers are not apolitical.””””

My wife works for the government. If they found out she was a Trump supporter they would throw her out the window.

people like lawyers and scientists who are are not political appointees, but serve from administration to administration regardless of which party controls the White House.

i.e., "the swamp" that wants more & more government money for themselves. Money from taxpayers or money "creation", leveraged on the back of same.

The Privileged Class of Fedgov “workers” needs to be taken down a couple of pegs.

Fire most of them. Put the rest on Obamacare Bronze level, peg their salaries to median private sector salaries, transfer all their pensions into the Social Security Trust Fund and they can retire when they’re 68, not 50.

So it doesn't make a difference who controls the WH. These unelected schmucks ARE the government. They control. They are unaccountable. They are dangerous, they are by and large bad people, in the job for power, control, and money.

Imagine every single agency undermined by political hacks.
No need to imagine. That's what we have.

“the laws, the rules, the regulations, the scientific theories, all of the things that go into public policy. Somebody has to understand that.”

Shouldn’t the people expected to obey the laws and regulations be able to understand them too?

A mere theory is a weak basis for infringements on liberty.

I’ve been a lifelong computer software contractor. I absolutely love what I do for a living and I’m good at it. The only jobs I hated where those that had to do with a government agency. They were filled with the most conniving backstabbing evil sons of bitches I ever met. It was rare to find a nice person. But when you did they were afraid to speak and were usually those that kept quiet and set at their desk all day.

That is why I don’t want The government running anything, let alone everything.

Remember Lois Learner of the IRS?Don’t know if her position would have been covered here but I do know that she was PROTECTED from above and below!

It may be hard to believe but through the first century of this country, the majority of US Government employees were in the Post Office.

Line them all up and fire every 10th one.

Then tell them every week they don’t do what is ordered there will be a new line-up and 5th one will be fired.

You won’t need the second line-up.

“It's absolutely critical because of the complexity of that world — the laws, the rules, the regulations, the scientific theories, all of the things that go into public policy. Somebody has to understand that. You can't look at the Cliffs Notes and get it. You need people with deep technical expertise who are there regardless of party who provide neutral competence to whoever is in power."

Wrong. THAT is how you create advocates whose “expertise” becomes a religion rather than an rationally-developed conclusion.

If they claim to be apolitical, why are they all leftist social justice pukes?

I pray Trump wins.

If he doesn’t he should govern with an IRON fist till 1/19/21.

Burn down as much as he can. He should issue an Executive Order a day that targets the Swamp. Fire Wray and Haspel and declassify EVERY Deep State Secret he can. Demand Barr launch a Special Counsel into Biden Corruption. If Barr won’t do it, fire him.

THEN - Trump should get out of Real Estate and build a Media Empire comprised of News, Social Media, and Entertainment and DOG Biden EVERY Day. Hire all the best Conservative talent from Fox, etc. and spend the next 2 years on the attack till the 2022 Mid-Terms.

Finally-Trump should run AGAIN in 2024.
