Since every President in U.S. history has rid his Adminsitration of employees who work, against him, then this OP and thread title make absolutely no sense, whatsoever, and they prove that you suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Trump...as usual...conflates loyalty to the country (or the office of the president) with loyalty to him, personally. Perhaps that should be fealty.

Can't recall this sort of things happening before. I wonder if this means combing Facebook and private lives?


White House Confirms It's Purging Disloyal Employees 'From the Bowels of the Federal Government'

The White House this week confirmed it is combing through federal agencies to identify employees not sufficiently loyal to President Trump to facilitate their ouster, sparking concerns the administration could run afoul of long-established civil service laws.

The administration is examining employees throughout the government to find anyone taking action officials decide represents an effort to undermine Trump, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said on Fox News Monday. Gidley did not specifically mention career employees, who are statutorily protected against political retaliation, but did note the “millions” of individuals agencies employ. By contrast, there are only about 4,000 political appointees in government.

“It’s not a secret that we want people in positions that work with this president, not against him, and too often we have people in this government—I mean the federal government is massive, with millions of people—and there are a lot people out there taking action against this president and when we find them we will take appropriate action,” Gidley said.

His comments followed reports in Axios that the administration maintains “deep state” hit lists of employees to fire and the president has tasked the head of the Presidential Personnel Office, Johnny McEntee, to purge “bad people” who are not loyal to him. The latter report mentioned only political appointees, who serve at the pleasure of the president and can be dismissed at will, but Gidley’s comments this week appeared to go further.

“Time and time again we see in the media reports from people in the bowels of the federal government working against this president,” he said.

Gidley added that unelected federal workers were pushing “their own selfish political agenda” rather than advancing and executing Trump’s.

The latest comments do not mark the first time the Trump administration has stretched the limits of what is allowable under civil service protections. The number of federal employees proving their agencies took prohibited personnel practices against them reached an all-time high in Trump’s first year in office, according to the Office of Special Counsel. The State Department’s inspector general released two reports this year finding that the department illegally engaged in the political targeting of career employees. Federal law prohibits agencies from discriminating against any employee on the basis of political affiliation, or for any federal official to “coerce any applicant or employee to engage in political activity, or to retaliate against such individuals based on partisan politics.”

What we learned from witnesses in the Dem's impeachment hoax is that leaving the Dem's anti-Trump employees working in the Trump Admin, caused those employees to lose their minds, as they began to hallucinate that the U.S. President should obey them plus their thoughts ---and not the other way around.

Believe it or not ... The coward Obama did actually ask Bush43 to do this same thing, to China, during the summer of 2008 in July I believe.

Yeah. More importantly, the benighted, authoritarian goof thinks that career officials watchful the "law be faithfully executed", and the power of the office be used in the nation's - as opposed to the officeholder's private - interest, is a Democratic conspiracy, and best described as insubordination.

i can go back and look at all admins but the ones i have looked at all say about the same - they put their people with their mindsets into play and let the other ones go. it comes with the role and responsibilities.

yet as per usual when you have people cheering for a side, not a country, you get these "wah" type posts that cry out how unfair someone is, even though they're doing the very same things the guys you liked did.

when you hate someone, you tend to bitch. when you don't you simply don't pay attention to what they do to that degree. human nature that i do wish when called on it, we could at least admit / agree to it as such. however, we can't do that it seems.

trump did nothing unusual here. while it's true he does fly through some positions, a lot of that is the nature of our political climate in as much as trump himself. people get tired of the bullshit and just want to move on with their lives. or yes, trump doesn't like you and he fires you.

his right.

this won't stop people from bitching unfortunately. but it does make it harder to discuss things when people take a side over understanding.

Yeah, "all administrations"...

You missed, quite apparently, this, from the OP: "The White House this week confirmed it is combing through federal agencies to identify employees not sufficiently loyal to President Trump ..." Of course, you didn't miss it, you just lie on behalf of the Dear Leader, and deliberately confuse firings of political appointees over policy disagreements with firings, supposedly of career civil servants, for lack of loyalty to Trump.

Abject subservience to the Dear Leader is not a requirement to hold public office, or to serve the nation in any capacity. In a Republic, governed by laws, not men, public servants are supposed to follow the law, not the will of the Fuehrer. Whoever opts for the latter is an insult to the Founding Fathers, and a potential threat to the constitutional order that distinguishes a Republic from a tinpot dictatorship.

The White House this week confirmed it is combing through federal agencies to identify employees not sufficiently loyal to President Trump to facilitate their ouster, sparking concerns the administration could run afoul of long-established civil service laws.

The administration is examining employees throughout the government to find anyone taking action officials decide represents an effort to undermine Trump, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said on Fox News Monday. Gidley did not specifically mention career employees, who are statutorily protected against political retaliation, but did note the “millions” of individuals agencies employ. By contrast, there are only about 4,000 political appointees in government.

“It’s not a secret that we want people in positions that work with this president, not against him, and too often we have people in this government—I mean the federal government is massive, with millions of people—and there are a lot people out there taking action against this president and when we find them we will take appropriate action,” Gidley said.

His comments followed reports in Axios that the administration maintains “deep state” hit lists of employees to fire and the president has tasked the head of the Presidential Personnel Office, Johnny McEntee, to purge “bad people” who are not loyal to him. The latter report mentioned only political appointees, who serve at the pleasure of the president and can be dismissed at will, but Gidley’s comments this week appeared to go further.

“Time and time again we see in the media reports from people in the bowels of the federal government working against this president,” he said.

Gidley added that unelected federal workers were pushing “their own selfish political agenda” rather than advancing and executing Trump’s.

The latest comments do not mark the first time the Trump administration has stretched the limits of what is allowable under civil service protections. The number of federal employees proving their agencies took prohibited personnel practices against them reached an all-time high in Trump’s first year in office, according to the Office of Special Counsel. The State Department’s inspector general released two reports this year finding that the department illegally engaged in the political targeting of career employees. Federal law prohibits agencies from discriminating against any employee on the basis of political affiliation, or for any federal official to “coerce any applicant or employee to engage in political activity, or to retaliate against such individuals based on partisan politics.”

So this upsets you and it doesn't matter who else did it?

Who else went after civil service employees?

The White House travel office controversy, sometimes referred to as Travelgate,[1][2] was the first major ethics controversy of the Clinton administration. It began in May 1993, when seven employees of the White House Travel Office were fired. This action was unusual because although staff employees serve at the pleasure of the President and could be dismissed without cause, in practice, such employees usually remain in their posts for many years.

The White House stated the firings were done because financial improprieties in the Travel Office operation during previous administrations had been revealed by an FBI investigation. Critics contended the firings were done to allow friends of President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to take over the travel business and that the involvement of the FBI was unwarranted. Heavy media attention forced the White House to reinstate most of the employees in other jobs and remove the Clinton associates from the travel role."

"Hillary Clinton gradually came under scrutiny for allegedly having played a central role in the firings and making false statements about her involvement therein. In 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate. He sought no charges against her, saying that while some of Clinton's statements were factually false, there was insufficient evidence that these statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements led to the firings."

Trump...as usual...conflates loyalty to the country (or the office of the president) with loyalty to him, personally. Perhaps that should be fealty.

Can't recall this sort of things happening before. I wonder if this means combing Facebook and private lives?

You said right at the beginning: they serve at the pleasure of the president. They aren't civil service. It obviously a crappy thing to do, but presidents can fire appointees

Since every President in U.S. history has rid his Adminsitration of employees who work, against him, then this OP and thread title make absolutely no sense, whatsoever, and they prove that you suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Trump...as usual...conflates loyalty to the country (or the office of the president) with loyalty to him, personally. Perhaps that should be fealty.

What we learned from witnesses in the Dem's impeachment hoax is that leaving the Dem's anti-Trump employees working in the Trump Admin, caused those employees to lose their minds, as they began to hallucinate that the U.S. President should obey them plus their thoughts ---and not the other way around.

Trump is free to fire his political appointees

Even the President must comply with Civil Service Laws.

You can and you should get, fired, when going to work being insubordinate daily just because you don't like your boss.

Civil Service Laws put the burden of proof on the accuser. It takes more than conspiracy theories to fire someone.
Telling the truth is not a fireable offense.

I saw one of those “disloyal” employees on TV this morning.

Trump claimed a Coronavirus vaccine would be available in three months, worst case, a year.

The Director of NIH was sitting at the same table and immediately spoke up and said it would take a year to a year and a half to release a vaccine.

Should such “disloyalty” get him fired?

Yeah, this Derp State purge bullshit is dangerous. Donald is behaving like a 7 year old wannabe prick-tater.

Still mad he didn't get his idiotic military parade I guess.
