Should an ideological purity test be applied to federal employees?

Conservative group’s ‘watch list’ targets federal employees for firing

An organization funded by the conservative Heritage Foundation has compiled an online “watch list” of federal employees it claims cannot be trusted to secure the U.S. border and should be fired, a sign that supporters of Donald Trump’s immigration policies are preparing to help him neutralize the administrative state they believe tried to thwart his first presidency.

The “DHS Bureaucrat Watch List” — a website unveiled in the final weeks of a presidential campaign in which immigration is a key issue — names 51 federal policy experts and high-ranking leaders, the majority of whom are career civil servants at the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies. The group identified them largely using public social media comments, prior work experience and campaign finance records.

Among the employees’ actions cited by the group are posts celebrating the legalization of same-sex marriage or lauding the contributions and successes of undocumented immigrants, as well as donations as little as $10 to Democratic candidates. One employee union likened the effort to unearth the private views of public employees to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s 1950s-era campaign to purge federal workers he accused of being communists.

I suspect getting trumples to answer the question posed in the subject line will be a bit like herding cats but I'm asking you folks to do so anyway.

Should a federal employee be faced with the risk of termination for the views he/she holds on something like the legally protected right (Obergefell) to same sex marriage? What does a person's opinion on same sex marriage have to do with their competence to do their job?

Is it possible the threat of termination could be used as a means of intimidation to get federal employees to comply with directives that are in violation of the law?

Would you trump supporters object if you learned Biden had compiled a list of federal employees earmarked for termination based on the employee's views regarding gun control?

Hehehehehehe, worried much there Lefty! Already trying to spin what will happen are we-)

Should tell EVERYONE what even the Left thinks of this election.

What we need do is take inventory after Trump and friends CRUSH these Socialist phony-e-baloneys, and start addressing these phony's here, like MACAFLOOZY, Dragonchicklette, and the Golfinggatorwealthywannabe.

Yes, I know we are looking at a very small sample of Leftist lunatics as we are looking on here, but if you want to continue to destroy a large swath of them everywhere, then practice on here, lol.

Do you have personal days at work? If so, USE them for the rest of the week after the election. There will probably be unrest unless Trump loses, and maybe even if he wins. If he wins..........which all indicators say he will..........you are going to have a totally strange situation-------------> an Administration who turns their back to everything law enforcement and border security in charge for a while of these agencies, as the new Administration flexes its muscle with rhetoric on both border, and sanctuary city; but can do absolutely nothing as Mamala and Jose' are in charge until January.

Expect Russia to use EVERYTHING they have to take as much of Ukraine as possible, so that their gains will be a bargaining chip in the settlement once Trump and friends take control. Watch Iran cut a quick deal to escape what Trump will do to them once he takes office economically, and China will go along with it for a deal on tariff relief.

This is how WORLD POLITICS work, and it will show you how BAD Biden and MAMALA actually were! Doubt me? Watch!
 
Civil service employees shouldn't be dissenting from doing their jobs. They aren't policy makers. And if they do object to doing their jobs, they should be fired.
No Federal employee should be forced to sign a loyal pledge to a criminal lowlife like Trump. Which is what he wants.

And that especially applies to our military.

The problem is that it is all made up
 
Elon Musk will fix that. Ron Paul will come out of retirement to help him.
The only thing Musk gives a shit about is lining his pockets with more Federal contracts steered his way by Trump & another tax cut.

Think he endorsed Trump because he thinks that he's great? Or a Statesman?

Trump is running & needs to win to keep his filthy ass out of prison.

Wrong

Nope

In conclusion- you are an idiot
 
It is not his intention.

But you of course can't see it happening currently because you are in that echo chamber.
It’s not happening, dope. That was the point.
Trump says it is to give himself cover to do it himself. You dopes eagerly and unwittingly oblige. Slavish fools.
 
Non-Progs have to spew their ways just like you now. We have to go whole banana republic. Up to now you were not the sane ones. It was the non progs keeping the nation together. Prog elites, politicians, entertainer, etc. speak like they do because they do not fear the opposition. You see none of them and their families getting killed. Nothing. And their nasty venom has gotten others killed. Riots, properties destroyed and/or burnt to the ground, looting, and maiming of citizens. And those living in the areas affected are paying the price today. Supermarkets, Wal Mart type stores, CVS type stores, Fast Food, Coffee and pastry stores, and more. Elderly people having to travel on public transportation further away to get what they need to survive. This while the evil cretins in Prog politics, entertainers, media people live high and mighty in their own enclaves. And they have not stopped. If there is any true justice, they will get theirs one day. Things happen not the way you expect them to as human history corrects itself. Only many perish and suffer.
What a horrible imaginary world you dopes have chosen to create for yourselves. :cuckoo:
 
It is a matter of whether the Chief Executive has confidence in the workers abilities to carry out the president's agenda. If there is a question of confidence the employee should be fired and replaced.
