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

Purging used in this context is more geared to the old Stalinist Purges or Nazi purges of Jews ...

So you're for that which Trump is doing? Getting rid of loyal people for the sake of his pick of the litter as it were???

 
What I find disturbing is the progressive left's apparent approval of unelected, unaccountable people deciding what US foreign policy should be.

The PEOPLE elect the President, and the President sets policy. Elections have consequences, unless you are part of the ruling elite.

If you would like to see where that ends look up Russia when it was run by the Bureaus in the 1500's and 1600's.

It's not good for the people.

You oppose Putin telling Trump what US policy should be?

Pootins putz in the White House was obummer. Your hero.

Putin now owns the greatest Putz of all Putzes and the greatest Putz there will ever be, comrade Donald Trump.

If only you had evidence of that. So far the available evidence proves you to be an imbecile.

Obummer, your hero, let pootin run roughshod over Ukraine. Trump hasn't.

Obummer, your hero, allowed pootins troops to violate US Areas of Operation. Trump allowed our troops to kill them.

So, a thinking person, which leaves you out, comes to the obvious conclusion that obummer did his masters bidding while Trump has stopped pootin wherever possible.

Donald Trump is Putin's poodle. He wouldn't have sent any aid if it hadn't been for the whistleblower.
Better Russian than democrat. Better anything than democrat.
 
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 followeddemocrat.youn 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.”

About bloody time.

... for the rise of poorly-educated, red-hat-wearing, anus-kissers that follow dear leader Donald Trump?

Trumpery is a greater danger to America than any other political ideology. Thank god most of the sufferers of Trumpery are compelled to wear red hats to identify them t the uninfected public.
You know what to do. Get busy.

Hell, the Dems appear to have sold us out to both the Russians and the Chinese.

Disloyalty to trump is NOT disloyalty to the United States of America. He is one "man." He does NOT represent the people of the United States of America.
 
Purging competent employees is why the Trump Administration is such a dumpster fire. It is why the markets are tanking. Trump and is inept and incompetent cohorts can't get anything they continue to rscrew up and screw up. Trillions are being lost because of Trumpist morons.

Trump is purging anyone who is not willing to lie for him.

Yes, there is no global warming
Yes, a hurricane is headed for Alabama
Yes, Coronavirus is no worse than the flu.
