“Schedule F”: The 'Chilling' Trump Plan That Could Pave The Way For Authoritarianism

More bull shit Huffington spin designed to scare voters while we have a freaking president today who has his trembling thumb on the nuclear codes but zones out on where he is.

“This feels like the biggest problem that the fewest people understand about a potential second Trump administration,” one expert said.

Donald Trump has no greater enemy than the United States’ federal bureaucracy — what he calls the “deep state.” And he has a plan to bend it to his will if he’s elected in November.

The plan, to create something called “Schedule F,” would make tens of thousands of civil servants easier to fire, fundamentally changing the nature of the federal government — and, some worry, paving the way for authoritarianism.
Schedule F is a new category, or schedule, of federal workers who are exempt from codified job protections, like being hired and fired based on merit and having the ability to appeal disciplinary action.

The majority of federal civil service employees, from climate scientists to bank examiners to IT specialists, are covered by these protections; some positions, like postal workers and intelligence officers, are currently exempt. That system ensures that experience and skill, rather than political favoritism or personal connections, guide hiring and firing decisions within the federal government.

But conservatives have long complained that the president should exercise more control over the federal bureaucracy, and Trump in particular has said it needs to be “brought to heel.”

Trump created Schedule F in an October 2020 executive order. Under that order, federal workers involved in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making and policy-advocating positions” — a vague description that would include at least tens of thousands of people — would be stripped of their civil service protections and reclassified as “at-will” appointees, meaning they could be hired or fired for any reason, or none at all.

Because the order came so late in Trump’s presidency, only a handful of agencies created lists of specific jobs that would be eligible for conversion to Schedule F. And President Joe Biden reversed the order before any jobs could actually be converted.

But Trump has explicitly said he’ll pursue Schedule F again if he’s elected. In a campaign video last year, Trump referred to Schedule F as an effort to “remove rogue bureaucrats.”

“I will wield that power very aggressively,” he said.

More scary stuff from the mind of Trump to bend our institutions to his will. What do you think?
When it comes to "Schedule F." it needs to be ramped up to what I call "Schedule O.C.", or in full printed title, "Operation Cremation." G'ment employees are SERVANTS of the people, that means that they are LOWER in status than the privately employed citizens that PAY them(government employed citizens) to work for the privately employed citizen. The cost(INFLATION) of these bogus unionist government employees, & the elimination of that cost is ONE of several issues that ever more Americans desire to see curtailed as much as reasonably possible. As can be viewed in the below links one finds that the vast majority of privately employed American citizens are not content let alone happy with the cost of federal government, & also the fed overreach. The continual war for the sake of war is also NOT acceptable.



Below; This is the latest on this poll(2 days ago) This map had more blue on it 3 weeks ago but after the statist left sided with hamas the blue on the map that was there is now not there. Other polls also show a major support to the right but polls vary anywhere up to about seven percent.



Below; Senator Tommy Tuberville grimly lets the senate body know WHY the American privately employed citizens are not happy with the fed g'ment.
