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

[OKTexas]

The federal government has three branches, the executive, the legislative, the judicial.

The President is the elected leader of the executive branch.

People who work in the executive branch serve the President, and if they cannot do that, they should seek alternative employment.

Not exactly. If they are political appointees then yes, they serve at the pleasure of the president. Otherwise - they serve their country, their agency, or the office of the president. If they are not political appointees they are protected by civil service laws from political retaliation.

All in the executive branch are there to serve the president and further his policies, if they can't do that, they need to go. Period, mic drop.

.

That's wrong. Their first duty is to the United States.

When they try to deliberately undermine a duly elected president they aren't being loyal to anyone. Some would call it espionage or sedition.

.

The only POTUS who regards patriotic, moral, ethical, and dutiful conduct of government employees as espionage and sedition is Donald Trump.

Fuck off commie troll. Your TDS is showing.

Yeah, how dare Trump purge people actively undermining him and his agenda.

The nerve!

Grow the fuck up, asshat.

love the maturity level of the Trumpists!

Loyalty tests and political purges....not surprising you support them.

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?

Donald Trump is superior only to mental institution inmates with the worst cases of insanity. Like GOP lawmakers.

Oh Pleeeaaze. Get a grip on reality just for ONCE, girl! Do please tell us how many disloyal, dirty, snitching, leaking spies Obama had working next to him going 180° bucking him in his every effort making his job all the harder?

Tell us how many jobs you had where you did the exact opposite what your boss wanted you to do?

At least Trump gave these people four years chance to show their colors instead of getting canned on Day One like Obama did!

Time for you to slobber up, let the air out of your Trump punching doll and maybe go get yourself some Reichian Therapy for your TDS!

Denizen wants sloppy seconds. Funny how all the trump trolls are going ape because Trump is only doing what every other president of theirs ever did, mad that if Trump gets all of their scum out of high positions, there will be nobody left to spy on, leak and oppose Trump with.

Sad fact for all you leftist trash: Donald Trump is the Executive Officer of the USA! He is the Chief Military Officer, he is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer. He IS the United States!

Now get down on your fucking knees and kiss his ring! No general has the enemy working under him and by the time he gets reelected, he will have swept all of the trash out to the curb!

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.”

The only question I have is why did it take so long?

SURE they have, Toadie! At least my brain is tasty. Yours has been eaten by fungus and mold spores with spiders laying eggs in the remains.

How many leaders here would WANT people undermining them or tolerate/accept people undermining them? Disagreeing with a leader is not the same as undermining.
