Good day all. One thing we learned, as did President Trump in his first term, was that the Federal Bureaucracy is hostile to anything that restricts their power. Before the Tainted Election of 2020, President Trump was looking to start deep cuts in the unelected bureaucracy,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Dementia Joe was installed into the Oval Office, his handlers in the Deep State went on a federal hiring binge and allowing the bureaucrats run rampant in suppressing the American people. One of the things the Greatest President of the 21st<\/sup> Century, Donald Trump, has been talking about is gutting the out of control bureaucracy. This has alarmed Liberals, Progressives and the Deep State. Now they are looking for ways to block President Trump, should he win reelection, from cleaning house. Here are the details from the Daily Wire<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Liberal advocacy organizations are throwing support behind a proposed federal rule that would make firing bureaucrats more difficult amid polling suggesting that former President Donald Trump may win November\u2019s presidential election. <\/b><\/p>\n

The proposed Office of Personnel Management (OPM) rule would make it more difficult for civil servants to be reclassified as Schedule F employees, who can be fired at will by the president, according<\/a> to the federal register. Liberal organizations like Democracy Forward and Protect Democracy, which are involved<\/a> in efforts to obstruct a potential second Trump term, have voiced support for the rule. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bureaucrats in this country are flat out of control. Thanks to civil service laws, it\u2019s almost impossible to fire these people. Now, not all bureaucrats are evil, incompetent, power mad scum. I\u2019ve dealt with a few who were helpful, polite and worked with me to solve some problems I was having in a very timely manner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the flip side, I\u2019ve run into the stereotypical bureaucrats who are a complete waste of oxygen who need to be fired. When SWMBO first came to the United States, she ended up with two valid Social Security numbers. Obviously, there was a screw up somewhere. We did the right thing and went to the local Social Security office to get it straightened out. What a complete waste of time.<\/p>\n

I went on to a forum to vent, and ran into an employee of the Social Security Administration who was based in Washington and also had a wife who came in from another country. He offered to help me and we spoke directly. I sent him all the information and he looked into it. He also called the local SSA office we had been to. When we next talked, his first comment was \u201cMy God, those people are stupid!\u201d He had gotten everything straightened out and told me all we had to do was show up and present the two cards and some paperwork he sent us.<\/p>\n

When SWMBO and I went in, we saw the same woman we had been trying to work with at her window. She saw us and you could see the exasperated sigh she let out. We calmly waited our turn and when it came up, I simply said, \u201chello, we have a problem.\u201d and laid out the two cards and the letter we had been sent. The look on her face was perfect. She knew that she now had hours of work ahead of her to fix the mess she didn\u2019t want to deal with in the first place. SWMBO and I left and had a good laugh at the bureaucrats expense. She was definitely someone who should have been fired.<\/p>\n

Some conservative organizations have expressed opposition to the proposed rule, citing the necessity to root out political bias in the federal bureaucracy. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal workforce has ideologically polarized, and this rulemaking would impede the ability of presidents whose views differ from the bureaucracy\u2019s to implement their agendas,\u201d the America First Policy Institute argued in a letter<\/a> to OPM. <\/b><\/p>\n

That is the idea. The goal is to protect the bureaucracy at all costs, not to actually run things effectively for the current administration. If that administration is one that you oppose, then deliberate sabotage is the name of the game.<\/p>\n

Liberal organizations, however, support the rule change to guard against Trump replacing federal employees with \u201cpartisan loyalists,\u201d among other things. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Protect Democracy, which is composed of the 501(c)(3) Protect Democracy Project and the 501(c)(4) United to Protect Democracy, called the rule an effort to \u201cstrengthen a critical part of our democracy.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would help protect the basic employment rights of federal civil servants who swear an oath not to the person of the president, but to the Constitution and laws of the United States,\u201d according<\/a> to Protect Democracy. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Democracy Forward released a letter<\/a> representing a coalition of 27 organizations backing the rule change, claiming it would \u201censure that the American people are served by highly-qualified, experienced, and dedicated civil servants.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Highly qualified civil servants? Dedicated and experienced? Really?<\/p>\n
