Good day all. One of the things that the Greatest President of the 21st<\/sup> Century, Donald Trump, wanted to do was cut the number of federal employees during his first term. Unfortunately, he wasn\u2019t able to get rid of anywhere near the number that need to find real jobs and they worked to sabotage his plans to Make America Great Again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Add to this the issues he had with Congress. In the House you had Paul Ryano, who was just another Neocon Deep State Uniparty drone, and in the Senate you have Cocaine Mitch McConnell, who\u2019s only interest is Mitch McConnell. There was some dead wood clearing, mostly at the State Department.<\/p>\n

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

President Trump\u2019s people started looking at how they could truly downsize the bureaucracy without running into the issues caused by civil service protections. (Something that has been abused and needs to go away) His team came up with a plan they intended to implement after the election. Well, we know how that worked out, what with all the questionable election issues resulting in the Tainted Election of 2020.<\/p>\n

Once the Worst President* in American History had been strapped to the chair behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, (So he wouldn\u2019t fall out), his handlers began a massive hiring spree. Now with things looking up for the country in November, (Meaning that Dementia Joe Biden loses), it\u2019s quite likely that President Trump\u2019s new team will start implementing the original plans, suitably updated, to clear out the Bureaucratic Swamp. This has led the Deep State to have the Senile Hair Sniffer to sign some orders to block President Trump from doing this. Here are the details from the Daily Caller<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden\u2019s administration announced its plan on Thursday to protect bureaucrats from being fired by a potential second Trump administration. <\/b><\/p>\n

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

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) finalized a rule that protects employees in the civil service by preventing the removal of their status and protections involuntarily, according<\/a> to a press release. Under the new rule, an administration wishing to shift federal employees to a new category making them easier to fire would have to go through an elongated process, a move meant to be more time-consuming for a future president, Politico<\/a> reported. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCareer federal employees deliver critical services for Americans in every community,\u201d OPM Director Kiran Ahuja said in a press release. \u201cThis final rule honors our 2.2 million career civil servants, helping ensure that people are hired and fired based on merit and that they can carry out their duties based on their expertise and not political loyalty. The Biden-Harris Administration is deeply committed to the federal workforce, as these professionals are vital to our national security, our health, our economic prosperity, and much more.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I hate to tell this loser this, but anything you put in place can and will be reversed as soon as the new administration takes office. The second thing you might want to consider is that if both the house and senate flip to the Republicans and in a major way, they just might decide it\u2019s time to look at rewriting the law that created the Civil Service in 1871. (Being 150+ years old, it needs a review in any case)<\/p>\n

The rule is widely viewed as a response to an executive order signed in 2020 by former President Donald Trump<\/a>, Politico reported. The executive order targeted federal workers, removing protections from some employees and make it easier for the president to hire and fire them. <\/b><\/p>\n

One of the reasons that the Civil Service was created was to put an end to the crony system that Presidents used when they took office. They would put friends, family and \u201cDonors\u201d into government jobs. They would also fire others to make room for their people or because they didn\u2019t like them. When the Civil Service law was passed and the Civil Service system put into place, we had far fewer people working in the government and they were generally a lot more competent and interested in the success of the young nation.<\/p>\n

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

Today you have a few of those, but most are just there for the platinum health care and gold plated pensions. Many are not that competent and far to many are only interested in themselves and their department\/agency. (See Anthony Fauci) The American Bureaucratic state has become an actual threat to the Constitution, the Rule of law and the security of this country. This is why President Trump was looking to get rid of the worst of the worst.<\/p>\n

The executive order took some entrenched bureaucrats \u201cin positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character\u201d and put them in a different category considered \u201cSchedule F,\u201d making them easier to fire. The OPM rule quotes this language directly, even referencing \u201cSchedule F.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

That should tell you something right there. This is a rule that, frankly, should only be handled by Congress, not some jumped up bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

The final rule advances \u201cpolicy goals,\u201d the press release states, by \u201cclarifying that the phrase \u2018confidential, policy determining, policymaking, or policy-advocating\u2019 positions\u2014a term of art to describe positions that lack civil service protections\u2014means noncareer, political appointments. This rule prevents that exception from being misapplied to career civil servants.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cSchedule F,\u201d the OPM press release stated, would have rid employees of their civil service protections which ensure that employment decisions are \u201cbased on merit, not political considerations.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Well, if you want to go with just merit, OK, we can do that. Most of the bureaucrats out there need to be fired for incompetence and refusal to follow instructions from the Administration. If we use your merit system, (Now that is a laugh riot), I would hazard a guess that 80% of the federal work force, and 90% or the federal management needs to be fired.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis rule is about making sure the American public can continue to count on federal workers to apply their skills and expertise in carrying out their jobs, no matter their personal political beliefs,\u201d OPM Deputy Director Rob Shriver told reporters, according to Politico. <\/b><\/p>\n
