Quote:Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

The Don will make them an offer they can't refuse.

Does this happen with every new administration or just this one?

Just this one. The staffers usually worked under both Democrats and Republican Presidents. Some have been there since Nixon.

I'd be curious to see a list of exactly who has been let go, exactly how long they've been there, what their title/responsibilities have been, etc.

GET EM THE HELL OUT!

And to the ones that are illegal, "para afuera, babosos".


Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Drip, drip, drip...

Getting rid of the shadow govt

Quote:For years this group has considered themselves “the untouchables”.

They live a life of high financed indulgence including: massive expense accounts, chartered airline travel, swanky cocktail parties, expense chauffeurs to take their kids to private school, seasonally designed home decor – appointed by only the very best interior designers, personal security to keep the commoners away, tickets to the best venues and reserved seating at elite DC restaurants.

With first rights to the budget expenditures, the 7th floor group finds no indulgence too extravagant for their intellectual elitism. They demand nothing but the finest because they are the most worthy of the DC professionally privileged – who are more equal than others; and after all, their jobs require them to host and visit like-minded diplomats, and celebrities with exclusive tastes from around the world.

Keep draining the swamp!!!

EPA may be getting something similar. NY Post suggests reviewing Civil Service laws. Personally, that seems a step too far, but if they are lobbying against their boss, that s/b something that loses your civil service protection.

Who rules the US?

"...Is it? By any historical and constitutional standard, "the people" elected Donald Trump and endorsed his program of nation-state populist reform. Yet over the last few weeks America has been in the throes of an unprecedented revolt. Not of the people against the government—that happened last year—but of the government against the people. What this says about the state of American democracy, and what it portends for the future, is incredibly disturbing...."

I said as much to a liberal on another forum. He was whining about "creeping fascism", aka Trump policies in his world, and how America was facing a crisis. I asked what he thought about government employees trying to sabatoge Trump's policies and what that would mean for America's future since virtually every election brings us a president half the country despises.

He's failed to answer.

Bye bye uniparty. In all those years it took them to get to the 7th floor, they should have learned when to shut their pieholes and take their disagreements directly to the boss like a man instead of leaking fake news to the media.

Passive aggressive instead of mature assertive. Definitely the government matches Obama's personality.

After the BS the last 4 years related to ignoring court orders and looking the other way regarding Clinton's emails, the entire legal counsel department should be let go. It picked a home team.
