To the salt mines ! Worthless.

i would transition all of these burrowers into permanent assignment in antartica, with mandatory air conditioning set to below freezing.

Burrowing in. Like a Tick.

Appropriate.

But then again I’m not part of the ‘Empire’, so I don’t know how it works for Federal jobs.

Yes you do.

0bama appointees, and all federal employees who voted for 0bama twice, must vacate their positions as of 20 Jan. 2017.

Buddy of mine took a job in management at a Local Gov't agency bureaucracy. Got saddled with a real loser in his dept.

Buddy tried everything to get this guy's performance up, no dice. So, he went to *his* boss, looking to fire the guy. His boss's advice?

"It will be faster for you to go down to the deadbeat's cube, shoot him, do the time, and come back, than it will be to complete the firing process."

So, what did my buddy do? Foisted the deadbeat off on the next sucker manager that came in, just like had been done to him.

This is not new - been going on for years - affirmative action appointees came on board decades ago, got into civil service protected positions and waited to advance up the line as their seniors retired and they put in their time - we’ve got upper managers all over the government who have authority and power based primarily on who they knew and what the flavor of the year was - good luck to us.....

Yeah, I don’t think Trump would be slowed down very much at all.
The job might be guaranteed by the unions, but Trump will shift responsibility in a heart beat if they aren’t doing the job to his satisfaction.

Find them. Isolate them. Get rid of them any way you can. This is typical of political hacks appointed. They try to get into the public “service” roles. Bums and traitors.

[karnage]

Root them out, smoke them out, drive them out.

I have a friend who is a federal worker, he's in the same boat...Has a terrible employee who causes all kinds of problems who literally cannot be gotten rid of. They can't even officially reprimand the guy without mounds of paperwork.

My buddy, who is ex-military, just can't get over how different it is from the military in that slugs, leeches, and troublemakers can't be gotten rid of unless they literally do physical violence to someone.

[generally]

Amen to that.

And fire all the leftist appointed judges.

A thorough housecleaning needs to happen. No “Mr. Nice Guy” like Bush.

[Secret Agent Man]

see, we would not have a glimmer of a chance this happens, if we had a uniparty bush, mcamnesty, grahamnesty, or romney running.

with a non career politician, non lawyer pro business guy, we have a chance some of this actually happens.

[hal ogen]

Typical unpatriotic government “worker”. These degenerate drones should be fired. How pathetic. What an absence of honesty and integrity.

Reagan replaced more than a few career desk jockeys with military people. It not only gave a job to someone more loyal and deserving, but kept them readily available in case they were needed in another role.

Burrowing in. Like a Tick.
