Obama has criminally weakened this nation. I’m glad my mom and dad aren’t alive to see what this generation has become.

Good. They need to go and get real jobs instead of killing jobs for so many others.

Should EPA employee tears be classified as a pollutant?

I already felt good about President-elect Trump... Articles like this, just make it all the sweeter. When things like this happen, you know President-elect Trump’s winning was a good thing, a very good thing.

Except all the real jobs in the private sector that they might qualify for are already taken by better people.

The realization of that is why they’re crying and retiring.

Is it illegal to say that if any of them are suicidal that would be willing to loan them a .357?

I heartily suggest that Seppuku as a way out, for ALL at the EPA and the sooner the better!

OTOH, I'd REALLY like to see Sarah Palin head that department....for a bit, before it's closed down forever. ;^)

Someone on the comments section suggested that they take courses in wall construction, and then they might get jobs at the southern border.

I hope most of them depart or can be booted. Well there is the little problem of civil service regs. if they don’t go voluntarily, so let’s hope a lot of them take this time to make other plans.

MarkeyD :" Damn, they might have to get real jobs."

Wasn't it about two and a half years ago that some guy, who worked on the CO2 clean air standards that was missing for 4 1/2 years and claimed he was working for the CIA
and nobody at EPA challenged it ?
And after shown that he had lied , EPA refused to produce his analysis/ standards to show what the factors were for the EPA about pollution ?
And then the guy retired after taking another 4 months sick leave ?
And the EPA still hasn't released his analysis despite his admitted fraud ( CIA, indeed !) ?
