Obama didn’t hire enough Hispanics, therefore Trump is racist.

I’m sure that Andrea Mitchell, Dan Rather, and Chuck Todd will consider this a damning accusation.

as many as a third of federal workers to say they might walk off the job if he was elected.

If they would, that'd solve the problem without Trump having to fire anyone.

The pledge led as many as a third of federal workers to say they might walk off the job if he was elected. So would he really do it?

DJT did his part ... workers, your turn. Seeeeee ya.

Outsourcing jobs to the private sector to get around the freeze will not be permitted, Trump wrote.

Awesome.

Why isn’t anyone screaming about the lack of diversity in Latin American or African countries?
Why is it only majority Caucasian countries that are putting up with this crap?

I already know the answer but wanted to put this out there.

Political correctness dies hard, not without a lot of screeching and flailing.

It looks like the affirmative action program worked this year. Of course every Person of Color who wins will have a mental asterisk as with most beneficiaries of AA programs.

Government should not reduce workforce merely through attrition. All managers should be required to review and recommend for termination, all marginally performing employees

Government should not be in the business of hiring on the basis of ethnicity, nor should it be counting heads. Wasn’t it “content of character” Their Hero said should only matter?

In principle I agree with reducing the number of Federal employees; it’s been a long time coming.
On the other hand, as an IT contractor who has relied on contracts for work on Gov’t projects I am now faced with an even tighter job market for my skills.
Looks like it’s time to learn a few more!

Well, we had the very hostile confrontation between Trump and a CNN reporter named Jim Acosta, a Cuban American just the other day wherein Trump refused to give him a question and called his organization “fake news”. That’s one right there.

Easy peazy. All Pres. Trump needs to do is wait for a good snowfall in D. C. The “essential personnel,” who are necessary for the government to function, stay on the payroll. Everyone who can stay home, can be laid off.

Personally, I’ve had quite enough of this ‘diversity’ buzzword and what it denotes, thank you.

Ironically enough, Trump will see to it that Federal diversity (as defined to mean “less white”) actually increases. How? Because the more senior employees tend to include more white people, because they were hired many years ago, when diversity was less of a fetish than it is now. As the older, more white workers retire and are not replaced, boom, what’s left is a more diverse workforce.

Think Trump will get any credit for this?
