Donald Trump is looking into moving the Environmental Protection Agency out of D.C. It might be worth the cost and effort. They’ve become part of the deep state The Washington Post says does not exist.
The Washington Post reports that employees will push Biden policies despite Donald Trump serving as President. That is the very definition of the Deep State.
WaPo writes:
Trump, in his formal campaign platform, called to redistribute workers out of the Washington area and implement large-scale cuts to the federal government, which he has long derided as harboring members of the “deep state.”
…
But if Trump were to impose the cuts and geographic relocations he has promised, federal workers and others said, that could upend the economic and social fabric that has long shaped the D.C. region.
That would be the goal. He wants to clean up the swamp.
One deep state bureaucrat said:
The woman, 37, said she and her family co-workers are focused on how to make sure the new administration does not walk back environmental regulations achieved under Biden — an effort that she expects will face pushback from a president-elect who has said he would end “frivolous litigation from the environmental extremists.”
The employees think Project 2025 is Trump’s, and they are preparing for that, which is a waste of their time.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut departments and allow government to fire employees. You couldn’t fire a single government employee. Donald Trump changed that while in office, Biden reversed it, and Trump will bring it back.
The union plans to fight any such effort:
Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union representing federal employees, with 800,000 members, on Wednesday sounded a defiant tone, vowing to “not stand by and let any political leader — regardless of their political affiliation — run roughshod over the Constitution and our laws.”
The policy known as “Schedule F,” which would strip job protections from many career federal employees in policy roles, is one of several plans by Trump or his Republican allies in Congress to target the workforce — from weakening union protections to requiring that employees return to the offices they largely vacated during the coronavirus pandemic.
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) wants the at-home employees to return to work. She’s looking at them to fight Trump.
WaPo:
Doreen Greenwald, a former revenue officer at the Internal Revenue Service who is now president of the National Treasury Employees Union, on Wednesday denied claims by Trump and his allies that career employees have thwarted any presidential agenda, because their job is to help carry out the policies of the party in power.
“The deep state has never existed,” said Greenwald, whose union represents about 150,000 civil servants across about 35 agencies, including the IRS. “Federal employees want to be respected for the work they do, and they are focused on what they were hired to do to accomplish a mission. They embrace any new administration.”
Oh, the Derp State exists, as made obvious by the comments about the EPA. It’s also known as the swamp. The worst thing the US did was allow government workers to unionize. They won’t let you fire anyone, and they’ve controlled the elected representatives hostage. Deep Staters are the unelected bureaucrats who are out of control.
“The Washington Post reports that employees will push Biden policies despite Donald Trump serving as President. That is the very definition of the Deep State.”
Employees of all letter agencies either slow walked President Trump’s policies or outright refused to implement them. I remember after President Trump left office in 2021 the audio of a “Zoom” conference call among top agency managers bragging how they did just that and essentially they were in charge.
Shut down the EPA and have the former employees pick up the trash on all the countries roads.
Shut down the BATF and draft them into the military so that they can clean rifles and pistols. The rest can get a job at bottling plants where they Make Bud Lite. Shut down the FBI and give the former agents jobs directing traffic in Washington DC so that the city can save money on traffic lights.
Shut down the TSA and give the fired employees jobs sweeping and mopping the airport floors.
Of course all these people will get paid minimum wage.
if you can’t abolish the epa then defund it for four years. that goes for every other dept. that is not in the constitution.
When your home refrigerator and air conditioner explodes you can thank the nuts at the EPA. Safety has no place in their agenda.
Fire them all first. Problem solved.
The TSA is solely responsible for screening passengers and checked and carry-on baggage at 450+ U.S. airports.
From the beginning, this responsibility should have been turned over to the US Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is currently maritime, it’s military and it’s a multi-mission service. It already operates under the Department of Homeland Security.
Coast Guard maritime law enforcement mission can be expanded to aviation. Its procedure & process oriented as well as military, therefore, lapses of judgment, decorum or ability by a Coast Guard screener can be reviewed & dealt with immediately. No union related encumbrances.
President Trump will re-issue the XO that allows the termination of federal employees who don’t measure up. He had that in his first administration but Xiden rescinded it. Those EPA weenies pushing their OWN agendas are going to have to shape up or ship out. YAY!
Why don’t Congress do their job and codify into law that govenrment employees can be fired?
I know the answer: It would mean they would actually have to work for something other than their benefit.
Thanks …. You do all the upvotes and I just Tag Along! I WIN. Why do you all try so hard when your best efforts are in vain? Trump Joined the Swamp ( Republican Party) and you
re all going to get a Beating! Trump will Just Blame Democrats and BIDEN/ Obama. Nothing has Chaged. Hell export a few token criminals; but will refrain from any real exports of Illegals; because this will Anger all the Swamp Creatures Making Bank on Slave Labor. Corporate Plantation Owners Pay your Government to Allow this and it is Facilitated, by YOU, the Taxpayers! Then … You Subsidize the Plantation! JESUS CHRIST …. AMERICA … YOU ARE THE SWAMP!I try to help you; because I have a soft spot for the WEAK/HELPLESS, but you all just keep insulting me and calling me ugly names! How Tragic.
Please move the EPA headquarters to a large windowless solar-powered barn on the outskirts of Branson Missouri…
Slash by a minimum of 80% and put into law that they cannot increase in size….Would rather have it totally dismantled, but I’m willing to let them keep 20%..
Eliminate the EPA entirely. Every state in the union already has their own EPA. DCs isn’t needed anymore.
Reminds me of the covid work at home lefties who refused to come back to the office. Guess what EPA? They were fired just like you’ll be.
It is not the Employees, geniuses, it is the elected officials who make the Rules. Employees are Slaves who Serve. You have to change the Rules/Laws. Employees can only enforce the Law, so who makes the Law? Not Employees.
Low level employees just do what they are told yes, but those with any power such as managers, directors or whatever their title is have the power to tell employees to NOT do what President Trump wants them to do.
And we have a very good example of that with that female supervisor at FEMA who told employees to not help people that were Trump supporters.
and there are tens of thousands of such people who have just enough power to sabotage everything Trump will try to accomplish.
President Trump will have to get them demoted , transfered to a department where they cannot do as much harm or have them fired.
Midlevel “Compliance Administrators” make sure of Compliance. Employees ( Slaves) need supervision or they`ll Rebel.
Govt. employees are hired to work at the pleasure of the taxpayers who also expect our representatives to downsize the bloated federal govt – in some cases, dissolving whole bureaucracies. Additionally, govt employees should not be allowed to unionize.
Employees have no Power. Employees Obey Orders! You have Administrators responsible for compliance. So, while all of you “toothless hillbillies” do not comprehend the power structure, and are stuck on Stupid, it does you no good to blame Slaves.
Naturally, you`re all slaves and rather self-loathing slaves at best. Nevertheless, why do you serve something that is so obviously trying to destroy YOU? Like Trump is going to Drain the Swamp? They would never let him RUN if He were not a Swamp Creature! Why are you all so lacking in grey matter?
