At least some of these nonpolitical employees have begun packing up their belongings since being asked about their loyalty to Trump
God damn it every fucking time. This is what they fucking want you do to so they can replace you with a fucking Yes Man Toadie!
You’re correct, but the other choice of staying and becoming a career and personal martyr is a tough sell.
Staying through his first term as a martyr made sense, but killing yourself for a country that is hell bent on self destruction ain’t worth it.
Literally everyone is waiting on a revolution to save them while also saying “it’s not my job to stand up and fight for these idiots.”
I’ve given up on waiting for a revolution. It’s not happening. This is what America wants.
A revolution in such a large and diverse country is a difficult thing. They were hard enough to accomplish with smaller groups in the past. There must be unanimity with such actions or they will fail. So how do you unite so many people to move the same direction? The closest we’ve had in a long while is the UHC CEO shooting, and that’s mellowed into memes more than anything. The bread and circus has been optimized for effectiveness.
If you’re a federal employee I’d say you have two options: stay and fight like hell for the integrity of your role and department OR leave immediately without any knowledge transfer at all to maximize chaos.
fight like hell for the integrity of your role and department
Lol…no…that ship sailed. The D’s sold us out and Trump won. I’m not calling out anyone for needing to feed their families and keep roof over their heads. Staying at this point is suicide (maybe literally).
The people they’re discussing are on a detail loan from another agency, so they’re just going back to their original posts with their parent agencies. Whole thing is still shitty and stupid, but there’s been clear messaging that they’re going to rotate all of them regardless, so probably not worth resisting, you just go back to your original job.
This is it. The fascist take over will happen.
Yeah. They’re fascists…
Pretty much from here on out, the news is going to become literally unbearable, every story is going to be about what new low the United States government has sunk to, there will be no bright spots at all, no positives, no wins for decency and the rule of law, only fascist takeover, ineptitude, violence, destruction, desperation, and death. Donald Trump oversaw a purposefully sandbagged Federal Global Pandemic Response that saw the United States post higher per capita COVID infection, hospitalizations, and death for it’s citizens that anywhere else in the world outside China, Russia, and North Korea. The rouges gallery are our contemporaries now once again, and I have no earthly idea when we should expect this to change, as the villains now control the means with which to change American electoral law. MAGA got the levers to the American institutions of Democracy. All of them. They’re gonna use them, and they aren’t going to give them back.
Time for a youtube channel promoting all the things they don’t want to see, you know, since social media is where everyone’s getting their info now.
Anyone who is halfway intelligent would have voted against trump to avoid exactly this situation. It was entirely predictable.
So what Trump is going to do is start removing the halfway intelligent people from Government, making the system worse for everyone (except him).
making the system worse for everyone except him
This was entirely predictable.
Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump’s team, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter.
Trump’s pick for national security adviser, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, in recent days publicly signaled his intention to get rid of all nonpolitical appointees and career intelligence officials serving on the NSC by Inauguration Day to ensure the council is staffed with those who support Trump’s agenda.
So not only are they getting rid of “nonpolitical appointees,” but also “career intelligence officials.” So they are purging all institutional knowledge and standards of conduct. Then those they are inserting/retaining are intentionally “political” appointees, who explicitly are being asked to affirm their loyalty.
They’ll just replace them with Russians with plenty of Intelligence experience.
Need some laws against this shit.
Perhaps you’ve missed the news: laws don’t matter.
Too late. The icebergs been hit. We’re going down.
Better ask Harlan Crow.
Lol
Best we can do is the second amendment. Fix it yourselves, citizens!
I wonder how far they’re going to take this. I wonder if asking about political affiliation will become part of the security clearance process?
I wouldn’t bet against it.
