Bigger than Vindman: Trump scrubs 70 Obama holdovers from NSC And: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/it-begins-trump-admin-cuts-70-obama-era-holdovers-from-nsc/ President Trump is making good on his promises to "drain the swamp" and cut Obama-era holdovers from his staffs, especially the critical and recently controversial National Security Council. Officials confirmed that Trump and national security adviser Robert O'Brien have cut 70 positions inherited from former President Barack Obama, who had fattened the staff to 200. Many were loaners from other agencies and have been sent back. Others left government work. |

Unfortunately it said many were on loan and sent back, so we didn't really reduce the number of .gov employees that drastically.

"Firing government people" is probably more popular now than it has ever been, even in 2016. And now he has a good opportunity to do lots of it right before the election.
So that worked out for him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It makes sense in a way, I guess, but it is frustrating. Between the bureaucrats & his own party allied against him, it was hard to straight up fire people over policy (which is well within his authority, and is what this really is) without exposing himself to liability for "rocking the boat." See: GWB and firing Gonzalez. See: Trump firing McCabe/Comey. I believe it's why so many holdovers were simply reassigned or new redundant offices created & staffed by newcomers. Now that Trump has allowed the DNC/Deep State to muster the biggest wave it could to crash against his administration, and seen it fail utterly...suddenly no one in the RNC will object to his going medieval on these guys, and no one in the DNC/Deep State expects anything different than determined destruction of their political networks. In short, they came at the king, and failed to kill him. The king had to let the opposition try their best before he could get consent from the skeptical court to have them torn apart. I hope Trump took some pointers from Kim Jong Un during their visits. That man may be an inhuman monster, but he certainly knows how to win high stakes power plays by massive conspiracies. Schiff is clearly an important nodal figure in this, so I hope Trump has a plan to have him politically, judicially, or physically neutralized. I think without Schiff acting as the conspiracy manager, the bureaucrat spies would have a much harder time coordinating their 'dirt' with the right Congressional members, and whipping up these sorts of claims without exposing themselves. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
DonS already gave some good reasons. You all have to understand that political appointments serve at the will of the executive/President. However, civil servants are often covered by union and other civil service protections. They are "for cause" employees that cannot be fired or transferred unless there is a good reason, and only after progressive discipline. The swamp is deep and Trump needed time to assess who needed to be fired, and who could be fired or transferred legally. Also, this is basically a RIF at the NSC. The people who are in excess of need can now scramble to find another GS job. |

I hate the boomer term, but it's shit like this (and other things) that makes it obvious that Trump is way late to his own Party. Dude, the bomb should have dropped on every communist on day 1, not 3 years later and counting. Clear. House. Already! And it's only after Richmond that it seems to even dawn on him that the 2nd Amendment is PRIORITY #1 on a majority of his constituent's radar. (And before the Sorry you're girl lost nonsense, this man is still the best president in my lifetime.)

3 years too late. You can't fire someone for being a US Citizen. The "deep state" is us - the "us" who walk, talk, and look like you and me. Nope, you let them run their mouth and then hang themselves when its obvious they are committing offenses contrary to the rules. Document it and show them the door. In the process they have already shown their ass and they deserve it. Everybody acts like the deep state is enormously powerful and can't be defeated, yet - when has Trump lost? Not. Not even. Time after time they try to pull something and yet every time it only backfires and it only leads to another major loss on their part. Never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake. And we have seen them for what they are, instead of some people in DC who were abused by Orangemanbad. Everyone of them is now a known entity for having done something that was contrary to the President's policy or which opposed him. And they did it themselves. This is not traditional linear warfare. Don't apply frontline battlefield tactics from WWI to a war conducted asymmetrically here in our own country. Think Democrats = VC. You don't My Lai every agency just to cleanse government. |
