Q-truth Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Link: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/01/trumps_shutdown_trap.html Quote Has President Trump suckered Democrats and the Deep State into a trap that will enable a radical downsizing of the federal bureaucracy? In only five more days of the already "longest government shutdown in history" (25 days and counting, as of today), a heretofore obscure threshold will be reached, enabling permanent layoffs of bureaucrats furloughed 30 days or more. Don't believe me that federal bureaucrats can be laid off? Well, in bureaucratese, a layoff is called a RIF – a Reduction in Force – and of course, it comes with a slew of civil service protections. But, if the guidelines are followed, bureaucrats can be laid off – as in no more job. It is all explained by Michael Roberts here (updated after the beginning of the partial shutdown): Also: Quote When agencies furlough employees for more than 30 calendar days or 22 discontinuous work days, they must use RIF procedures. An employee can be terminated or moved into an available position[.] *Note: this article covers the OP article above but adds clarity on certain procedures of how a RIF (Lay-off) legally works! Quote Most of my career colleagues actively work against the president's agenda. This means I typically spend about 15 percent of my time on the president's agenda and 85 percent of my time trying to stop sabotage, and we have no power to get rid of them. Until the shutdown. (Emphasis mine) Quote Due to the lack of funding, many federal agencies are now operating more effectively from the top down on a fraction of their workforce, with only select essential personnel serving national security tasks. ... President Trump can end this abuse. Senior officials can reprioritize during an extended shutdown, focus on valuable results and weed out the saboteurs. We do not want most employees to return, because we are working better without them. This is where it gets REAL good... Quote Keep in mind that saboteurs cannot be individually identified and RIFed, but they can be included in the layoffs if they meet the criteria above in terms of seniority and service, and they must be given 60 days' notice. But once they are gone, they are no longer free to obstruct using the "process" as their friend, because they are gone. (Emphasis mine) So in conclusion: So POTUS is playing master level chess by allowing the shutdown to continue. I don't think the Democrats know what's going on and are looking west when, they SHOULD be looking East so to speak. But it is too late. NOW POTUS can reassemble the government as it should be, how the founders meant it to be. Then there's a part of the Declaration of Independence says: (I bolded the part relevant to the OP) Quote The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. So, This is why, our declaration of Independence, along with applicable laws CAN and APPEAR to be in play here. Time will tell. waysidesc 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1379038-the-agenda-behind-the-government-shutdown/#findComment-598411328 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Quite honestly, why do you feel it's relevant to post such utter garbage here. In uncertain times, you are NOT helping and really just acting like a huge prat online, spreading disinformation and nonsense. You really should be ashamed of yourself. waysidesc 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1379038-the-agenda-behind-the-government-shutdown/#findComment-598534602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain, but I think he may have been moved on elsewhere. waysidesc, dipsylalapo, Dick Montage and 2 others 3 1 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1379038-the-agenda-behind-the-government-shutdown/#findComment-598534610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
