If you ever had to fire someone

[Eppy99]

Can federal employees be hired based on their political affiliation or on the flip side be fired for the same reason? Is it even allowed to ask a prospect the question?

Hatch act.

Joy Reid just got fired. Feels amazing.

Does she know how to code?

They are operating under a CR now. There is nothing in an appropriation bill regarding number of personnel. They could keep a hiring freeze on as long as they want, firing all probationary, etc...

They are going impoundment, anyway, unless stopped by the courts.

I’m guessing they lose on impoundment past the 90 days without congressional action.

Just means you have no conviction on this subject. Emotions. Where have all the men gone? Certainly aren’t many (if any) in the Democrat party. Big reason you guys lost.

It's funny how you keep asking where all the men are. Just what is your definition? Sounds like someone playing by themselves in a corner saying (I'll persevere). I am man enough to say I'm sorry for hurting your feelings with conviction. Before you come back with your lib label, all emotions aside. I'm a Reaganite. A real republican man.

Welcome to the real world it happens every single day in the real world. Yet not a peep from you guys. I have been laid off several times in my life you bounce back and move on or sit is misery. Veterans get laid off all the time.

Did the person(s) who laid you off taunt you with a chainsaw?

More likely a fry basket.

More likely a fry basket.

Or a gift card to Ryan’s Steakhouse.

You must be a consistently poor performer. I’ve never minded firing them.

To prove your point, Paul Dans the Heritage Institute director of the 2025 Plan stated on C-Span that 95% of the federal employees are Democrats.

In trying to find a source for the Dans remark I found surveys having been taken showing the Dems may have a slight majority but nowhere near 95%.

So federal employees leaning towards the GOP are undountedy on the chopping block.

I believe the correlative was voter registration and historical data of political donations among federal workers. 90%.

Mass, love to see a link supporting the donations and registration data you cited.

Say this because tying political donor information and voter registration data to job occupations seems difficult.

In contrast have seen members of the media in responding to surveys of the media members only which require identifying a party preference showing a preference for the Dems.

The voter registration data was from DC and northern Virginia. In those locales, most people work for the Fed, lobby the Fed, or sell something to the Fed. Their donations are uniformly Democrat.
