Trump's Schedule F

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I heard about this last week, but was looking for a more fulsome explanation.  I think the following quote says it all.  
"The directive from the White House, issued late Wednesday, sounds technical: creating a new “Schedule F” within the “excepted service” of the federal government for employees in policymaking roles, and directing agencies to determine who qualifies. Its implications, however, are profound and alarming. It gives those in power the authority to fire more or less at will as many as tens of thousands of workers currently in the competitive civil service, from managers to lawyers to economists to, yes, scientists. "

It's like a last spoilsport measure for Trump to destroy everything before Biden takes office.  My hope is Biden will get into all media saying:  Sit tight.  You're not fired.

	I am currently reading a book called "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump". This is a book where 35 mental health professionals speculate on the mental health of Donald Trump, or lack thereof, and speculate what conditions he may be suffering from. Of course, most of them speculate that Trump suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but one of them argues that he suffers from paranoia, and makes an excellent case. I think this decision of Trump's is in keeping with that diagnosis.

	I have honestly tried to stay away from speculation on Trump's mental health, but I certainly understand those that do. I think what was most telling about Trump was Dr. Trump's book on her history and experiences with her uncle. If he actually enacts Schedule F, it is beyond the pale. That is another threshold of the narcist we have seen. Another step in attempts to completely destroy the US. I can only hope this time it's too little too late.
