[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm, what's wrong with any of this?[/quote]

Asking how you are going to advance the “Presidents Agenda” and being asked to cite EOs (many of which are being ruled illegal) is wrong for civil servants, who are by definition non-political and may serve under 3+ presidents. The correct question is how you can further your agencies mission.

The litmus test for “patriotic Americans” is BS, because it’s code for MAGA. All federal employees are American citizens with some form of background check. If they are actually anti-American, have anti-American views, social media, actions, etc, they won’t pass. This question is unnecessary. Because of you aren’t engaging in or formenting insurrection, there are many different ways to interpret patriotism (except 1/6 folks who beat police are patriotic Americans in the Administration— you see the issue?).

I’ve been a fed for 18 years.  I’ve never met an “unamerican” fed— just feds who differ from me on abortion or gun ownership or what programs we should spend money on. But even for these, I only know this if we anre friends outside the office. The Hatch Act deals well with keeping political opinions out of the workplace. Also, almost all feds I know are very mission driven, whatever their political party. This is a solution desperately seeking a problem.  [/quote]
