Last entry 20 days ago as apathy sets in, or could it be optimism that it may finally be over in just under 3 months.

Okay then.
Jan 21: Joe rehires any fired non-Trumpettes.
Jan 22: Joe fires any Trumpettes he chooses.
Jan 23: Joe restores broad civil service protections with an EO.

How about an EO to cancel all trump EOs

[O Really]

How about an EO to cancel all trump EOs

I thought about that too, but without some individual review, there could be some unexpected consequences that might not be good. But there is a list of all of them in the Federal Register here... https://www.federalregister.gov/preside ... ive-orders and I'm pretty sure Biden has at least a platoon out of his army of lawyers that are keeping up with them. I'm all for some sweeping clean-up, though, particularly on those that scrapped previously effective rules or processes. I think for a lot of them, if Trump's EO is repealed, then the former rules would go back into effect. Not all of them would work that way though. I thought I'd volunteer to be on the review team.

Why doesn't he fire all the scientists with an EO?

Yeah, I read about that this morning. And just imagine what kind of king hell fascist bullshit he'll do once he loses. He'll still have more than sixty days to stomp, whine, lie, and sabotage whatever he can reach. I can hardly wait. Lucky for me I'm set to obtain some of the finest medicine known tomorrow morning. I have a chronic pre existing condition, but I like it. And I've got it covered.

From your lips . . .

N.Y. attorney general developing 'long' list of Trump actions for Biden to undo

[billy.pilgrim]

Wow, another fired for asking relevant question and replaced with a libbertarian

Sharpiegate continues

"The New York Times reported this week that NOAA’s acting chief scientist, Craig McLean, who called out political interference during the ordeal, was removed from his post this month when he asked a new political appointee to acknowledge the agency’s scientific integrity guidelines. The guidelines prohibit manipulating scientific research for political ends.

The appointee, Erik Noble, a former White House adviser, was not pleased, according to the Times:"

Without my taking sides in this instance:

Head of nuclear weapons agency unexpectedly resigns

Chaos.

Trump administration fires three agency heads in wake of US election

The Trump administration has fired the heads of three federal agencies, in the wake of the 2020 US election.

The administration fired Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Bonnie Glick, deputy administrator of the US Agency for International Development, and Neil Chatterjee, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)....

2 women and an Asian-American man, figures.
Cowardly to wait until after the election. Give voters an opportunity to weigh in one way or the other.
Tantrum.

Mark Esper is out as defense secretary, months after defying Trump
The Pentagon boss’s ouster was a long time coming.

He's going total asshole to the bitter end.

Nice way to treat people. Why anyone is loyal to him is beyond my understanding.

A conspiracy theorist might speculate that firing Esper and installing a PINO sycophant into DoD is a prelude to refusing to leave office.

Trump removes head of climate science report

... Context: Kuperberg’s reassignment is the latest in a string of high-level personnel moves to remove officials deemed insufficiently loyal to President Donald Trump after his reelection loss. Earlier on Monday, Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. On Friday, Neil Chatterjee was removed as FERC chair on Friday after advocating for opening up markets to renewable sources and exploring carbon pricing....

Bloodbath.

More to come.

[GoCubsGo]

Yep.
