Reporter's notebook: Are Trump's sweeping firings an abuse of power?

The government must follow certain rules. Not lying is one of them. Two federal judges sent that message to the Trump administration this week when they ordered it to rehire employees fired for what the administration said was poor performance. John Dickerson has more.

Any employee will cry foul then claim their job is a key job. No job should ever be considered permanent
The Angry workers of the world unite jealous people. there motto bash anyone more successful than us

Thomas Paine - I draw my idea of the form of government from a principle in nature which no art can overturn. that the more simple any thing is, the less liable it is to be disordered, and the easier repaired when disordered

Those who attempt to bash or dismiss Paine and the time frame he lived in, are only attempting to separate you from your history.

about this bash video as seen by JG
“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident, they are acting on their own free will.”
“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”
“The secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are be immersed in it.”
“Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.”
“We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection.”
