With Joe Biden so confident of re-election, they sure are issuing rules that would hamstring a President Donald Trump from doing his job. They're panicking, and the desperation is palpable.
Afraid that Trump would clean house, the Biden administration issued a new rule to protect federal workers from being fired.

The new rule would make it harder for Trump — or any other president — to reshape the federal workforce via mass firings.https://t.co/VdEbNbbGvd
We are constantly told that there is no "deep state." Then Donald Trump threatens to re-establish unitary control of the executive branch, as per the Constitution -- and Joe Biden's response is to protect the deep state. So yeah, there's a deep state. https://t.co/qgvdvKvHaL

Politico reports in a piece called "Biden moves to defang political assaults on federal workforce":
The Biden administration put the finishing touches Thursday on a plan to restrict presidents from unilaterally nixing civil service protections from large swaths of the federal workforce, as former President Donald Trump renews his vow to uproot a perceived “deep state” if he is returned to the White House.
While a future president could take steps to squelch the new directive, it reflects a larger effort by the Biden administration to put a protective wall around its policies.
…
The change is widely viewed as a pointed response to a fall 2020 executive order from Trump that created a new designation — known as Schedule F — for employees in policymaking roles that effectively made those workers easier to hire, fire or otherwise shuffle around.
So Biden is undoing another of Trump's executive orders.
So get a job with the federal govt, be horrible at that job, keep getting paid by us tax payers but you’ll never get fired. Gee…. What a great idea from Biden 🙄

Wow, the Deep State Protection Act. Nice work.

But if a president "issues a new rule" can't another president issue something to cancel it out?
And why/how are presidents making so much policy without congressional involvement?
The federal agencies that were established to protect and serve the American people are now being used by the Executive branch to subjugate the American people. We are slowly drifting into communism. This has to stop.

Seems like he’s already planning for a T win. Although T will just reverse it.

Oh, they’ll be fired en masse, and it won’t be on a whim.

Sounds like Biden thinks he might lose.

As a federal worker ever been “whimsically” fired? Asking for a federal employee friend.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

President Trump promised to drain the swamp but didn't follow through. The swamp is now protected by Biden's new "rule."
Argentinian President Javier Milei just fired 24,000 government workers. And no one will know they're gone.
