All those below his stooge appointments that is.
If every anti-drumph employee simply ignored his orders his power would vanish.
Just go ultra slow or totally ignore him whenever possible.
There are enough of us to make it work.
What could they do? Fire so many?
Who would be available to do that?

It's easy to get carried away here, but the fact is that many, many millions of Americans voted for Trump and fully support him as president.

Corruption isn't the crumbling around individuals we once imagined, but instillation of corruption into the functioning of our systems. Russia's been exporting lessons for decades to take down nations, and today's Republicans have been good pupils.

(767 posts)Not following orders or slowing down will result in the GOP winning. They will blame the lose of workers for an emergency. They may require people signing documents in the future giving up their constitutional rights. I had a super secret clearance and to a degree I gave up some of my rights to question what I did did or others did on the job. The GOP plays the game and the game is RIGGED for them to screw the USA for anything mother Russia wants them to do......
