Energy Department says it's none of Trump's business

Uh Oh, heads are going to roll when Da Donald is swore in.
The U.S. Energy Department said on Tuesday it will not comply with a request from President-elect Donald Trump's Energy Department transition team for the names of people and the professional society memberships of lab workers.
The response from the Energy Department could signal a rocky transition for the president-elect's energy team and potential friction between the new leadership and the staffers who remain in place.
Energy Department spokesman Eben Burnham-Snyder said Tuesday the department will not comply.
"Our career workforce, including our contractors and employees at our labs, comprise the backbone of (the Energy Department) and the important work our department does to benefit the American people," Burnham-Snyder said.
"We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independence of our employees at our labs and across our department," he added. "We will be forthcoming with all publicly available information with the transition team. We will not be providing information concerning our employees to the transition team."
The head of Trump's transition team said "it is not within the authority of the Energy Department to withhold the requested names, education, degrees or publications written by employees. We will be vetting the employees from mid-management up. Lack of compliance with these President Elect requests will result in actions up to and including firings."
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Da Donald won't hesitate to fire their asses? A new sheriff is in town.

Merely firing them would send the wrong message.

What's far more poetic is Donnie's apparent choice to head Energy: Rick Perry. The guy who famously wanted to get rid of the Energy Department when he ran for POTUS in the 2012 cycle. "Oops." lol
Team Trump isn't even in office and they're already providing non-stop and highly entertaining idiocy. :lol:

If you've been paying attention Da Donald has selected someone "in every case" that has radically different views of how the departments they'll be running, should be run. Da Donald isn't going for a touch up, or even a remodel of Obama's government, he's going to do a tear down and make those departments great again. The Obama agenda minions and czars in those departments are shitting bricks.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find , you get what you need. There is no doubt it's time to stop giving our government what they want but instead give them what they need!

How can I not pay atención to Donnie's picks, Carlos? It's a slow-moving train wreck of unintentionally hilarious moronity.
If Perry is selected and confirmed as head, all energy policy under him will be classified as "Oops". :lol:

Some say johnforbes will end at an interstate rest stop in a mass of gamboling flames.
He's bound to give his 'come hither' look to the wrong burly trucker eventually.

You'll have to wait while Forbes locates what he believes to be an appropriate statement from himself that he can C&P.
In the meantime, please enjoy this complimentary recording of the Final Jeopardy! theme.

The assertion that they are doing important work for the whole country, but must keep employee info secret, is ludicrous.

Perry forgot that he wanted to shut down the energy dept. I wonder if he can manage to remember to show up on the first day of work and to fire himself!
LMAO

I don't know the great poet who first said this, but it bears repeating:
Some say the world will end in ice,
Some say in fire.
From what I've heard of johnforbes, let it suffice,
He'll hold with those who favor flaming attire.
O-M-G! He looks FABulous! That hair is FIERCE, girl! Not today, Satan!

My little horse must think Clown queer, to stop without a farmhouse near, between the woods and frozen lake on the darkest evening of the year.

You're not paying attention. He was selected by Da Donald for that very reason. Our Government is about to undergo a much needed tear down and rebuild. Exactly what Da Donald is best at.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less gay than the one traveled by johnforbes,
And that has made all the difference.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of Clown's gay.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And scum like forbes just make me weep,
There's but contempt for such a creep.
