We have yet another job for the incoming Department of Government Efficiency!
Reports that the State Department spent taxpayer dollars on therapy and "listening sessions" for government workers who were triggered by Donald Trump's big election victory over Kamala Harris caught the attention of Rep. Darrell Issa (DOGE will have something to say about this as well):
American Girl (@Proud1inUSA) ~ Congressman Darrell Issa goes after State Dept. for using taxpayer dollars to provide “therapy” for Federal workers as they are not coping well with the Trump win, Via; FOX . @DOGE - you guys can’t streamline fast enough this is out of control.
How about a different regimen? Instead, they should:
1. Start coming into their offices Monday through Friday for at least 8 hours of work, every day.
2. Actually be diligent at doing whatever their job description entails.
3. On their own personal time, they can start searching for a new job they are qualified for (i.e., digging ditches, cleaning toilets, etc.) in anticipation of receiving their much deserved pink slips in the next few months.
Issa has sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who will no doubt ignore it because these people are out of office in less than 60 days anyway. Kayleigh McEnany discussed it on Fox News yesterday:
Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) ~ 🚨 Why did the State Department hold THERAPY SESSIONS for federal employees after Trump's election victory?
QUESTION: How do they handle foreign adversaries if they can't handle democracy? ⬇️

ANSWER: They don't. They're fragile snowflakes who melt into debased, cowardly appeasement whenever they are confronted by foreign enemies of the United States.
Issa's letter concluded with five questions for Blinken:
1. How many sessions have been conducted and how many more are planned?
2. What materials were used during the session and what was the agenda?
3. How much did these sessions cost the Department?
4. Are these sessions being conducted overseas?
5. Has the Department held similar sessions in the past, and if so, what events prompted them?
Also who was hired to conduct these "sessions"? Call us skeptical, but we have a feeling the group or people are likely to have close ties with certain public officials.
Hmmm ... possibly the "therapists" from the same "facilities" to which Rob Reiner is escaping to for some "peace and relaxation"? Heck, it would be cheaper and probably more relaxing for them to go here ...
Matthew Snyder (@Ribaldo59) ~ What will they do when their jobs go away and they have to pay for therapy to deal with that out of there own pockets? Heck, they might even need therapy to deal with the stress of paying their own bills.
They might have to pay for something out of their own pockets? Perish the thought!
