A Flurry of Snowflakes: EPA Staffers Cry, Need Safe Spaces as They Contemplate a Nation Without the Benefit of Their Wisdom

Triggered.

U.S. EPA employees were in tears. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off. Others might retire early.

And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory.

"People are upset. Some people took the day off because they were depressed," said John O'Grady, president of American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents thousands of EPA employees. After Election Day, "people were crying," added O'Grady, who works in EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago. "They were recommending that people take sick leave and go home."

You may have heard, but "Climate Denier" Myron Ebell is leading the transition team for staffing the EPA, and may dread -- or, in some cases, dearly wish -- that Ebell is made the EPA Administrator.

Shock and awe, baby. Shock and awe.

Progs are making this and that demand that Trump reassure them and in fact commit to advancing their agenda.

But as a lazy, incompetent man once said: "Elections have consequences. And Eric [Cantor], I won."
