No telling how many haven't been caught.
No wonder the VA government employees were having orgies on company time.
WTH kinds of people are being hired in the first place?

"no wonder"? people have sex all the time, including on company time. Please try to pay attention.


North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn claimed that he has been invited to an orgy in Washington and had personally seen leaders in the efforts to curb drug addiction doing cocaine.

WTH kinds of people are being elected in the first place?

It does, and those employees are disciplined, and / or terminated.

So, fire the employees who misuse govt. computers. I have no issue with that.

Agreed.
The problem isn't even the procedural process, its the bureaucracy and public sector union both of which grow and maintain their power the more federal employees are kept on the payroll.

when I was still working I know of one employee who was terminated due to porn on a government computer. the case was turned over to the local DA and the person was found guilty in a trial and sent to jail (child porn).

Federal employees are dismissed or disciplined when breaking the rules/laws.

Yes, 'people have sex all the time, including on company time'. That you believe that this is acceptable behavior is what is puzzling, and says allot more about you than it does me.

It may but you're comparing apples to oranges. The taxpayers are on the hook for the hiring of people who watch porn while on the job.

That and let's get them back in the office.

and many of the employees doing it have been punished or fired.

I have no issue with getting federal workers who job is an office job back in the office. There are many federal jobs that the employees carry out that are field going jobs.

some do by making generic statements about federal employees.
 
I can't speak for all federal employees but the IRS has been an absolute cluster**** since everyone started working remote. A couple of months ago I had an agent I was discussing a certain issue with tell me, literally, "I don't know but if the computer says it's right then it's right". A couple of weeks ago that issue was cleared up by another agent that had actually done a tax return before. These people have no supervision, nobody to turn to and ask a question and no consequences for their lack of knowledge. All of that, ALL of it, is due to being allowed to work from home instead of in an office where people can keep an eye on them.

I'd add 'provide appropriate leadership for'.
 
*rump's America will be a house of cards built on quackery, fakery, and illusion.
 
Well I think Trump is pretty well versed in dealing with the Government and knows how inefficient they are and has GOOD Ideas how to reduce the Red Tape !

I do see that Government is very inefficient and think Trump et al. can make things better for everyone!
At least Trump and Co. are trying to make things better !

What "red tape" do you speak of?
Is it zoning, planning and building code regulations / laws passed by the local/State elected officials
Is it Federal laws such as NEPA past by Congress that a project must comply with
Is it federal laws that Congress past dealing with oil/gas permits or land use permits on federal lands.

The inefficiency that exists is caused by what Congress does or does not do.
Congress writes the laws which Agencies must adhere to
