Anti American BS
Oh hey, the thing that ensured any sane person would not apply to a federal job! Wow, if he does not cancel the elections we might actually be on the road to having a government again by 2027
In communist Russia, you have to pledge loyalty to Putin’s party in order to get a gov’t job. Trump is exactly the same kind of communist, deadbeat, dictator wannabe.
Guess they realized loyalty doesn’t mean much when you can’t even hire a decent barista.
If Trump had to take a loyalty question, he would fail. He has no loyalty to the American People.
I have a vague memory of a time when we had a government that wasn’t utterly dysfunctional but its getting harder and harder to remember.
Because the loyalty is supposed to he to the constitution. Not a diaper shitting pedophile.
Good News!
A drop of hope in an ocean of shit.
Does it ask if you’re willing to look the other way when the boss diddles kids?
I’m just shocked he didn’t have a “how many children under the age of 10” question on the forms.
Political affiliation is not a protected class.
No shit. It’s grossly illegal. It’s appalling how much of that stuff gets through the cracks with these GOP freaks. And even here, it took years to get a ruling.
“Several essay questions were added to job applications for the civil service as a result, including one that asked: “How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant executive orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.””
The fact it took 2 years for them to implement logical laws shows once again how broken this system is
Oh shit I thought those questions were so fucking weird while applying for a USGS job. Here are the questions for anyone wondering:
1. How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience
2. In this role, how would you use your skills and experience to improve government efficiency and effectiveness? Provide specific examples where you improved processes, reduced costs, or improved outcomes.
3.How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.
4. How has a strong work ethic contributed to your professional, academic or personal achievements? Provide one or two specific examples, and explain how those qualities would enable you to serve effectively in this position.
Ya think?
But sure, he’s totally not an autocrat or authoritarian ruler…
Appel to the Supreme Court in 5..4…3..

It’s funny because these sorts of questions have been in basically every non-government job application for years, and if you muster up a good faith enthusiastic answer they reserve the right to throw your application directly in the trash with no further recourse. Fascist to the bone, this country is
To a civil servant in a properly running government, an individual president or political appointee should just be a blip.
