Imagine working your entire young & aspirational life to finally become a Park Ranger for the US Department of the Interior only to be dismissed by a mad king & his foreign enabler who’ve never really labored, nor spent any meaningful time in our National Parks.

As I understand it, highly sensitive databases of federal contracts and the federal workforce have been handed to a private contractor run by a guy who over stayed his visa while publicly funded and supported data and databases continue to disappear. What the actual f***. FAFO is so not an answer.

If the travesty of unqualified and loyalist cabinet nominees reflect the venerated result of a ‘merit-based system’ I want none of it. Clearly it does not reward or recognize competence or qualification.

So, I heard the White House has announced school kids only need to give Valentines to their white classmates this year, not the whole class. But everyone has to bring Valentines. Sound about right?

So, a federal employee arrives to assess a disaster. Their immediate concern should be: A) loyalty to a narcissist. B) concern for those dead or injured. What would Trump do? How about your Jesus? Asking for a friend.
