Would you work tirelessly and with little personal benefit to help promote and spread fascism in America under a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and traitor to our nation?

Id love to believe this is to weed out the bad applicants.
People that answer "lol, I just want a job" actually get the interviews
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.
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.
You can either have a commitment to the Constitution, or to the president's unconstitutional EOs. Not both.
That's how they filter out applicants
That's why it's called doublethink.
Woah there, stop using your brain
Christ on a cracker. Answering these questions must feel like cosplaying in a Civil War re-enactment, as a Confederate.
How are you supposed to support the Constitution and the President’s executive orders at the same time?
That's exactly how they only get sycophants.
Who the fuck is gonna write four bullshit mini-essays just for a shot at job that pays well below market rate?
Federal Jobs are (previously) stable and offer good benefits. Pay is lower but you get guaranteed days off and clear expectations for work.
I think that's the point. They want people to be let go and not be replaced. If they can get some loyalists in the role instead, even better.
Who writes anything these days. Its all AI bro.
you actually have to check a statement that you did not use ai in the process.
Thatll surely trip them up. /s
its kinda funny given how its integrated into so many search engines now.
I am but honestly its kinda for spite and once you have a response you don't really need to adjust it for each job. My constitution one focuses on the importance of the bill of rights especially the first half dozen.
What if I choose another president's EO's and policy initiatives? The question doesn't restrict itself to only 45/47.
yes I noticed this as well although he has some that are pretty general. Like the ai and cybersecurity initiative which you could see other presidents having signed.
Number 1 is a little weird as most people wouldn't be able to name many founding principles of the united states. It's something that's still debated. Hell, the founders weren't even in agreement on them.
Number 2 is worded strangely, but isn't too bad. It's like asking how you made concrete improvements at your last employer and how you can utilize that with the new one.
Number 4 isn't bad. It could be from any application at any company.
Number 3 is freaking bonkers. Think about applying for a job as a park photographer at Disney and being asked how you'll help fulfill the CEO's direction to make another Star Wars sequel. After being asked to name the priorities to begin with.
Huh, so he’s attempting to create a caste of conspicuously president-aligned workers. That seems like an interesting and not-at-all dangerous idea
Attempting? Where TF have you been all year?
I have received many rejections.
You must be one of those scary members of the group known as Antifa!
Whether good, evil or neutral, lawful people fuck with my head. They have no concept that someone would simply lie. They have no concept that anyone would consider cheating the system. Hell, I was on autopilot, starting to fabricate answers and think how I could bullshit my way through, and I have no intention of applying.
I want to grab these geniuses and ask what difference they think this will make. Said that sort of thing to management many times in my IT career. "Users are just going to circumvent that policy." "You think?" "I know." (Because I would.)
Porn site: Are you 18+
14-yo: Yes
Lol
Just say shit like: "Yes I support the President's executive order to deport people who are anti-American"
[Meaning: I support the deportation of elon musk]
😁
It’s one or the other. you are either committed to the constitution or you believe in the pedo kings unconstitutional royal decrees
This is North Korea, not North America, right?
Behold, it's the Democratic People's Republic of MAGAland
imo the questions about efficiency and commitment to the constitution isn't that crazy to ask upfront. If I remember right all federal employees have to swear an oath when they are hired. It also matches the one military officers say.
“I, ____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
But note that it makes no mention of loyalty to the President directly, unlike the oath of enlistment military enlisted members say (see below). That's what I find most odd about these questions on USAjobs and what I think is crossing a line leaning towards political loyalty over constitutional loyalty.
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
yeah thats why I said one was bonkers and the rest were slipper slopes. The constitution is theoretically fine but allows for weeding out people who harp on the pesky bill of rights or such. Then given the doge debacle the word efficiency has negative cannotations really but again its that its so easy to weed out if the efficiency is about how more social services would actually reduce costs.
Yeah I just wanted to emphazise your point
And I agree efficiency is about speeding things up without losing the quality of the end result. And I think anyone that has been to a BMV can see the need for that kind of change but that's not what they are after. They seem to just charge through the red tape and warning labels to do what they want
