Yeah. For example, the Hunter Biden case was not dropped. Not only was it not dropped, they got a little special little universe to keep going.

Yeah, they gave it a bonus unit. So, right. That's a great comparison. The conception of the Department of Justice as basically... serving the president specifically and personally, as opposed to serving the nation, the constitution, which is clearly what they view is totally new.

And the firing of career department of justice officials, which again, who have statutory legal civil servant protection, which makes it illegal to fire them in this manner, just full stop. Like, do you want your Meat inspection and the people running nuclear safety and the frontline prosecutors to be people who were in Donald Trump's truth, social replies or were hanging around him at Mar-a-Lago.

And that's the reason they got the job. Or do you want people who know how to inspect meat, preserve nuclear safety, prosecute cases like they are? Like when I said a machine politics with nuclear weapons, this is purge. of merit-based hiring. Can I say one more thing? Can I do one riff here? Please. Dude, just go.

Literally, the way that we conceive of the civil service protections that happen starting in the late 19th century under the Hayes administration and continue that turned the federal government from a spoil system machine to what we have now. is a merit system. The incredible thing is what they are doing is they are attacking the merit system.

The merit system is what we have that protects the civil servant because what replaces that is flunkies, lackeys of the president, like political apparatchiks. So what they are doing is destroying the merit system.

Forget the fact that there are other accusations of essentially misconduct. Right. hostile workplace environment, forget the fact that he like appears to by the accounts of multiple people, including his ex sister-in-law in a signed affidavit, have a genuine and wrenching, frankly, drinking problem.

He ran two little nonprofits and ran them into the ground. And he's a weekend cable news host who is now going to run the most powerful military in the history of human civilization. Is that bad? It is a ludicrous. His resume, I assume you've done some hiring before. His resume comes in the door. It gets a half a second look and is put in the pile to not interview.
