Thank Christian Nationalist Jesus that we don't have to deal with 'those' people.

My father as a Jew and a WWII Veteran would be appalled by the appointment of anyone admitting to a Nazi streak to any government position. And I am as well. Dad fortunately didn’t live to see this and dad was a moderate republican. I think he would be revulsed by the party now. I left decades ago.

We have watched career members of the government quit or be forced out.

We have watched career military disrespected by those who couldn’t qualify for anything and now maybe up on war charges or murder. They are scrambling for cover.

We have seen inexperienced and incompetents put in positions of power.

These hires know they owe their loyalty to the man who put them in charge because they lack qualifications and experience to hold high level positions. And that’s just the kind of loyalty the President values. The guarantees they stay loyal. Those running the show then must purge those who are more qualified than they are. We’ve seen it with loyalty polygraphs, but the FBI chief’s buddies — they were exempted. Ask yourself why.

Those who work in government are loyal to the people who employ them, the American Public, the Constitution, and the Law.

The text on the cross translates as “blessed”.

The text on the building translates as “General Services Administration”.

The text on the woman reads “Rejected”.

The text on the banner translates as:

No experience necessary.
Loyalty and ignorance suffice.
Only right-thinking lickspittles are admitted under this salvation-consecration-appointment decree.

This image is a composite of many AI drawn images in a style I have chosen to work under that heralds back to an era when my people were sent up the chimneys. It seemed obvious to me to do so to with these echoes of the past that we should hear never again.
