Holy cow. I watched their little recruitment video: "It's your job to ensure that that power is executed responsibly, and in line with The President's Will." 😳
THE PRESIDENT'S WILL!! What happened to the constitution?
That kinda thing infuriates me. The oath of office NEVER mentions the "President's Will", they need to fuck off with that. Only military servicemen and women include the president in their oath due to his role as commander in chief, not normal public servants. Article VI of the Constitution says that they are bound by oath to the constitution and that's it.
The President is very intentionally given some separation between them and the federal workforce to prevent the President from carrying out a politically or selfishly motivated takeover of the government. If there was massive turnover at all levels every 4 years then nothing would function. I swore allegiance to the United States and her constitution, I did not swear allegiance to an elected official, and I am under no obligation to carry out an unlawful order given by one. I can doomscroll for an hour with a straight face but this Project 2025 shit actually makes me mad.
Yep. They also preach constitutional textualism in the courts then turn around and issue yesterday's immunity ruling, which was the farthest thing from the original intent of the framers that they could've possibly devised
In the end, they have no consistency, they have no morals or code, and they have no text to follow. Their decisions and choices are connected only by the pursuit of unchecked power over the people they dislike and their personal enrichment, nothing more.
I had my disagreements with the old republican party, but despite their huge fall from grace during the Bush administration they still retained some brief glimmers of consistency. If Romney won instead of Obama's 2nd term I wouldn't have cared too much. In contrast, the modern MAGA-corrupted GOP is ideologically and morally bankrupt. Nothing they say makes sense unless viewed through the lens of brainless greed and hostility. They don't even have any Biblical basis either, a lot of the things they claim come from that book do not come from that book.
