They belong on gitmo. Being unemployed is the least of their problems.

They should be yelled and hissed at anytime they show their faces in public. They have no shame. Fuck each and every one of them
Decent people shouldn't have to be around them

Screw them. They should have thought of this years ago.

Potential employers correctly do not trust these traitors, as they're probably leaking information to Russians and other foreign bad actors.

It's only because he lost. They have no values or morals. This is all bullshit. That one woman said she took the White House job to make a difference and to fight against policies she disagreed with.
LIKE WHAT? Otherwise, it's a convenient but not convincing excuse.
"oh I didn't agree with everything - I was trying to make change from the inside" - yeah, right. That's what Log Cabin Republicans say too about their complicity.

What security? They've gone along with Trump's claims that Russia is a hoax and put pressure on Capitol police heads to drop the security for January 6th at the Capitol building. I wouldn't trust them to be in charge of my local supermarket security.

Their heads should be shaved on Jan 20th. Then let them job hunt,

Michelle Flourney and Bob Harward must be so relieved they made the right decision when they decided against joining the Administration. Harward said he didn't want to be a part of 'the shit sandwich' and Flourney said she wanted control of her hires and she knew that wouldn't happen.

You mean the national security officers who were in charge when Russia committed an unprecedented hack of US government agencies? They’re having trouble finding jobs? You don’t say.

They're lucky that not finding jobs appears to be their only problem at the moment. In older times, they'd be tarred and feathered at minimum.

Sorry, but I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I read the words "Trump" and "taint" in the same sentence.

Well yeah. The assumption (other than to the Trump cult) is that his people have contacts with a rival foreign power that intends harm to the US.
Who the fuck would want to hire someone with that fecal miasma lingering around them?

It seems that Trump staffers are also worried about their future career endeavors and believe themselves to be "victims of the chaos."

Rescue me from this chaos I knowingly helped create!

It really isn’t political. It is judging somebody’s intelligence and employability based on their actions.
I always refused to enact drug tests on my employees. A sheepish little Mormon convert taught me this. If they have a problem with drugs, it will show up in their work. Fire them for that.
Same way here. Lack of good judgement is one of if not the most important thing to consider when bringing someone on board.

[quote]Officials working in national security are particularly vulnerable to this challenge. Many are tied to controversial Trump policies and scandals, be it child separation at the border or the politicization of the military on display when top Pentagon leaders stood with Trump for a photo op after authorities forcefully cleared Lafayette Square of protesters.
Well doesn't that comment cover everything from soup to nuts, as though "child separation" can be whitewashed away as a "policy"... yeah, well if that's a policy, I guess Nazi is just a word to describe well-manicured spiffy-uniform-wearing innocents who just happened to be around when human beings were slaughtered in cold blood (hello Josh Hawley!); as though putting the military on display as Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act was just another fleeting moment on social media, soon to be forgotten in the daily mish-mash of egregious acts that have flowed from this administration like water from 20-inch sewage viaduct.
Maybe professionals working in national security ought think about, you know, [italic]the good of the country[/italic] before working for the worst president in American history.

The Trump misadministration weakened rather than strengthened US national security.
Who would hire people complicit in helping Trump do that?

Boo-hoo. Cunts. I'm sure there are plenty McDonald's jobs to be had.

Where there are certainly worse in the administration, I hope to see Kayleigh McEnany reduced to working as a cashier at Ulta - not even Sephora will hire her! (they figure so long as she wears a mask, why not...). There should be some consequence in this world for being a chronic liar

Translated: "After doing so many illegal favors for companies and taking money to push their agendas, I expected to have companies lined up to hire me without having to make any effort to have a safe landing. I can't believe I actually have to pick up the phone and make some phone calls to get a job."

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
