In 2006, these kinds of political litmus tests were scandalous. 20 years later, in the Trump era, in which there's some sort of calamity or wrongdoing seemingly daily, I doubt that this will make waves on the national stage. It still should be covered and amplified, mind you, but it shows how far the media landscape has fallen.

Yes. It all smells...like fascism. Loyalty over competence.

And don't worry, Joseph, FOX News viewers will never hear a peep about Judd's latest scoop.

Department of Labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is "under scrutiny" for her actions or, rather, inactions as labor secretary. She is a sham, she has fired enough people from the DOL to be scandalous and she is running the department into the ground. This "payoff" position as a summer intern, guaranteeing work in the department after graduation is another way of putting these magats into the government without working for it and certainly with their biases intact. Very sorry for the workers of America.

"Payoff"----freudian slip. "Liberty" U, ironic satire

Holy Cow. This administration hiring interns in an illegal manner? No way. Yes way.

Meritocracy, schmeritocracy.

The silver lining here is that Liberty Law is not even a fifth rate law school and its students and graduates are the definition of incompetent religious fanatic losers.

I suppose a high GPA would interfere greatly with the political alignment of today's GOP.

I had flashbacks to George Costanza interviewing candidates for the Susan Ross Scholarship.

Boy, they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Bitter dregs, indeed.

The world is forced by the US to see the US as she really is but does she (the US) have a mirror?

Say it: Jerry Falwell Jr. is a CUCKOLD & was discovered encouraging the pool boy to take his sexual place in the bedroom. Liberty University’s finest.

Understatement of the Millenium - The next Democrat Administration is going to have a lot of cleaning up to do.

But wouldn't firing these idealogues also constitute discrimination? Yes, I know the current administration is doing this, but do two wrongs make a right?

Why would it? Constitution violators, pedophile supporters, seditionist supporters don’t belong in the WH or in ANY public office. New admins pick their own. Quit attempting some sort of both-sides story here.

What is the relationship between the increased supply of weapons obtained by ICE, DHS, etc. and the Trump administrations plans to subvert the results of the mid-terms?
