I guess to some here the answer is yes - they were small cogs in the Trump presidency machine and people suffered, so now it's their turn to suffer!... this is how you people are thinking/feeling.

But why didn't staffers from Obama's presidency deserve the same fate? Obama deported 3 million, 1 million more than Bush 43. That's a hell of a lot of separated families. And Obama built the cages. Obama enforced Bush 43's lateral repatriation aggressively - you guys wanna talk family separation? Lateral repatriation meant that Mexicans who crossed into the U.S. illegally would be sent back through points of entry hundreds if not thousands of miles away from where they came in; their Spanish accent was different from where they were repatriated, which gave them away as non-locals. They knew nobody, didn't know the area, and many were murdered by cartels. Women and kids were sent back via the same points of entry. Is death not the ultimate family separation?

The sadistic delight some of you demonstrate when it comes to President Trump, to his supporters, and now, to those who worked for him is a spectacle to behold, and it's definitely not a pretty one.
Because they didn't stick around to offer support to a president whose administration racked up four times as many indictments in four years as Nixon did in five, and Nixon really was a crook. You lie down with dogs, you get up unemployable.

Also, Obama didn't incite a seditious mob to attempt a violent overthrow of the government. The time for the staffers to resign, at the latest, would have been as soon as the attack began, so they could try to muster a bit of plausible deniability.

For the record, the Obama/Biden Administration had precisely zero indictments of any of its members.

This is kind of scary that through academia, this one institution can control moral thought process of fortune 500 companies via main stream media.

Trump employees can get hired, but most avoid businesses that are blue infiltrated or have any woke leanings. Example. Avoid Hollywood, or silicon Valley, journalism or press. These industries will view trump employees differently. I would say maybe try agriculture, alt media, try getting a job in an another federal, state position or municipality.
Agriculture is good. California needs fruit pickers.

Good luck - you will need it.
Funny you should mention that. IN 1869, SCOTUS was increased from 7 to 9 members to match the number of Circuit Courts.

There are currently 13 Circuit Courts.

Did anyone read the last paragraph that the OP quoted? Sounds like that's the problem right there.

“They're all very all about themselves with narcissistic attitudes, thinking any company in the country will want to hire me,” the recruiter told BI. “I listened to one for about 20 minutes, and it was so much baloney, what he was spewing out to me."
That can be a problem. Before I retired, we needed to hire a couple of new salespeople. The sales staff conducted interviews during lunch meetings to pick someone who could handle the job and be compatible with the existing staff, and report their conclusions to HR.

We sent out a call to the USC Business School which was not but a couple of miles from us and asked for resumes from recent graduates. We got about forty.

One of the standouts was a guy from Sumter who had spent summers working at a golf course. Not sales, but he was a steady worker. What killed him was when he added under personal information that he had driven the car carrying Strom Thurmond in a local parade. The CEO and President of the company were both Yellow Dog Democrats, and the President had marched with MLK in Alabama.

No idea where the young nimrod ended up, but it wasn't as a member of our sales force. Experience matters.

Well, hire a few of them, then. Problem solved.

I used to work with a guy who was employed at Enron. He definitely thought that was a strike against him as he job searched right after the Enron collapse.

Read the rest at the link.

Surprisingly, political view is not protected by any labor law out there.
Anyone associated with trump will likely never find work again. What sane company would hire that person? They screwed thenselves.

Just like with Arthur Anderson, no one associates the rank and file with the company and its issues. These companies employed thousands of people, and only a handful were complicit in the issues that drove them under, the rest were rank and file employees and executives/management in other divisions, business units, that had zero connection with the issues that caused the demise.

Arthur Andersen is not a negative.

The Trump Accountability Project disagrees with you, and unfortunately, the people who are actually doing this (you're just expressing your approval about other people not being able to feed themselves and their families, which tells me about your character) are going after everybody. Even low-level staffers barely out of college who are people of color.

A post loaded with untruths, and fraught with selective outrage. To people like you, hundreds of immigrant-owned businesses torched means nothing, but a few broken windows (broken by Antifa and BLM who infiltrated the patriots naive enough to enter the Capitol) is akin to an attempt to overthrow the government.

It's amazing how people on C-D are truly this unaware and so easy to manipulate like marionettes. And it speaks volumes to the ignorance in this country, such as that when John Podesta spoke about an "unaware and compliant citizenry."

But of course, Trump deported far fewer than Obama (as did Bush 43), and you guys think Trump is evil for cages which Barack Hussein built.

See, this is why you leftists, you Democrats, are bleeding people. The #WalkAway movement has had no real counterpart of right-to-left shifts by people. On the other hand, when Americans begin to do their own research, they leave the Democratic Party; not all become Republicans nor did all become supporters of President Trump, but many did.

You guys lose, you try to change the rules of the game. It's just as pathetic as the hypocrisy shown by so many Democrats who demanded people abide by lockdown rules but violated the rules themselves.
