Time for public beheadings.
Ok, so like, blackmail is bad, whatever. BUT.
If Nancy Mace asked me to blackmail someone... your boi might be in trouble. You're telling me this super based chick ALSO dabbles in the grey area of the law? Cmonnnnnn man.
Ex-advisor to Nancy Mace said congresswoman asked him to blackmail fiancé she accused of assault

She's been talking about how this dude raped her for over a year, she's been talking about how she was going to expose him...and this random person comes out now? Bro you had time.

How does Bono calculate this? Is friends with Fauci?

Get ready to answer four questions on EO’s if you are applying to a Federal position. He’s issued already over 145 EO’s this term, how anyone could know all 145 is difficult. I think it’s time to start looking at either removing the number or limiting the number of EOs a President can make in a term.

Super hard disagree. The constitution is the constitution. Gutting the Executive power because someone is using that power is not the move because you might have to study for a government job.
That's some Hamas war casualty-level death figures there.
The only thing that is keeping hundreds of thousands of foreigners alive is American corruption? LOL. No.
The first question I would have asked when someone tossed a figure like that out to me would be, "Were any of them Americans?" If the answer is "no," that's squarely in the "not our fucking problem" bin. Next.
It’s more than just the essay part. What goes around comes around. Trump 2.0 is following what Biden did in moving swiftly without allowing for discussion at the legislative branch but he’s taken it a step further with his use of EOs. The next Democrat who becomes President will use the same way to “execute.” Right now you are okay with it because you agree with all the EO’s. You may have a different feeling when they start going against what you feel is good.
It's four essay questions for anybody above GS5.
These questions seem like a to fish for political leaning before conducting interviews.
A GS6 BOP employee isn't applying to be a correctional officer because they were "inspired by the Constitution", they have no power to help implement EOs, etc; they're applying because its the best paying job in their area.

Wild assumptions here, and I reject your premise. I have never said I agree with all the EO’s and for all my happiness about the admin and the overall direction, I’m happy to call balls and strikes. I don’t mind pointed conversation but let’s not put words in my mouth from a bad faith starting point.
The slippery slope argument (especially from the right) of “well the NEXT guy is going to use them this way so we shouldn’t use the levers of power when we have them” is *exactly how we got to where we are*. Obama decimated the EO system; Biden continued it, and now Trump is resetting it as a corrective measure to get back to center. The legal challenges (as we have talked about) are welcomed as they’ll force Congress and the SC to act within the bounds of the constitution and checks and balances, and I am here for it.
I’ll say it again- I’m not a Republican. I’m a conservative and a constitutional literalist. When we start talking about shredding or ignoring the constitution because you don’t like what’s happening right this second, that’s where you lose me.
All presidents use EOs and Eos are an absolutely necessary part of presidential power--but even the president has limits placed on his power (Congressional oversight, judicial review, etc.).
Once the Democrats pull their heads out of their ass and finally figure out why they lost this election, the backlash could be epic. That will largely depend on just how successful Trump's policies are in the relative short term and (ironically enough) just how 'inclusive' those successes are.

Why does the losing side always want to remove the consequences of a vote?
About 6-7k less than the city of Pittsburgh? Yeah, nah. I'm all for helping out, but not when our people suffer and we have a side helping of rampant theft and corruption. Also, it is Bono so he can go die in a fire and his band sucks. Fuck Bono.

4 questions for a Federal job?
I'm onboard with this. Now, asking a GS-13 and up, maybe a -12, these questions, I can get behind the requirement. Maybe tweak them a little, maybe have slightly different questions per pay grade, the concept is sound. Yeah, some GS-5 loggie and a GS-14 supervisor aren't looking at the world in the same light. Hell, only ask the questions for GS-12's, new hires and promotions alike.
This is a very astute observation. +3
Questions 1 and 3 (Constitution/EO questions) are the ones that (as written) are fishing for political leanings; not a fan of that.
I might be a giant lab nerd and that’s why I want to work on radioactivity calibration equipment for NIST, not the Constitution or the "founding principles of the country".
I could dislike everything the President does but still do my job. I think the last time I looked fed employees were roughly ~40 ~35 ~15 D/R/I, so there's always plenty of people who don't like the current boss.
Both of those can still be effective lines of questioning with more generalized phrasing.
Why do you want to work in x role or y agency instead of a similar private sector role/employer?
How you would preform your job duties to support policies and regulations, even if you may disagree with them?
The other two questions (efficiency/work ethic) are basic board questions, which realistically is where all of these should be asked, not the initial application packet.
