Ohhhh I get it. The guy hated the stress of Mondays, so he killed Prez Garfield, who is later reincarnated as Garfield the cat who now hates Mondays because they remind him of his assassination.

Holy shit, it all checks out. President Garfield had a nephew named Rutherford B. Lasagna who he gave a high-ranking position to, just two weeks before he was assassinated.

Dont worry, the Trump admin brings that back, too.

True, shame he missed though.

That didn’t end. Most ambassador appointments are like that, and even though agency/department appointments require congressional approval, the wheels are so well greased, people with zero relevant experience get through. The horse breeder who was head of FEMA under bush comes to mind.

It’s also kinda how governments work; merit is nice to have, but loyalty is vital. It doesn’t matter how competent someone is if they’re going to use their power to sabotage your administration to benefit their friends in the opposition.

Yeah the OP is doing a poor job of communicating what this is supposed to mean, something I’m actually noticing about their posting general actually. This isn’t to say that appointments stopped all together, it’s basically saying that there became two different tiers in government work. Political appointments are still around of course in terms of like you said ambassadors and secretaries and what not, but the more day-to-day aspects of government like the mailman are no longer appointed on political grounds. It’s basically what project 2025 is trying to reverse.

Agreed. I appreciate the dedication @Don_Dickle, but you don’t have to simply grab reddit threads. It ends up feeling a bit… off.

AceFuzzLord ,

Didn’t know about this, but I at least know a little about the guy who assassinated Garfield from Sam O’Nella (assuming he got his facts right).

They’ll learn 'em!

The link is one of the major reasons for reform against things like that. Teddy Roosevelt spearheaded the whole reform

So what you’re saying is political assassination works

Still seems to work that way.

Oh that’s a huge over simplification on why the guy shot Garfield. Dude was literally insane.
