![A leaked law-school email promoting a U.S. Department of Labor internship frames political loyalty to President Trump as the core qualification, with grades treated as secondary. The pitch explicitly anticipates political litmus-test questions in screening.
“The two most important requirements are you MUST be aligned politically with President Trump and his administration and you must be willing to work hard.”
“Don’t be scared off by the transcript requirement. GPA is not a strong factor.”
Derek Green, associate director, Liberty University School of Law, in an email to students promoting a U.S. Department of Labor internship.
“Did you vote for President Trump?”
“Do you disagree with the President on anything?”

#Patronage was the support, encouragement, privilege, or financial aid that an organization or individual bestowed on another.
Becoming visible in the writing world requires published works except in very rare circumstances. As the writer you can't bet on accidental luck. So, start off by taking your writing serious. You are the first patron of your own writing. Put up.

This #centralization of fiscal power allows for the #direct #rewarding of #loyalty and the punishing of dissent, solidifying a #patronage #system that operates outside the bounds of standard democratic checks and balances.
Digital art, with "Full Breakfast - $20/month" at the bottom. There's a jar and a glass of purple juice, a huge stack of pancakes with strawberry jam, a Brazilian couscous with eggs and sausages, and a bowl of yogurt with fruit.
Digital art, with "Fruit Salad - $10/month" on the side, and a collection of assorted fruits and berries, a glass cup with a fruit salad, and a jar of honey dripping on top of it.
Digital art, with "Sunny Side Up! - $5/month" written on it, showing a pan with 4 sunny side up eggs plus bacon.

So auspicious that Death By Lightning on #Netflix should be showing now. I recommend you watch it. You’ll see the system of patronage in the Republican Party, now re-invoked by #Trump, that Garfield tried to stamp out.
It’s been almost 150 years

Trump found a new way to reward some of his cronies:

Each writer has to decide to prioritize their writing (career). While the decision is first a thought, it doesn't manifest as real until you put your money where your thought is. Until then, it is wishful or 'someday'. You are your founding patron.

Britain should be a #republic, not because of the misdemeanors of individuals but because #monarchy is an anachronism. It presides over a system of #inequlity, #patronage and #colonialism that has no place in modern #democracies #DemocracyIsAJourney #democracy
A little-known #drone company backed by #DonaldTrumpJr has won its largest-ever contract from the Pentagon. He holds a $4mn stake in #UnusualMachines which will manufacture 3,500 drone motors, alongside various other drone parts. on.ft.com/4hrz20E #DonaldTrump #KingTrump #Corruption #Patronage
Happy Friday. Another definition you say, definitely...
What is #Patronage?
It's when a person in power gives jobs, contracts, or benefits to supporters, usually in exchange for political loyalty or votes. It can become #corrupt when it's used to buy influence or reward allies regardless of merit.
