If you think this is fun, just wait until the communists come for MLK. It is only a matter of time.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out –because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out –because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.

President Trump signed an executive order that all federal government job positions be filled with applicants who have the experience regardless of whether they do not even have a college degree.
Again the EO requires federal jobs to be filled with whoever is the best candidate with experience even if they have no college degree.
