Pre-Trump, it was the best place to get complex litigation experience right out of the gate. Once you did a few years at DOJ you were very attractive to biglaw, boutiques, you name it. If they see DOJ they know you have top credentials and good experience working in high volume, high stakes litigation.

Now? Absolutely radioactive to employers. Most will file your resume in the circular filing bin unless you have a connection there that can vouch for you that you never misled the court, ignored court orders, made unsupported or unconstitutional arguments, etc.

Heartbreaking.

the current DOJ is on social media begging people to apply. it's obviously not prestigious now and probably filled with gutter trash from places like Liberty U.

To be respectable you have to show absolute deference to the opinion of the AG on any given matter. But to be respectable you also have to know this AG is fraud. The way you thread that needle is to be candid with the court, but that just gets you fired so what's the point?

This is an underrated aspect of LinkedIn. You'll see some guy criticizing some CEO's management style in the comments of some post and suggesting how he'd do it better, click through, and see "Papa John's - Team Member - 8 years, 3 months".

IIRC their hiring ads specifically say you must be on board with Trump and the MAGA agenda. And a large percentage of highly educated people in law firms and elsewhere will not want to hire someone who has that mindset.

also ljl at bloodless biglaw fags who serve the slimiest GC corps clutching their pearls about serving in the DOJ. we're all hired guns. no one is going to be morally outraged you took a job in the DOJ when biglaw is going to have you doing 100x worse shit for more money.

Important to note that the DOJ attorneys are often the ones trying harder than anyone to free people in illegal immigration detention. Now would be the absolute best time to join if you were a lib.

lol at thinking these are honest, principled people. for the bigfed lawyers that are actually otherwise employable, it’s an irresistible opportunity to *very* publicly crow about how they’re SO NOBLE that they chose public service but now they’re being forced to be EVEN MORE NOBLE in rejecting this administration’s fascist grasping (which coincidentally results in them making 4x more money hehehe).

This administration is a disaster and the people defending all of it suck. So much of it is objectively bad. I totally understand why people voted for Trump over Harris and don’t blame them, but all this bullshit he’s doing should be called out.

It’s like people have to defend their team at all costs. Same thing with “moderate” liberals defending child sex change surgery because the “science” suppers it. What happened to us all? Can’t people just call out bullshit when they see it?

Why does it matter if DOJ hires have low GPAs and get discriminated against by shitlibs? Law is a Fake Job anyway. And the admin is awesome at like everything compared to the competition imo.

lots and lots of people here are calling out trump for iran, etc. some have abandoned him completely.

i agree that there is a disappointing lack of principles, with many people supporting shit they criticized libs for, but there are still plenty of people that *do* call out bullshit when they see it.

Libs fail to appreciate the ideological diversity on “the right.” It’s much much much more varied than on the left where no disagreement is allowed. They always, ALWAYS project. Fuentes has been ranting against Trump for the better part of a year.

reminds me of libs LOLing at the gop ousting johnson. they cannot conceive of a party not being completely unified. they'd rather keep pelosi forever even if she won't even put bills with supermajority support up for a vote. a trumpesqe figure reforming their party is unthinkable. they just get scumfucked like sanders.

i think that's why we've seen a bunch of 90s libs types move to the gop.
